Has your Macintosh Superdrive stopped burning media? Behold the most arcane fix in Apple history! http://forums.macosxhints.com/showthr...
Burn-256x256.png
This should not work. My Superdrive has refused to burn media for a long time. Toast's error messages are useless, but I decided to try burning an image in Disk Utility. Sure enough, failure. But it gave me a more verbose error message (couldn't calibrate laser). I Googled it, leading me to this unlikely tip: Change your language settings. SRSLY. Seemed harmless, if not improbable, so I tried it. Instant fix. Unbelievable. - Chris Baskind

@mactavish Good for you. :-) I usually check profiles before following. But you can't always tell. The spammy DMs are out of hand.
I hope y'all do this, too. If a new follower's first contact with you is a DM with a commercial message, unfollow them.

Video technique makes it look as if a helicopter is flying with stationary blades - http://www.ufo-science.com/uk...
In fact the propeller of this Russian helicopter is really rotating. A radio wave signal is coupling the shot time of the movie camera with the rotation of the rotor to synchronize them. This allows to visualize efforts and deformations on the blades. - Chris Baskind via Bookmarklet
