Somewhat people think that we will be around for millons of years, while our entire civilization only lasted a few thousand. Odds that something "bad" happens are not nil, the planet history is full of events that could end mankind or at least human civilization as we know it. A supervolcano, a glacial age, big…

Science fiction did a good work making a few moons very memorable, like 2010 with Europe, the Sirens of Titan, or the Hyperion Cantos (even if is not about the moon the name)
Better alternative: play lotto. In one of those multiverses, you are a millonaire now. Enjoy!
The problem is the photo, or the whole bar, the notifications box AND the photo? Putting a blank photo will take just one of the factors, and will put also that blank photo in everything you do in g+.
Never underestimate the bandwidth of a station wagon full of tapes hurtling down the highway. —Tanenbaum, Andrew S.
Grass? Rocks? Try to install custom rom without being careful and you will feel like touching bricks.
Zooming is one of the (subjectvely) few really useful compiz plugins for Linux. Pressing the windows key and rolling the mouse wheel does good closeups, for any app. Other nice things you can do since last millenium in Linux is to have a desktop bigger than the screen, moving to the next virtual desktop going to the…

The problem is not the amount, is the rythm. Carbs take priority over whatever else you eat in order to generate energy. But if no carbs at all, and not starving (because all the other, very low caloric food you eat late), the body starts to burn fat.
No matter if you ate cakes, lard, pure sugar, or whatever. The calories count is the key there.
In related news,the FBI detection routine for that trojan can't distinguish between it and Tor.
Most of the best methods to move an asteroid that could hit us takes time, even years for big enough ones.
Speaking of magic potions, this one should be listed too
Think in a ship, you know, hull, engines, air inside, crew, not made mostly of deep vacuum, Now put that of the size of a solar system. Think in ringworld or a dyson sphere mass, and put them as something solid, not just a shell with a sun in the middle. If is not already a black hole would have a gravity pull big…
