   I'm sorry but that was a load of horse-sh*t. Meaningless.

   Common sense still has to be scientifically tested.

   Others have mentioned that you should be more descriptive about your product. I have another suggestion: The name and design of the site are at odds. Either change the design (show an increasingly full plate of cupcakes?) or the name. A gre

   I own an Onyx Boox M92. It is a great device. I read tons of PDFs on it. One issue is their choice of connector: they ship with USB mini connections, which are prone to stop working. Another is their web browser: it is unusable. I'm re

   The name will be decided by an international vote. Ununpentium just means "115th element". http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Systematic_element_name

   This is due to politics. If the chief editor of Journal A likes the prefix nano, you'll see nano in the titles. Then journalists read the abstracts, write a story and proliferate the use of the word. This is not _exactly_ how it goes,

    I've always assumed that the green light on the Apple laptops is hardwired to light up when the camera is in use. Is it so? Can it be bypassed without opening the screen?

    Original content: http://www.collective-evolution.com/2013/05/28/nasa-admits-t... Really poor article, don't bother. The impression I got is that this is made up crap to lure us to the site and try to ex

    My only problem with such philosophies is that they tend to ignore human nature. Really nice in theory, but in practice, some thugs will always organize to control the masses. That's a lesson in History, not a dumb statement. One might

    It seems you haven't read Mr. Dawkins yet. Start with "The Selfish Gene", his best IMO. Have fun!

    Offer me such a controller with multi-platform support and I'd buy it at <800$. I think that's a good price to pay to add immersion capability to an Xbox, PC and PlayStation. And I'm not even a gamer anymore.

    There is so little information provided both on the page and in the video that I cannot form a proper judgement. Also, the website design just looks like a scam. What's in it for the owner?

    "The experiment was begun by a colleague of Nobel Prize winner Ernest Walton in the physics department of Trinity in 1944." Am I the only one who finds this insulting? They could at least name the guy!!!

    But that's obvious. The journalistic article isn't worth reading. I don't have access to the real paper, but it should be more interesting and informative.

    “When one of those persons misuses their authority it’s a huge problem.” But of course, this doesn't apply to the Government. Why can't someone in power admit that surveillance has gotten out of bounds, maybe illegally, rather tha

    "For example, conversations which take place over iMessage and FaceTime are protected by end-to-end encryption so no one but the sender and receiver can see or read them. Apple cannot decrypt that data. Similarly, we do not store data

    It's hard to draw the line. Cynically: What part of yourself (or anything else, really) is not the product of billions of year of evolution? To what extent can your actions be considered "original"? Can you prove that all of

    I'm not sure if this answers your question: If an algae produces molecule A, one can determine its structure and (in theory) synthesize it in a lab. Both will be structurally identical. Of course, if the chemist wants to add X or Y moi
