Just a side note, a common preservative Sodium(Natrium) Benzoate (NaC6H5CO2) used in most foodstuff is long known to cause alterations in human DNA. For example, almost all brands of ketchups use this preservative.
how are they - scratch that, we - finding out about this just now?
and do the iDevices still able to report back their location even when GPS is turned off? Curious.
Well whaddaya know.. I'm actually currently living in Indonesia. My shopping habit is pretty much similar to when I was living back in the US. I still do grocery run about once or twice a week, and inevitably, some food bought last week become hidden in the back corner of the fridge. Right now I just remembered there is a Feta cheese sitting in my fridge, most likely already expired. I usually remember to use it when I'm at work (like now), but once I get home I totally forget about it. If I just catch a glimpse of it when I peek in my fridge, surely the chance of me using it would be greater.
Where I live, we have no 'round-the-corner market where you can just pick up things to cook for tonight. In fact, many traditional market (with its heel-deep wet dirt, piles of strewn vegetables, smoke from public minibuses a feet from the sidewalk that doubles as meat/veg stall) are rapidly being replaced by hypermarkets.
There are of course, food hawkers and kiosks around town so they're quite easily reachable. But it's similar to the US where there are delis and fast food restaurants within short distances.
Back to fridge matters, capacity is important. It's one of the main selling points in fridge marketing. Manufacturers should be aware of this consumer habit, and provide a solution. Let the consumers know good (capacity) design actually saves money.
There's room for improvement on the consumption end, too, as 30 percent of food never makes it into a human stomach; in the developed world, we let produce slowly rot in the backs of our fridges...
This actually got me thinking. As I'm sure many of you have experienced often, buying things and stuff them in the fridge only to find it as the source of that barf smell in the fridge, rotten and oozing stuff. Instead of making bigger (deeper) fridges, why not make fridges w i d e r ?
With wider and shallower (around 1 foot deep) fridges -- with perhaps 3 to 4 doors, lined up sideways, preferrably at eye level -- foodstuff can be stored at a maximum two or three deep, making it easier to see and reach.
I know it will take up space width-wise, but it will save in terms of depth. More doors than regular fridges are needed,so that less cooling energy is wasted when door is opened. One can have a section for drinks, and others for vegetables & fruits, packaged foods, etc.
I also know it's not for everyone, apartment dwellers might not have enough space for this. But with the right marketing strategy, this may appeal to many middle-class families and McMansioners. With money saved with much more food actually eaten than being let to rot, the thing practically pays for itself!! [cue infomercial jingle]
using geothermal energy extraction is just mooching little heat from the skin. Eruptions by supervolcanoes happen from deep down and made worse with small or blocked "spouts".
To "defuse" volcanoes you'd have to drill large tunnels into their magma cores so the magma can be channeled out instead of bulging like week-old carbuncle.
The article questions why Google doesn't really pursue the use of Sidetab layout. I think the answer is because it's stupid. It takes up so much screen estate no matter how few tabs you have open. Looking at it, it almost feels like looking at Windows' folder view with common tasks to the left.
sorry for totally OOT reply, but why do people name their porn folders like that? I keep my private files on a folder named "temp" and goes 3-4 levels deep.
The lack of noscript in chrome/chromium is a dealbreaker for me. Although I've heard some attempts at creating noscript-like features on Chrome, you can't possibly expect a browser by google to include googlead-blocking feature.
Also, I <HATE> the top location of tabs for two things; 1. You have to _look_ higher from the page you're currently browsing, as opposed to right above it, 2. You have to _click_ further up to switch between tabs. I know there's cmd+1/2/3 or ctrl+tab but sometimes it's faster to just drag n click.
Thanks for the info on water vapor being responsible for 76% of greenhouse effect.
But a question arises, how much of sun ray is being deflected back by clouds? If the clouds keep out more energy than it keeps in, then this is good news. As for electricity, surely you have heard of solar power? Obviously not around the area where they're making clouds but this venture/project/experiment should not be brushed off before weighing the cost/benefit.
There is no bad publicity. Especially for this author's IP. I didn't know this book, and now I'm curious about it after reading that the book inspired "Blade Runner". The estate holder, from the looks of it, seems cautious and courteous enough not to provoke too much.
"It's not lost on the people who are somewhat familiar with this novel."
i think it's less of a lock in and more of a synergy.
Lock-ins lock you to one device and for enhancement/upgrade you have to buy only from the same manufacturer. With one-account-fits-all approach, you can get similar experience and/or share information (movies/pics/data/pr0n) across different devices.
The Europa lander did go up there, landed and took some video for a few second until some kind of mecha broke it. And that's the last we heard from it.
in related news, a blind person was killed Tuesday night with two bullet wounds on his head. Watts Witham, 32, was found dead near a suspected pirated CD factory. His guide dog, Serpico, apparently was guiding him for an evening stroll when it sniffed the pirated CD chemicals emanating out of the factory. Unbeknownst to Mr. Witham, Serpico followed the scent and as the pirates found out of Mr. Witham's presence, they murdered him and dumped his body nearby.
This was the second incident after an Anonymous Coward suggested on an internet forum that "we can do both" train dogs as sniffing agents and guide dogs.
my company is in print media business and we have been using soy-based toner on several of our printer(machine)s for several years now. Quality is on par with laserjets..
more info, risograph on wiki. google risograph for the printer devices.. I'm not endorsing this brand, it's just what we use here at work.
The BBC is quoting doctors as saying that this has been around for a week. If people in Mexico City are expressing symptoms, you can bet it's around the world now, by people carrying it during its incubation period. I live in London, and I bet you a tenner that someone, somewhere in this city has this right now.

yeah, it's a shitty subject really

Your comment, Sir, is Underrated by 64 points.
"It's not lost on the people who are somewhat familiar with this novel."
^ now THIS is good, subtle marketing.
If this goes to court, Google would better win, or else we'll be treated to a headline "Google pays Dick wads".
