Get a moped. Safer than your pushie if your lacking the infrastructure, the only reason riding a bike is so dangerous anyway is the amount of cars on the road. Notice that basically all the cars on the road have 1 person and 4 empty seats e

Apart from a few things here and there from places like stack overflow (and of course new libraries), all of my python learning happened buried head first in their official documentation and that tutorial. I'm only starting to realize,

Geo is really really freaking far out compared to LEO. There are to-scale images floating around that really put it in to perspective.

Did you stumble on to the final scene of "A Star is Born"? I wonder how many films end with people wading in to the surf to take their own life...

I'm mostly poking fun at the way it was written :) From the write up that was posted here weeks ago, it looks like the technology is really really interesting, but not for the reasons this author thinks. projection through optics isn&#

I've always wanted to get in to some regular in person gaming like this with friends, my circles are just a little too small and disconnected to sustain it though. I think I might start trying to be the organizer more, it might just be

That makes sense, easy to forget they are sometimes called on to be highly skilled/paid lab rats at times :)

Competitive only in the sense of having interesting, non-standard games (that weren't a face roll) at nothing really higher than Friday meetups at the games shop, sorry if that wasn't clear. Anyone can fork out for the latest comp

My biggest problem from a couple years back was just one kid who's parents dropped like $600 on his deck and just played to be smug about his 30 damage turn 3 on friday nights. I've always loved trying to make competitive decks wi

Wasn't this solved by the vacuum weight set shown on smarter every day? They use a piston in a vacuum with an adjustable pivoting arm to produce consistent resistance (a spring will provide more resistance as it is compressed or stretc

I think text is too high of a concept for this kind of thing, all your examples of senses are really just input memory. Text to a computer is simply input and can mean different things in different contexts. Is the binary string coming out

I thought most of that jump was made in the sandybridge iteration and the rest have mostly been gains power efficiency. Maybe I just don't push my gen 4 enough to notice the difference from my old gen 2.

Yes, thank you, my reply was tongue in cheek. Though some other comments I think mentioned that it probably wouldn't be too dangerous to allow the occasional stroll through the greenery. Doesn't sound too far fetched if you consid

Hahaha, I was thinking specifically of the labor civic that you can adopt as a nation.

I don't think it's as clear as you're making it out to be. Any kind of targeted content grooming is inevitably going to form a bubble of advertising and news that, according to the algorithm, fits your profile the best. Is th

Are there many more studios outside of Blizzard that are developing for OS X? I hadn't realized there were more devs working with it. Every other game I know of that has Mac support is usually running in some WINE equivalent which isn&

Absolutely, even third person RPGs probably wouldn't suffer too badly.

This is pretty cool to see! I personally don't think it will catch on too wildly in my circles, 40-80ms of input delay is not a trivial number, and in the video footage you can see it clearly. It definitely found a niche in this guy th

Isn't that the point though? By definition, that leaves the vast majority of the school to be papered and connected (or at least able to pay). Scholarships are exactly the minority in this case. (I understand we're trying to dispe

I thought the point was that it benefited Strumpf's pocket by falsely inflating share value, not necessarily the bank.

When the tree is decomposed by bacteria and fungus, most of the sequestered carbon is released back in to the atmosphere. Sorry for the vague wording :)

Too bad they're only good for about 30 years or so before falling over and leaking it all back out again, and nobody is going to be seeing it as good RoI to bury them in the ground unfortunately.

Yeah, it's technically here with media servers too but the barrier for entry is still higher than your average Joe will bear. The idea of an out-of-the-box solution has been tossed around here a few times I think; a little server that
