Solid game, I got 11. I just wish there was a way to edit nodes - it's really annoying to try to guess what the curve will look like when moving an unlinked node (like in the heart example). I can see that being part of the game though

Probably, but it might not be able to work very well with different conditions, like a picture of a chessboard in central park vs a chessboard in a library. This could probably be solved with more renders, and even if it can't, the ren

How is that easy to break? It protrudes like a quarter inch from the surface of the keyboard, and that's only the top third or so of the knob. I guess you could turn it too hard, but you're switching between three options, you rea

Do you mean making a screen with hexagonal pixels? That would be really cool, and I think it would just be a matter of changing the shape of the electrodes and crystals (for an LCD).

Bitfinex does shorts, which is similar I guess.

Amusingly, even though I've never smoked or even bought cigarette, I still have a pretty good idea how big a cigarette carton is because everyone always uses them for comparison.

Well, he did think it would take over a century. It would be nice if this could be completed in our lifetime, but that was never part of the plan (at least not the original plan)

I've noticed that on my OSX macbook the connection time is slow, but it seems to connect before you log in if it's asleep. I think Apple uses tricks like this to make it seem much faster.

Couple reasons of the top of my head: War is common. Plane crashes are rare. The average CNN viewer doesn't live anywhere near a warzone, but they probably have and are going to ride a commercial flight.

I know you're joking, but there's no way they'd do this because it'd be painfully obvious that all of the positive comments came in right at the very end, because all of the comments are publicly available[1]. [1]: http

That reminds me of the guy who tried to protect his fingers from the pedestal grinder by using the sleeve of his hoodie instead of walking 20 feet to the tool room to get some gloves. His sleeve got caught at torn completely off. Fortunatel

That is a good point. Although it might be popularity that was holding it back, and this article seems to have helped with that. I wonder how far this thing will go.

Personally, I'd much rather buy his version than make my own. The newer design has the fins going all the way up the pot, which seems like it would make it more efficient at heating the sides, although it might be inconsequential (I&#x

I know you're probably a troll, but this is science: nothing is ever "proven", nothing is ever 100% certain, and they mentioned in the press release why this study is better than the previous ones that show no difference betw

Eh, I'll cut them a little more slack because it seems like it does its job without a bladed fan, and the bladed fan is hidden inside. This is just straight lying, and it's immediately obvious lying too. Especially to anyone who k

Wow, this is awesome. However when I first open the page on Safari all of the tiles cascade straight down before rearranging themselves. It only happens for like a second but it's kind of distracting.

It seems like that would be possible. The only restrictions that I can think of are the fact that each (iOS) extension needs its own app with significant functionality (so this extension would have to be provided by a file browser or someth
