Personally, I feel like there is a stage in life where things should be free or cheaper. I would not be the person I am today if it weren't for torrents and Usenet. Seriously. Today, I am happy to compensate all writers, artists, progr

Ah RadioShack, where I acquired Jazz Jackrabbit and a circuit board toy with my dad. It's sad that RadioShack isn't as fun as I remember it being, but last time I was in I saw a similar circuit board toy which is nice. It's a

All human languages consist of syntax and phonetics. Programming languages act as an intermediary between human intelligence and machine intelligence. We almost always require the language aspect of programming to communicate with computer

This is absolutely terrifying and ridiculous. This basically feels like a cultural whiplash towards women for even thinking of not succumbing to the will of the patriarchy, the only option being the stay-at-home wife, as in: women need to r

Wow, I haven't read the article but I must say that I am very impressed with its organization and presentation of ideas/data.

Also worth a read: http://kk.org/thetechnium/2008/10/evidence-of-a-g/ Too much emphasis is usually placed on the "consciousness" part of general intelligence.

I suppose this is a good place to ask. Does anyone have a preferred system of shorthand? I've always wanted to learn shorthand because my thoughts sometimes escape me when I am writing. I haven't taken the step beyond choosing a s

I just want to take a moment to re-affirm that A Mind Forever Voyaging is a great piece of Sci-Fi.

Be careful when backstabbing, it is not a good mid or opening tactic. It can be effectively used less than once per game since it is far more important to be honest and earn the trust of everyone. Information and trust are key, not just con

In my opinion Diplomacy is a game well suited for correspondence gameplay. Not only is it difficult to get all the players to commit the necessary time on a day everyone is available, but it is also much more fun since you can plan your mov

A little vague. Do you have any sources to further explain this communication technique? It is my experience that "madness" adds a layer of abstraction that is almost unique to the single person, and when that person expresses any

Reminds me of the skimmers in Blindsight by Peter Watts. Available here: http://rifters.com/real/Blindsight.htm for anyone interested in a great sci-fi read.

As far as a contrarian article, I cannot find one. The NPS wont release any of their numbers for missing persons within their parks, so the only information people have to go on is found in individual cases. Some of these cases date back to

Check out some books on NLP. Fun. Systematic. And others can be better just by being around you. I recommend Sleight of Mouth to start. You can skip Mindlines, I can't tell if sections in that book are bad writing or not.

God I hate how much that can be perceived as an animal welfare issue. Not "Oh fuck, there are groups of people on Earth in danger of going extinct."
