I'm curious. Do the visuals just look different or do these psychedelics affect you at a much deeper level (eg. affect the thoughts and not just the visual perceptions)? Have you tried taking a small dose just to see what a 'low-intensity trip' is like? Can you use these photos and the knowledge of the article as a stepping-stone to describe what you do see when you are tripping?
...when you visit a clickbait site such as Cracked.com, blocks all the "you may also be interested in" stuff so that you just see what you came to see and don't get distracted into visiting millions of other "10 signs you are a serial procrastinator, number 5 will turn your underwear into a war-zone" links?
So far, after Googling, I have only been able to find "Anti-Upworthy" which de-sensationalises the language of clickbait headlines, but ideally, I'd like to block the display of "you may also be interested in" stuff. And no, using a.hosts file to block the offending site is not an answer because I don't get to see the original article I came to see.
Yes. Because the Conservatives want to win over UKIP voters by emphasising that they are not just going to not join the Eurozone, but also bring back Britain's original currency. I think we should call our Prime Minister David "Shilling" Cameron.
I am using Tab Mix Plus to arrange the tabs in multiple rows, and I can get multiple rows on FF 30. I am also using Classic Theme Restorer to get the tabs back to the way they were before.
My guess is that 5.0[sane] would be around the time they changed the extension system (ca. 10.0[insane]) to take into account the rapid release cycle breaking extensions that relied on a max version number. Internally, I can't off the top of my head think of what changed internally since 10.0[insane], but I'd guess the introduction of Australis (29.0[insane]) would make it 6.0[sane] (unless there was another really major change which would push the sane version number to 7.0 or even 8.0). So FF 30.0[insane] would be 6.1[sane].
Another way of doing it is that the major version number only changes when an ESR is branched off, and the minor version number corresponds to an insane-major-number. So 4->4, 10->5, 17->6, 24->7, so 30.0[insane] would be 7.6[sane].
Perhaps if we can work out what version number Firefox should have, we can encourage disgruntled Firefox users to refer to it by it's sane version, and hope this will catch on.
Codex Seraphinianus is an encyclopaedia of an imaginary world published in 1981 and written in a similar style to Voynich, but the illustrations are much more surreal.

This sums up nicely the trend towards dumbed down user-interfaces. They're spending so much time on making these gadgets and services accessible to the masses that the power-users are utterly being left out.
Depending on the site (eg. if it overlays the content with something else), you might be able to get the content back if you use the Nuke Anything Enhanced extension - https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/nuke-anything-enhanced/ and 'nuke' whatever is blocking the content.
I think I heard somewhere (early 1990's IIRC) that someone did a study with a neural network where they randomly disconnected nodes (I can't remember what type of neural network it was). At first, the output was gibberish, but when more nodes were disconnected, the output resembled things that were some of the first things the network had learned. Someone likened this to Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey where when HAL was gradually being shut down, HAL recited "Mary Had a Little Lamb"
Bear in mind that the Curiosity rover, it's parts and all the pre-requisite science was not thought up by a single person. The design probably used many pre-existing parts that had been used in previous space-missions - several of which were not designed by the Curiosity designer (or design-team). These parts have been developed and refined over the years. As for the science behind the parts and the missions, that was defined over the course of the centuries by countless intellectuals.
So basically, what it boils down to is that an intelligent person today has a lot more pre-existing knowledge to play with than an intelligent person from 1000BCE.

Because reverse-engineering psychedelics is news for nerds.
Apparently, video game music is supposed to be good for coding to, as it is designed in such a way as to not distract the player too much.

If you live in a cold climate, don't forget to take into account the fact that the heat generated by your GPU can reduce your heating-bill.
In Windows 8.1 update 1, they've now added a shutdown menu on the start-screen.

Please? I really miss being able to explore a patch of this wonderful planet and read Wikipedia articles about nearby places.

Let's just hope that Disney does not bring him back, make him talk only in Jive and turn his leitmotif into some early 20th century Jazz.
