   Ah, yes, I see the time-limit. However, for me the presence or absence of a down vote button seems to be somewhat arbitrary.

   Hi nabla9, I read the bug report thread and that was as professional as I would expect from grownups. I was responding to your statement about anglo-american culture. I have observed this "it's OK to be direct" motto from som

   nabla9 -> I have a technical question about HM comments. I see two interesting things about your reply 1. I can not see a down-vote button (To clarify I personally never down-vote anything, just upvote things) 2. I don't see a reply

   I think that the overly critical culture of many European nations prevents younger people from trying out or voicing ideas because humans are human and don't like being humiliated , especially in public. This is something I think we sh

   I disagree. I thought the website was very nice, easy to navigate and I found the full page photos very nostalgic looking (grainy, oversaturated ...). It evokes exactly the kind of atmosphere I would associate with a Grandpa from the 60s.

   I talked to a relative who is a lawyer and was told that court cases are not dramatic as seen on TV. Both the prosecutor and defense side have access to all documents and have ample time to prepare their arguments. There are no surprises in

   If you are into such things, do take a look at the orbiter project ( http://orbit.medphys.ucl.ac.uk/ ) and the NASSP add-on ( http://nassp.sourceforge.net/wiki/Main_Page ). I spent many an after-school nig

    I disagree - long maternity leave would encourage women to stay in the work force, and I strongly support this. I think, from seeing things first hand, we need 1 year maternity leaves to do things properly. Making women choose between raisi

    This was a very insightful article, which deserves more upvotes than it has. It was very informative for me from the point of view of contemporary American history, especially as we hear of the rising "trend" (aren't they all

    This is a very interesting thread for me. My spouse is from Germany, and it was nice to hear that the tussles we have with opening windows in the middle of a New England winter are part of a much broader "war" ;-) Also, in New Eng

    It is, however, not clear to me what kind of useful information we can get from the visible spectrum at this low magnification. At 85mm you can't even make out features on the moon.

    I would say you're is the most insightful comment in this thread. I am biased towards thinking you are correct in that when one publishes a paper, there are incentives towards a more dramatic interpretation/presentation of the dat

    Ok, the replies to this make me wonder - I thought a two income family in SV was usually making in the range of $300k. Are the respondents below from SV?

    It almost sounds like a 'hit' from the movies, especially intriguing was the suggestion that this has happened before.

    So, a double income family, each person earning $250,000 with proceeds from a previous house sale for downpayment, can manage quite easily, no? Pre tax income: 41666/month 20% Down = $300000 Borrow 1.2M @ 4.0% = $5728.98/mo This l

    Let's face it, this is simply an attempt to make it harder for Google to operate in the EU. It's probably mainly normal bureaucratic nonsense, encouraged along by some nationalism and probably a bit from european corporations hopi
