For those who haven't seen it, I highly recommend this video on liquid-fluoride thorium reactors (LFTR): https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=... ! I passed the video by my uncle who was an expert/engineer dealing wi

Where do I file a bug report? The date of "Frodo & Bilbo's birthday" was actually given in the book as September 22nd. In my file it's 09/14.

So even though for me it was a one-shot deal, I had plenty of time (I was moving) and it made sense for me to get their 'Platinum Membership' which includes many of the extras -- for a few months - which covers 100 sets for free each month.

drop.io probably started the trend. They were technical finalists at south by south west in 2007.

I hope innovations like this could reduce the price of book scanning. I recently used a book service in San Jose to scan all my books: http://1dollarscan.com . It was good experience, with good support, but a bit pricey with their extras.

Unimportant? It's probably good for their SEO :).

Easy. The question is ambiguous and everyone else here isn't being particularly creative, yet. Is the empty room inside e.g: a space station or a rocket? Am I a robot or an alien? Does the undergarment contain any wearable electronics with

I think, non-dramatic european response may, in-part, be due to comparatively sparse product options on Amazon's european stores compared to its US .com offerings. I have used Amazon.fr while in Paris and have been disappointed by the limit

To get a sense of it, I downloaded it from a link here. Below is the structure of the first few lines. Caveat: it's garbage/useless data below -- I intentionally changed around the actual numbers to give a sense of the structure, only: 0000

The perfect match might be my friend Mike's awesome and free open source project: He's improving it all the time and would welcome contribution: http://courtlistener.com It originated as a graduate school project of his at the UC Berkeley

I just researched it and fair enough! Though you can easily find cheaper prices if you're not a bulk customer, you may be right on bulk. Ok, then I guess he just doesn't care that he's supporting an ethically-challenged company that has sup

The article says he claims that he sometimes buys domains via GoDaddy. Why would he use GoDaddy since he can get them from cheaper (and more-ethical) domain name registrars than GoDaddy?

90% of the 8 billion dollar world-wide market for academic research is paid for by library subscriptions. There is a serious problem here, indeed. Some excellent facts and recommendations were posted in this report. It was written by the As

It's a nice gesture by Foster, for sure, but she'd have better used her money on other space projects. The Alan Array of the Seti Institute will only be of much use if they can build out to 350 Arrays from the current 42. Supporting just $2

Minnesota signed into law that cars should require 20% ethanol (I think federal law requires 10%): Source: http://www.mnsu.edu/news/read/?paper=topstories&id=old-1... Anyone here good with changing laws? :)

The article and its implications is worth reading in its entirety. Corn-based ethanol is a farm subsidy, an inefficient energy solution, and it's bad for the environment (corn is grown as a monoculture) and its growth takes up a lot of wat

I agree with you, however.. you'll notice that it currently only has a loopback device (try "ifconfig"). It would help if there were network adapters, first :).
