Tomato, tomahto. It's the same thing if you really take the time to think about it. The only difference is in the implied value judgment.

Has nothing to do with race inherently, and everything to do with history. Let's see the countries you listed: USA South Africa Jamaica Haiti Brazil Now, what do all five of those countries have in common, historically?

The visible fly in the ointment is looming confusion over internet ports and AV ports since they use the same connector.[1] No no no. This new method puts both on the cable simultaneously.

Its a pretty awesome place -- I'm about to graduate CMU undergrad and I'm not planning on leaving anytime soon. If I do it will probably be out of the country before somewhere else in the states.

Relativity started with "what if we thought about it this way?". Just saying.

Good fiction doesn't need to 'make sense' either. Of course, what qualifies as 'good' is subjective, and to get a little meta, fiction doesn't make sense - we make sense of fiction, just as with life. See also: religion vs. science.

You need to read more fiction :).

Laser still works on male facial hair. I've considered it myself to the point of getting a consultation and there aren't any problems. The thing with laser is that it's technically (according to the FDA) laser hair reduction . When you z

I've decided that the splurge method is the way to go. I spent almost $3000 on this machine 2 years ago, and it has yet to even flinch at any of the new games or software I throw at it. Much better than buying a new $1000 system every yea

How disappointing to read in the Texas study that "there was no evidence linking technology immersion with student self-directed learning or their general satisfaction with schoolwork." When devising ways to beat school policing software,

Imagine if there was a method of notifying facebook that members are dead. Now imagine the sheer insanity that would result from random people 'deadifying' their friends as a practical joke. Even if it was 'verified' by humans at some poi

I'm not sure that English-speaking (and similar languages) people think in a background voice, but rather that we think in meaning and the meaning is echoed back in the mind as English words (or whatever language). For example, there's a

Flex 4 is pretty interesting -- they separated layout from the core of container components. So for example in XAML you have Grid, Canvas, Stack, etc. In Flex 4 you just have Group, which then has a layout property -- there's a few basic

That's why I like binding in Flex -- making something bindable is as simple as plopping [Bindable] in front of it. And binding also isn't all or nothing, you can easily do something like text="{loan.interestRate}%" . It also has code com

I like C# but XAML drives me nuts. Getting binding to work is like pulling teeth. I've taken to prototyping stuff in Flex because MXML binding is ridiculously simpler, although there's a bunch of C# stuff I'd love to get back...

From the perspective of a text-based language that would make sense, but its completely inapplicable to a visual programming language. The IDE is the language. Printing/sharing/quoting would need to be features of the IDE and the langua

You can't effectively print out the code. It's hard to blog and hard to quote snippets from. To refactor you have to manually rearrange icons; there's a lot of time wasted laying things out. There's no way to use version control or create

My friends and I have been contemplating doing exactly that: there are countless jobs where someone who is good with google is going to be better than someone with a degree but who isn't good with google.

Counting pregnant sheep differently wouldn’t help me tell whether or not all sheep are back in the pen at the end of the day and that’s the whole point of the statement. I’m not making a moral statement about whether or not unborn sheep co

Consider the similar task of counting humans. The American constitution originally considered Native Americans as equivalent to 3/5 of a person. We now count them as a full person. What changed other than perspective/brain state? Even wi

I'm not sure post-modernism advocates any kind of 'giving up' -- otherwise no one would bother with all that effort of writing laboriously long and dauntingly opaque essays on why we should all just give up. Why not call the statement true?
