Cool story, and Turing is a hero of mine, but it's often overlooked that Polish cryptographers were instrumental in cracking Enigma before the Brits: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/...

First motorcycle I ever owned! it's missing turn signals too. Fine for off-road though. I also removed that "insta-vasectomy" tail light on mine.

It's always a sign of intelligence when you insult people you disagree with.

You mean like Fred's "facts" about California's population growth?

Really? Maybe according to Rush Limbaugh but a poll from last November had his approval rate at 38% which is one of the lowest in the country. While Dayton's rating was at 62% which tied for highest in the nation.

Yet the population of Minnesota is growing. Hmmmm.

All the more reason you should move to a more conservative state! Those low taxes just make everything great. Everyone knows how great the quality of life is in Mississippi.

Maybe you could move to South Dakota then. Obviously it pains you to live here.

Never lived there but if the taxes in Minnesota upset you so much why don't you move there?

If you are looking for Mississippi on this list they are ranked 50th. North Carolina is 37th. Minnesota is ranked 5th. http://247wallst.com/specia...

Yep, all those low taxes make Mississippi a great place to live.

This is just a fantastic essay. Sharing this everywhere! (especially with my 12 year old daughter) I'm going to add "Guys: censorship is when the authorities repress a work of art, not when someone dislikes it." to the long list of things I wish I'd written.

Bad luck! But still a great first effort. OK Victory, when can we expect a street legal version to be available for sale to the general public? ;-)

A friend of mine in High School had one of these. It was one of the slowest cars I've ever driven. We timed it from 0 to 60 mph, albeit using just a wristwatch and the car's speedometer, and it took 24 seconds. But all in all not a bad car for a young kid. It was real reliable, safe, and not fast enough to let you get in trouble.

Re: Twins' Jason Kubel says goodbye, as Kendrys Morales signed

sparkman — Mon, 09 Jun 2014 15:59:38 -0000

Kubel is a nice guy and had some great games as a Twin but he was absolutely horrid in the post season. His batting average is .069 and his On base percentage .156. http://www.baseball-referen...

I can't seem to get "Infinite" to be disabled when in Center mode. Is this possible?

This is a really nice bike. However I must be getting old. I like the original LeMans III better.

Was G. Gordon Liddy busy? He's got a lot of experience at sidestepping the Constitution too.

You mean Tesla cars are not perfect? That's the first I've heard of that! I'm sure as soon as Elon gets back from whipping up a cure for cancer and ushering in an era of total World Peace he'll get right on the problem.

So readers can just spew ignorant opinions about articles they never actually read. Got it.

Re: Apple Just Ended the Era of Paid Operating Systems

Again, did you read the story? There are no lies here.

Don't think I said that it did? If you think the article sucks after reading then entire thing cool. But criticizing something because of the headline? Bogus.
