Well, it could only ever be an approximation because you cannot make pure white light using two wavelengths of light in the real world. Waves of blue light and yellow light (AKAIK) would not be perceived as white by the eye.

But, if you mixed (0, 0, 255) blue and (255, 255, 0) yellow, you get (127, 127, 127) grey. But blue and yellow doesn't make grey in the physical world.

I'm a little dubious about interpolating RGB values in that way -- I don't think averaging the numbers directly maps to the real world colour mixing you'd observe. I'd be interested in what the result is in Lab colour sp

As long as you are not complaining about these people living on state benefits, and not working. I support the use of machinery and robots to replace people, but you also need to right economic and societal structure to make it work. If you

It's a cool machine, and I'd buy a burger from it for the novelty factor, but I'm not sure the economics of it stack up. For each burger sold, the staffing cost is probably no more than 10 cents. This machine would have to be

There is absolutely NO conclusive evidence. Your doctor is not a scientist ( http://www.bmj.com/content/bmj/328/7454/0.9.full.pdf ). It's not up to doctors to decide what works and what doesn't.

And the reason for those restrictions is to protect consumers. If there was evidence that fish oil pills improved health, RB would have paid for the medical research already.

We have odd perceptions of safety. If you look at the website, you'll see the first photo labelled 0.51 for safety. But, honestly, what's the worst that could happen there? There'll be no theft, because there are no houses. T

Well, only 1% of the software "is Christian". The other 99% has already been created in various forms. I'm not criticising the project, I just don't know why he didn't extend existing software, or even fork somethin

I'm not sure we drive any slower in the UK. A residential road is 30mph (very rarely 20mph), country roads are 60mph and arterial and motorways are 70 mph. That seems comparable with speeds in the US.

Would it not have been more efficient to build a plugin for, say, BuddyPress?

As a driver in the UK, I don't understand what exactly the difference between a merge and an overtake is. It is quite common here for roads to change from 2 lanes to 1 lane. There's no signage telling you to merge. There's no

The only thing that went wrong with App.net is that it felt like you had to be part of some inner circle to understand what they were actually doing. Their communication and marketing was, and still is, diabolical. I still have no idea what

Some businesses store their delivery costs at PayPal (by country), rather than on their own servers. Hence, they have to go to PayPal to determine these costs. But then, that's just rather poor implementation on part of the retailer.

It's shouldn't really affect customers in any way. By terms of Express Checkout, after returning from the authorization at PayPal (which is NOT a checkout screen), the business must show the final checkout screen with the finalise

This is how it has always been; it's written in the documentation. I don't personally consider this a bug, since a retailer could feasibly accept a credit card and charge whatever they want to it. The fact the PayPal allows the am

But, it only makes it unbreakable for 50% of passwords? Would it not be better to have an alternating scheme, i.e. MD5 -> SHA1 -> MD5 -> SHA1 repeated 100,000 times, rather than choosing a scheme deterministically at the start.

I've always wondered if this is a sensible way to buy shares. Say I wanted to buy Google shares in the next 30 days. I could monitor the price for the first 36.8%, and then choose the best price in the remainder. Does that make sense a
