One of the things that interested me the most about this article was the unintended consequences of various measures used to gauge progress. For example, researchers seem to be evaluated by the number of papers written, number of publicatio

I felt otherwise. I believe the author not only pointed out other alternatives but talked with those people trying to do things differently. Namely the course of action is simply to try different and more varied things. The whole problem th

I'm not a lawyer, but reading on this, http://www.shouselaw.com/extortion.html#1 , it's definitely not far fetched to consider what is being done by Zynga as extortion. They're demanding an act from the employees under threat of personal/p

You can have free apps in the App Store as far as I'm aware. The only restriction that I'm seeing is that you can't put a GPL on it. But you could just slap on any other license for purposes of the App Store, and allow access to the source

Please illuminate me on this, as I'm honestly curious. From what I've read the App Store places this restriction on what type of distribution is allowed for software sold on the App Store. However, what's stopping the developers from using

That will happen when web apps will completely replace device-specific apps, and by that I mean that it's one of those predictions I don't think will completely pan out. OnLive will face several challenges that will make a console-solution

I'm half-way through the biography and I think that's a good description of it. I think it's brutally honest and really portrays Steve as a mere mortal subject to the ups and downs of life, while presenting various perspectives. I've been r

I would say that's OCD causing them to program badly. That there's some underlying condition behind the erroneous pattern does not excuse it's presence in the code base.

Thanks for posting, a lot of what you wrote really echoed with my own life experience. And to the OP, I will add that one makes it through those rough spots.

Mine was an Apple IIe, and likewise it really opened my eyes to the world of computing and gave me a life long passion for technology. I thank him for that as well.

I agree that it's a pretty effective form of protest. In fact, I applaud the actions of the editors for bringing to light the issues that are being pushed in the legislature. Most people are too willfully ignorant about what goes on politic

I think if one were to try to sue them, one would have to mount an attack along this vector. The editorial nature of their review system could be seen as a generator of new content (even if it is based on used-submitted content); the end re

I can definitely see it playing out that way. However, my limited knowledge of the problem precludes me from understanding if a simple 24 hour re-sync would address the underlying problem. From what I do understand the accuracy/precision of

I think the empirical solution would not be as straight-forward as you proclaim. Namely, because lacking any clear understanding of the science any number of theories might crop up that attempt to explain the perceived anomaly thus hinderin

Having been through similar bouts of depression in my teens and early twenties I also adopted some of daekan's techniques. Personally, another thing that has helped me greatly is to preempt situations that have caused me to become depressed

I couldn't help but think about Warhammer 40k's Astronomicon ( http://warhammer40k.wikia.com/wiki/Astronomicon ) since that's supposed to extend for about 50,0000 light years as well. Then again, I am a bit of a WH40k fan...

This article I found while pondering the same question states that it was de-orbited a day after the test firing ( http://maikelnai.elcomerciodigital.com/2009/12/30/salyut-3-d... ), granted it doesn't provide sources for that specific claim
