Tumblr is horrible with this. If you want to set a click-through link for a new photo post, it's usually click-[ctrl a]-backspace-[ctrl v] as a click-through link is really never typed out, but is most likely pre-existing.

I like the URL: /everyday-items-hackers-targeting-right/ Targeting the Right? I'm filled with so much outrage and disgust I'm not even going to read the article! Clearly the liberals are at it again with their freethinking and college educa

My economics teacher once used the number 17 as a random number twice in one class, without noticing. A note on the number 7: magicians actually use the frequency of that number being picked for their tricks. If an amateur card magician ask

It's a fairly political question in the US. Emotional people believe in emotional solutions, like the death penalty, physical discipline, healing prayer. Logical people believe in logical solutions, like medicine, research, and education. T

There needs to be a tradition in this world. One hour out of the day, everyone stops everything and does something productive. Read a book for an hour. Code for an hour. Do something, or it's a faux pas.

Theodore Roosevelt read two books a day and could recite quotations from them years later. The average TV in the US is on 6 hours per day. Would you rather be the average American or Theodore Roosevelt?

I'm just saying, I don't see how this is efficient outside of "can we make a robot that folds towels?" Sure, it's pretty cool, even putting aside its slowness, but it seems like a lot of effort towards something with little application. Whe

My first reaction: How much time and money did this cost? How is this benefiting anything? Is this a test of some operating system that will be used on other, more useful things, or just a science project?

FOX "News" and its clear conservative mindset all-around hates the sciences in general; flagged on the grounds of complete bias.

What are "good morals"? Morality is completely subjective. I would say, to humor the inquirer, that computers already have morals: the morals of their users. They already make content filter software. What the question seems to be asked is
