It looks nice, and is rather interesting and I'm downloading to see but it really bothered me that all the text was crammed into the centre. The easiest part of the page to read is the Tags section, unfortunately. Wouldn't it be nicer to widen the central column and make the font larger?

Comment Re:Proof of that Statement? (Score 1) 312

Anonymous Cowardon bullshits again. The GPL requires that copyright notices not be modified. Proof from the horse's mouth..

You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's
source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you
conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate
copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the
notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty;
and give any other recipients of the Program a copy of this License
along with the Program.

If the modified program normally reads commands interactively
        when run, you must cause it, when started running for such
        interactive use in the most ordinary way, to print or display an
        announcement including an appropriate copyright notice and a
        notice that there is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide
        a warranty) and that users may redistribute the program under
        these conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of this
        License

The FSF has also made clear that you must preserve copyright notices of previous authors.

Comment Re:13? Didn't they read Harry Potter? (Score 4, Funny) 120

Shit! You're right! As a matter of fact, the sum of the letters in the names of the three Shuttles still operational is 26 which is 2 times 13. If you take that two and multiply it by the difference in the number of letters between the Endeavour (9) and the number of people who will be on the ISS now (13) you get 8 which is the number of letters in the name 'Columbia'. We're all doomed.

Submission + - Blimps monitor crowds at sporting events (newsweek.com)

Death Metal writes: "At first glance, there was nothing special about the blimp floating high above the cars and crowd at this year's Indy 500 on Memorial Day weekend. Like most airships, it acted as an advertising vehicle; this time for the Fisher House, a charity focused on helping injured veterans and their families. But the real promo should have been for the blimp's creator, Raytheon, the security company best known for its weapons systems. Hidden inside the 55-foot-long white balloon was a powerful surveillance camera adapted from the technology Raytheon provides the U.S. military. Essentially an unmanned drone, the blimp transmitted detailed images to the race's security officers and to Indiana police."
