This reminds me of the late 90s, when the fastest connection was a 28.8 or 56k modem, and your Internet time often wasn't unlimited. IMDb used to offer their entire database for download, and there was a Grep-based search tool that you could use to access the entries offline, on your computer. I don't remember offhand…

I need something like this for my brain, so I can hit rewind and remember the answer to the question, "WHY DID I COME IN THIS ROOM?"

I'm happy to say that the Adobe Air version of TweetDeck still works! At least, as of this writing.

But if the spores are all killed, no enterotoxins can be produced in the first place. From Wikipedia:

This is very true. I have a scanner that does really nice scans of documents and images, but the film negative scanner attachment on it makes mediocre scans at best, so I don't use it anymore. If I want digital copies of negatives, I'll bring them in to the local photo developer — even the pharmacy does good quality…

I had to go to the Google machine, as, despite being a lifelong rice-eater, I've never heard of this. I've certainly broken that rule about reheating (and even leaving at room temperature for an hour or more) scores of times, with no ill effects.

I do occasionally sweat at night, but the problem isn't really in my armpits, so that sort of sweating is what helps regulate my body temperature. I'd never heard of Sweatblock before reading this article's comments, but it's not really anything I feel like I want or need anyway.

Agreed completely on the staying power of deodorants vs. merely rubbing your pits with alcohol in the morning — the latter will only kill what's there at the moment, the former is formulated to keep deodorizing as the day goes on. To suggest otherwise seems silly to me.

Coincidentally, just moments ago I finished washing dishes where the final step was cleaning the copper bottom of my stainless steel pot. I use salt and white vinegar. It changes the copper from a dark brown to a more metallic "coppery" color. Vinegar is a lot cheaper than ketchup, but I'll bet is just as effective,…

Yeah, this article lost me at the "vodka tastes like nothing" argument. Multiple filtration of the alcohol will remove a lot of the esters and fusel oils, leaving behind a more tasteless, smoother vodka. But I'd say the majority of the vodka that is consumed definitely does not "taste like nothing."

I think even more crucial than any of these points is that in order to get many promotions, you have to put yourself on the line. And that's more than merely asking for a higher profile position with the company. You have to go in there armed with reasons, then — and this is the really important part — be willing to…

How have I not heard of Sugru before? I've got to get some of that stuff!

Sounds like that's what MakeMKV can do. If it can rip a DVD to an MKV file, then why wouldn't it do that for your ripped contents of a DVD? I've never used the program myself, but you should just be able to point it at the parent folder and let 'er rip. If that doesn't work, get a program that will mount a folder as a…

Hey, uh, i09? After reading this article, it's obvious you don't employ a copy editor, but it might not be a bad idea, especially when the article is science-related. Even a proofreader would help — I'll offer my services for 200 bucks an hour. ;-)

Holy crap, indeed. I don't know what it is, but that trailer tapped into some primal adolescent emotions... I feel like I did when I was a kid and first saw the trailer for The Empire Strikes Back. (Okay, maybe not *quite* that strongly, but close.) Don't disappoint don't disappoint don't disappoint...

Apparently not. This was not well written
