I see anything that ties Go to a specific browser as a bad thing. Surely they should be browser agnostic if they want to encourage universal adoption of their language (or perhaps they don't really care about this)?

That last line is just astounding: The drug that had been “mislabeled” as MDMA and proven so horribly toxic that it had stopped Michael’s study cold; the drug that was far more toxic than actual MDMA, methamphetamine, already was a prescri

This is very interesting to me! I had quite an argument / discussion about this only 2 days ago with my father. He calls it the "Slow Carb" diet and tried to get me to go on it. I had a look around and found that this is the

This is a symptom of an unfortunately very common reaction to system security. Unless businesses are actively encouraging bug hunting, almost unbelievably they will act with a lot of hostility to exposure of weaknesses in their systems and

What happens in the situation when something Watson has "studied" gets proved wrong or inconclusive say 1 year later. Does Watson have a method to discount that and all subsequent chains based on that research?

Sometimes there is a huge financial incentive to avoid making something unprofitably to steal. For example it has long been technically possible to render stolen phones unusable but this has never been done because there is very little fina

So all you have done is try to shoot down the article, without attempting to replace it with any concrete suggestions of your own. Every argument has flaws and costs but you seem to be aiming at "do nothing" or nothing that will

As a complete layman these issues concern me: - How quickly are the diamonds removed from the body? - What is their size compared to the smallest capillaries i.e. any potential for blockages?
