There are whole varieties of fungi being used as natural flavouring, for instance in yogurts to give them the natural flavour of apple, vanilla, strawberry, pineapple, etc A couple of PDFs on the subject: * http://wsmbmp.org&#x2F

I find it frightening that people's livelihood is subjected to the whims of their boss to such extent. If anything, a justifiable reason as to why you are fired should be mandatory. You don't have to be a 'protected' min

I wonder what are the risks associated with downloading and sharing such torrents. Evidently, anyone getting them becomes a highly visible target and once the content of these torrents is known, you could become involved in the distribution

Invoking Godwin's law is a bit easy. Not every reference to Hitler deserves to be struck down by it. What is happening in Russia is truly frightening and not necessarily that different in many respects to what happened in the 1930s: bl

Instead of boycotting, I would advocate for subversion. The Games have been a platform for highlighting social issues before: get on that platform and show that gay and lesbians can be winners too and that other athletes support their pligh

I suppose the point was to show that it's pretty bad to resort to copy/pasting clever bit hacks into libraries without taking care of how they work. The fact that the code isn't necessarily obvious makes me think that whoever

You must be something right when you attract that much dedicated attention... I'm surprised at how personal these attacks are. Is it that common for public security figures to be at such risk ?

Or we've been going at this for way too short a time to be able to draw definite conclusions. There are hundreds of plausible reasons why, if there is life outside, we haven't been contacted. Maybe they know about us but we'r

Xamarin tools are built around the idea that the core of every application tend to be platform independent and so could be written in C# (or F#). This gets compiled into native code on some platforms (iOS). Their approach is to build native

Maybe I'm mistaken, but the historical bias fat=healthy seems to be visible there. It's doubtful that by eating only vegetables they could be 'fatter' than those who drank and ate rich foods. It's obvious the writer

One way to counter browser fingerprinting could be to add a plugin that simply report random data when queried. This would invalidate the hashing. Of course, if the plugin is well known, it could be removed by the fingerprinting code, unles

There is always going to be an issue of trust at some point: the linux code base is public, but almost none of us compile linux and the packages we need to build a complete OS from source. We end-up getting pre-built packages from repositor

Judging by the budgets of the army and law enforcement against the various wars, abroad and local (drug enforcement for instance), I doubt that a lot of these robots will find their way in the underfunded fire stations or emergency services

This looks like what a good web designer with little knowledge of actual accounting requirements would do. Not what I would expect from a company specialising in accounting software. It makes me seriously doubt that they can actually fi

Same for the 7M+ inhabitants of Hong Kong: no-one uses postcodes, and it becomes really bothersome when most websites asking for your address insist on you entering one...

ahh, the joy of Z80 assembly. Such fond memories I had of hacking at my Laser 200[1], bought with my own money (I didn't have enough to buy a Thompson MO5[2], I was only 13 at the time). You had to plug it into the TV, there was no way to r

Could you care to clarify which countries in Europe do that? Never heard of that before. Just to clarify something: the OP appears to be Rory Blyth, ex-Microsoft employee, living in Portland, OR, and American if I'm not mistaken.

While the Marquis de Sade had an unusual penchant for buggery (which was illegal at the time) and blasphemy (also illegal), he himself was certainly not "diseased of the mind". You could consider him an early Libertarian, fighting for fre

It seems incredible that anyone would believe stem cells to be so magical that they could heal psychiatric disorder, even less psychological ones. Are there any studies -even shoddy ones- that would even suggest that? I'm not surprised th

True but that doesn't mean there is no place for those who just want to build a small business without having to sacrifice their personal life to it. Decreasing risk is also beneficial to society at large if a larger portion of people are a
