Mustang vs Smart car
direpickleFake. From what I've gathered from seeing the local Smart cars, they have a top speed of 40mph on the highway.
Neil deGrasse Tyson schooling ignorant climate fools
direpickleI disagree a bit with your sentiment, but I'm happy to see you taking more of a reasoned approach in your comments.
I think people get too worked up over fighting about whether or not climate change exists instead of actually trying to do something about it.
I also think that there are possibly more important causes to champion right now, and that this one has become something of a distraction.

NBC Censors Snowden's Critical 9/11 Comments from Interview
direpickleI don't know. I don't think this is censorship. I think it was just edited out for time, because this really doesn't present any new information. As he said, he's just quoting the 9/11 report. We already know that we had all of the information necessary. Everyone knows. It was widely, widely reported.

direpickleI knew one of them would be Wheels on Meals. Absolutely one of my favorite fight scenes ever.
Mac Pro No (Funny)
direpickleRequiring a whole bunch of external boxes and connectors to do something kinda basic like add storage space kind of negates the point of having a very tiny/pretty computer.
I like this commercial, but Boxx workstations are basically just a rackmount server with nVidia quadro/tesla cards and a remote PCoIP card. If money is no limit, I can build you an 80-core workstation with 2TB ram and 200TB of storage. (probably about 6kW of power required). You'd have to run Windows 2012 Server to support that much ram though (8.1 pro only supports 512GB)
EDIT: with recently released Xeon E7v2, can have 8*15-core, so 120 cores, and 4TB ram...
Most of their arguments are ATI vs nVidia and Windows vs Mac OS X.
I got to unbox a MacPro two weeks ago, they are quite nice, small, easy to open (flip 1 switch, then lift). What's different about seeing them in person is how shiny it is - all the images made it seem kinda flat black, but it's very glossy. The internal SSD could sustain 900+ MB/s (both read and write) on the Blackmagic benchmark tool. Really impressive. Attach a thunderbolt Drobo, and you are set for storage capacity.

Louis CK hates the movie Gravity
direpickleNot every movie makes such a big deal about how It's So Realistic, though. When you make that the point of all of your marketing and all of the word of mouth... yeah. You're going to get called on it.
there are always going to be popcorn films that have huge holes in them. there are movies out there with much bigger plot holes than Gravity, yet don't garner the scrutiny Gravity gets. watch any Honest Trailer or HISHE video to see what I mean.
I don't know what movie you were watching, but Gravity was *not* about science and technology.
