In after the 1991 Gulf War, PTSD rates spiked beyond rates ever seen in the US Army. A study commissioned to examine the effects of PTSD found that this long-term stress was actually causing the hippocampus (the short-to-med/long term memor

I was actually a fan of Gnome Shell until I went to the LinuxCon 2011 and started talking to the devs. It seems to me that they are trying to turn Gnome into something meant for beginning users while trying to train them with "good" habits

Yeah, but I think it's still something to keep in because it calls into question the rationale for 3 "tiers" in the first place. The anti-features involved in making tier 2 and 3 probably have higher costs than the supposed "open" model in

Wow, the comments in this otherwise rational forum are astounding. Does no one really understand the purposes of taxation? Or are you all too self-inflated to realize that you are part of a public collective? Don't you find it strange that

I couldn't stop laughing when I saw the calculator security check. What an ingenious solution! It's not the most robust "hash", but it's no more than what he needs for the purpose. It really puts things into perspective when people are talk

Thanks for the link! I've not only been talking to my target market, but the more I dive into this project, the more I see myself becoming my target market… I think that I've seen a few collectives run into these sorts of accountability iss

Yay! A comment! I guess, but I think there would be more to it. It would have an interface that is similar to humble bundle's and would have a "thermometer" widget to show how much money was needed to fund a project (thus making it free). U

Exactly, that's why it reached the supreme court. The US has a COMMON LAW system. That means that this case will be applied to further cases in order to determine what the common punishment should be. The supreme court sets supreme preceden

Death is the only guarantee in life and in fact is necessary for human ecology. I too am deeply saddened by this loss, but am supremely grateful that a man like John McCarthy was able to contribute to the humanity's knowledge. May his work

Man, I was just diving into C this week with Shaw's learn C the hard way and K & R (I'm beginning to wrap my head around pointers. Quite beautiful, really). This snippet made me tear up. RIP, Dennis Ritchie.

Pardon my pontification/speculation, but I wonder if _why and Mark's disappearance is a symptom of a larger disease — programming just isn't as rewarding once a hacker goes public.

As a games developer still green-around-the-ears I'm really looking forward to trying my hand at making a social media game. I never wanted to make a facebook game because I felt like that ship had sailed.

I went to high school in Utah and one of our teachers (Rob Bishop) actually became a congressman. Using his new role, he invited our class's honour students to a convention where the youth meet Utah politicians. That was the first time I cr

If anyone seriously wants to do this, they need to look at the meta-problem. All sorts of hackers are going to want to work on this project, but remote collaboration tool UIs are iffy at best. What if one were to pipe a screen session to a
