If I may, I would like to give my .02 on this.
I personally would NOT classify string theory as pseudo science as it is well known to be a hypothesis, not pressed to be an actual theory. When i think of pseudo science, I think of ID and creation: crap that is pressed on as fact or legitimate study, when it is based on bullshit.
From all I have read on string theory, it is well known to NOT be able to be studied/tested properly so as to formulate a working theory for it......YET. That's not for a lack of effort though:

Hewett, Lillie and Rizzo found that if so called micro-black holes, which are smaller than the nucleus of an atom, exist, they can be used to determine the number of extra dimensions. If scientists were to smash two high energy protons together they could theoretically make such a micro-black hole. Such a collision could happen at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider (LHC), which will become operational next year. Once created, the micro-black hole decays quickly and emits over a dozen different kinds of particles such as electrons, neutrinos and photons, which are easy to detect. Using the predicted decay properties of the black hole into neutrinos, Hewett, Lillie and Rizzo solved complex equations to determine if our universe has 10, 11, or more dimensions perhaps too many dimensions to be explained by critical string theory.
