Looks more like he is trying to buy direct outside expertise and opinion, without it being filtered through the company, in return for personally looking after this account. The problem from there on in is whether that person can actually c

I think there is a perfectly reasonable explanation for all of this. What I suspect is going on is that if Americans elected scientists, then hurricanes and earthquakes would increase dramatically, partly because the scientists would use th

those trained in science typically traffic in ideas that are either right (true) or wrong (false). Just make sure you have plenty of string theorists and perhaps some archeological geneticists and exoplanet meteorologists as well. That s

Is this chip - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AllWinner_A1X It can run a variety of linux variants. But all ARM processors that I am aware of can, even going back to the chip in the old Acorn Archimedes from the late '80s. Also, I have pers

Umm... the site isn't taking orders, which you would know if you'd bothered to make even the most cursory investigation before putting finger to keyboard. So if it is a scam, it's one with no way of making money at present, which would seem

Either you are confused about the definition of astroturfing, or you are confused about the nature of the raspberry-pi foundation. We don’t claim to have all the answers. We don’t think that the Raspberry Pi is a fix to all of the world’s

This looks really cool. Will have to get one to talk to my r-pi as I think it is a bit lonely. I love the fact that more people are building these kind of devices at this price point. I have been looking at pc104 boards for years but they w

Quality mass streaming to the US might be difficult without using US infrastructure. And presumably if people start doing it by cloud based streaming nodes, Amazon could be forced to block instances.

some areas of Scotland are long term grindingly poor and recieive lots of start up credits (they are called enterprise zones) I grew up near Greenock, which fits that description fairly well and found that the Scottish Enterprise system r

It is generally where the startups are, but only because it also just describes the area where ~90% of the people in Scotland live.

Unfortunately, cops have too many incentives to lie. Also, while there are honest cops, they have very little incentive to speak up when they witness a colleague lying, especially on smaller things that are seen as just making the job easie

By the same standard you wouldn't pay much attention to Freeman Dyson - http://www.sns.ias.edu/~dyson/ - or John Nash - http://web.math.princeton.edu/jfnj/ - either. I have noticed that many of the best academics seem to like having hor

Speaking as someone whose really likes topology, and who has been around boats their whole life, I suspect that you have not got the first fucking clue what I think regarding people who obsess about knots. Also, I would rather you didn't at

Perhaps there's a cross-cultural interpretation associated with sock drawers that I'm missing I do hope so. As then there is a chance that we might find out what it is and then everything might just make sense. Otherwise I'm just going to

Is nothing to do with being tough. You might as well ban stuff like Dilbert references as well if you get so upset at comedy that references stereotypes of engineers. [edit] I was also not being backhanded in the first place. You are allowe

Well you appear to be trying to argue, that a speech that discusses the idea that there is shared responsibility for wealth creation between business owners and the state, is an equivalent political gaffe to someone claiming that it is extr

I found it fascinating, and I have a randomly sorted bag of nearly identical black socks at the moment as I find it easier than bothering with the whole draw and sorting thing.

I had no idea that sock drawers were such a touchy subject. However I would say that if you want to maintain a culture of technical excellence, it should be built well enough in the first place to cope with things like occaisional wayward c

Although he may have developed much of the physics and saw that it was possible, Einstien didn't invent the atomic bomb and he developed the physics before he got to the US. I think that he is arguing that there are certain things you need

To interpret his comment any other way than I did, is to ignore the broader ideological context. Is more to ignore the rest of the speech. He goes on to say - "The point is, is that when we succeed, we succeed because of our individual i

I love the fact that there are people, who when faced with photographs sent from a robot on mars, will crop out all the bits of image with mars in them, so they can get a better look at the knots used to tie all the cables down. They must h
