  6. Re:For the three of you who actually used it on Google Chrome To Disallow Backspace As a 'Back' Button (independent.co.uk) · · Score: 1

    And there's still hope for those three people. They can run key mapping software that detects when they're not in a form while on a web page and make backspace trigger alt-left! Just do the opposite of http://stackoverflow.com/quest....

  7. Give Chinese consumers crippleware products so no company cares enough to protect its Chinese sold IP.

  8. JPL using Microsoft VR on NASA Looks To PlayStation VR To Train Space Robot Operators (roadtovr.com) · · Score: 1

    Saw a keynote recently from one of the Phd's who worked on one of the Mars rovers at JPL and they're using the Microsoft VR to better visualize the Martian landscape. If you watch the linked video it's closer to the end, but the whole video is worth watching.

  11. Software physician on Should Programmers Be Called Engineers? (theatlantic.com) · · Score: 2

    I'll leave regulation for the engineers and automotive firmware developers. I'm upgrading my title to software physician so I can claim that I "practice" software development and don't incur any liability.

  12. Don't do something that is hard on Let's Not Go To Mars · · Score: 2

  16. Re:Five is plenty on Short Sleepers Might Be Benefiting From a DNA Mutation · · Score: 4, Informative

    When I was young I definitely required a full 8 hours of sleep. For some strange reason, almost immediately after I had my first child (I'm male) I developed the super-human ability to function quite well on 3-5 hours of sleep. Three years later I'm gradually regressing and currently seeing the need for 5-6 hours of sleep.

  17. Re: it could... on Extreme Reduction Gearing Device Offers an Amazing Gear Ratio · · Score: 1

    How about fine-grained telescope/antenna rotation to track stars across the sky as they move for (radio-)astronomy. You'd or course need a complement mechanism for the elevation.

    Either I should stop buying Google ads because they are severely overstating their exposure or people within the United States of America are not Google's primary customer base.

  22. What about safety? on How Tesla Batteries Will Force Home Wiring To Go Low Voltage · · Score: 1

    When my 3yr old sticks a forked prong in my DC electrical outlet, what is the safety factor compared to the current AC plugs?
