I'm not a fanboy at all I use Windows, Linux, Apple, Android I'm not employed by 'company X' so unless they pay me I can criticize all I want. From what I understand Apple refuses to pay Motorola royalties on the basic patent of a "hand-he

I don't think the average person realizes that for aircraft pilots ice is a constant worry even in tropical areas of the world. The temperature drops 1.98C for every 1,000 feet you go up so you can see quite quickly how fast you can enter

Worse than that is this test would have been taken by a person (probably male) straight out of high school. I can't even comprehend what is being asked on most of these questions let alone what it's about, at least if I knew what they were

About two years ago CBC news had a great segment on vitamin D and cancer rates. Anyone in northern (far south) climate isn't exposed to enough sunlight after early Fall. Even if you were outside naked all day you'd never get enough sunlig

I've also read when free-divers are down in such high pressure the plasma of their blood is squeezed out and fills their sinuses. In a way it helps protect them since the large open areas are now filled with fluid.

A home-made 3D laser scanner would complement this nicely.

Google's European head office in Ireland would be a great example of that, as well as the shell office in The Netherlands.

Last time I used a Mac? As I said this is my first one ever. My comparisons are the different behaviour between Mac, Linux and Windows or specifically how Windows and Linux are similar but Apple OS X is just slightly (annoyingly) different

Cigarettes and alcohol are still smuggled and both of those are legal and taxed.

That's what I like about Khan Academy just sit back and watch so many subjects as well so many universities have free videos. In a way reading HN feels like I'm crashing a vascular conference.
