My wife uses Groupon all the time and so by extension I use Groupons. I hate them for precisely the GPs reason. Retailers ask if you are using a Groupon. If you say yes you almost always get substandard treatment/products. The companies who use Groupon overextend themselves and then hire temps or decrease quality to cover for their mistake. It's bad for businesses and bad for customers. The only one it's good for is Groupon.

Earth May Once Had Two Moons->

Submitted by AaronW
AaronW writes "According to a story at space.com, Earth may once have had two moons. The smaller moon, estimated to be 750 miles (1200km) wide and only 4% of the mass of the larger moon, crashed into the far side of the larger moon which caused the features we see today on the moon. The surface of the far side of the moon is quite different than the side facing the earth, having a different composition and a much rougher terrain."

Not sure if you are trolling but, No, LEDs are not capable of receiving data or acting as inputs. In the summary they used the example of streaming video where of course the monitor doesn't need to send and data back. The summary said they use a simple photo diode to receive. Light Emitting Diodes and Photo Diodes are 2 separate distinct things.

I agree with AC how about something like first letter last letter of the domain

facebook becomes --> fd0nT+A2eM3bR0!k
or if you really want to get fancy
*f*aceboo*k*.co*m* becomes --> kd0nT+A2eM3bR0!fm

then you know how to generate your passwords but if the bad guy that gets one pw is still in the dark about your system.
Now if he gets 2 different passwords you are likely exposed.

Call me super spoiled. I have 4 monitors at work & home. Both setups have a 30" Samsung in the center. The rest are older smaller monitors scrounged from wherever i could find them. I can't even imagine going back to 2 monitors. I am a developer.

Main 30" monitor. - Dev code GUI
2nd monitor - email
3rd monitor main web research / dev program output while coding
4th live router status / stock widgets / pandora / onenote
