Not exactly. The launch from Vandenberg on April 22 was an HTV-2, which appears to be a weapons test, but a non-orbital one. It was tested on a target in the Marshal Islands. I don't believe the HTV-2 reaches space, and it certainly isn'

I suppose an algorithm that takes a little longer to run might make the user think that the software is doing something more advanced, but that would only apply when the software leaves room for the user to make qualitative judgements about

I thought about this more last night (when I was trying to sleep). I realized that 3D displays don't provide the same feeling of having a 3D object in front of you as the Pcubee does, because you can't change your perspective by simply mov

This is really neat. I imagine there would be uses for this to do object visualization, such as for CAD programs. I wonder how useful that would be to mechanical engineers. Then I got to thinking, could it be used to fit-test parts? It m

If you're interested in this for the sake of software development, you might be interested in the Personal Software Process (PSP). It's an attempt to turn CMMI into a process that an individual software engineer can follow, and it comes fr

I disagree. I think flattery backfires, because most people can detect it. Flattery is what comes out of your mouth if your thoughts are not genuine. Dale Carnegie doesn't promote ignoring people's faults. His book is about how to wor

Much of the advice in this book can be explained by people wanting to feel important. Doing anything that makes people feel less important (criticizing, arguing, saying "you're wrong") doesn't help your situation. Doing anything that make

Actually, Coke's formula isn't patented. Many say it's the best kept trade secret in the world. They keep competitors from copying them by keeping their recipe a secret.

I agree with the sentiment in this blog post, but I can't help but wonder if regulations on telecommunications services require Google to implement the extra security.

One thing that I find to be very valuable is to perform self assessments after significant milestones. I consider what I did well and what I could improve upon. Then I consider how to improve. Always exposing myself to new ideas and tr

Perhaps you don't need another developer at this time. I find that operating at n-1 developers forces a team to really consider what the most important features are. As a developer, it's really easy for me to start thinking of really cool

I partially agree with you. I lived in Seattle's International district this past summer, and biked quite a bit. At first, I was apprehensive about the traffic, but it wasn't bad once I got past my first ride. One resource you might find

There's nothing that says the blogger will ever give up his domain. My suggestion is to start thinking of new names. You might even end up with a better name than you have now.
