I understand the math; sure, 10*0=0. Looking lim a->0: x/a, though, which goes to infinity, I was implying it was easier to achieve because mathematically he'd be way past his target of 10x. But you're right that it's impossible to hi

So, you're right in that Guede being guilty doesn't imply that Knox isn't. But, the evidence against him affects how the evidence against Knox has to be handled: for example, the lack of physical evidence against Knox becomes a big deal wh

The whole thing doesn't hinge on the priors: the priors should be rather easy to agree to (i.e., the observable rate at which the general population in Amanda Knox's relative bucket commit murders). The author's entire point is that all of

ZumoDrive is an awesome idea -- be truly extra space, not just a mirror of a folder that has to exist locally, too. But it's been extremely unstable on Mac OS X for me. I wish it worked and toyed with it for a long time, but it kept doi

A lot of the "strings" seem expansions of others or superfluous. For example, it lists "Physicist, philosopher, author, mathematician" for Penrose. I'm not so sure that theoretical physics and maths are different enough to qualify you as
