Comment Re:Firechrome (Score 1) 381

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.

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.

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.

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.
