"after decades of American anti-intellectualism, now we are supposed to trust that the people in power are smarter than we are, and simply hand them $700 billion" (not 100% accurate quote, but as close as I can remember). Why is it a bad thing to be smart in America? Why are the jocks running our country? - Robert Felty

Because all the people that used to tease you in school for being a nerd, or smart, or doing your homework - they're all voting now and they hate those damn smart people that used to make them look bad. - Brian Johns

I like that he used the word "anti-intellectualism". That's a topic I think about often. - Brian Johns

Originally the Galactica motion picture (for overseas distribution) was filmed with dialog explaining that the Cylons were creatures. They were blind and created helmet scanners to see. That explains the helmets... The living Cylons were changed to robots for the TV series because of an hourly body-count limitation for prime-time television. There was, however, no limit to how many robots could be ‘killed’ per hour so they became robots and dialog was revised to explain it all. - Zoe via Bookmarklet

I love playing hide and seek with the kittehs! - Paul Reynolds via Bookmarklet

OMG!! I was just cracking up so much! That was awesome! - Veronica

From Concept Ships: "Richard sent me some high resolution Battlestar Galactica concept art. Thanks so much! Check out the scale on the header image... Insane. " - Mark Trapp via Bookmarklet

that first one looks like a water gun. - Sean O'Hanley

Hippie Glenn's kittehs. I think they're stoned. - Paul Reynolds

beautiful kittehs - Michael J. Cohen (mjc)

My understanding is you need to stand on your head and breath to drain the gas out. Otherwise it can sit in your lungs and suffocate you. - Joe Beda

That's quite interesting! - Lindsay Donaghe

Spore gets mostly 1-star reviews from people complaining about DRM. - Amit Patel via Bookmarklet

I just bought the game but the post prompted me to do a quick search on SecuROM. Their official FAQ doesn't inspire much confidence. For example their uninstall instructions are written without much care: "To remove all SecuROM related files [...] type 'cmd' and press on the keyboard. Please type enter the path to the protected executable, e.g. C:\Program Files\My Game\game.exe Add the following parameter and hit : /uninstall" http://www.securom.com/support... - Simon

They're up to 535 1-star reviews. Sheesh. - Amit Patel

1,148 1-star reviews now! - Laurence Gonsalves

Anytime I have ever met a voiceover guy in person, my head has almost exploded. - Christopher Sacca

I really want to hang out and party with these guys. - Amir Gharaat

"... the organisms were assembled in fractal patterns from frond-like building blocks. They were unable to move and had no reproductive organs, perhaps reproducing by dropping off new fronds. The creatures, which were neither animals or plants, are called rangeomorphs." - Sanjeev Singh via Bookmarklet

"They accounted for over 80% of fossils early in the Ediacara period, when there were no mobile animals or traces of burrows. But they declined as more mobile animals evolved, apparently unable to compete, or perhaps being eaten themselves." - Sanjeev Singh

now if only someone would slap together a 1000 GPU's and make a supercomputer to shame other supercomputers! - Rahul Das

Net found this on YT. Man, Kermit was such a huge part of my life. - Christopher Sacca

wow... such an early Ralph the dog! - Rachel L Fox

Ha! About the i: "The lowercase i is kind of cute with that little dot, I suppose, but I’m not really buying it." - Chris Wetherell

The example video accompanying this paper is astounding. Any one of the video reconstruction effects in this paper/video would be great in itself, but together it's just astounding for a research project. Expect great things from these folks. They need to join a production house or get a director stat. - Kevin Fox

Hey, Harold! something you could use the multiple shots for maybe? - Kamilah Gill

oh, so cool... I so want to try this with a few videos where I took pics at the same time... - Harold

"Why do we capitalize the word “I”? There’s no grammatical reason for doing so, and oddly enough, the majuscule “I” appears only in English. Consider other languages: some, like Hebrew, Arabic and Devanagari-Hindi, have no capitalized letters, and others, like Japanese, make it possible to drop pronouns altogether. The supposedly snobbish French leave all personal pronouns in the unassuming lowercase, and Germans respectfully capitalize the formal form of “you” and even, occasionally, the informal form of “you,” but would never capitalize “I.” Yet in English, the solitary “I” towers above “he,” “she,” “it” and the royal “we.” Even a gathering that includes God might not be addressed with a capitalized “you.”" - Jason Wehmhoener via Bookmarklet

Soviets... - Brian Rakowski

very purdy Karen! - Ross Miller

I feel like you could rival Van Gogh's 'Haystacks' series with all the wonderful sunsets you get at this site through the seasons. - Kevin Fox
