Thank you. That's the answer I was looking for. I had figured they had written their own demo software to show off the capabilities, but a benchmark makes a lot more sense. Though now that I know they're using benchmarks from last

Is there a reason why the demo video looks like the cutting edge in 1993? Maybe I'm missing something...

Yea, I was going to post that the initial No Breakout view conveys absolutely no information. The colors haven't yet been explained, the circles are all the same size, and... there are 100 of them (but we already know that). Hovering o

I happen to enjoy figurative language and I'm not going to give it up because other people because abuse it. Should we throw out the word "theory" because creationists refuse to understand it?

Perhaps the disagreement is that sitting is cheap and abundant.

It's a metaphor. We use lots of metaphors when talking about evolution. They're useful. We say features of organisms were designed and have purposes . It's all metaphor; nothing to get upset over.

Awesome! This is a lot simpler than me opening 3 tabs on Simply Noise to try to recreate a thunderstorm. The color transition is a nice touch too. I'm not sure I would use the word chromotherapy specifically though, since it has some

The 'new' page depresses the hell out of me. I read all of these articles about the best time to post to get maximum exposure, but you know it makes very little difference if you're going to end up with 1 vote anyway. I looke

Here's the thing. FC could have received the $150k and then CONTINUED with the extortion. Once he has an irreversible payment, he can expose the lie.... it doesn't matter. He still has user records that are worth extortion money.

In case you are wondering why he was out for FriendlyChemist, this claims that user was extorting him for $500k by threatening to release the information of thousands of Silk Road users. Here's the part I don't understand: * A use

Just wanted to say: you've got yourself a pretty amazing promo video for Barley. Love the quote, song, style, everything really.

I understand, but I'm not making the assumption. I'm talking about roads I drive everyday that are clearly on timers and I've even got good estimates on how long the cycles last.

I had no clue domains were available before I was born... that's quite a strange thought. For some reason, I was thinking they wouldn't have been around before the web. A dumb question, but what exactly would you do with a domain

Sounds like an old case of the unmoderated user input. I've actually seen this kind of thing on a company page beforehand. There's really no excuse in that environment.
