Firefox is absolutely fucked up now. Now it has a UI that's as bad as Chrome's (which is pretty damn bad!), but Firefox's performance and memory usage still suck, whereas Chrome's aren't as bad...

Ah yes, but Firefox has one great thing going for it, which is that it doesn't come with Flash pre-installed. So I use the chromebox hooked up to my TV to watch the latest Sia video, and I use my lappy with Firefox to surf blogs. Life is good.

Maybe Dark Energy equals Dark Matter times the speed of light squared. Just sayin'.

Any body that is sufficiently massive enough to pull itself into a reasonable facimile of a sphere, yet not massive enough to generate energy from fusion, is a planet, whether it orbits a star or not. And there's your missing "dark matter".

Catholicism has taught that the evolution and big bang theory are right in sunday school for ages now..

Maybe a modified version of those theories. For instance, the modern synthesis of descent with variation has no supernatural guidance, but the Catholic version does. The big bang theory indicates that time began to operate 13.7 billion years ago, the Catholic version insists that the words "cause" and "effect" had meaning prior to that.

Well, there will be one change at least, a Darwin fish on the Popemobile.

Microsoft is making more profit off Android than they are off their own phones.

Samsung is cool with that since they haven't challenged Microsoft. The bottom line of the cost-benefit analysis says go ahead and pay the Redmond tax, obviously. The offering from Google is free, and their own operating system never got any traction.

They simply allow other companies to take the expense and the risk, then buy them out.

Or in the case of Doublespace/Drivespace, they let Stac Electronics do all the heavy lifting, then just walk all over their patents.

Someday they'll figure out "Neanderthal" is a completely artificial distinction, like "White Aryan", and the scientific consensus will be that Neanderthals R Us.

Add fonts? You drop the .TTF in the Fonts folder. Done.

No worries, you will be able to get Stardock's Control10 for only $5

Tell the car you wanna see the Gateway arch, and it takes you to EAST St. Louis just like the Grimwalds...

In five years, Kay, the Beta Pictoris Exocomet family will be totally legit.

Captain Picard, the tanglon particle flux is down to seventy percent! The warp core must be jettisoned in thirty seconds!

Van Maanen's star is the closest white dwarf that's all by its lonesome, that's what the article meant.

Temperature/mass ratios are not the issue, the issue is that the structure of any galaxy we look at implies that the mass is not concentrated at the center and falls off with the square of the distance but rolls off along a kind of plateau to the suburbs of the galaxy before it starts to roll off, and dark matter is inferred from this.
