Where there's a problem, there's at least one solution. I have no idea how to building a bot that can run science experiments in 400+ °C sulfuric acid clouds, but I bet its possible.

I had the same thought. This "sky crane" thing doesn't look like a good idea. I hope it'll all go well. The rover is awesome though. They should build 20 of them and send them to all planets and some of the moons as well.

This looks more like the usual "bright idea" of some third rank guy. Next year the people at the top will notice, because more and more foreign companies are pi##ed, and they will revert the whole thing again. I can't imagined that this wil

On my netbook, Gmail is now almost unusable. All the position:fixed elements at the top and botton and left side take up so much space, that the square left for the actual email message has become rediculessly small. If they offered simply

I am glad about Unity and Gnome3, because it made me try the Xfce4-Desktop. Simple, fast, without many settings and other stuff that distracts from work. It's what Gnome should be according to the original philosophy of the Gnome project.

Bangladesh and Pakistan are already huge in clothing. Vietnam is also atracting many producers of cheap/easy to make products. China is moving to mote complex products. That's just how it is supposed to work.

China's minimum wage reduced prices around the world. For some simple products like clothes, other places with lower wages like Pakistan, Bangladesh and Vietnam are already taking over a big part of production. Great. Because eventually the

It can. If you have money in China, you are much more free than in the West. Because laws only apply to you to a very little extent. You killed five people while speeding drunk? One phone call and problem solved. The question is not freedom

It makes it very easy for people to steal vast amounts of your content and republish it on their own sites, with ads all around it. Many content sites have protections in place to recognize bots by their behavior or use "honeypots" to tell

Some guy posted some unproven random claims on pastebin, and people take it that serious? "It must be true, I've seen it on the Internet!" 500+ upvotes? c'mon.

Just another symptom of a society where success is defined by the amount of money one makes, and not by one's ethical integrity. Get eyeballs for CNN, whatever it takes.

I disagree. Projects need these wake up calls and should listen to them much closer. Firefox is a good example. I have used it since "Phoenix 0.1" came out. Already during "Firebird" times, users have started to complain that it is getting

I am serious. Is there an option in the settings to make all elements scroll again? It's not like I am the only one who prefers a small screen. The many position:fixed elements is a major flaw in this new design.

Help!! With all the none-scrolling stuff the new design has, on my netbook I have only some 600x300 pixels left to see the actual email message. To read the email message is the reasong I am opening Gmail! I don't care about a static user a

True. But still, you can just set your privacy options to only share this stuff with first-level friends. The real problem with Facebook is that they collect data about you, without you being able to control that data. Everything that peopl

Wow, thanks for sharing! It's these small things to remember that can save a lot of debugging time down the road. Will remember to "use strict" when I use nodeJS again.
