The hope, then, is that when taking something more "natural" as opposed to man-made is that that natural product will inherently contain a wider variety of compounds that taken together create a more potent, but gentle effect on the patien

Wikipedia (technically Wikimedia Commons, or whatever it's called) has lots of maps in SVG. I've used those before.

I disagree. There are two main economic reasons to own stock: to earn dividend, or to sell the stock later at a higher price. In Amazon's case, they make almost no profits, so only the second reason applies. Then, what you're really predict

You need to do less thinking and more listening, friend. When I say Quartz Composer, I mean Quartz Composer.

That sounds exactly like the workaround a mildly autistic person would come up with after being lied to a couple of times. Where are you on the autism spectrum?

Two things to note, though: 1) the script as given doesn't actually generate graphical output, just a text file; 2) something like Quartz Composer would be perfect for doing this with a GUI.

Of course racism was prevalent at the time, but does that discredit all arguments against putting cocaine in soda? Can we say that the social ill-effects are completely imaginary just because at the time concern was focused on blacks? The a

This is a very smart move by Musk from a PR point of view. By accusing Boeing's batteries of being fundamentally unsafe, he garners the maximum amount of trust from people who are concerned about battery safety, so that, when he immediately

This page lists the LTE networks supported now: http://www.apple.com/iphone/LTE/ It's interesting to note that, if it weren't for the US (& expansion packs), you could use a single iPhone model to access LTE networks all over the worl

"Figuring out" seems more active than "reading" to me. But of course being active is better than being passive in our culture, so the newer and better tech will always be labeled "active" no matter what it actually does.

Why is Apple so afraid of pornography, anyway? I could understand wanting to avoid bad publicity in the early days of the app store; but now there's a competing platform overflowing with porn apps (at least I'm assuming that's the case with

Reminiscent of the old joke where the physicist says "let's assume the horse is a sphere." But while a sphere might be a good model for a horse, it's definitely not a good model for how actual computers currently work. In other words, the "

I don't think all prosecutors are as idealistic as you suggest. It seems that some of them are more concerned with scoring points for their political career than they are with who or what is causing actual societal harm. Of course, that mig

I'm talking about that peak right there in 2011. I can't find whole-year data for 2012 yet, but 3Q shipments were down over 2011 ( http://www.theregister.co.uk/2012/10/11/horror_idc_pc_sales_... ), and Q4 was not expected to make up for it

This is pretty good for 500px. I had never even heard of them before, and now they're going to be all over the Internet. I just downloaded the ISO500 app, which apparently they acquired, and which is still available on the App Store.

Sure, but are the other players completely disinterested? Some of them might have pure motives: take Mozilla, for instance, which seems to see WebRTC as a trojan horse to force the market to adopt non-MPEG codecs. They have the users' best

Words can have different meanings in a jargon than they do in the dictionary, but that does not make those meanings invalid. For instance, in computing "sane" means "I'm an overly opinionated git and everyone who disagrees with me is wrong.
