well, for a start.. Dutch men are among the tallest in the world[1].. and taller people have different health risks[2] (higher cancer, lower heart disease). So.. I dunno but I like cycling to work anyway :) [1] http://www.bbc.co

In the UK at least, you can buy electricity from different suppliers though it all comes through the national grid and there is no difference between the electrons of course. The supplier you buy from is responsible for generating enough ca

We could tax use of fossil fuels. That means direct consumption, if you drive a car, or indirect if you buy products shipped on fuel hungry ships, or strawberries flown in from half way around the world, and not least electricity from a gas

What I thought of, when I read that was that perhaps the shrinking is related to reduced blood flow or reduced blood absorption (does blood pressure raise or lower during sleep?) and this is also related to sleep itself, in the same way tha

I don't know about AI but the deep learning algorithms the article mentions can certainly be used for evil purposes. In truth, the people being governed by algorithms need to learn that computer says does not imply correctness and

I don't really understand why she would be considered rude for her comment to the sales assistant "No, I say. Actually, I don’t want to come out". Its a bit of a flat statement. Perhaps saying something that has a subtext (&q

While this judges ruling is patently inapplicable to the EFFs website (different jurisdiction, different rules), I wonder if it could cause problems personally to any of the staff (more likely: the directors) if they wished to visit Austral

Well, I have always done the paper form instead of online (why? I don't know.. but this year will likely be online) and the paper form has your name and address on it, and you only have to change something if it is different.

I think there is a problem defining what is effective when talking about creative work.. I did some contract work a few years ago and while I worked from home and tried to be on task during working hours I was not always at the keyboard

As I understand it, it was not the DT teacher -- the government gave one to every year 7 child for themselves to keep and use however they wish. This is nice in a way but the teachers at my school bemoaned that they couldn't really use

Yes - there are about 160 kids per year group in my school, and I think all year 7's got one (for themselves, not the school)

you can't wire a speaker to an output pin? if I recall on the Apple II, the speaker was a single bit on/off .. I played games that had music playing concurrently with the onscreen action and even speech! I understand about the pic

I work in a school, and I know at least the teachers did get hold of a few before the students did though I don't know what has been done with them so far as I'm not near the ICT dept -- its worth noting that the ones that were gi

This is merely false bravado in this day and age. The police can take your money, if they suspect that it is proceeds of a crime. Lots of money under the bed sounds like proceeds from a drugs deal! You can take a few of them down with you,

Sometimes in other languages, the way that you say something is different. I mean, in the english language and culture I agree your point has some sense but in old Tamil it may need to be described that way because of the language structure
