However, I have the feeling you can inflate the REI one more because the pressure is higher. If I plan on sleeping on that thing overnight, I don't care about the added inconvenience, if it means it will be more comfortable. I agree that fo

I personally think northern countries have less crime because you can't survive alone in the cold. His anecdote about the stranger picking him up should have been a clue. People in a critical situation tend to help each other more and when

Maybe they were tired of all the speculations and simply sent a mail clearly stating what the reality is so that the employees won't feed the rumor machine.

It will fall jam side down 100% of the time even if it's not a Mobius strip. It's the law.

I think I remember John promising not to repeat the Spore DRM debacle in one of those townhall meetings. He was there to change the EA-is-the-devil's-armpit image and the SimCity PR disaster is just another example of his failure. Also, his

I fail to see how this fixes the problem. How does a small company or individual who doesn't have the millions to defend herself win in the first place? The way I understand it right now, this basically only removes the risk from medium siz

Even if they had to, they would be. Everything transmitted over a public network is encrypted. What assume they probably do is: Browser compress data -> Browser encrypt data for transmission to proxy -> Browser transmit encrypted da

It's not really a man-in-the-middle, as Nokia is actually controlling one of the two end points, that is, the browser.

It's so they can compress the data and save on your data plan. You can't compress encrypted stuff, so they temporarily decrypt it, compress then reencrypt. They could have turned it off for HTTPS data though, but then all the mails would no

> how do they classify "corruption"? I was asking myself the same about lobbying. Is lobbying some form of "legalized corruption"? Reading their explanation just made me even more confused, they don't even seem to know themselves. htt

Exactly. I'm Canadian and because of the TSA, I don't travel through the US anymore, even if it means my ticket are a couple hundred dollars more expensive.

If you observe carefully, Star Trek doors seem to detect intent rather than proximity. Sometimes people are just in front of them talking and as soon as they finish and want to get through, the door magically knows it needs to open. On the

Nice! You can actually use those to make pairs of stereoscopic images. You can even see features not otherwise visible from the raw pictures. It's a shame the left and right camera distances are not the same as a human eye ; it makes the 3D

The copilot mentions he pulled the stick all along in the cockpit recording about 30 seconds before crashing. EDIT: When the pilot realized the error, he tried to correct, but it was already too late.

I don't think the problem with software patents is that the inventor didn't necessarily made the code before. Quite the contrary, some of the most controversial software patents are in fact so simple that you learn that in CS 101 or by your

I once read somewhere (I honestly can't remember where) that if you are the only one pursuing a business idea with absolutely no competition, you are either a genius, or a fool. This all comes down to such trite sentences as: "Ideas are a d

My guess is that it depends on the amount of traffic. Edit: I remember a few years ago it would take 30 minutes to an hour before it expired. Maybe it deletes the oldest tokens first.
