    OK, mod me flamebait if you like, but google naziness is actually one of my pet ./ peeves. Electrons are recycleable! It's not like explaining the concept in a few lines is going to kill trees or something. Come on!

    Great advice, except typing "PGO" into google is completely useless.

    1: PGO is the leading motorcycle,ATV,buggy and scooter manufacturer ...

    2: Home - Office of the Public Guardian

    3: PGO Scooters - 50cc, 125cc and 250cc scooters ordered direct from ...

    4: PG&O - Precision Glass and Optics

    5: Welcome to the PGO Automobiles UK

    6: Pennsylvannia Golf Course Owners Association - PGO.

    7: etc.

    If you're going to be a google-nazi, at least test run your queries first.

    >Firefox with >150 tabs (using Tree Style Tabs for nesting);

    Don't you just love it when your friends borrow your computer to check their facebook in a new firefox window which they neglect to close. Later you close your 150 tab firefox window, safe in the knowledge that firefox will remember all this state. However, this facebook window is still around on one of your virtual desktops so when you shut down your computer all your 150+ tabs are lost. Happened to me more than once.

    CF was a hoax spread by the science illiterate and greedy media.

    Pons & Fleischman were deluded. Scientists were unimpressed then. They still are.

    LENR-CANR? Research articles? Yawn. Wake me up when a real journal publishes anything on "LENR."
