They see the post-PC world, and Windows Phone never panned out.

First thing I thought of when I saw this post.

“Suggests”? WaPo, where you been?

Excluding mobile homes, you can get a 318 square foot studio in downtown San Diego for only $180,000! Not including the $770/mo HOA fee. I like that the listing includes a lot size of 1.2 acres, as if you get the whole city block to yourself.

On to Titan! Yes, you heard right, we are going to see a quadcopter flying around on Titan!

Well, yeah…

I see, thank you.

Wow, nothing about Bubo? My man got the eye from the witches, saved Perseus, and helped him defeat the Kraken. He’s a hero. Mr. Owl just ate some candy.

Hell yeah we slept in the deployment area. We were deploying to Afghanistan by air, and after showing up on base with the hand-carry gear that would go on the plane with us (other gear was a combination of cargo flight and stuff already there) we jumped on the passenger buses to take us to the nearby air base we would fly out of. It was still early when we got there, both early in the morning and early for the flight. You always build in plenty of extra time; “hurry up and wait” is the mantra. So we spent a few hours before the plane even showed up just waiting in the passenger terminal, which was just a big hangar with a snack bar on one end and unlimited coffee. Most of us slept for a bit. And before you ask where, the answer is always “on the floor”.

Without additional details on where those troops are (US or already on board ships in the Mediterranean?), it could mean a few things, but speaking from my own experience it would involve having all required equipment packed up and staged on a military base, personnel would have a bag packed and easily accessible, and any scheduled training exercises would likely be cancelled, especially if they were multi-day exercises. Normal daily routine would be the same. Any leave would be cancelled. 24 hours was how long we had to report to an assembly area for deployment, not necessarily actually leave the country, much less arrive at the destination.

Glorious chaos. The game eases you into it with a few races with only 10 or 20 computer-controlled opponents. The first true 99 race was astonishing. I like the way they have everyone abreast in a standing start, and then spread them out with a few obstacles before funneling them onto the actual track so it becomes a rolling start, but without random chance determining the start order.

Anyone wanna lay odds on at least one of the defense team getting removed from the trial for violating this order?
