Completely unusable website for me running a relative recent version of Chrome on an older Ubuntu. Scroll functionality completely broken. The irony isn't lost on me.

When I interview a candidate for a hacker-like position, I provide give them the problem constraints and hand them my computer. I tell them to lookup anything they want. The portio…

If we can put a rover the size of a VW beetle on Mars, we can definitely put a couple of these on it too.
