I wouldn't dismiss this so quickly. It is widely accepted and is also part of what is evaluated when the doctor recommends or not that you give extra vitamin D to your child, having white skin means you need to spend less time in the sun to

The re-layout of nodes is annoying and makes it hard to see what are the effective changes. The result is mostly eye candy and I don't find it provides any new insights. Maybe if the layout was done with the final structure and that layout

Funny I remember seeing a library (used somewhere internally) where the Rectangle inherited from square. It was a surprising discovery when reading the codebase but the implementation as odd tough.

You got me thinking, maybe I could sum it up better this way: I don't think it is about getting trivia knowledge or a community, or meeting people, it is about getting a change of mind. I always saw the goal as to change the way you see the

Well, when I wrote my comment I was not thinking of college as something you do to get a job or to get grades even if this is what many people are in it for. If all someone is looking for is a paper, grades and a job. Then what it article o

I am not sure online learning is for everyone or for every age. College is much more than the classes. And I believe the "suspended reality" when attending college actually helps learning. And I don't count being able to answer online mul

Seems like the "book" (44 pages in PDF) is a walkthrough to using compiler building tools and the like. Not a bad idea. A lot of what surrounds it sounds way too much like a mix of spam and infomercial for my taste. Then again, I am most li

I agree with lot of posters but there is one point I haven't seen addressed so far: do you expect this to be a surprise for him? If not, you've probably done something wrong. Were your expectations made clear to him? Since I have had to fir

Anthropomorphism of regions, nationalities of states in a conflict is a very very bad way to look at things clearly. Thee is not always a clear line between all these groups. Not everyone in these groups thought the same, not everyone in th

All I can say is that spending quite a while as a cyclist and a pedestrian I am now as the driver aware that I am the one sitting comfortably in almost a ton of steel who can speed up effortlessly.

If one percent of them call once in a year, why not? I can call a toll-free number about the 1 dollar pack of gum I bought. I don't get stellar interaction but it is still more than what we are talking about.

Entering "When the tail wags the dog" makes it go in sort of an inifinite loop. But I guess there is a limit because I eventually get the message "It is doubtful that this phrase will ever reach equilibrium". All fun

Now support calls on a web app are unlikely to be related to the technology used on the server side. Usually they are more related to the design of the application itself or what resides on the client side. It also depends on the number of

As far as I know, and if I am missing something please point it out. Monoculture is efficient because of our methods of working and harvesting. Not because the plants grow better that way. If we had better lighter machinery that could discr

Hem... maybe I am mistaken but most gmos are not to increase yield, better taste or better nutritional qualities. Usually, if we look only at the ones who are actually available on the market, is to enable the use of mass herbicide or resis

Actually, we have tried this with my mother in law (not that I want to pick on her) who was convinced that organic bananas tasted better. We made her taste the bananas blindfolded and she couldn't tell the organic and non-organic bananas ap

Strange how the study doesn't address the main reasons why I would tend to favor organic foods: less pesticides, its the only way (at least in Canada) to control GMOs in what you eat. Of course there would be other environmental reasons as

The problem with curve fitting examples for GAs is that on one side there is often a more efficient way to solve the problem and, more importantly, that it assumes you know what the equation looks like. Having used (and still) genetics algo

Unrelated to the question, I apologize but am I the only one who is annoyed by the usage of the word "muse" in this context? For me a muse has such a noble connotation about deep tought, meaning and inspiration that I feel it is cheapened b

The only article by the scientist they mentionned that seems related to this is this one: Wireless Non-Radiative Energy Transfer [PDF] http://arxiv.org/ftp/physics/papers/0611/0611063.pdf Otherwise is work seems to be more related to pho

Too bad most people own stock indirectly, through retirement or mutual funds among others. The money managers for these funds are certainly the ones who want to rock the boat, if they care at all. Even when they own it directly, few have th

I got myself in a similar situation about three years ago, and since then moved and now need to use my car. Magazines are easier to read because you can fold them and you need to turn the pages less often than books. Sadly, the ACM Queue m

I agree that the continuation example is weak. It is also generally accepted in the seaside community that continuations are becoming less useful now that ajax like solutions are widespread. In fact, continuations are more of an add-on in
