If Dona was so unsung (and I heard all the old stories about Atari and their wild escapades at the office), why was she so recorded in the FUCKING 80's, and WHY DID I KNOW HER NAME 30 YEARS AGO?? Dona had her vision and followed it. Clearly it worked out for her since she DID THE JOB, failed to mention Ed Logg as her partner in the game (he's a man, fuck him), or Carol Shaw. She WAS given ink about it plenty of times, particularly that she was a woman. Maybe she got senile over the years and forgot the articles by Gamasutra, Computer Programming Magazine (in the 80's), etc. Why aren't more women programmers? Because women don't gravitate towards that education of their own accord. THEY make that trend. That's on NOONE but THEMSELVES, the girls club sub culture women created for themselves and their ROLE MODELS. I have met only two young women who said "I wanna go to school to make GAMES.". Neither did, they got better paying jobs in things such as engineering designing brakes for Mercedes on CAD. Like the Rangers, there's only so many who WANT to do it. You can't force women to do it just to justify your feminazi world view. That would be human trafficking, which women can only be the victims of from what I hear. Speaking of sexism, why is it every Human Resources and Payroll office I've ever had to set foot in is 100% female staffed? I've heard more than 1 statement that women have a "natural affinity and people skills that men don't possess". If feminists are so spun up about being the dominant sex in everything, then why don't more of them stop campaigning and start studying the field? Oh thats right, because claiming you're a feminist doesn't actually require training or effort, and would cost you your soap box. #ALLHAILTHEPERPETUALGYNARCHY

That was very powerful. I'm glad I'm not tripping right now, that would have put me over the top, like an MGMT video.

Dude if you're in Portland, you talk to the Quarterworld guys. They're the one renting out the masses of pinball machines covering our city right now http://www.quarterworldarcade.com/qwvending

7:00 Remember, kids: Pictures of Manson, Gacy, and Bundy make the perfect gift for your Forensic Scientist dad, and really liven up the morgue, especially after a long day at the office leaves him dead on his feet.

Shit like this is WHY the EPA's real mission in life is to pad the Super Fund, a giant federal pot of money for dealing with mega spills. It's they are Fine Happy over irrelevant shit that individuals and small businesses shouldn't have to deal with, and terrorize companies with their ridiculous cash penalties that are ludicrous shakedowns going from the individual to the multinational. They are padding that fund for the Armageddon spill. Thankfully, the EPA defers to state DEQ's in all but 2 states. And people (NeoCons) endorse Keystone XL for it's miniscule financial gain, but completely disregard the cost of THAT aging and wiping out the mid west environment.

Speedboats that cost as much as some small warships and coast guard craft. I take it back, sometimes Lowest Bidder is fine.

I see what's happening here. The Government and affiliated entities are pulling some reverse psychology magic. And considering the general IQ of the public today, it ain't hard. Since the Public likes to do the opposite of whatever the government says, and the government is sick of hearing about aliens, they're taking the next logical step: saying aliens and UFO's are real, and you should all totally believe them about. So you will finally stop hassling them about UFO's.

Every time some hippie who thinks we shouldn't bother with space, because someone said "there's no Planet B", you should know they forgot to say "Yet." I have no intention of helping you keep the safety of humanity in one easy-to-destroy basket, waiting for our Giant Asteroid or Nuclear Apocalypse moment. Pretty sure the Dinosaurs would have agreed.

Yeah, one that's already been cornered by the already rich, and like always, you buy whatever your now-hidden feudal lords are selling.

Arcades with vintage video and pinball games are rapidly spreading because they make good Bar/Nightclubs. Legendary joints like Ground Kontrol have been at this for a couple years now. Selling $6 cocktails is fine by itself, but if you also spent $6 in quarters while drinking it? These bars have become my regular hangouts, and I'm in my 40's. http://www.quarterworldarcade.com/ https://groundkontrol.com/

A couple million. Takes that to open a 7-11. Not exactly an impressive amount of cash to come up with a major sophisticated engineering project. And Jody should put more of her effort into tooth care, and less on finding a cause to impress her friends from Berkeley.

I realize Motherboard aimed this documentary at being shocking and disturbing, and shooting purists and hippies alike are going to "pooh pooh" the lack of "discipline". Let me set you straight: This is a warfare system at it's core. For WAR. That's it's natural application, and stuff your notions. This is just a micro version of my Bradley's LRF system that is critical to my crew to survive combat. Think how this can help troops in the 'Stan, or police hostage snipers, and then shut up.

When you can pull into what was a gas station, and swap your empty battery modules for freshly charged ones in minutes rather than plug in and hang out for hours, then you will see those Chevron stations covered in solar panels, EV's in line to top off n' go, and electric cars and delivery vehicles truly win hearts and minds. Bolted-in battery designs aren't the way to go. They need to be quick swap, like propane tanks at Home Depot.

@miguellopez3392 Makes sense in the short term I suppose, since there's no such things as battery swap stations off every freeway exit, and to keep initial sticker shock low. I'm just saying that at this point, it's going to be a roadblock to national adoption if you have to stop for a few hours rather than minutes. If the Oil industry was smart, they would have been better served getting in on the game rather than fighting it by having the traditional gas station lane for cars to get gas, and one for EV cars to swap modules, and push for a battery pack standard with EV manufacturers

@miguellopez3392 You'd have to think of the battery like a deposit, like when you get a 5 gl tank of propane for your BBQ. You're not keeping it anyways (well, some people do), but you're fronting the cost of A battery module rather than your battery module. Once you've done that, so long as you yourself don't trash it utterly, it's like a tank swap at Home Depot. You're paying for the propane in a nice, clean and maintained cylinder they give you when you turn in your old (and probably ratty) one, and the small fee for the upkeep from that point forward. This defrays the cost of recycling and maintenance of the module, but the bulk of your expense is the going rate for the energy. There's also the question of the "I ran out of gas" scenario. AAA could show up with modules if I ran out of juice on the road, but I don't know what their policy or practices are for getting an empty Tesla to the next charging station are. But I completely agree with you that fast charging has come a long way. I have a 1100 watt eBike that I ride the crap out of, and a 1.5 amp and 8 amp charger for it. I can ride 25 miles on a single charge, and either gently preserve the battery life by waiting 5 hours on the 1.5 amp, or I can suffer a loss of long term life by having it topped off in 90 minutes on the other. Yeah, I could feel the heat when on the fast charger. I try to keep it between 25-80% charged at all times to preserve it's service life.
