It is important to compare the amount of radiation here though... I'm pretty sure new phones are a bit more efficient with their signals, battery life has increased phenomenally and this must be partly due to lower power usage. Although wit

Most likely to immersion bias - they tend to visit sites that align with their beliefs, which in turn reinforces their world view, and without a healthy dose of physical reality, the distortion gets so bad you tend to get these types of com

Seems like they were already settling in for the long haul anyway: This case has always been about whether intentional theft of copyrighted works is permitted under existing law and we always knew that the critical underlying issue would n

And generally not more than one. Chances for being acquired aren't that good either. And you probably shouldn't focus too much on an early exit strategy...

So the direct consequence currently is that millions of barrels are venting directly into the gulf. I'm not too clued up on crude oil, but as far as I'm aware, oil is less dense than water, thus rises. Gulf currents will dissipate this as s

with "very speeds" do you mean very low or very high? It kind of makes a difference here...

Good point, however time is used daily by almost everyone, whereas lat and long are used (directly) by far fewer people. The main problem this would have is people figuring out what the hell it means! Most people have some grasp on latitude

Until there is an alternative established market, realistically you are only looking at getting a slice of the government funds, as that IS the market. And if for that $1B you can achieve what currently would cost $15B and up (orion - http

You're not trying to attract talent at this stage - you and your co-founders are it, and you're there for something bigger than the initial paycheck. You are mainly focussed on getting a working initial version whilst trying to keep your he

Also sounds a little like O-Meta (at least from what I understand of it...) - which is something Alan Kay and others have been working on for a fair while now. And this seems a little more alive and modern than prolog. This seems to take a

I wonder how the character spacing issues are resolved - for example ff and fi generally should overlap and physical print typography uses different characters for this. This is definitely possible in PDF (though I'm not too sure of the det

I suspect the valuable advice might well be buried in the noise, and take more time to sort out than you would get if you were just dealing with a couple of big investors. That, and bigger investors have more at stake, so it is in their own

That made me think of an old story - never underestimate the bandwidth of a station wagon. If the internet does go out (and phone with it, because most main carriers use VOIP in the main trunk lines I believe), how many people would actuall

Does anyone know how this compares with the JVM? I know that there is a java front-end for LLVM, but I haven't seen much comparison information (to be honest, haven't looked that hard either) Can this be a good way to get (for example) Java

Of some interest in this statement is that wikileaks managed to crack the encryption. No matter if they release the crack, the way they did it, or the actual footage, the US DoD should take very careful note that it has been cracked. This i

seems it has some appropriate "custom" suggestions for a few sites... Facebook and twitter also have appropriate one-liners.

What if you were to symlink your entire tree to say /z - as far as I'm aware, this would not use much more disk space, and as it would be the last to go, could you not call /z/bin/whatever ? I may be way wrong here, but I thought the symlin

Yet another country (unfortunately mine) joining the bandwagon of "protecting people from themselves". While I can see some potential reasons for it, I am beginning to see it very much as a sort of censorship on free speech, which I believe

I started something similar a while ago, but more like a window manager. It would track the user's movement and recalculate all the window positions based on the perceived head position - making the monitor more like a real window. This wou

Its refreshing to see new ideas being implemented well. What makes this particularly interesting is the panning desktop metaphor (which seems to be getting more and more popular) and is quite appropriate for multi-touch screens (think ipad)

I think that it serves to make reading an essay more fluid, as you can crop a lot of unnecessary information this way. If every "it turns out" was to follow the path that came to the conclusion, then there'd be a lot of extra detail that wo

The base code is available with the arc tarball ( http://arclanguage.org/install ) which will give you all you need to get started. However, any recent changes done to the current live news.arc won't be there, and I suspect there have bee

I just followed some of the links and came across a very interesting effect, much in line with the theme of the "broken web"... if you follow the homer simpson link you end up on the blog of Roman Cortes, which happens to be in spanish. Chr

Just need to shift the decoder to the screen - Audio was like that once as well. Just because the raw bandwidth isn't sufficient doesn't mean it can't be done. A few months back I read something about streaming H264 but haven't got the time

There's a man that went around music festivals here in new zealand for a couple of years - he'd put himself in a custom-made suit (faraday cage) and would then stand on a platform and hook himself up to a coupla thousand volts... Bloody imp
