Upvoted for recognizing that the melody is the same as in 'Heart & Soul' but the 'boom de yada' melody is also in 'Heart & Soul' as harmony. Well, it's technically not harmony (my music theory is a little shaky) but it's in the ba

It's more believable that a hormone would work across all social situations than a few specific ones. It's easier for a hormone to have a broad effect than a narrow one. A narrow effect requires a much finer tuning of the neural circuits'

The information density of video is generally too low for me. I wish there was a text-based version of this.

Ohh! I didn't know that. Actually, that would be really awesome if more sites did that. I usually ctrl+ = my browser to reduce eyestrain, and a lot of graphics look ugly that way.

Is flash really the only good language to write web games in? I started writing a game in Love/lua, which is really great. But you can't write web games in it, as far as I know. Any other options?

You should e-mail the corresponding author and ask them to send you a .pdf. It helps if you claim to be at a university from a poor, developing country and your library doesn't have any subscriptions. Some authors will also have the .pdf

I think many colleges will indeed disappear. It's only natural that the college bubble will burst as the number of 4 year colleges has exploded in the last 50 years. But I think universities will be relatively safe; at least the big, pres

Like if you were separating uranium 235 from 238 and were planning to carry around the 235 suspended in water like you did with the primarily 238 mixture...

It's very awesome. One thing that would be very cool... is regex support? :D But barring that, a "contains" box. I.e. if I don't care if the website starts with cat or ends with cat, as long as cat is in there somewhere.

First of all, I don't think it's out of line to generalize for purpose of those that might think of doing something like this. Secondly, she thought it was cool, but from the way she typed this it's apparent that she wasn't that into the gu
