  1. Re: I don't know if I'd agree.... on Former Director of the ISS Division At NASA Talks About Science Behind 'Elysium' · · Score: 1

    Examining the themes of the novel is hardly cherry-picking..

  2. They took my vertical tabs! on No Tab Relocation Coming For Chrome · · Score: 1

    Typing "about:flags" in Chrome used to show an experimental option that placed tabs vertically on the side of the browser. That option (and my vertical tabs) mysteriously disappeared a few days ago after I'd been using it for many months. I'm guessing this might have something to do with it. It's frustrating, to say the least.

  3. Re:Wrong! on Pittsburgh To Tax Students · · Score: 1

    Ravenstahl was repeatedly asked to come talk to Pitt students before the election. He agreed, but then canceled at the last minute. Why? Because he proposed this tax less than a week before elections.

  4. Re:Other uses for this technology on Google Begins Blurring Faces In Street View · · Score: 1, Informative

    Google has already added a face search feature to image search. It's not too shabby either. I'm sure they're looking into other options as well.

  5. Re:LED lighting on Questions Arising On Mercury In Compact Fluorescents · · Score: 0

    But honestly, this is America, and we are Consumers. Either the corporations will devise a plan to make us dispose of perfectly good LED bulbs, or we will figure out a way ourselves. Unfortunately, you underestimate the power of American wastefulness.

  6. Re:Huh? on AOL Opens Up the AIM Instant Messaging Network · · Score: 0

    I saw that and my heart dropped. I doubt that pidgin will include ads, but it's scary that it's even a possibility. Lack of ads was the main reason I switched to a third party client.

  7. Re:Mosquitos on Did Insects Kill the Dinosaurs? · · Score: 2, Funny

    You must remember that back then, mosquitos were the size of a house. Slapping them would actually involve wrestling them down first.

  8. Did someone say.. on Fudan Intelligent Robot Learns To Fit In · · Score: 0

    A robot maid with a TV screen.. did someone say FLCL?

  9. Cover up on Is SETI Worth It? · · Score: 0

    SETI isn't worth it because the government hiding from the public the fact that they already know aliens exist. The world will never know that we are in contact with aliens because it would cause so many problems in society. SETI is an expensive cover up!

  10. Pictures without doodling on Picture Passwords More Secure than Text · · Score: 0

    I've seen other instances of picture passwords, but instead of doodling on them, a series of points were clicked on the picture. The user would have to remember the areas clicked and the order in which they were selected. This seems faster, more secure and less prone to error than drawing a picture just to log in to something.

  11. A bit of a let down.. on First Company Logo Visible From Space · · Score: 0

    When I first read the headline, I got excited to see orbiting billboards in the night sky! I guess I interpreted it wrong..

  12. If all companies enforced this.. on Juniper Sues Message Board Posters · · Score: 0

    Microsoft would have a field day.

  13. Of course.. on Gaming Damages Violence Inhibitions · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Fox News jumps on a chance to give us gamers some negative publicity. http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,178130,00.html
