Fast enough for torrents?

That's the setup I have right now. You don't have to have it as high as in the image. If your main screen is a laptop like mine, you won't even need to mount the 2nd monitor to the wall. This makes the setup easier to implement. What I like most about this setup is that windows do not break across two screens, which…

It's not THAT expensive. There are huge waste costs associated with cooking for 1. And the service is tailored for cities like NYC where groceries are pretty darn expensive. If you did 14 meals per week, at an average of $10 per plate, then it really isn't that expensive. It all depends on your situation.

Is that a NIM module underneath the Macbook Pro? Physicist? :-)

Will the Lifehacker staff teach us how to get free drinks at the bar? :-P

3D printing pen? Genius marketing! Selling a modified hot glue gun for lots of $ by combing the hype of 3D printing and Kickstarter.

I thought they discovered P-violation in nuclear/strong interactions! Now THAT would have been big news. Alas....

Thanks for sharing. Are you saying the only difference has been the improved quality (i take it to mean increased moisture levels) of your hair? Did you notice anything else? As I said in my original comment, I cut mine very often so maybe it won't matter for me.

Then I demand Tiny Spocks right now!

I hadn't read the older one or heard of the discovery documentary so I am *VERY* appreciative of this article by George.

The research you guys do at io9 is amazing. Great article. I thoroughly enjoyed reading that. Great job!

Sure they will be. Just bus-sized muffins! More goodness to go around!

I don't know why but I kept reading: "Kittens Vs. Tiny Spock". That's why I clicked on the link and it was only a quarter way into the video did I realize it was "sock".

Thank you! Another response to my question provided a reasonable mechanism of how these chemicals—which are indeed harmful when consumed in large quantities orally—could possibly enter via the scalp or pores of our skin. However, to establish it as a problem scientifically, one also needs to provide epidemiological…

Thanks! If it's really the scalp then I can see how that can be problem. I've tried using sulfide-free stuff of my mum, but I'm just so use to the bubbles! *brain washed*

Why are sulfides and ammonia bad for your hair (and skin) if it's not ingested? I want to hear something beyond: "chemicals are bad, mmmkay....". I cut my hair every 4-5 weeks, so that no same section of hair reminds on my head for more than 2 months. Do I need to worry about the damage?

Thanks for all the advice. It's not that I don't trust the Google servers and think I can do it better, but it's more than I just don't see myself being always so connected to the internet. Maybe because I've lived in more "backwards" countries so far. Also, I do occasionally like to reply to emails on the plane (and…

Huh? No. I didn't get a tax write-off! I was a newbie in France and hardly knew the language, let alone the tax system. How does one do this in the US?

I would pay a lot for these! I don't abuse alcohol, but do consume it to the point where I am beyond the legal limit for driving. And unfortunately I tend to live in cities with bad public transport in the evenings (or just bad full stop) and where cabs are expensive. I have a DUI from 11 years ago when I was 17,…

You actually make a very good point. Protons, electrons and gammas in cosmic rays can transmute the stable elements in an asteroid to radioactive ones. Some of these can indeed be very long lived. However, the cosmic ray flux, cross-section (or probabilities) of this is very small. The easiest to know that this isn't…
