   Warning, bad science! Looking at the last plot, you can't conclude that police give out more tickets at the end of the month, unless you also conclude that police like to give out tickets around the 8th, and don't like to give out tickets a

    I was not familiar with this story and had to look it up. Thanks for the pointer. Seems like the CEO of BitMover shot himself in the leg by being kind of unreasonable and triggering the development of various open source DVCSs, which surely

    3D gaming in the browser is coming. Interestingly, while in the past people like John Carmack had to get around the limitations of the hardware, in the browser we'll be working around the limitations of the software layers between the game

    It's possible to combine the data and get a higer significance. AFAIK, Officially, CERN doesn't do these combinations, but independent people do. See here: http://blog.vixra.org/
