I had flu-like symptoms for 2-3 weeks in late Jan / early Feb, and you're right, it is not fun at all. I've been thinking about getting the antibody test. Kind of hoping I've already had it. On the one hand would be nice

Thanks, that makes sense, but also makes it even more annoying when default Android apps behave that way. :|

I had forgotten all about COYA books until recently, when I was at a yard sale and found Twist-a-Plot's "Calling Outer Space". I had never heard of it but instantly knew I had to have it as soon as I saw that crazy cover. I

I get that color resolution would be increased, but wouldn't everything viewed get a green/red cast since the amount of blue signal to the eyes is cut in half? You can even see in their sample images that blues become different sh

About 15 years ago, I remember Zikes offering to let me borrow a web development book he had finished reading. I turned down the offer, thinking I had little use for such things. Fast forward 10 years and I end up going back to school for p

Are there any job boards for businesses that would consider hiring felons (or innocent folks waiting for record to clear)? I had no luck finding legit sites with a quick Google search, but maybe others are aware of something? If nothing exi

Right. The son doesn't have to appear in front of his father to benefit from his father furthering east Texas's reputation of being patent-troll friendly.

Thank you so very much for that! I didn't think I was ever going to find the source.

I once turned on the radio right in the middle of an NPR interview with some older sci-fi writer. Unfortunately I couldn't catch the name, which saddens me to this day, but he said something very interesting. The author had been readi

Growing up, I was probably the member of our social group from the most "panicked" home. I am more tempered in my ideas now, but I suppose I still lean that way myself, at least compared to most of the opinions here. However, I

Interesting idea. I wonder how much eye strain there would be? I remember headaches wearing the old colored 3D glasses for to long, but I think that is a larger difference than what you are proposing.
