If you read the article you'll see that they made that assumption because they wanted a conservative estimate of the population and that's the minimum possible number for a successful species.

I quit using Google a couple of years ago because I was getting way too many results that were SEO optimized with no content. I was also tired of Google manipulating my search terms to provide what it thought were other good things to sear

Did they just remove the Google branding or did they remove the search engine branding? I use Yahoo as my search engine so my button says Yahoo! on it.

Palm also allows you root access on your device so that you can do whatever you want with it. With the new PDK you can use C/C++ (or any language that compiles with the same API) to develop your app and use SDL and OpenGL. With Verizon's

The sim is sometimes faster and sometimes slower. iPad apps using OpenGL are much slower on my MacBook Pro than they are in the simulator.

I don't think patents have to be defended like trademarks and even if they do Apple could definitely license the patents to people who pay for the developer program. I don't think this helps their case against HTC at all.

I think there must be more to this than is in the article. I think some of the Apple sample apps use and I've bought apps that use it. There's no reason for Apple to not want developers to use common gestures. They even made it easier wi

This is the way technology has always progressed. The first cars required extensive knowledge to drive and were completely open to modification. Modern cars don't even allow you to adjust the choke and the gas pedal isn't hooked up to the

I think the comparison between automatic transmissions from 20 years ago and modern ones is a good way to see why the iPad will work well for most people. Old automatic transmissions did have problems when you wanted to accelerate quickly

The free mobile hotspot feature makes Verizon my favorite carrier by far. That and the much better 3G coverage than AT&T make this a great deal even without considering how good the device is. If Palm could just increase the number of

This has nothing to do with Google Maps, it's just a video about how the earth's surface looked from 500 million years ago to today and how someone thinks it will look in 100 million years. Their prediction seems to be today's map with lot

That sounds like it might work. I've also started to consider the Zii Egg as a platform instead of trying for a Tegra based device.

That's also much more complicated and requires equipment, so most people probably wouldn't even try it.

FiOS isn't fiber to the last mile, it's fiber to the home, which is a huge difference. AT&T U-verse is fiber to the last mile and copper the rest of the way and it has nowhere near the same speed.

I use Bing, Google, and Yahoo with good results. I occasionally use Cuil but its results are usually not very good.

Why do you think no one else can get search right? Have you used other search engines recently? Years ago Google had better results but now I don't really notice a difference in the quality of my results.

The problem with accidentally pulling in libraries seems unavoidable with Homebrew since it uses /usr/local. Is the lack of sandboxing what you think makes it better? This seems like exactly what you should be looking for. While I agree t

The title here and the quote at the bottom of the page say that it's better than MacPorts but there doesn't seem to be any comparison between them other than that. The only thing I've seen people use to say that it's better is that it's wr

Is there a reason you picked Python? Python seems like a bad language for comparison since so much of it is checked at runtime. It seems like Coq or Agda would be a superior choice for writing laws in.

This might not be possible if Toyota doesn't own all of the code. If they're using any third party code they might not have the rights to release it.
