Do you have any proof for this, or is it just baseless conjecture? I suspect the latter, because nearly every link when you search for "traffic merging studies" states that late merging is more effective at reducing congestion. Fr

Hawaiian is one of Hawaii's official languages (the other being English). Drivers licences in Hawaii are issued by the state, so they should have to support the Hawaiian language. In effect, the state of Hawaii has already come up with

From that page: "Of the top 400 richest Americans in 2011, 27 graduated from high school but did not attend college. Another 36 were college dropouts." In other words 84.25% of the top 400 richest Americans graduated from college.

They can. My wife dropped hers in the bathtub once. We put it in a sealed container with uncooked rice overnight, and the next day it was fine (other than the piece of rice that ended up in the microphone jack somehow). It's a crapshoo

For those of you who are questioning charity: water, it gets a really good rating of 67.32/70 on Charity Navigator. 87.2% of its revenue goes towards program expenses, 5.2% for administrative overhead, and 7.5% for fundraising expenses

Given the RFC says "The names within an object SHOULD be unique", there's nothing stopping me from writing a parser that takes the first name/value pair and throwing all the others on the floor. Or even better, picks a r

This needs to be paralleled with the story of Caroline Criado-Perez, who campaigned to get a woman to replace Winston Churchill on the ten-pound note. After it was announced that Jane Austen will be on the ten-pound note, Criado-Perez recei

I like how the author editorialized about the RAM use of Unity ("Too bad it runs in 192MB of memory! It would be a good idea to trim it down, let’s say by 50%. As a note, DOS conquered the world by running in 64KB of memory.") yet
