Yeah, Opera's Quick Download is awesome. Is there a Chrome equivalent of this? I was hoping there would be a command like "download:" or something.

They may have posted the wrong article, but I'll be the first in line to thank them for bringing this awesome fan to my attention. I'm subletting a top-floor apartment without A/C this summer and will definitely grab one of these when the sun starts baking us in a few weeks.

Believe it or not Fiennes may be the good guy here. Word is that if Judi Dench steps down as M, Fiennes' role as an MI-6 admin may get bumped up to future M.

His lines w/ Batman were perfectly clear but I still can't make out the single word he replies when asked "what are you" at about 0:32. Rewatched it a dozen times now and still can't figure it out.

The Cronidur has to be the most geek-lusty knife on the market on engineering merits alone. The Cronidur alloy was invented to forge ball bearings for the space shuttle fuel pumps. Before Cronidur, the fuel pump bearings would have to be replaced for every launch, but Cronidur bearings are sturdy enough to withstand…

Bed, Bath & Beyond has this nice block that is densely packed Koosh-style rubber bristles so you can stick in whatever shape knife you want. Buying a wooden knife block risks that you might eventually buy a knife that's too wide or too long to fit its slots.

Heh, Caesar Flickerman was sitting on a copy of Battle Royale stacked underneath the Hunger Games.
