They could offer a subscription model, and then make it a monthly "game" of deciding where your money's going to go. Lots of people are willing to become sustaining members of charities. Or, I'm a member of a meta-charity called Foundation

I don't think the article puts enough emphasis on gas prices driving car sales. When I first started driving in 1999-2000, gas prices were under $2.00 USD. When I fill up at lunch today, it'll be around $3.89.

> the first human every woman can say was her... I think that's a typo, should be: "...first woman every human ...". All of us have Mitochondrial Eve as our matrilineal MRCA, not just those with two X chromosomes.

I wasn't speaking about the law, I was speaking about moral behavior. Consent which is anything less than enthusiastic should be frowned upon, at the very least, by all of us.

People also get confused by the idea that some types of non-married men aren't bachelors.

Yeah, I dunno, I'm not getting it. It's a synchronous experience, but none of the pictures I've seen so far are funny. Not one iota of this whole discussion matters if it's not entertaining.

What's with the random words and phrases italicized ? It didn't even look like it was for emphasis.

There are already lots of pictures of it. Quite sure the DoE doesn't care at all.

Are Apps scripts run in browser or on the server? Because this could be used as a Twitter proxy for anyone whose network filters for Twitter.com but not docs.google.com. Or, for that matter, data from any other blocked website... EDIT: word

Maybe... IANAEE but chip design and materials is probably still important for all that. It's not necessarily a regular chip wrapped in heat/radiation/whatever shielding. I'm trying to google around a bit for more info but have to get back t

One of the journos asked about that, and it sounds like probably not. I know @elakdawalla was live-tweeting it, so she might mention it. Anyway the gist was that they had not predicted that debris would get kicked up like that (or at least

...And @MarsCuriosity JUST tweeted NASA's version of the stitch: http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/msl/multimedia/pia16027.ht... Looks like some different distortion correction, cropping, and levels correction was done between the two.

Those are from vastly different source pictures, I think. The "original" was from mostly thumbnails and a couple full-res pics, I believe, whereas the "fixed" one is from the high-res pics they just released today. They just had a press con

I'm not sure, besides posting a giant "WE'RE REALLY NOT PIRATES, HERE'S WHY: (link)" at the top of your page, but then it might be a "doth protest too much" sort of turn-off to potential users.

One thing I really appreciated at a recent interview with a startup was when they said, "the most likely outcome for startups in our position is Chapter 11 bankruptcy. We believe in our product and of course don't think that will happen, bu

Personally I'd be very wary of that. As I said on another comment, this is a planned two-year mission. So if they drop-in a compatible component and later found out there was a manufacturing problem that shortens its life, that's not accept

> How are you supposed to maneuver a 2 ton (or any rover for that matter) rover without cameras? It's one ton, and you can't, which is why it has 2 navigation cameras and 4 hazard cameras near the wheels.

This is not a point-and-shoot camera for your grandma to use. It's hardened against radiation, vibration, heat, cold, dust, etc., sending back high-quality RAW images for a planned two-year mission. So no, it's not "$100 more".

It's one of the first scenes of the movie. It is not a "huge" plot point.

Another problem, besides the ones huggyface is pointing out, is that if everyone decided to share their experience on a story like this, there will be 4000 comments. I don't think many such anecdotes are fictitious like huggyface does--I th

I like the general idea and presentation, but if you're seriously desiring to measure social shift, I think basing that judgment on "yea/yeah" and "anyway/anyways" usage is problematic. The former is dropping a silent letter from an arbitra

Looks like Walgreens has it also. Will be trying this. Less for the "all-natural" aspect than the annoying masking scents they put in standard deodorants that I can smell on myself.

Yeah, it's got a really self-helpy title & cover, but it's actually pretty methodical and rigorous.
