I drive a toyota tacoma. The Taliban and African warlords use them as lightweight tanks. They literally never die. My lifestyle takes me off road and in deep snow frequently and I would never get anything else. I've just kicked it's ass

A cruise missile is a controlled. The future "robots" will be autonomous. There are plenty of UAV's (unmanned aerial vehicle) used in different theaters but very few (public) UAAV's (unmanned autonomous aerial vehicle.) A UAV has a pilot

Your point about the time it takes for HAPE to set in is valid. But I'm pretty sure that times in the death zone vary greatly. Most parties camp at least one night above 8000m and weather / SNAFU's often hold them there for multiple days

Supposedly if you're out riding a horse for a long time and you point him toward his barn, he'll rush home and not listen to you b/c he wants to rest. It's a common problem among mountaineers that once the "goal" has been reached they rush

Down climbing is inherently more difficult than climbing. When you're "up"-climbing you can see your next steps more easily b/c they are closer to your eyes and the slope is at a better angle for watching your steps. You also have your ice

Count me among those who who thinks the CS vs. Software engineering debate is silly. I never understood how you could teach CS theory w/o a lot of programming and I have no idea how you'd teach programming w/o the theory. If you can't figu

I'm sure the weekly standard isn't too popular here but they ran a great cover story called "The Infantilization of Corporate America," that was pretty funny and it speaks to your comment: http://www.weeklystandard.com/Content/Public/Artic

Perhaps it's an east coast thing but I was just back for Thanksgiving and of the many Ivy League superstars I grew up with, almost all are working on Wall St, in management consulting shops, or they have become lawyers. I'm not saying that

I know this is a joke but if a Brit told HN "Happy Guy Fawkes Day" Americans would probably say, "cheers." It's a holiday, give thanks, don't be cynical for 24 hours :)

Sure he's a smart guy no doubt, but how stupid would it sound if the CEO of Toyota said the same thing? What if the Secretary of Defense had a plan to modernize our railroads? Or if Steve Jobs had a revolutionary plan to save the airline

I'm sorry to the family and friends of the kid, suicide is the only kind of death that never makes sense no matter how much time passes... As for justin.tv this could cut both ways. The family could sue, their traffic could go nuclear or b

David brooks explained the difference really well. The bailout of wall st. Was a bailout of the entire financial system. If it didn't happen comapnies would not be able to borrow any money. Forget who it's from. If we don't bail out the big

Excuse me, but you don't know anything about me or my opinions on the continent. I mentioned visualizations of two stats, one from the World Bank and One From the CIA with the word "depressing" in front of them. You have made a bunch of a

I think that carbon fiber is a really good insulator which is not good for a computer. Think carbon fiber mufflers on motorcycles not getting hot. Composite skis don't get cold. I suppose plastic is the same in that respect... But there
