The technological advances that would come out of learning how to get to Mars would be incredible for life here on Mars. Imagine if we discover ways to grow healthy food from pure waste? What if we learn to eradicate common diseases? All these aren't out of the range of possibilities for a mission to Mars. The people who say this a waste of money are the same people saying NASA is a waste of money: http://spinoff.nasa.gov/Spinoff2011/ps_5.html

pooshoot | 12 years ago | on: Google’s suggestion for a better infinite scroll?

I can't believe all the negative comments on here. If you have enough tabs open that infinite scrolling starts to bog down your browser, you should probably find a girlfriend/boyfriend and get out of your mom's basement or replace your computer with one made after 2003. Infinite scrolling, especially as shown here, is fantastic because it doesn't require endless hitting of the back button to get to the original post. The only time I've had a problem with infinite scrolling is for facebook friend purging and even then, who cares!?! If you don't like sites that use infinite scrolling, don't use those sites. This hybrid pagination/infinite scroll option looked awesome to me.

This is awesome. I love the links.

pooshoot | 12 years ago | on: 37signals becomes Basecamp

"When we meet people, and they ask us what we do, we say we work for 37signals. If they aren't in the tech world, they'll squint and say "what's that?". When we say "we're the folks who make Basecamp", their eyes light up and open wide. "Basecamp! Oh I love Basecamp!..."

I haven't seen someone so proud of their mediocre-at-best product. Basecamp leaves A LOT to be desired. We switched to Jira and couldn't be happier.
