Not too sure about what the point is, or maybe it is just my limited knowledge of javascirpt that's playing me tricks. In any case I didn't know of a prototype.handle function and can't figure out any way for it to intervene in the usual wa

Not being in his head, I'll try to guess from what I know of smalltalk. It means the actual binding of a message to the method to execute is done only when the message is received. TOo give you an idea, you may associate some code to specif

Over simplification. There are alternate strategies to reduce the impact of pests or to fertilize fields, or to just make those fields deplete at a slower rate. In some cases we would need the very useful pesticides or chemical fertilizers

Bitmunchies probably pays its suppliers using usual currency. I'd guess its is just a way to trade money for bitcoins and that they don't really convert those bitcoins to dollars to pay their suppliers. Just a guess.

Its good that you want to change things and that you tried taking matters into your hands. While I can't offer what you are looking for I'll still go for a few pieces of advice. First, realize you have been affected by the way the java ente

Its hard to accept the author dismissing the threat of bitcoin being banned and then admitting it is difficult to buy bitcoins. If it is difficult to buy bitcoins, its most likely hard to get useable currency from bitcoins. Until you can bu

I agree that the email is just about things that have little interest to customers. My own questions were more along the lines of: - Will I need to restart my servers, reinstall, reconfigure them for the change? - How long will be the downt

On the other hand, they had patients with crohn's disease in the sample. Its hard not to see this as a decisions taken based on the hypothesis that people affected by crohn's disease have a different bacterial flora.

Yes definitely. But in this case just looking at the Economist's summary, I didn't even feel it was interesting or worthwhile to look at the primary source.

I can't support this enough. The economist's summary had me just saying "so what", but after reading this comment I started looking at the actual report and I must say it is much much more interesting. http://www.oecd.org/document/24/0,334

I am always puzzled when I read articles like this and people say *nix when its clear they means "linux". I remember working on Solaris, HP-UX, IRIX or AIX and it was always full of little annoying variations. The dominance of Linux and pac

My son knew the alphabet too at that age. He is now 5 and has forgotten and relearned it quite a few times since then. Knowing this, I wouldn't worry about it really.

You mean that people able to resist or live longer under such a diet will survive and that we will evolve to support such a died? If so, you are probably wrong. It is not about survival it is about the ability to pass down genes. If the die

Yes, they may be better at running a business, but they'll be stuck in running a business. Small businesses aren't easy to sell, there are tons of family-type small businesses (and I am not talking about corner shops) lacking anyone to take

It actually reminded me of another turbine-like engine I had seen a while back. They had tested it on chainsaws where the reduced vibration was desirable. I guess hybrid applications are mentioned because its trendy. I'm sure there are tons
