Given how fast Internet news spreads, the PR team is probably shitting bricks right about now. I'll be curious to see what kind of spin they put on it.
Also, I'm surprised there are so many Discovery haters here, given/.'s usual love of MythBusters.
I dunno, I wear sunglasses when driving, safety glasses at work, goggles when swimming, and plenty of people wear glasses when reading, if not all the time. I don't see how wearing glasses when watching TV is really any less convenient than all the other things I wear them for, if it means I get a 3D TV sooner, rather than later.
Plus, I already wear a silly headset when playing Xbox. You could pretty much put my head in a fishbowl if that made anything cooler, I'm not trying to impress anyone in my living room.

Yeah, but I'm not usually trying to multitask while wearing swimming goggles, and eyeglasses don't get in the way of doing other things. Like most people, if I'm watching TV, I'm also doing other activities: cooking, browsing the Internet on my laptop, etc. So long as these 3D glasses interfere with my normal vision, they won't be a part of my entertainment system.
Right-ear advantage has been well-studied before (see Wikipedia's page on dichotic listening tests for details). I remember it being presented as fact in my intro linguistics course 10 years ago. I recall that class also noting, however, that people who learn tonal languages such as Mandarin as a first language have a left-ear advantage instead [citation needed].
Calling it an herbal supplement seems disingenuous. Just because it grows in nature doesn't make it safe, nor smart to leave unregulated. Coca leaves, opium poppies, tobacco, a psilocybin mushrooms are not, by common usage, herbal remedies, and by extension, neither is marijuana. Herbal supplements face less stringent requirements because they are not drugs, nor are they (in general) precursors to drugs.
I'm all for legalization, but I am also for measures of control and regulation, the same as tobacco and alcohol consumption. THC is a drug, one that significantly impairs judgment, and it deserves more respect than comparing it with placebos like Ginkgo biloba and echinacea.
I disagree. I'm left-handed, and my mouse is on the left side. My work (like most others, I'm guessing) has ambidextrous mice, and I use a Razer mouse at home. I just suffer when I find an ergonomic one in the wild, but that's no different than encountering any right-handed device, like can openers or power tools.

. . . Then, just get some gorillas to eat the snakes, and come winter, the gorillas will all freeze to death. Problem solved!

Sorry for the convenience.

Though, if Mallory has the ability to hash every file on your computer, you probably have bigger problems than password security.
