The pens are worthless in general. Real bills can "fail", fake bills easily pass if they care to. The Secret Service will tell you to not rely on them if you call them up and ask about them. A friend of mine had a $10 bill check

I don't know what he means, but I can give my own perspective (primarily ex-gamer, used to play a lot of Q3A, Doom, and similar): FPS games used to have very simple orthogonal game mechanics. Large amounts of complexity would arise fr

All else aside, do "secretary pools" even still exist? At the very least I've never come across any at any of the companies I've worked for. I am near certain they do not exist at my current company; I've intera

I think that one of the problems for chip and pin adoption in the US is that there isn't a compelling reason for US consumers to desire it. Credit card fraud might be a pain-point for merchants, but it simply is not for consumers. On

Either I'm missing your joke, or you are missing Olin's. American universities, 30 years ago or otherwise, do not actually have the sort of gun culture that Olin is describing. For example, Olin was not actually going to mount

Do you similarly lose sleep over the idea of AIDS becoming airborne? Don't waste your time worrying about such hypotheticals. If you want to worry for sport, there are better things to worry about.

What there is of Seattle's transit is good. The problem is that coverage is poor, it relies too heavily on buses (I'd love some more comprehensive regional rail...) and the buses are over capacity and underfunded. Otherwise it i

Just to throw a anecdote on: I picked up toe-walking when I was a kid in response to regularly having to walk around barefoot on gross locker-room floors. In my case, I only do it when barefoot, and these days my heels are typically only a

I am not talking about the current state of patent law in the US. I am talking about the patentability of software in general. Not as the US implements it, but as it could ever be implemented, by anyone.
