Sounds like the ultimate non-Newtonian fluid to me. Also, since objects gain mass as they approach the speed of light, a better visualization might be a falling through air, where drag is mass and terminal velocity is the speed of light. It

Agreed, reminds me of a test I took in a stress analysis class (mechanical engineering at Arizona State University in the US). We had covered thermal expansion of unconstrained objects, as well as those held in certain dimensions by fixed w

At this point though, the "con" of feeding trolls is outweighed by the "pro" of increasing public awareness. Plus, the "trolls" involved here are so severe that they no longer require a response to continue. Th

Worst I have seen is for U-play "forgot my password". For months it has said to do 2 side by side capchas, but only one image appears, but with two entry boxes. Their official response is to do it through their forums, which only

Considering the three way fight between Xbox, playstation and PC, it seems Nintendo is trying to claim a less saturated portion of the market. While Xbox and playstation fight over who has the best graphics (which will always be worse than

You have to realize their history though. The "Nintendo seal of approval" exists because the game market was filled with horrible games when they first started, so trusting some other dev with their IP, which could potentially be

While I agree with much of what you say, your "safety" justification confuses me. If someone is wanted for a lesser, non-violent crime, it is arguably safer for the police to knock on the front door, as residents often mistake SWA

Hopefully they add additional options (yoshi, invisible blocks, fire flowers, etc.) otherwise I will probably pass. It does seem like an early build though, so that's a good sign that they will.

There is also the possibility that the venue itself, a large area filled with people, visiting a foreign country, would cause the to feel such an obligation as "guests".

I am still trying to find how they defined "gamer". Does a mom obsessed with candy crush count? Statistics without background can be worse than useless. Also, adding female assassins would not be as simple as "create a model&

Mine is a bit less professional, I was playing a MMO (forgot which), and someone had hacked their way into the company's servers and stole some credit card numbers. I googled "MMO name" hacker news, and saw some interesting a

Reminds me of the "hippo roller" http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hippo_water_roller That was invented in 1997, basically the same thing, but appears larger, plus with the simpler design is probably cheaper. E

It seems the icon itself relates to the difficult of accurately conveying information through small symbols. Do I think this company should have chose a better icon? Yes, but the core shapes and colors are designed to reduce doubt as much a

My experience suggests the contrary (full disclosure, I'm Catholic, although I don't go to church regularly). Your argument is against religious INSTITUTIONS, which are, like all system we create, flawed. Religion itself is separa
