   while this seems bad, remember the "medical community" gave a go ahead on sticking fluoride in the water supply which actually harms children's brain development. Then there's the whole fats fiasco that went on for deca

   Yeah jpeg2k sucks. It doesn't seem to do anything very well. Design by committee ruined it by making it waay to complex.

   I still keep old wrt54g's around for backup duty. But I really do want a router that's actively kept up to date. Last year i bought a xiaomi mini miwifi (less than 20usd at the time). With openwrt it ran mostly okay but the AC w

   to be robust you need to deal with overflow and underflow and also pesky differences in domain. overflow breaks (x + y) / 2. where x and y are large underflow breaks (x / 2.) + (y / 2.) where x and y are small. and of course

   This is why I'm keen on "fossil scm", especially for small projects. It uses similar syntax to cvs and subversion, but you have a full local copy of the entire repository. The local repository acts as a buffer between the c

    Medical technology and available procedures have exploded in the last 50 years or more. i would like to see a survey of the actual number of invasive medical procedures done per capita today compared with say 1950 and 1900. That includes wh

    and this is a reason why china with the current government can never truly be a world leader in anything: Your entire enterprise can be distroyed at the whim of a few unrestrained individuals. Sort of like apple's app store, but at a

    I personally much prefer the newer thinkpad keyboards to the older one. I however, don't consider either keyboard to be good enough to do serious work on. For that I have a real ergo keyboard and real mouse.

    I live in colorado and it says i would lose money by going solar. Interesting since at costco, etc the solar guys are pushing pretty hard. I've held off so far because I think there's still room for dramatic improvement in solar

    Absolutely utterly agreed. Trying to pull along students who want to fail pulls down the ones who want to succeed. The American dream used to be about letting those who work hard succeed, and letting those who didn't fail. And anyone

    if you work for a large company it isn't taxed. if you work for a small company that doesn't provide insurance it is taxed. lowering insurance and payroll taxes won't increase wages but it will help keep jobs in the US since

    Unforunately its probably because comcast is SOOOO BAD that they feel they can get away with it. And they're right if that's their reasoning.

    sure. more than half the data used in their models is fake made up numbers. Can't trust anything noaa has to say. using non made up temperature data shows we're actually very slightly cooling.

    Stupid. That "fix" artificially kept the US in the doldrums until WWII was in full swing. They should let the bad credit/debt/investment/etc clear itself which should then allow for a healthy recovery. Subsidizin
