Squirt-Gun Assassins5 Comments
I think this is SO cool! Tell me you wouldn’t want to participate in something like that if it happened in your city.
I wonder if there are any rules about the size/range of your squirt-gun. Remembering those super-soakers from the 90s has me thinking that you could be pretty unstoppable if everyone else is outfitted like the guy in the article’s photo.

Scrubs on ABC2 Comments

I’m excited that Scrubs will finally see some love for its final season.
The Genome and Discrimination7 Comments
The human genome is increasingly studied and understood. Projects out of IBM’s Computational Biology group, such as The Genographic Project powered by technology on par with BlueGene, stand to change the way we look at heredity and ancestry.

It is good to know that legislation such as the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act is already making its way into the books.
CSS Selectors Test Suite1 Comment
I’ve been a supporter of Web Standards for a long time. Today I stumbled across this test, and I thought that it was particularly telling:
Mozilla Firefox 3 alpha (nightly build of Firefox 3 - 20070625):
From the 43 selectors 32 have passed, 4 are buggy and 7 are unsupported (Passed 369 out of 578 tests)
Mozilla Firefox 2.0.0.4:
From the 43 selectors 26 have passed, 10 are buggy and 7 are unsupported (Passed 357 out of 578 tests)
Safari 3.0.2:
From the 43 selectors 25 have passed, 9 are buggy and 9 are unsupported (Passed 346 out of 578 tests)
IE 7 (7.0.5730.11):
From the 43 selectors 13 have passed, 4 are buggy and 26 are unsupported (Passed 330 out of 578 tests)
Rumor has it though that Opera 9.5 will fully pass this test.
