@MagicMT: What are "the other two"? Most phones I've played with allow rotation 3 ways. This is probably for convenience. Using the iPhone as an example, it's obvious which way is "up" in portrait mode, but not as obvious which way you should turn it for landscape
@ModernBawhair: He could have tried to crash land on his commanding officer. I think that gives a bigger "fuck you".
Not allowing gum is very different than not allowing fun. Plus, the locals and gift shops even make fun of the fact that they've got a lot of strict laws. So, you can't have gum, but it's very clean and safe. I think that's a fair trade.
Also, no durians on public transit.

While I doubt this is what they were thinking when they wrote this article, antimatter could be a good source of energy for interstellar travel. Yes, as a source of energy on earth, it's inefficient. But on a spaceship, antimatter could very likely reduce the weight of fuel needed, making powered spaceflight more practical.
That limit is imposed by customs when leaving/entering the country. I don't think it's TSAs job to screen for (or care about) your cash.
Why would you say "millionth of a metre"? Using a relatively large unit of measurement, and then taking an extremely tiny fraction of it does not provide a sense of scale. Better would be "one micron", or even "thousandth of a millimetre", since people can actually imagine how small a millimetre is.
That's like saying I travel approximately one trillionth of a light year (round trip) for work every day.

It's a lot easier to leave the gawker community than it is to leave Facebook. The #whitenoise community still exists, but it exists independently of Gizmodo.
Personally, I will continue to read/post, as long as ca.gizmodo.com and uk.gizmodo.com still retain the old format. Once those are gone, I really don't have much reason to stay.

The first one is the only illegal one. The second one might violate the EULA. Showing video clips and other images, especially for educational use, is considered fair use (although you still have to credit your sources).
@Because Sheldon J. Plankton: I disagree. I think it has too many words for that.

@Prosthetics: "delayed" usually implies they actually set a release date. Blizzard never gives release dates for anything until they're sure.
I don't think there's very much out of the ordinary in this situation for an adult. First she tried to help her family, then she walked a short distance to look for help.
It's pretty impressive for a 4 year old, considering they're not generally independent at that age, among other things, but it's still a fairly typical response from an adult.

Is there anything you can't eat with chopsticks (other than soup/liquids)? Maybe they should make chopsticks with holes down the centre, like straws! Then they would be the ultimate eating utensil, though a pain in the ass to clean.
Chopsticks + potato chips = clean fingers for your keyboard.

@Denver is too damn high: If it's just a chat site, why can't we just use IRC?

I'm not religious, so I could be wrong, but I've always felt confession was more to show that you could admit your sins to yourself (and to God I guess).
Much like recovering addicts, where the first step is admitting you have a problem (ie. admitting you've sinned).

Fake optimus prime has TWO dual cores.
For publishing. Yeah, they're probably making money off of it, but it costs a lot of money to self publish a book. It's not like they can go to a publishing company, and say "Here's $200. Print me 7 copies of this book", they'll have to print it in large-ish numbers. The PDF copies are trivial in cost, and so if you're only donating $1, you can't think of it as actually buying anything, you're simply supporting their cause.
I love the new layout! It's so much faster and I can navigate it so much better than the old one. Two independently scrolling columns? Genius. I wish I'd thought of that.

They'll swing back to the belief that they can make people... better. And I do not hold to that.
