Hate will only bring more hate. We need dialog on this, not angry ranting. "I'm right and you don't care that what you're doing can make (insert devastating event) happen."

Everybody inventing terms like Frankenfood, stop. You're angry that they're not doing the research you feel they should be doing before launching food like this. You're also not helping your cause any. You're generally considered a joke. Instead of spending days in front of super markets in masks yelling at customers, how about using that time and your resources to do the legitimate research you're always complaining they don't do! And keep an open mind for god's sake! If it's a good thing, it's a good thing! If it's not, it's not. Find out before you start screaming.

Everyone yelling about how stupid the hippies are who think this is a bad idea, stop. Yes, we need to do something. Yes, we need to do something fast. But the population is not yet so out of control that we don't have other options! If you stopped or even just cut back your meat consumption, for instance, we'd have a higher capacity for food production. The population of the planet is not yet so out of control that little things can't help. Do you have any idea how much farm land it takes to house and feed a cow? And don't give any BS about how you have every right after you just yelled at a bunch of people for being cold and uncaring because they don't agree with you. If you're going to keep eating meat, go ahead, but cut the high-and-mighty routine.

Because putting the motor in the stroller would have been excessive.

Oh come on! A storm trooper? In an Exige? That's completely idiotic and ridiculous.

A storm trooper would be in an Elise. Vader would get the Exige.

I'm sorry, but the entire US economy has essentially been nothing but a Ponzi scheme at least since the Regan era. We've built a dependence on borrowed money, essentially borrowing from the next generation again and again and again. In other words, we're paying for everything with the next investor's money. Social Security is just a red herring, something to distract from the bigger problem. From the looks of it, it's working.

This reminds me of the guy with the Zune tattoo, only less permanent and more expensive.

Lifelong MN resident and a professional graphic designer. Believe what you want about how the imprint was made, but the lighting is far too perfect to be photoshop. Anyway, I've seen this kind of imprint done in person. We used to do it as kids here at recess. You can see the edges aren't as perfect as the rest. The farther in the snow goes, the better the detail you get. It takes practice, but you have to press right so that the snow on top gets compacted. We figured it out after some kids fell off their sleds and imprinted the zippers of their snow-pants.

Aside from choosing a short-lived rpm format (seriously, 16 2/3?), that's a rather amazing piece of engineering. I want one, but I'd be afraid to ever use it.

Those liars! Telling us there's no wood on mars when there clearly is! Obviously they've been lying so they can hoard all the Mars wood, which everyone knows is superior to Earth wood.

Seriously though, why are there so many conspiracies about space? I mean, how exactly does it immediately effect us? If it ever does come to a point where we, the general public, are effected by whether there's wood up there or not, and I can only assume that would be on account of us BEING there, we'd probably figure it out pretty quick when we started tripping over the randomly placed logs.

"Play Free Bird!"

As a graphic designer, I can say that this would be extremely useful during meetings for team projects. Throw the latest pieces up on the wall for everyone to see and interact with, bring it down to the work screen in front of you to make changes, everyone can get a hands-on feel for the pieces. Not to mention it would definitely wow clients.

It's a medieval medical instrument. Used primarily in conjunction with leaches, a barber (the medical practitioners of the medieval) would use this instrument to attempt to dislodge trolls that may have become lodged in the intestines or bowels, thereby causing a significant imbalance in the humors. After treatment, the patient was instructed to eat one live canary whole to scare the dislodged troll, and to sleep on their side on top of a pile of wheat husks for the next two three nights or until they crossed paths with a tall man carrying a caged yellow cat, in which case the treatment was declared a success and the patient would spend the next two weeks suspended upside down in the town square to re-balance their humors.

Take a look at the U.K. 3-door model of the Ford Focus and you'll see that at least one of the big three already knows exactly how to build a high-quality, sporty, fun, and highly efficient car. Even Top Gear loved this one. Actually, I've been hoping that Ford would bring that over state-side so I could finally get an American car that's worth a damn.

A blank check is a bad idea, but doing nothing is just stupid. We need the companies to re-structure, and we're in a unique position to force that. Let's make an offer with strings and throw our weight around.

Maybe an early nail gun?

Overbooked my ass!

While the airline industry saw significant losses throughout the first and second quarter, rail companies reported record ridership.
