  1. Dexter's "Lab" on The Origin of Dogs · · Score: 2

    This is kind of on topic since it involves a dog, and due to the lack of comments about this article, I figured that I'd post it.

    Has anyone seen the Dexter's Lab where Dexter gets a dog? I love the part when his dad goes into his room, and says "How long has this Lab been here?" Dexter was like "ummm, well the thing is..." Then his dad was like "...Because you know how much I like Labrador Retrievers!" Then his dad goes on to tell Dexter that its a big responsibility to keep a dog, and stuff.

    I get a kick out of that one every time I see it.

  7. Re:What's the big deal about privacy? on Browsers Which Protect Your Privacy? · · Score: 3, Informative

    if you check the src of many ad images they are sometimes referencing a script (htm, asp, cgi, pl, etc) instead of the actual image (gif, jpg, png, etc). this script grabs all kind of parameters through javascript from the user, then forwards to an image so that all the user sees is an image. i guess some people consider this a violation of privacy.

    Back in the days of my Yamaha 4x burner, I tacked up the coasters throughout my apartment. After I ran out of nails and wall-space, I decided that a new burner would be a good investment.

  14. Re:Fiber optics? on Making a Keyboard with Mutating Keycaps? · · Score: 2

    How about this plastic optical fiber from Asahi Kasei...

    Multi-core POF LUMINOUS M GRADE
    Until now, the versatility of optical fibers has been limited by the increased attenuation which accompanied bending. M-grade Luminous, with its unique multi-core structure, has eliminated this problem for all practical purposes. Even the tightest kink in the cord will not cause attenuation to rise significantly.

    With freedom from concerns of increased attenuation, M-grade Luminous enables a whole new range of applications and installation configurations.


    Unrelated to the original topic, the V-Grade would be pretty sweet for case-modding.

    We've had this argument several times where I work and I always end up losing to "Super Mario 64 revolutionized 3 person gaming", or even worse "All games in the future will be multiplayer over the internet".
