netflix streams in 5.1 (well, most titles. there's a few in stereo, and a few without a subwoofer)

Sort of, and by that I mean not on Windows 7. From the Netflix faq, and my own personal struggle,

"5.1 surround sound is not currently supported while streaming on a computer using Microsoft Silverlight or HTML5. However, it is supported in the Netflix app for Windows 8 and Windows 10. To check if your device supports 5.1 audio, go to any Netflix original to see if there is a 5.1 audio option. If not, your device may not support this feature, or it may need to be turned on. For assistance enabling this feature, visit How do I adjust subtitles, captions and alternate audio on my device?"

I was thrilled when the xfinity x1 cable box started supporting a Netflix app which supports surround sound.

Submission + - Farewell to the South Pole dome (scienceblog.com) 1

Julie188 writes: After more than three decades of service to researchers and staff stationed at the bottom of the world, the dome at the Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station was deconstructed this austral summer. Designed and constructed by the Seabees--the construction battalions of the U.S. Navy--in the early 1970s, the dome's geodesic design provided a unique solution to the challenges posed to engineers trying to build structures at the South Pole. The dome is being returned to southern California where it will be held in storage. It could possibly be trotted out as an exhibit in a new U.S. Navy Seabees museum.
