According to Hodgeman: You can only choose one or the other. If you have the power of invisibility, only you and your clothes can become invisible. If you choose the power of flight, you can go a max of 1000 mph and carry a max of yourself

Just fyi, in Paris you can get an MRI (they call it an IRM)(or a CT Scan) at a private clinic with fairly-modern e.g: GE machines (don't know how old) for 180 euros (including an assessment by a radiologist). Ahead of an MRI, you addit

This striptease is very frustrating - and makes it difficult to plan purchases or have quality information. I hate the 'leak' marketing strategy, though I know it's probably very effective for Google keeping it in the news&#x

Awesome project, thank you!! It would be helpful if the creators listed the latest version number on their site so folks don't need to install it to see if it's e.g: version 23.0 or something else. FYI: the latest version seems to

This was a list of companies provided by Anandtech in its reporting. I just found it amusing that it happened to be a pattern in this set of data. Apologies!!

As an American living in Paris, I'm of mixed minds. I agree that France's protectionism is highly problematic and off the charts -- however, there's no-denying that their protectionism of Paris retail stores succeeds -- it cr

I also think of this in terms of viable development migration paths: For example, 9.3's upcoming: hstore_to_json(hstore) and hstore_to_json_loose(hstore) open up possibilities. If an hstore datatype is chosen now, you can feel fairly c

Hmm. the location seems to be here: http://goo.gl/maps/PMUSl on the outskirts of Tokyo. I'm not sure why it's significant.. Is the ruby language going to be maintained in github in 4 days? (just a total guess).
