correct me if I'm wrong but the age of the father matters much less to the developing fetus than the age of mother, no? I guess I am also assuming you are of the male gender.

It'll be interesting when companies who have paid for product placement on those shows have direct links to purchase said products, right in Hulu. This can also be extended to show DVDs and other official studio-produced merch. Think of it

to raise a family with all the luxuries, conveniences and advantages money can buy, you're gonna need a lot more than $175k. How else can one pay for therapy sessions for the 5 year old, country club riding lessons with the older kid and se

I've worked 10+ hour days for months, before, and I can do it again, but it'll cost the employer. It'll cost him in money , productivity, and goodwill. No more unpaid overtime, and you'll be paying more per hour as well. I'm only flesh and

If only all teachers would like like you TAed, we'd have more kids who have learned how to troubleshoot instead of circle the right answer on a multiple choice

Interesting article about the business of marriage, written from an emotional point of view. To further her metaphor of being "in or out", the day she married the guy, she said she bought 100% of him. She's not a stakeholder in his busines

How patronizing: "He goes to school dances (but not clubs) and has never had a girlfriend. Asked if his new science stardom might help land one, he replies: I haven't thought about that." When will society ask the new starlets and Oscar win

Tokenadult, I've noticed your comments with regards to education and homeschooling for a while. I don't have any children yet, but they will certainly be home-schooled to the best of my abilities. Could I possibly correspond with you and as

My immediate reaction is that we live in the times of "No Culture". Almost no-one reads any Shakespeare now, and most people don't know the second law of thermodynamic either. But certainly the "abscense of culture among the masses" existed

Donations. If you are employed to write software that solves a problem your company is willing to pay for, you receive money. If you are self-employed to write software that solves a problem many people are willing to pay for, you receive m

perhaps label the button as "edit map" then....I had the impression that "Save Map" means to save the map at its current state, a la MS Word.

is there a way to "correct" a marker? the marker for a lake near my house is about 7 blocks away from the actual lake =P also...I can't find a way to add content...

Very informative article, definitely provides insight into the business of "freemium". Numbers dont' "look" so good for ThreeRings, but I hope they do well. I tried puzzle pirates for a bit, years ago, on a free account. Their games were go

"The New Plagiarism" is the plague of the sense of entitlement. If you are able to duplicate someone else's work, does it become yours? Schools teach us no; we could be expelled. Fair enough. If you make minor edits to someone else's work,

Indeed. I think I only learned how to small-talk and "network" as a parlour trick (like Fry). Fortunately I am able to form deep and meaningful friendships; anything above an acquaintance level is possible, but requires hard work. Yay intro

Yea, actually I would like to hear. I'm looking for a job myself.

The author is not a friend; the piece's point of view is from that of a "celebrity" writing about how he dealt with a "fan".

Do you also do this : You: "Hello! How are you?" Someone: "Good! How about you?" You: "Good! How about you?" Someone: "...?" You: "..."

In all honesty, what's wrong with the phrase "work the room"? Is this a phrase that is misapplied to the subject matter? Does this phrase bring up bad connotations? Is this phrase not descriptive enough or too specific for what the person i

very interesting. I agree with you that it's the phonemes that is the problem. As one ages, one's primary language phonemes sound more and more "normal", and subtlety that do not exist in one's primary language is "tossed out" by the brain.

perhaps the only insightful comment from the entire rant is that "males are general, females are particular." an exploration into why this seems to be upheld in the minds of most people would be way more interesting than her rant that Pixar

Correct. The blogger essentially works the entire day because he seems to be goofing off for most of it. The result is that he feels tired from being minimally working all day and getting nothing done.

agreed. I wonder why some people write that way. It's very difficult to write in second person successfully, because as soon as one presents information that is inconsistent with how the actual reader feels, the rest of the argument is null

That was a good one. Although watching him rave about fungi, I couldn't shake the feeling that if it came down to survival of nature with Fungi at the top, or humanity without fungi, he'd pick fungi every time....is it just me? He's definit

correction : it seems intuitive to pick the healthiest animal you can bring down with the least amount of energy. It costs predators energy to chase down game; when energy = 0 they don't just back up their rifles, go home and order take out

it's true: 100% of children from north american middle-income families are gifted. They go to schools where the teachers are not allowed to mark their work with a red pen, not allowed to draw an X or circle an incorrect answer, and not allo

brutal. Dear Ex-Friend, You have been dropped in exchange for a 10th of a $3 burger prepared at a fast food chain by pimply teens. That's right, you're not even worth 30 cents to me. Goodbye. My life is truly, marginally better without you
