This is a great way to search all the top torrent sites quickly.

That’s quite a few…. What I really prefer though are the aggregating ones. Screw having to search one, then go back, search the next, etc… They could have made this site much better than it is… One major thing it is missing is the ability to quickly search all the torrents and have the results on one page. Instead of making a real service they just make it search queries directly into the site themselves which is lame. It would be much better if it actually consolidated the engines together and re-parsed the hits. This is only a step above a page of links to the various sites.

Some alternate sites would be:
torrentz - is way better. This site really searches through all the top torrentz sites and displays the results on one page.
torrenttyphoon is great, searches all the major sites at once.

Browsershots is an open-source system for distributed automatic production of browser screenshots. View screenshots of web pages in different browsers, at different screen resolutions and with different plugins.

Really slow site but it seems pretty cool. It would be cooler if there were a p2p network of webmasters who could download an application and test their website in a service such as this one.

I just noticed that its an open source DISTRIBUTED project. With 4500+ jobs in the queue I suppose how else would they get the job done. The screenshots are very good quality, showing the whole page in sections and not just the ‘top half’.

Another similar service that had been down for aaages I see is back up, which takes screenshots of your site in a few browser on a mac. Thanks to those who submitted Google, I’ve also wondered what it looks like in Firefox 800x600…

Processing may take a while. Usually the first screenshots will be available two minutes after submitting, and the last will be finished within half an hour. If the job queue is exceptionally full, you may have to wait a few hours or longer. Too bad you cant download the app to your own server for testing.

If anyone really needs this service, use browsercam. You have to pay, but it’s fast which is important if your debugging a website.

If you are a web designer, you should just have each browser you are testing against available locally. They all offer free trials/versions. And as a serious web dev, even buying them should be part of your budget!

We can say that Skypiquette is a shared set of rules that make your and others’ life and communications on Skype easier.

I guess, there should be a set of etiquette rules for the entire internet. Rule #1 - No one is allowed to use LOL or OMFG Anyway, this seems like a good idea for skype users, but mostly common sense. If only that wasn’t the one thing most people lack.

There are the unspoken set of rules that everybody complies with, but having a concrete, written version of it that can be referred to at any time is always a good thing.

This site has FREE language courses online for almost any language you would want to learn. You would have to be really good at this type of thing to learn a new language in a few weeks, much less a few days. Anyway, if you are wondering if these are programming languages… I guess it’s not going to happen.

My past experience has shown me that you can learn enough phrases to get around a city that speaks a different language in about a week. The site has plenty of canned phrases, but the interface could use a little work. All in all, a great resource. Maybe everybody under the age of 21 can now learn proper English, grammar and punctuation.

If you were asking, “Show me someone who learned a new language in a few days” - here are two examples

• William Sidis - Sidis learned a language by learning the root languages of a language; i.e., he learned Latin, Greek, and German to learn English, learned Chinese to get part of Japanese down, et cetera. He also had an insanely high IQ, beyond genius. I’m sure that helped.
• Daniel Tammet learned Icelandic in one week.

This photo shows the potential of freezing rain.

Amazing what some freezing rain can turn into. The cars and the road look like nothing special, however the angled icicles from the trees are wicked impressive. Only thing I think that is interesting about this is that the icicles are curved. All over the neighborhood the trees were all bent over and cars we cemented in a 1/4 inch layer of ice. Going to work was hella fun when you had to chip that stuff away.

Saw this on Snopes. More pictures and complete story here. There another scoop here too.

BTW, check out the EXIF data.

Guess where the link goes. LOL!

hehe.. I don’t like IE now that the internet is so full of security issues, but if IE had that all resolved, it wouldn’t be a bad browser. It’s just that nothing can come close to competing with Firefox. LOL..

The security problems are pretty bad, but the way they just refuse to follow accepted standards is just arrogant and annoying.

I don’t mind IE, it is just that I love Firefox because…

• + It keeps all my passwords protected with a master one.
• Has Adblock
• Has Foxytunes
• Has GMail Notifier.
• Is fast at loading pages.

A few things that I don’t like…

• Takes forever to load.
• People don’t know what the heck you are talking about if you say Firefox
• People can’t say the “Mozilla” part of it. (They say Mazilla)

I don’t hate IE, I just really love Firefox. When I used IE I had to download a bunch of little programs that made it operate like Firefox does right out of the box (popup blockers, tabbed browsing, Google toolbar, etc..).

I just hate ActiveX which is IE’s main flaw. It’s not needed. People can’t be that dumb not to know how to install a program. And as the Windows Update Extension on Firefox proves, you don’t need ActiveX for that either.

Other than that, IE is actually a very powerful browser… It’s just dripping with arrogance and stubbornness.

Another useful site.

This is a link to a GoogleMaps image of AMARC in Tucson, AZ. AMARC stores approximately 4,500 military aircraft in a large property belonging to Davis-Monthan Air Force Base.

Just because they are there, does not mean they don’t get used. U.S. makes a very nice profit from selling refurbed/stored planes..also very handy to nab spare parts from. history channel documentary about this not too long ago… But Using Google Canada to look at a United States Air Force base? Priceless.

