   While I'm running on AWS I strongly support a push for interoperability and freedom from lockin. We'll just have to see what kind of adoption this project gets.

   I really think they include that to have an on-phone equivalent to the itunes store. But I agree that it should be removable. You can't remove the Facebook app either.

   I don't know the context of the Gell-Mann quote, but having heard Gell-Mann talk about Feynman, it seems more likely to me that that is Gell-Mann's description of how Feynman imagined the Feynman algorithm.

   I just mean that you said you are very active, so you maybe able to build on one of those specific activities. For example there are people who design artificial waves for surfers. This involves a lot of optimization work, But of course you

   I have only fired up lilypond a couple of times, but I have to say I am very impressed by this open source project. It obviously aims to be best in category.

    I think you'll find this same problem with all of the high paid (physical) jobs, unless you invent the next macarena or something.

    I think one of the authors has an interesting point about the different expectations in different classes (etc.). As a physics undergrad and grad student we were always permitted and encouraged to work on our problem sets together. Most of

    Are you somehow only limited to the headers or simply only using the headers? 3rd party access (beyond the email provider) to someone's entire mailbox seems like a hard sell. The product sounds compelling, but I'd be much more inclined if i

    My research group has been doing HPC type stuff on EC2. In fact the press release copy for this sounds almost exactly like what we've been writing when trawling for cash. Of course Amazon also gave us a grant (in AWS credits), so maybe we s

    I think much of what he wrote is good advice for doing a PhD. That being said,I would recommend avoiding an advisor with this kind of attitude if at all possible. Despite what he says, he sounds like many professors who focus on the reputat

    I have been trying to come up with a concept for this bias for a while for a certain case. The argument is that the earth has the "perfect" conditions for life. Any deviation would result in a planet devoid of life, thus only an intelligent

    I personally find asking questions more nerve racking than giving a talk. With a talk I've probably practiced it 20 times and have pretty pictures to help illustrate my points. For questions you have to think rather quickly to make yourself

    I got "Western", even though I'm from the Midwest. It says: If you really want to sound "neutral," learn how to say "stock" and "stalk" differently. I actually associate that with a more East coast accent.

    Really comes down to a matter of definitions. For example, many would claim that atheism is simply the lack of a belief. Some would define agnosticism as the positive belief that the existence of God cannot be known. But these are just exam

    I've always seen terms like alternative, complementary, or integrative medicine as akin to the terms creation science and intelligent design. Basically, designed to present a false dichotomy of equals with the legitimate paradigms.

    Another thing to look for: I believe homeopathic remedies are not regulated the same way by the FDA as conventional drugs, so some medicines will even claim to be homeopathic when they "aren't" purely for regulatory (and possibly marketing)
