_Everyone_ is collecting our data nowadays. Who's left to sell it to?

They should make the scale of ``lightness'' by creams too; i.e. 1 cream, 2 cream, etc. and by roast as well. At least...that's what I would do if I knew enough LaTeX to write a package.

Love it! Any thoughts on supporting different shades too? I like extra cream.

I'll approach this from a different direction. I currently work cleaning a meat room in a local market; machines,floors, scraps and such. It's a dirty job. But if I could have any job in the world, it'd be what I spend every

What's that rather straight `rod`-like protrusion to the lower-left? Looks like some kind of antenna.

Makes a lot of common sense. The more I read about stuff like this the more ``common-sense" Nature seems. I mean, having this near- or far-future predictive ability gives a species a real advantage among others that don't.

I like this comment. Honestly it makes sense; that is not to say that philosophy doesn't have a place in science, but I would liken it to writing a website in assembly as opposed to JS, etc.

Now I wonder what would happen to our time complexities if we were near a black hole...

The nonsense that looms in this story's wake is sickening. I couldn't even finish the article. It's nothing more than an attention-grabber. Funding comes from public support, so as long as astronomers and writers capture the

I'm tired of hearing about every little thing MIT does. Good for you! Great!

This is neat. I can't wait to give it a try

Please excuse my ignorance in this area, I was just wondering - why does it matter so much who has the biggest and baddest supercomputer? Shouldn't that which we process on them matter more? A while back I recall reading rumors that Ch

They're dropping for various reasons, I'm sure. But first and foremost because a bachelor's degree isn't worth anything anymore. Both my sister and my father have Bachelor's degrees and my dad's a janitor and m

My mother is an adjunct math professor at three universities in the Western NY area. She teaches 7 classes to support the family while she's also going for her PhD (she's got like a 3.98 GPA or something btw). The thing that gets

Damian is using cutting edge equipment and processing software, so it's no wonder he's got such great results. Many times it's more about the equipment than the observer; give an observer the necessary tools and they shall do

I read that book recently. It was alright, seemed a bit far-fetched to me, however. I mean, obviously we're moving along at a fast pace, but by the time just _some_ of us (let alone _all_) experience the author's projections we&#x

I don't think there's a reasonable explanation. While it's not totally chaotic, I think a lot of it is just politics and reputation. After all, there are plenty of names in programming, mathematics, physics, and even journali

I think this would be a cool project for someone who wants to fiddle with a desktop "super"-computer with multiple nodes. I've been interested in getting started or exploring with this kind of distributed computation, and I&#

I agree. It'd be great to have more frequency bands, but if we're all on the same wifi, what if someone starts downloading obscene amounts of data?

Their site says it's a catalog of "the active human-made machines that freckle our solar system and dot our galaxy." Obviously it's not really the "galaxy," per se, considering we only have one probe that'

I bought a $50 1TB HDD from Newegg for my gaming desktop (which I of course do not use for gaming) about 6 months ago. I've looked again and they're the same price. It appears SSDs are still hundreds of dollars for the same capaci

I used to have roommates that were intense gamers (blew thousands of dollars on new GPUs and other desktop gaming parts per semester) and all they talked about were SSDs. SSDs are pretty big in gaming.