Do you really think the NSA would allow Google to show planes that a well-placed bomb would disrupt National Security? That picture is probably years old and insignificant at best. If the military is letting you see that, think of what they are still hiding from you…

Looks like mostly F-4E Phantoms with the smaller ones and I think I saw some older B-52’s there. These COULD be used if refurbished. Just in case we have an issue with F/A-18’s. AMARC is a facility that breaks down old planes and resells the parts both to the U.S. military, to foreign allies, and commercial venues.

What you are all looking at is referred to as the “bone yard”. It is were the military keeps stocks its surplus of airplanes. Because of the location’s temperature and humidity it is ideal for storing planes for a long period of time. The process is done by first removing all of the electronics, avionics, and hydraulic fluids, then the planes are applied with spray-on latex. Cheaper to store them then to keep them in inactive service. There is a wide variety of planes at the bone yard, ranging from vintage WWII fighters and bombers to today’s top of the line F-16 Falcons or B-52 Stratofortresses. What happens is all that any time a plane needs to be repaired, replaced, or retired, they go to the bone yard. In some cases you will see entire planes cut straight in half, just for certain parts.The older outdated planes such as a Korean War fighter F-86 Saber can be bought by civilians because it is outdated and no longer used. Countries interested in adding on to their air force will contract and buy more advanced planes from the United States. For example, the F-4 Tigershark, F-4 Phantom, and F-16 Falcon are very popular, and cheap, effective planes to sell to other countries. However the planes stored at the bone yard are also the US Air Force’s “emergency stash” sorta speak. In less than three days those planes can be made combat ready. A lot of those planes are probably newer than the commercial jet fleets we fly on today.

ve.msn.com, has closer views. Here’s another really good photo.. They are in storage in case they should ever need to be used. The pictures are amazing but you should see them in person, its amazing.

There was just a History Channel show about this place. A good portion of those planes can be put back into service rather quickly. The rest are kept for spare parts for planes that are out in service. It was a very cool History channel special but I can’t think of the name. Something with “Boneyard” in it. Also check out Google Sightseeing.
Lots of cool things you can see from space. There’s a whole section for aircraft. Oh, and search for Area 51, it’s not really much to look at but you can see where they tested nuclear weapons nearby. Also, check out the images of planes IN FLIGHT.

It’s not about “wasting money” on planes. It’s about having them. Governments play games like this, where they pack their pants with as many socks as possible, and then soundly strut in front of each other to see who’s really in control. I think the country that has 4500 planes ready to go and fight WWIII is in the best position.

Your pale, you wear black socks with mustard yellow shorts and an A-Team shirt…So how you going to get laid!? Read this!

LOL.. What a waste of time to write all that. Writing all of that is probably why he’s not getting any. Hmm, I’m going to say that this is kind of lame. Everything this guy talks about is obvious, and honestly, unless you’re an oldschool nerd… This shouldn’t be a problem. Is it really that hard for geeks to get ANY???

Why do geeks need tutorials for EVERYTHING? I think this person has it wrong. Being an asshole is more likely to get you women. If you do it the way she proscribes your just going to end up looking for your balls somewhere in her purse. If a woman has to fight for your attention you are a hundred times more likely to get laid and it will be on your terms. It gets an A for effort. And by A I mean “totally fucking retarded.”

It might not be exactly accurate…but at least it’s amusing You would be better off with rape then this tutorial. I think a masturbation guide would be more appropriate. It’s only a matter of time before we have robot girlfriends. Haven’t you guys ever seen that futurama episode where Fry gets the Lucy Liu bot. Hysterical.

Maybe stick with the ‘love the one you’re with’ idea from the 60s? Geek girls tend to dig geek guys. All that crap (looking for dialated pupils??) sounds like way too much work to be worth it. This is the man who’s giving you love advice, and all of that was very obvious, except the pupil thing, I had no idea about that.

I thought it was funny as hell! Of course after I got through the whole “awkward teenage years (12 - 15), all I have to do is look at a girl and smile to get the results that I want. This must have been written for those that have social skills hovering somewhere between Ebola and a Black Hole! People who say that you have to be an asshole to get laid are ones who never get laid and are trying to make themselves feel better by saying “I was too nice” rather than the reality, which is “No woman would ever want to have sex with me.” It does not take being an asshole to get a woman interested, and guys who know how to treat a woman right will get laid more often, and by far BETTER woman than one who treats them like garbage. The problem is, geeks go too far overboard and immediately put every woman on a pedestal.

“Princess from G-Force, she really is, I’m a Nerd.” This song tells why nerds, geeks and dweebs can’t get any girls. If you’re having trouble with women, admit and learn the skill. That much I agree with the article, as well as the fact that you just gotta get out there to get better…

This person sort of knows what they’re talking about, but if you want to read something by someone who really gets it you should read this.

Ever wonder how people find news so fast!? Check this nice little site out. Put these in ajax form and it will be great.

Here are some other similar sites for tech news:
Daily Rotation
glek.net
noob-strike.net
Bits of News (if you are registered you can add your own feeds)

But the main question is : “How can anyone hope to keep up with the news from all those sites *and* leave the house from time to time?” Come on, you’ve got to know where to draw the line.
