If my doctors are anything to go by, you shouldn't worry too much. You'll be able to make your supporting nurses deal with the computer systems for you ... Not that I'm advocating this as a good thing. I only report a pattern

If you don't mind my asking, do you know (or can you surmise) how Will Steger and his team made it across Antarctica? I remember following their dog-sled-ski traverse in the papers while living in MN. But, I don't remember readin

One of my favorite professors assigned papers with maximums . The maximum was a hard stop. If your paper was longer, she tore off the overage and graded the paper as it was. I quickly learned to be concise.

Why did you switch from Bitdefender? I'm forced to "sysadmin" my family's Windows systems ... and last I looked, Bitdefender seemed to do a good job. Was I wrong to recommend?

A noob question: what does MASQ refer to? Also, do you have any suggestions for a motherboard + minipcie combo? I'd like to get off of our DSL router soon-ly.

Be sure to check the origin/return address before you blame the Economist. I receive multiple Economist spam emails a day, and none of them are from <>@economist.com, or a marketing firm. The TLDs alone give them away: <>@&

As and aside, farmers aren't the only ones interested in old farm equipment. There's a vibrant community of collectors. Both communities tune and refurb the equipment to working order, tho' the collectors go further for appea

Be prepared to name research projects that do not receive government funding in the first or second degree. (That is: receive funding directly, or from grant-making organizations that themselves receive substantial government funding.)

Your joke was a poor one, one that Feynman would probably have demurred. The story was decently told, whatever your view of the later TED performance. It gives the reader yet another aspect with which to view Richard Feynman. The reader com

Darwin was an amateur. So was Einstein. And both were subject matter experts. It might help to remember that the root of "amateur" is "amator", lover. An amateur is one who does what they do out of love. Amateur astronom

Care to clarify to which platforms you have moved your clients? I've considered Linode, but haven't "pulled the trigger" just yet, and all this turmoil has me reconsidering. Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the reference to Burke and "Connections". I'm not sure whether you are using Burke as an example of over- or under-weighting factors in history. I believe the latter, but can see either argument. No matter. "Connections" was wort

Although the Xoom performs well, its reliability leaves a lot to be desired. During a week of very heavy use, I had between 5 and 8 incidents of applications force-closing every day. The issue wasn't isolated to third-party applications—Go

I'll bite ... what is it about their reader / product line that makes it equivalent to a "gorgeous eight-track"? I've thought the reader looked a bit fragile (and wouldn't hold up to heavy use), but that doesn't make it obsolete right out o
