And you should avoid dangling prepositions. You should avoid dangling prepositions if you are speaking in Latin. Then again if you are speaking Latin, ALL dangling prepositions will intuitively sound so wrong that you'll never make them.

The link is actually "geeks with an agenda", which is a decent description of an Aspie looking for UFOs.

Well due-diligence seems to have been an issue in individual cases. But overall they seem to have missed two fundamental problems. 1. Manufacturing parts and then selling them throughout the life of the aircraft model has a high margin of p

one doesn't spend the kind of effort they've spent without a goal. Never credit to malice what can be explained by incompetence. I personally believe that pretty much all democratic governments are slipping towards fascism, not because an

Life expectancy was only 35 because of infant mortality. Once you grew up, people tended to live almost as long as we do today. And medical care is not by any means new. Cesarean section is named after Cesar, and it was a well established m

Louis CK is hilarious, but this guy is not an asshole. Dying, aging, being sick, drinking, eating and breathing pollution are not trivial problems. We ought to demand solutions for them.

As amazing as many of this we have are, we should never lose the hunger to solve any of the 25 listed reasons. They are real and they are serious.

The rub for women in computer science is that the dominant computer science culture does not venerate balance or multiple interests. Instead, the singular and obsessive interest in computing that is common among men is assumed to be the ro

You don't need to. By ignoring or laughing at their juvenile antics, and by not engaging them as adults, you win. I have to disagree. You would win if your position was not absurd. But if you, like Scientology, or for that matter politics

Everyone on TV crying sure seems like it would be super annoying. But I find the notion that journalist should, or even indeed ever could, be 100% objective and impartial - silly. Silly and most prevalent in America. Curiously also in Ameri

You can do MUCH better building for yourself. Sadly, some of us don't have the time.

I specifically wanted a hardware RAID and only Alienware had it. But I usually also do not scan Ebay for anything.

Sometimes during the initial phase of building a product YOU realize you're on the wrong road and it's actually faster to toss out what you've got and start over. But what if it is years later, and you are gone and it's up to some new g

I love the fact that they are trying to make it cheap, it does not have to be perfect if it's cheap. Even if it looks as bad and is small as princes Lea's hologram, if it's cheap enough, I and every star wars fan will buy one.

This is genius! But accidentally genius! The author starts off well, makes an important point about stock picking never being better then a random walk and then.... picks stocks. Pure genius! It shows you in a true, completely unintentional

Many, many, many years ago only really tough guys had tattoos, almost exclusively sailors and former or current prisoners. Today teenage girls go to the tattoo shop together with their moms. If you get a tattoo today, it just means you want

Could you live with yourselves if the company made WAY more from your app then they paid you for it? If yes, then sell. I'd just ask for the number that would buy me freedom. And if they gave me that, I'd happily sell.And I wouldn't care h

Not to mention it actually costs less to buy a bushel of corn than it does to produce it !... but... but... but that's not a reason to use all that "surplus" cheap corn to make ethanol. It's a reason to stop subsidizing corn.

When I say "artificial" what is mean is that if for example a turn-around CEO and/or team is compensated partly or largely in stock options then they can decide the best way to raise the stock price is not to grow sales and profits but to s

Actually the exact opposite of a banana republic. A banana republic depends on bananas or some other cash crop. The US dos NOT depend on corn. Quite the opposite, it uses tax revenue from OTHER profitable sectors of the economy to subsidiz

Since the SAT[1] is a glorified IQ test[2] The SAT is a wonderful test for memorization. Also how much time you spent studying, almost as if its a... scholastic test. It it's relationship to IQ is extremely vague.
