I'm pretty sure the MSL team is a different team than the ones managing the DNS servers, and expertise in one area doesn't transfer to another automatically. Maybe they do have some reason why it would be difficult to add a CNAME, maybe not

No, unfortunately it doesn't work like that. It's not like the big bang took place "within space" -- like a grenade in the center of a stadium, but the bang is the rapid expansion of space(-time) itself. So, the universe could have even b

Now that it's official, I hope that the documentation gets the attention it needs. Congrats!

Here's the best explanation that I've seen: http://www.reddit.com/tb/fjym4 And what do you mean "spacetime doesn't necessarily have to obey"?

I think this could work for a lot of games, but I'm skeptical that it would work for quick twitch games (eg FPS) because of latency issues.

How much will it cost in my local grocery store? Will it be cheaper than regular (non-fancy/organic/free range) chicken by the pound and by the calorie? Does it have all of the same amino acids that chicken has in close enough to the same

Update : Grocklaw now links directly to the PDF: http://www.groklaw.net/pdf3/OraGoogle-1202.pdf Someone linked to this in the groklaw comments: http://www.scribd.com/zdnetrachel/d/95477548-Oracle-v-Google... I assume this is legit.

Keep in mind, this is still just a test. If they get off the pad without exploding that's awesome, getting to orbit is super awesome, and actually reaching the ISS is simply amazing.

That says "Faq". Notice how the loopy part of the descender goes to the right. I don't know why it's lowercased.

I'm surprised that copyrightability of APIs is still an open question in (US) law. Is that because people haven't copied each other's APIs before, or because when they did nobody cared about the legality?

Firefox has a little middle ground where you can use specific versions outside of the fast release cycle and still get security updates. At least that's the plan. https://wiki.mozilla.org/Enterprise/Firefox/ExtendedSupport:... You don't

Maybe you've had different experiences, but I've had very few problems with forward compatibility in all of the major browsers (IE/FF/Chrome), and I don't know why that would change going forward. Actually, I'd go so far as to say that if

The DIY stuff that I've read recommended a max of only one or two 20 minute sessions per week. Even if it increased what you could learn by 2.5x, that only buys you at most 1 hour (effective) per week. I don't see how that's worth the ris

I agree that Dyson is the Apple of vacuums, but it's funny because I come to a different conclusion. Sure, they're over hyped, but they also make top-tier products. I hated buying vacuum bags and have been happy with the performance of my

To focus on restaurant behavior, I'd be curious to know how much time the average French person spends at the table in a day, compared with the average American. I'm sure it varies a lot from family to family, but it seems like Americans (
