Comment Re:Surprisingly complex (Score 1) 44

That was my first reaction too. After reading the article, I came away with a different opinion. Apparently there are lots of cats involved, you must be able to read palms, and counting rings in whale teeth is also involved. I won't get into all of the complexity, but I had no idea we were still thatching heat-shields.

Comment Re:Mixed-handedness (Score 1) 260

I am right-hand dominant, but I do some things left-handed. It started with playing hockey as a child. I just naturally hold the stick left handed. This turned into putting left-handed which I do equally as well right-handed. I use driving clubs right-handed only though. I can sweep with a broom equally with each handedness. I'm mostly right-hand dominant with a lacrosse stick but not completely. I will swing a baseball bat standing on the right-handed side but my hands naturally grab the bat in the "incorrect" position. I bat horribly with that hand position, so I ALWAYS have to consciously correct my hand position.

That's about it I think.

Submission + - How is everyone doing after the GoDaddy exodus? 1

BenFenner writes: It has been a little over a year since GoDaddy came out in support of SOPA and there was a (mass?) exodus of site registrations to alternative domain name hosts. I've gone through the old articles and found the recommended hosts, and was wondering how everyone is faring these days with their chosen domain name registrars and/or data hosts?

Here is the list of alternative recommendations I compiled from perusing the earlier article comments:

Comment The redundant department of redundency called. (Score 2) 24

This new, injectable sponge is incredibly useful because not only can it be filled with drugs that then are slowly released, it also has a memory and can be collapsed down to a tiny fraction of its original size.

Makes me wonder what other kind of sponges are out there that can't hold liquid, can't collapse, and don't remember their shape. O_o

Comment Re:Must past this test (Score 1) 508

A much more likely scenario is that the self driving cars prove statistically to be safer than human driven cars. At that point expect legislation to ban humans from driving.

Can you explain why you think this is the more likely scenario taking into consideration that modern cars are statistically safer than previous generations (go back far enough and the differences are enormous) yet no US law I'm aware of has ever limited my ability to purchase and drive an older car and drive it legally on the road no matter how unsafe it may be compared to contemporary vehicles and regulations?

I've been working with a pretty vertical resolution saving setup for Firefox for a while now. It is the program title bar, the menu bar, and the tabs (only if you need them). You might give it a try.

Welcome to 1997 and the AC Propulsion T-Zero.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AC_Propulsion_tzero

They even created an algorithm for the trailer steering so the yolk could be very short but yet stay stable on the highway, and it would stay directly behind the car when reversing which make parking a breeze. (AC Propulsion does the tech for the Tesla products, and other hybrid or full electrics we all know.)

I wouls say you could simply disable text messages (entirely!) at the provider level.
But then you get this shit in the mail:

That's right dick-heads. I disabled text messages. All of them. Even the ones from you. It took me three months of calling, but I finally did it. You think I want your spam mail in my mail box?!
