Good to hear he's got some passion for it. Guess I'll be keeping my fingers crossed just for Fox not to screw it up, then.

To be fair to Neil, he's already taken over Carl's heritage as a public speaker for science and space exploration. Choosing him to host the new series is a no brainer. Seth MacFarlane is the choice that worries me a bit (that, and Fox's involvement). Here's hoping..

Yeah, I know about PowerBoost. 15/3 are the "boosted" speeds, and I usually see better than those speeds in a test. Sustained transfers should drop to 7.5/1.5 (though their fine print actually lists it as a 6MB plan). I set my upstream limit for torrents to 1.5Mb/s (150KB/s) for a zero-lag experience. If I let it run…

Hear, hear. The advice that everyone will approach sex & orgasms differently is sound, but any conclusions about how many people do/do not want an orgasm based on this article are flawed. This is an editorial piece based on conversations a research has had with subjects/patients/students/friends (that much isn't even…

Umm.. How? I was under the impression that it was fairly well known that some women had the misfortune of rarely achieving orgasm, either through some lack of talent on their partner's behalf or some sort of medical/psychological problem. @Lizardman is clearly implying that these women may be skewing the survey…

Comcast, Frostburg MD — Advertised 15/2 Actual is typically 15-22/2-4. Today was one of the lowest speeds I've seen in awhile, 11.2/3.5.

I agree the technobabble is an improvement over TNG (which I loved). But it's still terrible, and I was shocked the first time I heard there were actual science advisors on the crew. Either they don't get listened too much, or they got a mail order degree. Still... I love Eureka, and it is amusing to see Will all…

That's how I first discovered this shortcut. I also occasionally have the problem @chetstovepiper mentions with them not dismissing, but not as much in nightlies from the last few weeks.

Related — My office at work is along an exterior wall and at the end of the HVAC run. So, hot in the summer and cold in the winter. Last winter instead of a space heater I ran a few old machines on SETI@Home instead - kept it pretty cozy in here.

All these fancy attempts to get multiple uses out of one USB cord.. Kinda crazy. I have a mini and a micro laying under my monitors at each computer I use. So many devices come with the cords that they were all free, and I can use both at once. Easy, cheap solution.

And that right there gets you a heartclick, haha.

I can see where you're coming from with that. And you're right, a lot of security is generally just keeping honest people honest. I just don't like seeing something as weak as face recognition put out there as a real security measure. I can agree that it'll help keep some people honest though.

Your locking door knob is more analogous to the PIN - an easy to implement and easy to bypass security measure that would prevent a casual grab and access - they've got to bring another tool into the picture - like your sledgehammer.

Um.. Why are we linking via StumbleUpon?

I don't think you understand security. Extra steps do not contribute to security. If anything, faux-security like this has a negative impact on overall security because the false sense of security will cause many people to relax on other security points, such as using a PIN or maintaining the physical security of the…

True, you can't assume they are lying. But I think the burden of proof is on them, and they haven't provided any.

Damn, all the SS vs 5G vs INO arguments, I've just gotta chime in.. Never heard of SS, never had INO, 5G is OK but can't touch my burgers at home. And mine aren't all that special, I've had plenty of burger's at friends (or my mom's) that beat mine. Skip the chain crap, head over to Lifehacker and read up on how to…

The claim is that they were diagnosed with a medical affliction caused by this windfarm. If that is true, they should be able to describe what the condition is. "Electromagnetic skull spasms" is technojargon, not a diagnosis. And notice we aren't hearing from a doctor — instead, we get an electrical engineer telling…

Unfortunately Shai Agassi's plan isn't really practical at all. The manufacturers aren't even cooperating on a charging plug standard (Google the issues Volt & Leaf owners are having sharing supposedly standard equipment), so how are they going standardize on a swappable battery pack?
