I remember when 60 minutes weren't lying media whores. You really think "forbes" would like about this?

After a few years of increased use of chrome, I have found myself going back to firefox over the course of the last year. The chrome startup time (with lots of tabs) is what drives my preference for firefox. I used to use chrome for debugging javascript, but even that is not so important with recent updates to the firefox debugger.

Get a trumpet, learn to play a very loud note.

1) organic chemistry is part logic, part memory work
2) this is something that med students should be able to handle
3) I am not particularly good at memory related courses, but because I could hack away at it using the logic of reactions mechanisms I did suprisingly well
4) disclosure: phys chem was my major

If you want to be a farkin doctor, you should be able to handle organic chemistry. This article strikes me as whinging.

And that's why, as much as I like the nexus phones otherwise, I won't be buying a nexus phone. I want 64GB min, or 32GB and an external storage slot. I'm waiting for fairphone to arrive in North America right now.

Insanely you have to send your email address to JohnMcAfee(tm) in clear text to register for further updates. I'm sure no one will be listening to that end point.

No it won't, because it's still an environmental nightmare. Carbon has to be converte3d to a stable form for any viable, long term form of sequestration. How much you wanna bet that this is a study that is funded by the fracking industry.

One thing annoys me, on my otherwise excellent LG 37" 720p LCD screen, and that's the fact that it only has one HDMI port. This has caused me some grief over the years when experimenting with media computers running xbmc. Okay, one other complaint is that the PVR I have comes up in 480i mode by default, but the screen doesn't support 480i so I have to jump through a few hoops to configure it for 720p.

Q: Why did you not support the Ubuntu Edge Smartphone campaign, Alex

Without question my favourite application of SciFi is written, since so much is destroyed by Hollywood. No doubt there have been some great SciFi films over the years, in the early 70s 2001 was one of my great inspirations and Moon springs to mind as a recent perfect adaptation. But short SciFi is absolutely my favourite way to consume the genre. Get and read the Science Fiction Hall of Fame Vol. 1 for some great short story and novella forms in some of the best SciFi from the golden era. Run, don't walk, you chubby little nerds and buy this collection, you know you want to.

This is why I will (sadly) never buy one of these.

My car uses between 4 and 10 L/100km depending on how I am driving.

Is a fucking oxymoron. Every piece of hardware they have ever produced has been complete shit, worse even than their OS.

I managed to find some files from 1991 on one of my old file servers. No doubt if I also searched archives (tarballs, zip files, etc) I would find something older,

this also happens to be a version of the GPL from June 1991. Kinda cool that.
