In this case the interesting part was that they actually showed that a cellphone can cause interference with some instruments. They dug up some old instruments, put them in a Faraday cage, called a cellphone and the needles in the instrumen

Well, the Mythbusters showed that the reason is that old planes without shielding on their wires and instruments did get interference from cell phone calls[1]. But no modern plane should have that issue. [1] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/My

I think this is a natural progression for many programmers. First learn one language. Then in switching between different ones they learn there are patterns in common. Eventually they can read any language and consciously or unconsciously i

I never quite believed in the 40-hour week. It kills every possibility of doing anything else other than work in your life. I prefer the 36 hour week. Work 6 days a week instead of 5, but get 2 extra hours a day to dedicate to whatever you
