Comment Re:"the faster it will seem" ? (Score 1) 570

The lack of noscript in chrome/chromium is a dealbreaker for me. Although I've heard some attempts at creating noscript-like features on Chrome, you can't possibly expect a browser by google to include googlead-blocking feature.

Also, I <HATE> the top location of tabs for two things; 1. You have to _look_ higher from the page you're currently browsing, as opposed to right above it, 2. You have to _click_ further up to switch between tabs. I know there's cmd+1/2/3 or ctrl+tab but sometimes it's faster to just drag n click.

Thanks for the info on water vapor being responsible for 76% of greenhouse effect.

But a question arises, how much of sun ray is being deflected back by clouds? If the clouds keep out more energy than it keeps in, then this is good news.
As for electricity, surely you have heard of solar power? Obviously not around the area where they're making clouds but this venture/project/experiment should not be brushed off before weighing the cost/benefit.

There is no bad publicity. Especially for this author's IP. I didn't know this book, and now I'm curious about it after reading that the book inspired "Blade Runner". The estate holder, from the looks of it, seems cautious and courteous enough not to provoke too much.

"It's not lost on the people who are somewhat familiar with this novel."

^ now THIS is good, subtle marketing.

in related news,
a blind person was killed Tuesday night with two bullet wounds on his head. Watts Witham, 32, was found dead near a suspected pirated CD factory. His guide dog, Serpico, apparently was guiding him for an evening stroll when it sniffed the pirated CD chemicals emanating out of the factory. Unbeknownst to Mr. Witham, Serpico followed the scent and as the pirates found out of Mr. Witham's presence, they murdered him and dumped his body nearby.

This was the second incident after an Anonymous Coward suggested on an internet forum that "we can do both" train dogs as sniffing agents and guide dogs.

The BBC is quoting doctors as saying that this has been around for a week. If people in Mexico City are expressing symptoms, you can bet it's around the world now, by people carrying it during its incubation period. I live in London, and I bet you a tenner that someone, somewhere in this city has this right now.
