Netflix allows you to share your login with multiple people with certain plans. You are limited only by how many concurrent devices are actively using it. Wonder if this skews the survey results at all?
I agree with the majority of the comments here. The discussion/comments section is very important. Also, being able to scroll quickly through the latest headlines is important...adding huge generic photos does not help read an article (yes, I know they can be turned off but should still have never been placed there at all). The new version, even with "classic" mode turned on, has a ton of wasted space on the sides of the center column. The current version is much easier to read and consume information quickly. Photos, unless representing tables or graphs, do not add any valuable information. The older look maybe is starting to look a little dated but at least the functionality is still there. It is a strain to read through the submissions on the beta.
Please keep the original look. I believe this is going down a slippery slope towards becoming a generic news aggregation site like any number out there. Keep going down this route and I'd worry that the next thing to go will be the "News for Nerds" moniker.
Mac users can use a program called 1Password to manage their passwords.
I use and love 1Password for Mac too. A Windows version is also now available. Linux, unfortunately, isn't, but can still be accessed from a Dropbox account.
I don't claim to understand how it works, but they show a simplified demonstration of the process on their website. (link also available in the summary)
The Liquipel version costs "only" $59.
Also with a booth at CES is HZO. It looks like they use a similar technology that allows electronic devices to last a few hours underwater rather than 30 minutes as with Liquipel. For most cases, 30 minutes would be plenty in the case of an accidental drop or splash. Also, Liquipel is available direct to the consumer rather than only offered at the manufacturing level. Would be nice to see a comparison with how technically the two technologies differ.
Our glorious leader was of course an internet expert, and was also an anonymous contributor to the ALL of the RFCs on the internet, shaping the wave of future for our generation and generations to come. He didn't want to "upsize" anyone with his vast contributions to computer science and technology, so in his humbleness contributed only anonymously, under several different identities.
Not only that, but our glorious leader was also a heavy contributor to the linux operating systems (and was in fact counsel to the NSA's own changes to the linux kernel, SELinux - known only to him and the NSA at the time as NKJLinux - Naenara-Kim Jong Linux).
I haven't had a chance to play around with Microsoft's "Deep Zoom" thing or Photosynth because I doubt either would work that well on my Powerbook G4 even if it was supported on pre-Intel Macs. But, Panoramio just released something called "look around" that does work on my computer. Google talks about it on its LatLong blog. In a way it reminds me of the Photosynth demo.
Good question. However, according to the University of Arizona's Phoenix Lander site, "The Robotic Arm Camera, built by the UA and Max Planck Institute,... will provide close-up, full-color images of the Martian surface..." I'm excited to start seeing those images come in.

I believe that Wikipedia's entry on reperfusion injury is slightly wrong. This is what I wrote on its discussion page:
The general concept [of reperfusion injury] is that the actual damage from the ischemia to the brain does not actually occur until oxygen is reintroduced. Ischemia causes an influx of calcium into the ischemic tissue which activates a protease that converts xanthine dehydrogenase to xanthine oxidase. Both these enzymes eventually lead to the production of uric acid, the purine catabolic product. Hypoxanthine is the ultimate breakdown product of ATP metabolism (ATP to ADP to AMP to IMP to hypoxanthine). When oxygen is reintroduced (as after an ischemic condition such as a stroke), the xanthine oxidase goes to work on the large amounts of hypoxanthine that accumulated. (The dehydrogenase is what normally is used in vivo and does not produce reactive oxygen species.) Superoxide and hydrogen peroxide are formed in large amounts and cause the tissue damage. The clinical implications of reperfusion injury are addressed in Lancet 344:934-936 (1994).
I found that some school computers block access to the keyboard layouts. If this is true for you, Dvorak Assistant is a free Windows program that allows you to toggle between Qwerty (or current layout) and Dvorak without administrative access or modifying system settings. Just be sure to toggle back to the default before exiting the program because otherwise the computer will be stuck with the Dvorak layout until this program is run again. Just search http://www.google.com/search?q=dvorak+assistant.

Sounds exactly like it. I use Square Cash all the time and it works great.
And it will be interesting to see what Bruce Schneier finally has to say about it: https://www.schneier.com/blog/...
