  1. Ripe for Biohackery... on No Evidence of Aloe Vera Found in the Aloe Vera at Wal-Mart, CVS (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 2

    By that I mean simply grow your own. :) Aloe is a hardy plant and is perfectly content for you to leave it alone with just a bit of water now and then. It is also happy to give up a branch/frond/whateveryoucallit whenever you need a bit of the sap to soothe a burn. ~ T

  2. In school on 30 Years Since The Challenger Disaster: Where Were You? (space.com) · · Score: 2

    5th grade. One of the students from an adjacent classroom ran in and breathlessly announced that the shuttle had blown up. Instant silence. My teacher walked to the other 5th grade classroom to confer with the teacher there, then they opened the partition between the two classrooms and wheeled in the TV-and-VCR-on-a-cart so we could all watch the news together. I just remember feeling like I had been kicked in the gut.

  4. Re:bad summary on POV-Ray Is Now FLOSS · · Score: 1

    I've run it in MS-DOS many times. Got a nice rendering of The Ringworld system, complete with background stars and shadow squares. The last time was on a Vista machine. A NEW Vista machine, I made some springs or some such thing. Haven't been back since.

    Just curious -- where did your Ringworld scene code come from? I wrote one up back in the mid-90's that had what you describe. ~ Terrin

    If only I had mod points. Well played, sir.

  8. Wheel of Fish! on Miscalculation Invalidates LHC Safety Assurances · · Score: 1

    Yes, yes, but what is it if I look inside the box?

    You'll find ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. STUPID!

    And just when I have no mod points to shine a spotlight on this...
