Comment Not really - they skipped IE support everywhere (Score 2) 273

Here's an example of what they are telling their customers:

IE is becoming a really outdated browser - we can't offer full support for IE, though we do try our best to offer that. IE uses different syntax for CSS than many other browsers, and generally causes problems. It will be nice when everyone stops using it!

Thanks for using 4ormat, Stefan

So it implies that IE manages to display most of their content, but thet don't really bother fixing IE-related problems.

Comment Bing and DDG suck (Score 1) 405

I wrote a short story called "It's hard living in Jerusalem during the winter".
Search engines, can you please help people find it?

Google: First result.
Bing: Not found - at least not in the first 250 results. Searching with quotes does help though.
DuckDuckGo: Miserable failure - even quotes don't help - and it IS supposed to use other search engines.

So either Bing and DDG suck, or they just hate me personally. Either way, I'm not going to use any of them.

Submission + - Blasting Tumors With Radioactive Radiation From Th (google.com)

Hemi Rodner writes: "Israeli medical researchers say they have developed a new technique for blasting cancer tumours from the inside out which reduces the risk of the disease returning after treatment.
Unlike conventional radiation therapy, which bombards the body with gamma rays from outside, the alpha particles "diffuse inside the tumour, spreading further and further before disintegrating," a Tel Aviv University statement quoted Keisari as saying.
"Not only are cancerous cells more reliably destroyed, but in the majority of cases the body develops immunity against the return of the tumour," the statement said."

Comment I don't want Flash ads to be replaced w/ HTML5 ads (Score 1) 485

I don't like Flash (mostly because of its non-free nature), but paradoxically, I worry what would happen when it dies.

Currently, ALL the annoying ads are in Flash. So I just block Flash with FlashBlock (and click on the Flash objects that I want to see, which are usually embedded videos). That makes the web very tolerable for me.

What will I do when Flash dies, and everyone moves to HTML5 ads? Will it be easy to block them as well? I suspect it'll be much easier for publishers to make it hard-to-block ads, now when it's all in the HTML.

Comment That's disgusting (Score 2, Interesting) 207

I know that the exhaust of falafel oil does smell like falafel. So it means that the exhaust of this "biodiesel" will probably smell like fried chicken.

As a vegetarian, it really disgusts me... (I wonder, though, if this smell is better than regular diesel).

PS: I am disappointed that the article is so short.

Comment Stop fighting about Israel and help me find a GF (Score 0, Offtopic) 198

Instead of fighting about Israel, help me. I live in Israel but I can't find a girlfriend. I never had a serious relationship.

So.. is there any cute girl from here who would take me? I'm 34 years old.

Comment Yoffi. Now what? (Score 1) 439

I keep reading hear on wonderful advancements in the field of solar cells. Like the chick who made solar cells with a pizza oven (is she single, btw?).
But still nothing happens and I can't see people who really deploy solar cells on their roofs - mostly because it takes them 20 years to return the investment (and I think that they die shortly after that)

When is this going to be a reality?
Why is this taking so long?
