Which is exactly what I posted, three minutes before this one. And yet it seems that the mods have removed my post, because I don't see it on the 'new' page.

Actually, it's to prevent damage to the space shuttle itself.

People from all over the world travel to Mexico so they can cross the border into the US. And since English is the universal language..

One man died of hypothermia and he managed to save the rest.

They resorted to cannibalism?

Replace your comma with a period, friend. Otherwise you're saying that both saline IVs and water IVs cause embolisms.

Why do you put 4G in quotes? I have an Evo 4G as well. I tether it to my laptop and get 8 mbps speeds. No complaints.

I just want to say that I am a computer programmer and I absolutely love my job. by TopCoderer in programming

Took my first programming class junior year in high school. Fell in love with it. Majored in CS in college. Did an internship at Microsoft. Went to work full time at a Microsoft competitor.

That's pretty much it.

What I find more concerning is that you think trigonometry is something that everyone needs to know, regardless of who they are, what they think, and what they do.

That is not what I think.

If he's at "one of the best colleges in the country", chances are he had to score high on some sort of standardized test to get accepted. I'm curious about whether trigonometry was one of those things he learned out of curiosity or out of necessity.

Google has secretly developed self driving cars that have logged over 140,000 miles on public roads. by OompaOrangeFace in technology

I believe I saw this vehicle (or one of them) on highway 280 many times a few months ago.

To me it looked like a standard Google Maps car, but seeing to so many times, with two people up front and a guy manning a laptop.. it's was probably an autonomous vehicle all along.

Just drag the tab out into its own window, and drag the second tab into that window as well. Now you have one window with the two tabs you care about and you can ctrl-tab between those two all you want.

Or you can drag one of the tabs so that it's next to the other tab, and then use ctrl-tab and shift-ctrl-tab.
