It was a rhetorical question, perhaps improperly phrased as such. The point being that they have barely even begun to attempt to scratch the surface. How effective are rovers at doing this? Shouldn't the ultimate goal to be to gather data t

It is naive to ask why another? I was under the impression that Curiosity was supposed to be like the rover to end all Martian rovers. What else do they need? It seems like there must be something else to do aside from.... rove. Maybe n

Agreed. I have yet to have a year where gaming on my PC "sucked". Sure, Far Cry 3 was a little disappointing, but look at The Elder Scrolls, Starcraft, DotA, Diablo, Counter-strike, Half-Life, Doom, etc. The list could go on. And on. (I did

It does, on the front and back [1]. I took a set of keys, a fork and a pocket knife to the front and back glass panels of the Nexus 4 and couldn't get a scratch to show up anywhere. I also slipped and dropped the phone while pulling it out

I don't at all, but I still think it's a very interesting concept I'd love to see taken further. I almost felt bad hitting "No" because of it. Maybe I'll become a convert.

To play devil's advocate: do you think that drug-related crimes would increase or decrease as a result of legalization? It's a question I haven't considered before, but one that takes a bit of consideration. I certainly don't see it decreas

If there's enough force (hydraulic?) behind the handles I can see it actually being an advantage in the winter to free them. I could also see the Model X being pretty suitable for a northern climate. I'd love to have one here in Maine to te

I haven't personally driven one, but in my opinion things like that are only as distracting as you, the individual, make them. It's analogous to texting while driving. Is the fact that I have a phone I can do an amazing variety of things on

Might I point you in the direction of a plasma? Takes care of most of your gripes (I'd have to check on the inputs and optical out), and they're cheaper. Burn-in issues are not a problem anymore, and the newer models work pretty well in wel

As this is a positive article about git, if the OP reads this, I'd suggest using the word "inexpensive" next time. Cheap often has a negative connotation that something is low-cost at the expense of quality. Just a pet peeve. Git is most ce

Articles like this always renew my distaste for discussing politics. There are clear problems with the US's legislative process and elected officials, but there seems to be no way to effectively induce change in them, especially as an ind
