The 9 game grid makes for an interesting game with two people, but the crowd tends to rush for the wrong move. I wish there was a way to explain that you don't need to dive on a move to block the other team as long as you don't le

Can't read: it crashes Safari. Its interesting because it is the only repeatable why I have found to crash Safari on my Mac.

In all seriousness, have there been any good studies of human success rates?

The resolution is given by 1.22λ/NA. λ can be rounded to 500nm and the NA of a standard 20x objective is .4 giving 1.5µm. This is good because I was worried you caught me just making things up for the internet. A 40x with a .65 NA give

Edmund has good prices. That is probably your best bet in small quantities. One of the nice things about ball lenses is that they are made in batches, so large orders scale well.

I always submit bug reports, but I guess I do it for the wrong products. It sounds like MailChip is a solid company, and I have been thinking about putting together a newsletter....

An additional option is to avoid sites that use practices, or a business model you don't like. For example: I like the forecast from weather.com, but they are one of the worst sites I have seen, and heaven help you if you have your spe

This is exactly why the 2100x spec is a bad one. The 1µm resolution they claim is no where near as good as the resolution in the linked 2000x images here.

I think it is a great product, but the numbers are a little misleading. In microscopy the most important number is usually the resolution not the magnification, and 1µm is what you expect from a 20x objective. The 2100x specification doesn&

Legally you may be correct that it is not stealing, but at best you are altering a copyrighted work with out permission. Here there are a lot of web based businesses with money on both sides of the advertising game, so I will actually be

I love Ads. With out them I would have to pay for a lot of the services that I enjoy for free (like google). Some sites are worse than others, and I chose to avoid them rather than stealing their service as you are.

A lot of the reason I use Dropbox is that other people do, so I can share files and folders with it easily. They made a big advertising push earlier, especially in colleges, and got my lab hooked. Based on your recommendation I will look in

Are there any successful, self-taught lockpickers here? I have tried to learn a few times, and I think I understand the theory, but it is hard to put into practice. Every time I need to open a lock I don't have a key for, I still grab

The issue is that Apple's App Store limits the options for a software manufacturer. The App Store is attractive, but it does not give you a path to paid upgrades . They had to choose, and they chose this option.

I agree, people should think of an electric motor oil change more like changing transmission fluid or gear oil than a 3k mile oil change.

The Model S is a great deal compared to similar cars, but this list is just silly. He is an economist that just goes through and picks the highest trim level of 9 different cars, and then decides to compare them based solely on cost to th

Is it legal to sell your iOS promo codes that way? I am sure that is against the terms of service, and to make matters worse those people won't be able to review the game in the App Store.

I think In My Experience (earlier in this thread) is a pretty standard one, but I agree about CHL. Especially since it is Texas specific.

When I got my ticket in PA they had 4 marked cars on rotation pulling people over. Having one guy who is faster in front of you wouldn't help much. I don't think that situation is typical though.

I have heard to just keep you hands on the top of the wheel, and when they ask for license and registration I say "Ok, my license is in my back pocket, and the registration is in the center console. I am getting the license out first.&

You should also know what you can get away with in the area you are driving, and what they use for the traps. In upstate NY I could go 14 over an no one batted an eye, but cars going just a hair faster would get pulled over every time. In P

If you want to complain about foreigners displacing americans I think you would have a better argument with graduate school. At BU more than half of the engineering PhD students are foreign, and that isn't just displacing Americans, it

Things like that only work to a point. I had a good friend who liked to drive fast and had a nice BMW with a purple heart license plate. He got out of a lot of trouble with that, until an incident where they revoked his license, and he cou

A password manager is the exception. I used to discount the idea of a password manager, but now carrying a smartphone all of the time, and a tablet most of the time a password manager makes more sense. The comment is more targeted at people

Part of the problem is that everything wants a strong password, but probably doesn't need it. Your bank, paypal, amazon... passwords should be strong ones, and probably unique. The passwords for random message boards you don't

I have used something like that before too, but it worries me. If I found that password here I would immediately notice that the last two characters stand out, and see the pattern.

As a user it is more reassuring to me if I can identify the business model or the fees involved up front. The FAQ states that the drivers don't pay anything, and the customers pay the drivers directly in cash. That makes me feel like I

Apple gets a lot of crap for censoring their store, but my experience is that they at least provide good feedback when they have a problem with something. With iOS you are usually also safe once it is accepted which is better than finding o
