I agree with your larger lesson, but it's worth noting that you don't get feedback about your answers being right or not until the end when no further answers are required, so the captain did not have empirical evidence of Linda&#

I would love to have the app which they talk about in this paper on my phone. I suspect that people would pay good money for this.

I may be in the minority, but I actually like the fact that when I look at cameras on amazon, I see adverts for lenses and tripods and cool flashes. It's nicer (imho) than just seeing "get this weight loss pill and lose pounds!&qu

Don't know about the OP, but I took an evening woodworking course at a local college. 24 weeks, 1 hour a week, £129.99. When I left, I felt like I could build anything (I was wrong - but that's a whole nother story).

With some anecdotal evidence: my nephews autism (two nephews) have been improved (the symptoms lessened) by putting them on something called the "GAPS diet" for the past few years, moving them from pretty much being locked in a wo

I've always understood the statement "The US has no culture" as meaning that the speaker thought the citizens of the US weren't "posh enough" in some manner or other. I imagined it was probably something terrib

"An application should respond with a generic error message regardless of whether the user ID or password was incorrect." I really don't like this advice (although I see why they put it in there). I often use different email

Now if the vending machine were to deliver an electric charge sufficient to be classed as a shock, or injure the buyer sufficiently so that they didn't die outright, but instead went into shock, then I think it could be classed as art
