Mine has all kinds of buttons that never get used...under the hood. Outside of the door it thankfully has buttons for 1 Minute, Start, and Stop. Very nicely done.

I had nothing to do with JFK's assassination.

How could the third comment down in a thread be the first thing you read today?

Maybe to you. Where I was standing people were cheering and chanting USA! USA!

I don't get your comment. How is Craigslist sad? Everyone seems to use them and I hear very few complaints.

And I personally find the website very easy to navigate.

It is so cheap to collect and store nowadays that your argument won't be true for long, if it even still is.

John Titor still uses AltaVista.

Maybe this shows a generational gap...but I don't think I could ever consider downloading at 600k/sec pitiful.

So does this mean I don't have to listen to people on HN complain about Netflix/Xbox Live/Pissroulette/etc. not being available outside the US anymore? Thank God!

I would expect UPS to inspect whatever they wanted to, unless UPS specifically stated they would not.

I could have sworn they invented web pages for that.

I considered verbal communication as the most secure! I'm curious what would be considered more secure. The only method more secure that I can think of is sign language, but that doesn't translate electronically.

I noticed you didn't use a URL shortener on your own company's URL. Why is that?

Yeah this story is right up there with Obama not being an American for me. Until someone has any reasonable proof I just can't seem to care.

In case no one told you the US is awesome. There's more to a country than its government.

You've been brainwashed. The best option for consumers is for it to be free, with no ads.

It's all city down there...that's why.

Good thing the folks quoted above are stupid!

First of all they give us what they love, death. Thanks! Secondly, there is no death without life...so they will always be beholden to us.

Early smartphones mostly came out in the mid 2000s...way before Instagram or Pinterest.

So what would folks using an ad blocker be then, if they're "just short of thieves"?

I was hoping you had a website in your profile so I could surf all over it.

No one really cares about transgender people. They make up such a small percentage of the population that they're not worth worrying about. In nearly all cases they are forced into the existing system/structure, unless legally required otherwise.

I'll be sure to urinate directly in Lake Mead.

I would also pay for such a service. I have several old band shirts that belonged to my dad that just can't safely be worn anymore. I'd love to be able to pay someone to recreate those. T-shirts would be the simple case though. I have other clothes that I'd like to clone as well.

This could be a copyright nightmare though.

"MS's focus here with ESPN and the NFL is bang-on."

I disagree. They managed to partner with the NFL but yet not show any games. Most of the games for my favorite team I still can't watch. Seems really lame to me.

In the old days they didn't have to report home...they knew what you were watching! (It was the only program being sent)

I have an original Xbox with a bad power supply I'll sell you for $300. Meets all your specs!

"Who cares what the box looks like." I'll just leave the Limp Bizkit stickers on it then.

Not to single you out specifically, but you guys sound like a bunch of pansies. Make up a few fake people with names and addresses and use those. It's more fun to do so on the spot.

Ted Billson. There...use that. His email address is ted@bill.com if you get asked. ;)

Ha! That totally reminded me of my dog. He begs and begs for a treat, and when he finally realizes he's not getting his nth treat that day he totally "extinction bursts" and starts ramming his head into things.

Stand clear when he does that, he's a big dog!

I also like that distinction. To me "big" data isn't big until there is a lot of it...and there is a definite distinction between "How many bananas were sold Tuesday?" and "Was user's LED email indicator on when xyz happened?"

"The more content that becomes accesible, the lower value each piece of content can command."

Not many people realize this fact. As our ability to record and retrieve stuff increases, the prices for 'entertainment' or 'art' will drop. Production of any unit that is not consumed (i.e. used up/destroyed) will result in surplus. The counter-example is food. Food production will still be valuable in the future because the old food is used up or destroyed. Movie and music production, book writing, etc. will be near worthless for most folks because there will be infinite choices.

Might want to start planning your children's future careers appropriately!
