Just a side note, a common preservative Sodium(Natrium) Benzoate (NaC6H5CO2) used in most foodstuff is long known to cause alterations in human DNA. For example, almost all brands of ketchups use this preservative.

It was supposed to end in the year 2029. The year mankind relinquish its power on this earth and give way to new robotic overlords.


But then he had to (finger quotes) "come clean" and tell the wife about the affair. Needless to say, he'll NOT be back and now we're stuck here longer to fight for Zion. Now let's just hope The One doesn't die prematurely, like blown to pieces trying to save people on a speeding bus.

how are they - scratch that, we - finding out about this just now? and do the iDevices still able to report back their location even when GPS is turned off? Curious.

Well whaddaya know.. I'm actually currently living in Indonesia. My shopping habit is pretty much similar to when I was living back in the US. I still do grocery run about once or twice a week, and inevitably, some food bought last week become hidden in the back corner of the fridge. Right now I just remembered there is a Feta cheese sitting in my fridge, most likely already expired. I usually remember to use it when I'm at work (like now), but once I get home I totally forget about it. If I just catch a glimpse of it when I peek in my fridge, surely the chance of me using it would be greater.

Where I live, we have no 'round-the-corner market where you can just pick up things to cook for tonight. In fact, many traditional market (with its heel-deep wet dirt, piles of strewn vegetables, smoke from public minibuses a feet from the sidewalk that doubles as meat/veg stall) are rapidly being replaced by hypermarkets.
There are of course, food hawkers and kiosks around town so they're quite easily reachable. But it's similar to the US where there are delis and fast food restaurants within short distances.

Back to fridge matters, capacity is important. It's one of the main selling points in fridge marketing. Manufacturers should be aware of this consumer habit, and provide a solution. Let the consumers know good (capacity) design actually saves money.

There's room for improvement on the consumption end, too, as 30 percent of food never makes it into a human stomach; in the developed world, we let produce slowly rot in the backs of our fridges...

This actually got me thinking. As I'm sure many of you have experienced often, buying things and stuff them in the fridge only to find it as the source of that barf smell in the fridge, rotten and oozing stuff. Instead of making bigger (deeper) fridges, why not make fridges w i d e r ?

With wider and shallower (around 1 foot deep) fridges -- with perhaps 3 to 4 doors, lined up sideways, preferrably at eye level -- foodstuff can be stored at a maximum two or three deep, making it easier to see and reach. I know it will take up space width-wise, but it will save in terms of depth. More doors than regular fridges are needed ,so that less cooling energy is wasted when door is opened. One can have a section for drinks, and others for vegetables & fruits, packaged foods, etc.

I also know it's not for everyone, apartment dwellers might not have enough space for this. But with the right marketing strategy, this may appeal to many middle-class families and McMansioners. With money saved with much more food actually eaten than being let to rot, the thing practically pays for itself!! [cue infomercial jingle]

using geothermal energy extraction is just mooching little heat from the skin. Eruptions by supervolcanoes happen from deep down and made worse with small or blocked "spouts". To "defuse" volcanoes you'd have to drill large tunnels into their magma cores so the magma can be channeled out instead of bulging like week-old carbuncle.

The article questions why Google doesn't really pursue the use of Sidetab layout. I think the answer is because it's stupid. It takes up so much screen estate no matter how few tabs you have open. Looking at it, it almost feels like looking at Windows' folder view with common tasks to the left.

sorry for totally OOT reply, but why do people name their porn folders like that? I keep my private files on a folder named "temp" and goes 3-4 levels deep.

The lack of noscript in chrome/chromium is a dealbreaker for me. Although I've heard some attempts at creating noscript-like features on Chrome, you can't possibly expect a browser by google to include googlead-blocking feature.

Also, I <HATE> the top location of tabs for two things; 1. You have to _look_ higher from the page you're currently browsing, as opposed to right above it, 2. You have to _click_ further up to switch between tabs. I know there's cmd+1/2/3 or ctrl+tab but sometimes it's faster to just drag n click.

Thanks for the info on water vapor being responsible for 76% of greenhouse effect.

But a question arises, how much of sun ray is being deflected back by clouds? If the clouds keep out more energy than it keeps in, then this is good news.
As for electricity, surely you have heard of solar power? Obviously not around the area where they're making clouds but this venture/project/experiment should not be brushed off before weighing the cost/benefit.

yeah, it's a shitty subject really
