It made me cringe to watch that. This isn't the first time I've come across this. There are plenty of such people going around deluding themselves and their "students" (or maybe they're just liars). Youtube has several such examples.

Well I'm glad to see the end of that. Its quite possible some courts (judges/juries) would not have grasped the true ramifications of this claim and may have opened a can of worms.

With math, the one thing that works best is practice. Get some high-school math books and start solving problems. Solve all of them, then get yourself another textbook and solve the problems there.

I'm not a physicist, this is what i understand : They've found that very quick heating of a magnetic dipole can cause it to flip. Currently this is flipping is done by a magnetic head (in hard disk drives). Since bursts of infra red light c

Update: I tried to find some more info but unfortunately it looks like the original paper is behind a pay-wall. Here are some related links : http://www.psi.ch/media/using-heat-for-storing-data http://www.york.ac.uk/news-and-events/news/

I'd like to check it out but it asks me to download java which I already have. However the java plugin does not show up in FF for me. Any idea how to enable it and could you include those instructions too ? Thanks.

Good effort! It looks neat but please can you do away with a twitter sign-in ? Some of us do not have or wish to use a twitter account to log in. Why not have a guest login for demos. Thanks.

I wonder if these smaller, indie bookshops would benefit by being a bookshop+cafe . A place you could grab a coffee and snack while catching up on reading or news. There was this very nice place back where I went to grad school. Old used bo

I think you're being a bit harsh and missing something here. Creating a wonderful vacation and memories for your family is priceless. And as seems to be the case, he is paying off his debt on a schedule and is not over his head. I'm pretty

I can confirm that the python subprocess api is a pain to use and also documented poorly. I recently had to use (no choice) python 2.5.x to write a script that extensively called external programs and ran into several problems. It strange t

I found the Popular mechanics article linked to in the OP well written and far more interesting. One of my family is a retired pilot so I'm gonna show him that article. The sad thing is, if they had gotten the captain into the cockpit a cou

I wonder if these can be considered the next generation of underwater gliders. There was a very interesting program on them recently - either on PBS or Discovery, can't recall exactly. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Underwater_gliders One

Interesting. I'm not sure if this is a good sign since it can be a bloat indicator. Certainly most of it should be due to drivers being added. What I'd like to see is the size of the core kernel bits for say x86 or x86-64 only (i.e. with dr

IMO - there is something here, at least with respect to handhelds/mobile devices the user experience is what counts. However things such as battery life still matter since they directly tie in with user experience. Also processor specs coul
