The go-ahead was given last october.

@green cabbage x2: It doesn't become completely pointed until the end; I would imagine that they would have a fairly large and fairly flat surface on which to rest the cranes.

The same way the built the Burj Khalifa and most medium to large sized buildings, they put the cranes on the very top, not on the ground.

Old news, Giz. This happened like 3.8 billion years ago.

Sorry if this is a stupid question, but if right now, they keep the spent fuel in reactor pools (or something), why don't they just build a large building to store the spent fuel until it has cooled to background levels?

Is it a G6? No thank you then.

That SteadyCam app featured yesterday also breaks the rules, it's a demo/trial.

I just spent the last 8 hours designing an AJAX upload system with a progress bar. Don't badmouth one until you've made one.

Yeah, but then my damn home button would stop breaking. I've had to send my iPhone 4 in twice so far to get it replaced, since the closest Apple Store is 3 hours away, and not worth the drive.

Two corrections:

Haven't these been around for a while? I saw one a few years ago when I was shopping for a toilet for a new house.

Check out ArsTechnica, pretty much every post is a long article.

Couldn't you just switch the two around? And even then:

What I've never understood, is that when I see people share headphones, they always have the earbuds in their outermost ears, so they have to remain relatively close together. Why not just put them on the ears closest to each other, minimizing the changes of your heads touching?

iPad+Velcro?

Haha, I bought that poster a couple years ago.

It's back again, and Microsoft blamed it on a bug:

The ads themselves count the pageviews. Depending on the adblocker, it will get rid of the ads after the page fully loads, or it will prevent them from loading all together. If it does this, then the the site will get no money, because the ad doesn't log the page view.

I love it when sites like Ars Technica and DeviantArt allow you to pay money to remove ads, and get more features. I wish more sites did it.

I don't. I want the websites I go to to earn money.
