I wish someone had mentioned that before I decided to "test" the first one out of the package with some 4.5v (IIRC) leads while hunched over my bench trying to see wtf I was doing...
...aren't worth even trying to edit anymore simply because of the egos that might be stepped on.
I thought that was the whole idea?

Absolutely agree - there are entire post-graduate courses dealing with fluid inclusions in hydrothermal systems. Little bubbles of water in rocks, right? Um... No, not exactly. Those systems created a large proportion of the gold, silver, copper, and rare earth element mines on the planet (as well as many others). If people didn't research and understand fluid movement in these systems, there would be no more mines to dig up the raw materials for your precious computers.
Saying geology is simple is like saying "Computers are simple - I can use Word." - utterly moronic and uninformed. "Oh, you're a geologist - you dig up gold, right?" Yeah, something like that.
AC, do you know of any decent places to discuss geology? As you point out, Slashdot is not the best place for discussion of the topic. The cynic in me would say that slashdot is not the best place for discussion of any topic, for reasons you've deftly pointed out.

After a while, society generally will learn the lesson, and the lasers will become merely the stuff of legend.
Here in australia, they already are... After a few morons decided it'd be funny to shoot laserpointers at the cockpit of 747's on approach, they got banned, pretty much.
The thing is, that looks like the way flash is SUPPOSED to be used. Staggered loading of graphic-heavy content, allowing for a consistent look-and-feel while not having to reload the page for every photo.
It actually improves the user experience, rather than being obtrusive, in the way and just a gimmick. GP, well done on the site design and photography - very clean.
+1. As GP said, some degree of fear ("This is dangerous, move away") is absolutely appropriate. Blinding, immobilising, paralysing fear is absolutely not - and that's what a phobia is. It's quite dangerous, in fact - I've seen people step over a 1' long harmless tree snake while walking through the bush on a trail, then start screaming and running blindly once they see it, oblivious to the slippery rocks and crumbling edges of cliffs around them... What goes from "Take a step back and wait for the snake to do whatever the hell it's doing" moves extremely quickly to a very dangerous situation. Not good.

You poor bastard.
No, He's New Here.
You obviously don't read netcraft.
Fair trade?
I bet that was an illuminating experience...

He can't - prior art. The dinosaurs would have something to say on this matter...
They have hot grits mines where you live? Explains the taste...
Just like that awesome grammar checker you're using? ;)
For buying your wife roses as a surprise?
Just big-boned, huh?
Back away from the pizza boxes, man. Keep your hands where I can see them.
Why didn't I have one of those? I feel so unloved...
Define 'ouch'. ;)
Your momma told me so last night!

Too lazy to type ^H when they make mistakes...
And never has your sig been more appropriate...
A good case of "right time, right place", I'd say...

Get fucked, AC. I'm sick of seeing your links.

Are you drunk, Mr. Connery?
...And can't spell.
You wouldn't happen to be French, would you?
