Hey, Let's Fix The Internet
We're Forgetting To Not Be Jerks in Real Life When web-surfing became too boring in the early days, which happened almost instantly, me and my other twelve-year-old friends would stumble into anonymous chatrooms and stir s**t up. Just go in, figure out what was important to everyone chatting, and then talk about how s****y it was. Then we'd giggle and leave.

The true colors of Yellowstone’s Thermal Springs unveiled by scientists
Published time: December 21, 2014 22:38 Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming (Reuters) Researchers have created a simple mathematical model that reveals the stunning colors of the hot springs at Yellowstone National Park by visually recreating what they looked like years ago before decades of tourists ruined them with rubbish. Scientists have long understood the basic physical phenomena that create the colors of the hot springs. They exists because of an interplay between underwater vents and lawns of bacteria, and now the research team have created a mathematical model that empirically shows how the chemical and physical variables in the pools relate to the optical colors.

Yellowstone's Thermal Springs
Printer friendly version Share 19 December 2014 American Institute of Physics (AIP) WASHINGTON D.C., December 19, 2014 – Researchers at Montana State University and Brandenburg University of Applied Sciences in Germany have created a simple mathematical model based on optical measurements that explains the stunning colors of Yellowstone National Park’s hot springs and can visually recreate how they appeared years ago, before decades of tourists contaminated the pools with make-a-wish coins and other detritus. The model, and stunning pictures of the springs, appear today in the journal Applied Optics, which is published by The Optical Society (OSA).
Starting over: Coining a new dollar - tech - 01 April 2011
Exotic dancers and traditionalists may come to miss it, but the iconic US dollar bill is ripe for replacement - with a coin. Scrapping the paper dollar would do more than prevent a frustrating time at the vending machine. It would also be more cost-effective: US dollar notes drop out of circulation within around two years due to wear and tear, but coins last decades.
6 Random Things (Other Than Drugs) That Reduce Pain
