I'm a big fan of CurVe: http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/curve/ Among its other nice features, it makes it easy to custom compile your CV for a specific purpose.

You might need luck if you assume that the industry is standing still and chips and batteries aren't getting cheaper and more powerful... Sub-$100 Android devices that "run fast" are inevitable. The only question is how soon.

I find it troubling that the article doesn't even mention a single time the reason why professors have tenure in the first place: academic freedom. It's difficult to have scholarly discourse on unpopular or unprofitable topics if you have t

I wonder why the (putatively) tall users exaggerate their height in the same direction as the shorter users. Wouldn't the tall men (or women) have a tendency to present themselves as closer to the mean? Or if not that, to simply report thei

I typically use a Nexus one, but I recently had to use an iPhone 3G to do some car navigation. I have had a general preconceived notion that the iPhone has a superior UI to Android--probably due more to reading about it than to actually usi

I am not a lawyer, but my understanding is that entering into a common law marriage typically only happens if you "intend" to be married. For example, cohabitation alone is, generally, not enough to create a common law marriage.

It is certainly easy to see why the US and Soviets wanted to investigate using nukes for peaceful uses. But claiming that the 250 or so peaceful nuclear explosions (out of a total of more than 2000 nuclear tests over-all) makes the nuclear

Considering that the Declaration of Independence was published virtually simultaneously in German (July 9) as well as English (July 5), the accents in 1776 were probably quite varied.

What you say is true, but it's worth noting that, as a rule, phylogenetically "higher" organisms do tend to have more plasticity and (perhaps as a consequence) less ability to regenerate neurons). Your songbird example is a good one. There

From the article: M^2 >= (J/M)^2 + Q^2 M is the mass of the black hole, J is its angular momentum, and Q is its charge. If the inequality is satisfied, that is it has sufficiently more mass than angular momentum and charge, then

I would provide access to the vaccine and individuals could choose whether they wanted to take it. That actually is a really bad idea from a public health perspective. Generally you need well in excess of 50% of the population to be vacci
