Oh yeah, my username... Not related.

I held similar apprehensions. Google already knows too much about me. Giving Google control over a physical (as opposed to digital) records of me approaches a limit of personal privacy.

Wow I had no Idea the place was still in such a state of devastation. It really was bad.

On another note, I really love theatlantic.com's In Focus photography sets. HERE is one of my favorites.

Is TNG Podcast available on iTunes?

    Non-biological AI will inherit the Earth from us.

That sounds frightening. Could you expand on this? Do you expect this possibility to come about in the form of humanoid robots who interact like humans and effect the environment? Or rather AI computers which continue to communicate with one-another after all humans are deceased? What are the ramifications?

So stupid. The blue line on that graph shouldn't exist.

I don't have any reasoning behind it, but I feel like they might be dead.

Damn. That is cool. Makes me disappointed that I will never get to see anything like that.

    I too wish they hadn't included tags. They could have told you afterwards.

Yes. Also I doubt your age, location and gender had any effect on which result you were given, only which head you clicked. But wait... could it?

That's a really cool photo. That pic would fit two monitors also.

Btw, I think you spelled your tag wrong, you may want to edit that.

Gotcha. Makes sense now.

Also, I fixed the image in my bio. I figured out the cutoff for logged in users is actually 28-29. Sadly this makes the image incredibly small. Hoping this actually gets changed one day.

Good job, thanks!

Wow that is strange.

Glad to hear from another person with diverse interests. Making all your own clothes must have some benefits!

Oh very nice! Now how do I use it?

I'm impressed that you can tell its sex. When I had sea monkeys I must have been lucky because there was at least 20 of them in the tank.

Fox  ·  4336 days ago  ·  link  ·    ·  parent  ·  post: What is your main hobby away from computers and the internet?

I wish I had the opportunity. Such a fun sport but I've only played Ice hockey once in my life. It's not very common where I live.

That was actually incredibly well done. Love it.

Tower defense games are the best. This one was always my favorite.

Fox  ·  4336 days ago  ·  link  ·    ·  parent  ·  post: Putting an image in user Bio shifts the 'Recent' column down underneath the image.

Bingo. good job figuring that out. I've fixed my image to be 66 high for now until the problem gets fixed. (Probably will not be soon.)

Fox  ·  4336 days ago  ·  link  ·    ·  parent  ·  post: Putting an image in user Bio shifts the 'Recent' column down underneath the image.

I'm very happy that images embed inside profiles. It adds possibility for customizable flair to it. Your image is quite large though, so I'm not surprised that it reformatted poorly. It would be really nice if the profile box would expand horizontally rather than vertically. Like this mock up i made: That would solve the problem. And perhaps if there was an image size limit for embedding to profiles it would avoid people putting massive images that would break the formatting. thenewgreen are you a Hubski dev? Or just an influential user?

My zoom is 100% but your image still appears to overlap the hubwheel beside it. here's my point of view: I'm just intrigued by this because my little fox image goes nowhere near the Recent Posts yet it alters the position.

Fox  ·  4336 days ago  ·  link  ·    ·  parent  ·  post: Putting an image in user Bio shifts the 'Recent' column down underneath the image.

giml Very interesting that an extra-wide image will not alter the Recent column, even though it appears to overlap part of a hubwheel. Thanks for testing further.

You might be right. On a related note, Hubski could really use a mobile app.
