I was confused for about 3 minutes because I kept reading "Monkeyball".

Nice thought, except that temperature is simply a measure of speed. When something is said to be a certain temperature, it is said to be moving at such a speed with a certain amount of kinetic energy. That is why when liquids get "hot" enou

I just wanted to say I love how this post hardly has any comments because we're all busy reading the book.

Why U.S. specifically?

Back in high school we calculated the energy in a single photon by turning down the power on an LED until it almost went out. We recorded the amount of power, and figured out the energy in a photon within 15% accuracy. I had a crazy Physics

Both Voyagers have nuclear reactors (of sorts) in them.

Haha, I just got your joke. Using the word "frippery" is frippery.

You still have to have C in the end. The license agreement forces it upon you. That's disgusting.

Odd, Chrome downloads a .mov file when I visit that page.

What was wrong with Java, may I ask? It's what's been on phones since 2000, and it's what Android is throwing it's weight behind.

Interestingly, Celtx ( http://celtx.com/ ) is a screenplay editor built out of Firefox.

And now we have the code! Woo! There should be much rejoicing.

And here in Canada we pay 30$/MB for over-the-air data, and a 5Mb (that's mega-bit, not byte) internet connection is almost 50$ per month. That's also pretty much the fastest you can get even in the capital (Ottawa). God I feel like I'm liv

Homepage? I don't even have a homepage, just whatever tabs I had open last time.

So, one concludes that that Vista 7 has more hype than Vista had? Is that what should I be getting from this?

What happens when the outsource work isn't to your quality standards? You've wasted a lot of time already, and now you have to dispute it and waste some more time.

There's no such barriers in Japan, where it is common for one to pay for items using your cellphone. They can also order things on their phone by taking pictures of a standardized 2D barcode on a flyer or poster. The hardware has caught u

Yes, there were cutbacks, but they are continuing to support the neo.

Sounds fine to me. They aren't locking you into anything. All their technologies are open and free, it's just that no other companies can offer Google's quality and breadth.

They're talking about if you took samples from colonies hundreds of kilometres apart, the ants would consider each other family and part of the same colony. This is astonishing, since usually ants fight anything that is hostile to their col

Well actually I think I made a valid point, I just put in that quip at the end because I thought it was relevant commentary. I basically said there are less expensive alternatives that I believe are better, and yes I do realize my zealotry

This sounds like feature bloat to me. Next thing you'll want is a friend and foe system, and all other reddit features...

I was once typing in my password on a box I forgot I had converted to Dvorak. I was almost panicking because I was so sure I was entering the password correctly.

This sounds like something that should be handled by the user agent on the user's request.

The authors of this article were one of the first to challenge the early claims about the effects of file sharing. Years later, many other economists have followed suit (including the study funded by Industry Canada). This latest paper do

They should have an encoding standard for characters that are not in the standard character set. I've see base64 encoded images in CSS for a long time. Sure, it takes up a lot of space, but isn't this the best of both worlds? Of course, the
