    Whoda thunk it? Researchers at the University of Toronto have created a high-temperature superconductor using Scotch tape[^]! This could lead to new advances in quantum computing, they claim.

        My guess is because of the very large multicolored-background text. (Wasn't me, but I do find it slightly obnoxious.)

            Common sense is admitting there is cause and effect and that you can exert some control over what you understand.

                                        It would appear that they're all stuck up.

                                        I think computer viruses should count as life. I think it says something about human nature that the only form of life we have created so far is purely destructive. We've created life in our own image. Stephen Hawking
