I know nothing about anything on this subject, but could adding downforce (thereby adding friction/grip between the tires and road) help compensate for crosswind? If yes, then surely there must be some reasonable way for a front-end and rea

You're making the assumption that everyone in the world is capable of or would even want to assemble a crude version of the same concept at home. Comparing the resourcefulness or ingenuity of an experienced hacker to that of the product's t

I really don't understand all of the negativity aimed at the 3Doodler. They don't appear to be claiming it's revolutionary, so perhaps everyone could stop acting outraged that somebody had the nerve to put an interesting product in a consum

Yes, feature gaps can be closed quickly. Unfortunately, Square's app has been lacking such basic functionality (as modifiers) for so long, that it raises some legitimate concerns.

I can vouch for this method. I've been coding since childhood and developing websites for the past ~15 years, but I never quite figured out how to get designs in my head on to paper (or into Photoshop). Instead, I spent years designing webs

If they have the ability to add options to an individual product, they're already a mile ahead of Square. Square's biggest oversight with their Register app is that it's completely unusable for things like food orders. You can't add bacon t

Considering that it runs very smooth for me at 1080p using a first generation, low-end quad core and ultra cheap onboard video, I can only assume that you either have a technical issue with your system or you're using a browser that doesn't

The only real point being made was that less intelligent people currently tend to breed more often than more intelligent people, which has potential to lead humanity toward the scenario depicted in the movie. People enjoy it (or at least I

Robotic manufacturing doesn't mean zero labor. There are still many jobs involved that can't be automated. Ford, for example, uses a significant amount of robotic assembly, but still employs over 150,000 people. So yes, it replaces some job

I really wish we could stop having this semantics debate over the word "worthless." When one side says "ideas are worthless," they're saying that they have no quantifiable monetary value until executed. When the other side responds with "id

It's amazing how easy it is for tiny mistakes to result in serious consequences. I have a medical condition that took over two years to officially diagnose. During one of my hospital stays toward the beginning of that ordeal, a doctor had d

I think you are over thinking, overreacting, and being excessively negative, and I don't at all agree with the logic that led you to interpret this as a scam. You're looking at it from the perspective of buying a design that you don't like

It's going to be a great day when our society can finally move past imaginary class systems based on the nonsensical belief that a cut of cloth can be a sign of disrespect or weakness or, frankly, holds any relevance at all. That's the same

I'm not one to defend GoDaddy, but it sounds like you just never did anything with it. If you don't point the domain to a hosting account or change the nameservers, GoDaddy always displays the parked domain page by default. You can turn it

What about situations where lanes have been plowed off-center? Even the most accurate GPS and accelerometers aren't going to help the vehicle understand that the appropriate path has been shifted.

I know it was inevitable, but I find it rather disappointing that exploits have become such big business. I felt like the hacker/cracker community between the late-80s to mid-90s was just that: a community, which likely developed naturally
