I still don't get it: A. I guess correctly 25% of the time (via some method) and make money because of the skewed payoff. (0.25 * 5 - 0.75 * 1) = 0.5 B. I flip a coin and guess correctly 50% of time and make EVEN MORE money because of the s

Be that as it may, if the rats cannot do better than a coin toss, what use is it?

Really? You can give them a placebo and say, "This might reduce your risk of HIV or it might not. Have fun!" I'm curious because my impression is that most drug trials have been for AIDS treatments (where, perhaps, placebos are more ethic

I disagree with this sentiment. There is a huge uphill battle for getting something like this approved for use in humans and a large part of that is proving that the device is safe as well as effective. Firstly, we don't even know that this

iRobot, who were once a start-up themeselves, recently bought Nekton Research, a start-up that made underwater robots. I suspect that most start-ups are spun out of the research world and have the military as their primary customers.

As a for instance... why would "avoiding US constitutional law" matter when it doesn't cover the detainees anyhow, as the Constitution only really covers citizens? This is dead wrong. The Constitution covers all residents of the

2) I have a deep, very deep problem with commenters who say stuff like "piracy for life" or "I'll keep pirating till I die". They're just confirming the views of the music labels. I do agree to an extent that statements such a

If you define it more generally: younger_person >= (older_person / 2) + 7 it has the added advantage that it proscribes anyone younger than 14 ever having sex (with anyone of any age) since the inequality could never be satisfie

I think there's a lot in common between R and S-PLUS. Indeed. R is sometimes called "GNU S".

That last part about the law firm representing them for free because it would allow Google to have some control over precedent seems, if true, very ethically questionable to me. Lawyer have a responsibility of undivided loyalty to their cli

And a proprietary headset? Really? These sorts of silly limitations will drop away as manufacturers other that HTC start to make Android devices. As far as Android "succeeding" against the iPhone, I am not sure that it will in the n

This principle doesn't make any sense to me. The severity of the sentence is (or should be) proportional to the severity of the crime. In this case, the harm that a corrupt judge can cause is extremely large, and society does not tolerate t

It's a little counter-intuitive to me that all that one has to do to "select" a column or a row is to point the mouse at the square. I kept trying to click at first. Perhaps make the selection outline a little brighter or show an outline ov

That level of targeting is actually kind of creepy, in my opinion. Try changing your status from in a relationship to single or vice-versa and see what kind of adverts you get. (Never mind what your privacy settings are...)

And "minimal" here doesn't mean something necessarily aimed at power users like fluxbox, ratpoison or awesome. I've always thought of xfce as a sort of gnome-lite-- it looks just as pretty and has all the gui toolbars and widgets that you w

Many people pay for law school with student loans. This could easily be $150k+, depending on the law school. Unfortunately, this can spell trouble if you do not finish law school and thus can't get a high paying job. Still more unfortunate,

The only part of Android that is "not robust" (thus far and in my opinion) is the hardware. The Android OS itself feels about as solid and responsive as the iPhone OS (does that have a name, btw?) or pre-cellphone-era-Palm-OS. I have had ve

You seem to have made a mistake with the rewrite rule. I think you mean: RewriteRule (\.svn)/(.*?) - [F,L] Note the backslash before the .svn directory. I'm also not entirely sure that the question mark (zero or one quantifier) is ne

There is an application called ChompSMS for the Android platform that is as close to what you are talking about as I have seen. They provide a more iPhone-like interface to text messages and optionally send SMS messages (for a fee) though t

Hopefully without the slide-out keyboard it is at least significantly thinner than the G1. An actual headphone jack would be nice too.
