Thanks. I missed that one. Not much cost info there but, I like the sound of:

"In computers, a Sandia Cooler would mean that we could finally cross the 4GHz/150W TDP thermal wall — or build computers that are thinner and quieter."

In the spec, it's per domain. As implemented in Chrome/Safari/IE, it's per subdomain.

They didn't used the word 'model' but said, for example, in final paragraph:

“His code was clean, well-written, and submitted in a timely fashion,” ... “Quarter after quarter, his performance review noted him as the best developer in the building.”

•on: The Atlantic suspends the Scientology advertorial

Even before this suspension there was recent evidence that in non-advertorials The Atlantic was willing to call out Scientology. Googling "scientology site:theatlantic.com" yields, for example:

http://www.theatlantic.com/national/archive/2013/01/a-wonder... (dated Jan 14, 2013. Weirdly uncritical, simple praise for a book on Scientology)

July 2012 The Atlantic: "Psychiatry vs. Scientology":

"dated Jan 14, 2013. Weirdly uncritical, simple praise for a book on Scientology"

Jeffrey Goldberg posted that in response to or in protest of the advertorial.

I know what Gentoo is. My point is we don't say Ubuntu "a specialized version of Debian", yes it is derived from it but still basically its Linux.

Maybe it is. But this closed system crap is one of the things I hate about LinkedIn. When I visit the link you offered I am greeted with:

"You and this LinkedIn user don’t know anyone in common. You can only view the profiles of users within your network. However, as you add connections, you may discover people you know in common."

Want to take a screen shot of what you were able to share?

I'm not sure that a fair characterization of her motive, not at least as she tweeted her apology:

"@randizuckerberg I'm just your subscriber and this was top of my newsfeed. Genuinely sorry but it came up in my feed and seemed public."

I wasn't speaking to her motive, only the act. Do what you naturally want to do with whatever enters your sphere of attention. It's not our job to run FB's security, so not a second thought should be given to anything that slips through.

In what browser. There's scroll bar in Safari 6/Mac. And Safari’s "Reader" feature also seems to scroll it properly.

In Chrome.

But I seem to have gotten it now by messing around with the page. Here, a screenshot: http://i.imgur.com/DirT2.jpg (yes, I do browse the web with pages enlarged -- 1080p on a 15" laptop results in text being too small for my eyes to comfortably read)

I also can't see the scrollbar or scroll the page with OS X 10.7.5 and Google Chrome 23.0.1271.95. It works in Safari and Firefox.

•on: Ask PG: Has the algorithm been modified?

Can't speak from inside knowledge, but it has been observed when this was asked in past that during slow period (middle of night, U.S. time; Sunday mornings) it takes surprisingly little activity to rise quickly to top (if only briefly).

This makes sense, really. So few votes are cast (on page #1 of the newest, often seemingly 10-per-50-posts) that people voting means something is significant.

May be, but it lets luck play a bigger role and looks like an abusable feature.

It's a feature that means that those of us living outside the continental USA are not disadvantaged.
