Its a pity they didn't give him the Nobel for Medicine while he was alive. He certainly deserved it. (They can't grant it posthumously)

While its true Darwin gets most of the credit, its not as if Alfred Wallace is completely unknown or unsung. I recommend an excellent Nova feature made a couple of years ago called "Darwin's Darkest Hour". Its available to view free right n

I usually read something - book/paper/magazine every day but I find myself using my tablet more and more mainly for reading online articles, blogs, watching videos etc. This takes away from my traditional reading time. Recently I've taken a

Awful, I feel really bad for his family. First he goes missing, then he's suspected (by mob decision) of being a bomber/terrorist, and then they find his body. What a nightmare.

Yeah, House of Cards with Spacey is excellent. I started and liked it so much I finished watching all episodes in 2 days. Its really good to see companies like HBO and Netflix giving the traditional TV media houses a run for their money. B

Would washing them get rid of all the pesticides ? I doubt it. Wouldn't there be some absorption of pesticides into the fruit ?

I dont really care about the anti-corporation aspect of it. In the past, I preferred to buy organic foods in the hope that my overall intake of pesticides would decrease. I was recently dismayed to find that organic foods have known to be

CBS News reports - police confirm (somewhat) that these were bombs and mostly likely planted in Trash cans. Also, it appears at least 1 other unexploded bomb found and disabled by the Boston Police Bomb Squad. (may be more then 1 found)

Just to be clear here : is it that Monster was reporting race to the potential employers or is there something about her name (Yolanda Spivey) that is a give away ?

Very nice video but it makes me sad. It appears there are no places left to discover, to explore. People and cities everywhere.

How is this a good thing for readers and other book retailers ? Will we still be able see links to buy books from a number of different retailers such as B&N or Indigo ? I doubt it.

We use both in our production and staging environment. I've been using both for the last 3 years (5 years for MySql). My opinion at this time is that in 80% of cases MySQL is easier to setup, use and manage.

Interesting read and well written. Unless I missing something those SMSs the prof sent that appear to be referencing drugs are a huge red flag. Either he is unbelievably stupid or was in on it somehow.
