Speccy!

I'll buy it from you for a fair price.

Well thank you. Like I said, it's been far too long since my last chemistry class (and probably for good reason). I guess that is why I went into the social sciences :)

Well, there you go. I had to do some additional readings but found what you said, that when NaCl is dissolved in water, NaCl disassociates into Na+ and Cl- ions. To be fair, however, on the molecular level it is still table salt, regardless of ionization. Thanks for the clarification though. It's been too long since…

I never said we've evolved to be sedentary creatures, otherwise we would have developed additional evolutionary traits to compensate for the negative effects that are being talked about in the article. What I said was is that we've evolved so that when we are not standing and not asleep, the most comfortable body…

Salt is not made of a mixture of sodium and chloride, it's one compound, Sodium Chloride. Saying the "chloride" seals in colors would be like trying saying you could breath under water because you can breath the "O" in the H20.

I think the most glaring conclusion we can make is to not get the iPhone 4S from Sprint!

I agree that being sedentary, which logically goes along with sitting, is not good for health. But sitting itself is not detrimental. Our body has evolved so that it is most comfortable sitting on our butts, hence the extra flesh there so that you aren't grinding your tailbone into the sitting surface.

This is the perfect example of an article that NEEDS to be on Gizmodo. Informative, cool, and deals with radioactive death.

We only got off of dial-up around 2004, and that was only because we signed up for satellite internet. To be fair, it was a little faster, but with ridiculous data caps like 17GB/month (between three people) or they throttled you to LESS than 56k speeds. And for the low cost of around $80 a month.

Hmmm, I never thought of it that way. Very devious!

I was wondering when the Nook would be updated, that thing has been around forever!

You make a good point, but how many people cut their hands on a knife when the accidentally drop it? What I am trying to say is that in a reflex moment like that, people don't think things totally through. There's no way to make a knife safer without hindering its utility, but putting a better protective grill over…

Yea, mine are broken down into fraternity brothers, undergraduate friends, graduate friends, family, and high-school friends I care to link to on facebook.

I'm actually working on my PhD in I/O psychology and am a trainer for our graduate school's research ethics training program. Look's like I will have something new to talk about this weekend!

But to be fair, social psychologists have been beating a dead horse with discrimination and stereotyping for decades. After so many years of one-upping the other, the claims were bound to become outlandish.

Social psychologists go to graduate school to....become social psychologists. They need something to spice in their lives.

Not only has this made it's way into public understanding, but it can also have actual impact on public policy and legislative law.

Lol, well at least it'll have great resell value.

What about if someone bumped this fan off a desk or shelf and tried to catch it before it hit the floor?
