Robots make for great expedition R&D. They can gather a lot of information very cheaply compared to manned spaceflight. I'm not sure space travel has to be profitable. Certainly Christopher Columbus's voyage was not considered (by mos

I immediately thought of this too. Could there possibly be a revenue opportunity for these game developers that they are missing? Should the game developers focus on the gameplay with economics in mind so as it should be a an objective an

I would think its a little different since the infrastructure was already in place for gasoline. There isn't the same infrastructure nation-wide for electric vehicles.

Good questions of which I do not know the specifics. McNamara's background was with helping turn Ford around by using his statistical and analytical expertise. Later he got involved using those same techniques with the Defense Dept.

Walt Disney had a vision for the city/habitat of the future. Is there any website or archive that shows all of those visions and plans? It would be an interesting read since he was such a visionary.

One of the most failed "experiments" of science and politics was Robert McNamara as U.S. Secretary of Defense under JFK. He used a lot of scientific methods to evaluate his political decisions with war and intervention. All of his evaluat

As a statistician and Operations Research professional I find this somewhat common among programmers. I also find it baffling but understandable. To me the computer and software is just a tool for creating algorithms and making better mod

There are definitely more symbols then there are letters in the alphabet. So that could mean he has multiple ciphers or that some symbols are substitutes for words, possibly common phrases.

I'm curious how you approach #5 Find an OCD Mechanic to a Craigslist seller. How do you ask? Is it considered common courtesy to say "Hey, lets drive it to my mechanic?"

Agreed. The article should be title "The quickest way for Apple to lose $100 billion in cash". Also, didn't they do this already. See #pixar. Hollywood is all about content and the sooner they realize it the better they will be.

Does the article write realize how silly it is to say "If the FAA was around when the Wright Brothers were testing their aircraft". So what came first the plane or the regulations?

How about Command HQ and Dan Bunton's games http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Command_HQ . I'm pretty sure Ancient Art of War predates that though. I'm showing my age.
