SRWare Iron is a solution to your Chrome privacy concerns - http://www.srware.net/en/software_srware_iron.php

It's a build of Chrome without all the privacy-infringing "features."

I've been waiting for years for someone to get Compositing working on >2 monitors. Unfortunately, all of the solutions mentioned involving Compiz are off-limits to anyone with more than two monitors.

But fishing line is a big problem in protecting marine animals; it seems like intentionally stranding hundreds of yards of the stuff might have some negative impacts on the surrounding aquatic life.

Their site states "300 degrees" (F?).

Ironically, they also sell a safe into which you can put your super-durable DVDs. They list as one of the justifications:
"Fire. The DVD can withstand temperatures as high as 300 degrees. Unless you can make sure that your house doesn't burn down at more than 300 degrees, you need the DVD Vault."

Agreed. I was shocked they were going to sequence that many genomes. The article is also tagged "gene expression." This research has nothing to do with sequencing or gene expression analysis; just analyzing one-nucleotide mutations in the genome.

"Every man speaks of public opinion and means by public opinion, public opinion minus his opnion. Every man makes his contribution negative under the erroneous impression the the next man's contribution is positive. Every man surrenders his fancy to a general tone which is itself a surrender." G.K. Chesterton.

Actually, that's how this keyboard works. They have the rubber dome, just like MOST other keyboards, with a carbon contact on the bottom. This allows varying degrees of current to flow through when the key is entirely depressed (but none before the dome has buckled). As more of the surface of the carbon plate comes in contact with the underlying sensors, the pressure value goes up.

A primitive write-up of the Safelock system is available here - complete with ROC curve and some performance metrics. I've included a little more detail about the four keystroke attributes we measured as well as a surface-level explanation of the algorithm

We had a >95% True Positive rate (with a >99% True Negative. I can dig up the ROC curve if you really care...). Basically, the idea is to find and measure typing attributes that are keyboard/mood/alchohol level-agnostic. We're still working on getting funding for testing the algorithm after a few drinks, though.

The keyboard still has the rubber domes, just like all the others.
