I was disappointed, too, that rouxbe wasn't on the list. It isn't free, though, and that seems to be one of their criteria.

I have something similar, and I agree -- a quality digital piano is almost as good as the real thing. In some ways better: it never needs tuned, and the gentler touch is easy on the fingers. I will admit, though, when I want thunder, there

The analogy is not totally off at all. Read the other comments. It's just a matter of perspective. I don't agree. Without intending to defend the US government, Sharia Law (or Megaupload for that matter), there is a significant distincti

I find it curious that more than one of them predicted a decrease in literacy. Indeed, the opposite seems to have happened. When I was in college, my English professor vowed that he would make us better writers by forcing us to write an es

I don't think the dictionary is a very useful authority, here. Dictionaries are reactionary -- they document what words we use. They don't create words. We do that. (Patent|Copyright|IP) infringement is an old issue, yes, and perhaps in

I think these faces are quite beautiful and evocative. So far, I've gotten a sad old man, the west wind, a hound, a hag, and a young woman with flowing hair.

Sorry for the late reply. This system isn't designed to be used on a terminal over the net. From the original paper: The proposed system is designed to be used as a local password mechanism requiring physical presence. That

pretty sure that if I ever started a company, I'd at least try to do it without any sort of formal management. Valve does that: How could a 300-person company not have any formal management? My observation is that it takes new

The problem with that is, they don't have the passphrase, so they can't put it into the game they show you. And you don't know it, so you can't enter it, even if you want to. You can't produce the password. You can only subconsciously

They had me until this part . . . Authentication requires that you play a round of the game — but this time, your 30-letter sequence is interspersed with other random 30-letter sequences. Which makes it sound to me like yo

If you haven't seen a lot of atomic blasts, look up Trinity and Beyond. It's a documentary about nuclear warhead development and testing, with a lot of historical footage of the blasts themselves. In fact, I think the clip you reacted to

That's good to know. I suppose my experience with AIR was about a year ago--right when they first came out with support for mobile--which is about two decades in phone years. And it sounds like my research wasn't complete. Nonetheless, be

Well, 16 MB is a really quite a nasty large size for an app. For reference, one of the low-end phones I target has 180MB of internal memory. (And I don't think I can tell an app -- and certainly not an AIR app -- to install itself on the

Adobe's AIR is one of the best ways to build & deploy cross-platform mobile apps right now As someone who has built and deployed a cross-platform app on AIR, I must respectfully disagree. AIR doesn't give you access to a lot of native

We don't cope with Antarctica all that well. Otherwise there would be a permanent population down there.

Most of them weren't making a circuit -- just running the wire from one end of the battery to the base of the bulb. That shows a very fundamental lack of understanding of what's going on, without even getting into things like the power req

That depends entirely on how it works, and how hard it is to adapt to. Quinine was used to combat malaria for two centuries, and it's still pretty effective. It isn't used as much today because of its side effects, but the fact that it hel

It's pretty strange to have your base liquors mixed in with mixers. If I'm looking for a good cheap gin, it's not really relevant to know that I can get a REALLY BIG bottle of triple sec for REALLY CHEAP. I already knew that. I usually us

I would imagine it's designed to take a lot of g's. Not for dogfighting, but for carrier landings, which can be pretty rough. I know that involves completely different stresses on the airframe than maneuvering, but Google up some of the d

You can attempt a lot more of the type of mission in which both your target and your aircraft are destroyed. I've heard folks who work on drones say that once you've fired all your munitions, you have one munition left.

That was my thought as well. Notice that Alzheimer's also makes the list. Of particular interest is that suicide is on the new list, and wasn't on the old one. That says something about society, but I'm not exactly sure what.

I'd say that's rather overestimating the philosophical importance of evolution. When you look at the arguments people actually make about God's existence ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Existence_of_God ), maybe one or two of them actually

The "no true Scotsman" fallacy is about moving goalposts -- about changing the definition in the middle of the argument. You have to agree on a definition, and then you can argue about whether something fits. That is a completely different
