The airplane could be momentarily upside down and passengers would not know. At some point I suspect gravity would override the masking sense of motion that he talks about.

Wow, from the title I thought that article was going to take the opposite tact (ie, you should be building a business, not an R&D lab). Very interesting though.

For the record, while (calls.moveToNext() && (count < howMany)) { will not compile as written in Java without the interior parentheses.

It really depends on your projected userbase these days. For instance, in a couple of my projects, we aimed at a small subset of users (autistic and/or adults with disabilities in this case) who would have a good reason to have JS disabled

If you actually read the article, that's basically what they're doing with IceCAST.

Well, that works well. The draw of Drobo is a RAID setup though - in some cases, RAID provides a significant performance boost, and, at higher levels, it'll survive more than one drive failure.

Well, considering it was posted yesterday I'd hardly call it "old news". Personally I'd be very interested in comparing ZFS and Btrfs without jumping through a bunch of hoops to do so.

Apparently his technique does not give one a particularly subtle grasp of nuance when writing blog post titles.

Slackware. No doubt, far easier to use and maintain than Ubuntu.

I doubt that we'll ever find a "reason" for aging. It's the result of an imperfectly optimized biological system - after all, humans are the result of one great big evolutionary algorithm. We've proven time and again that those run exponent

The super high quality stuff will take an extra minute or two to download, but you won't have to pay a licensing fee for it. I'm not so sure about that. Yesterday's analysis seemed to predict some questionable usage of H.264 bits in the e

Many talented developers are getting paid by Google to solely hack on Chrome - to add new features, to make it blazing fast, and to make sure it is well supported. The fact that it is open source is kind of a nice little bonus - Google-spon

No, they don't really care but I'm sure they won't be too disappointed to have the publicity for "standing up to the RIAA" in new customers' minds.

in uTorrent, copying the data over and (in the right click menu once a torrent is stopped) going to advanced > set download location should force a recheck at the new location.

Transmission isn't officially ported to Windows and uTorrent doesn't run on Linux. Two different markets ...

I honestly wasn't sure if this day would ever come. After all, if OS X, with all of Apple's resources, couldn't wrap up much developer support, what hope did Linux have? Absolutely fantastic news!

I'm not convinced that most of the inmates have quite that level of sophistication, but anyone who's dealt with a particularly effective bully will recognize the kinds of psychopathic behavior depicted.

If you want the real setting for "The Wire", read " The Corner: A Year in the Life of an Inner-City Neighborhood" by David Simon and Ed Burns. The depiction of one of today's most derelict inner-city neighborhoods is heartbreaking and disco

True, but in Zynga's case their audience is going to be drawn pretty naturally to Facebook. Even at "max diversification" of their platform, it seems unlikely to me that losing their Facebook platform wouldn't be a crippling blow to Zynga.

Stay away from ALL fast food. Even their "healthy" choices are designed to maximize profit margins, and there's just something unsavory about decades of processed food. I stopped eating fast food about 3 years ago, and I have felt healthier
