Most english speakers in the world learnt it as a second language, and it only becomes a problem to me when they're not good at it and they're trying to sell me a service predicated on their language skills.

This is from a Nova science documentary (Becoming Human): some scientists believe that humans evolved larger brains in response to a rapidly changing ecosystem. They've found evidence of a ginormous lake appearing and disappearing many time

for the real story on why non-flash web games matter, you have to look at ease of porting to mobile/smartphone/social network platforms. If you could write a game that had 50% of the richness of a flash game, but worked quite nicely on (hig

I'd love to see someone try to sell cars this way in both, a high income as well as a low income context. Honesty may not be the absolute value we/i'd like to think it is.

Printing Ghandi's mug on every single bill hasn't worked to shame anybody yet, so I'm very surprised that this works. Happy that it seems to though.

I'd be interested in understanding what the ethical issue at hand actually is. Is it: a) the unintentional destruction of life b) the possible reduction of biodiversity or c) the fact that animals are being killed that don't supply human fo

You're right. I play life because it's more fun to pretend that it's real than succumb to the inaction which would be the only logical response to the idea that it's not. In other words, I seek the coin under the lamp rather than in the dar

To relate the adjective "super" exclusively to speed, seems a tad shallow, no?
