I'm surprised this thread hasn't been started here yet. I'll start off by sharing 32 Stunning Photos of San Francisco in the 40s and 50s

@KrunchTime,

Beautiful photographs of my favorite city! If cities can have a soul, San Francisco must be somewhere toward the top of the list.

Btw, great idea to re-start this thread.

yesterday i was told that teachers should learn to code, because younger and younger pupils also learn it.
this was the link they gave us: http://learn.code.org/hoc/1
sigh...
not sure what to think of it.

when i was 10, they had home computers on display in every department store.
usually i "programmed" them like this:

10 PRINT "(whatever immature bs came to mind)"
20 GOTO 10

that wasn't so hard, was it?
and completely without tons of javascript or angrybirds...

Mane6 is now officially in full development mode on Them's Fightin' Herds.

Sometimes a C&D against a fanwork (the game was originally conceived as "Fighting is Magic" and based on a Hasbro franchise) can lead to something better.

Interesting article.

Radio signals from space, megalithic structures orbiting distant suns.

The makings of a great space opera right there.

@Temetka,

You never know. The day will come when we actually detect an artificially generated signal, the equipment used gets better every year.. Just a matter of time.

@Head_on_a_Stick,

That's what I thought too but apparently a different phenomenon. GRB's are more energetic, spectrum's completely different. They're single component events typically caused by the merger of neutron stars, Hypernovas from collapsing super giants or white dwarfs going thermonuclear and the events which initiate them are usually detectable by other means. FRB's are a different animal and this event is really weird. Aliens? Don't know but it's fun to be stumped.

anyhow, http://cosmology.com/News214.html - interesting stuff. sounds pretty scientific and normal (in contrast to the artwork).
i mean, come on, what are the chances that there aren't any aliens out there?

Yeah.. It doesn't make sense to me either. lol

I think the Drake equation makes it a mathematical certainty of finding 'detectable' civilizations in our galaxy alone.
