"When a photon interacts with a cell, it has a certain (small) probability of causing a carcinogenic mutation." I'm also no expert, but surely there is a risk of more significant, irreparable genetic damage accumulating if several photons i

There's a letter here from a group of X-ray imaging and cancer experts recommending further study: http://www.scribd.com/doc/35498347/UCSF-letter-to-Holdren-co...

That's exactly my experience with linux/unix tutorials also. They tend to give an exact, step-by-step account of what to type in to the shell, with no explanation whatsoever of what any of the commands actually do. Then you find that someth

I started learning Rails a few months ago, just before version 3 came out. My #1 tip - install Ruby Version Manager! Playing around with various different versions of Ruby, Rails and various gems, I managed to get my setup into a pretty bro

I moved to the US last year and work a regular full-time job. I haven't had to file taxes before, since I only started work in May. I'm about to launch my first 'weekend project' to potentially involve some advertising and Amazon-affiliate

Does anyone know how this compares with NASA's usual routine for announcing cool discoveries? The internet seems to be getting all excited about this, but if this kind of vague press conference announcement is just their standard way of ann

If everything was totally unbranded, just feeds of data, how would providers generate revenue? The obvious route would be by distorting the info in exchange for cash. If Google couldn't show their ads on search result pages, they'd need to

Airport security is ridiculous. What do we do when the first bright terrorist figures out they can blow up 500 people in the line for the scanner?

I think it's great that the government are trying to catalyse stuff, but it'd be fantastic if they would scatter some money OUTSIDE OF BLOODY LONDON.

If you're concerned about being inauthentic, you should write all your code on paper rather than using anything as performance-enhancing as a text editor. And forget about that morning coffee!

I've been working since posting this and haven't had time to properly read or reply to your comments, but wow - some really fantastic stuff here, from some very respectable people. I am going to have a great time reading and exploring what

No matter how many precious post-work hacking hours are burned on things that turn out to be a dead end, it probably adds up to less than the average person spends watching TV...

Rather than looking for the next big thing, try to look for what the next big thing is dependent on. There could be ten companies trying to build a better electric vehicle battery, but they're all going to have to get their lithium from som
