But that implies that it's unhealthy, which it isn't. Hell, there's research to show that common ejaculation is helpful in preventing prostate cancer. The only problem is when you let it affect your life. And you reach a problem with extrem

Myth 3 is most interesting. The problem with the claim is that it implies that masturbation is somehow "junk food" in a way that sex isn't. Most people I know would suggest the opposite: sex is preferable to masturbation, which is a poor su

It is. Just depends which field. Surreals, superreals, hyperreals... People have been taking the reals and adding infinity all the time. Also, there are the cardinal numbers, for which the interesting ones consist entirely of infinity.

Many providers do cover preventative care for this reason. This is, IIRC, one of the problems in free-health-for-all places like Canada. You can get your bypass, but it may not happen until /after/ the heart attack it was supposed to preven

Number 3 seems interesting... If it catches on, architecture classes might get higher precedence in curricula. Moreover, it might unify (to some extent) the theoretical background around hardware and software.

It depends on what you're trying to do. Most phones I've used can be operated with one hand, blindly, to do common tasks (raise/lower vol. silence call). The biggest problem, though, is that modern portable devices /need/ the expressiveness

Given that multitouch has been around since the 80's or so (at least the technology), I don't think we're going to see the death of the keyboard. It's just too good of a method of input.

APL is only troublesome in that it uses bizarre characters (and is also one of those powerful paradigms that is fundamentally different from everything else). Malbolge is just... aptly named. (Malbolge is a ring of hell)

Paraphrased (ignoring some of the jargon): QSF (the quantitative techniques for finance) aren't inherently bad, just run into issues when they are tied to the actual markets. In addition, he claims that the results were probably overemphasi

It depends what you use coffee for. Given that the brain adapts very quickly to caffeine, you lose most benefits from the stimulant effect if you drink constant amounts (and there's a point at which you lose all benefit, even if you start d

Yes. At the moment, only smaller (the devices operate at ~1 Hz but may improve). The end hope is for very high density RAM or solid state memory (depending on how fast it ends up compared to SRAM and DRAM and Flash).

From what I understand, some games companies have the hopes of selling the engine separately from the game (e.g. Doom, Unreal, etc).

The three elements are the capacitor, inductor and resistor. I think when they say "fundamental elements" they mean the fundamental passive elements of analog circuit theory (mentioned above), as opposed to active elements like op-amps or t

Windows has also evolved into not a bad operating system. It gets a lot of bad press, but, as far as I can tell (I run linux) it is a quality piece of software. Basically, MSFT realized that they need to compete, so they are doing so.

For teachers, they argue that nonunion members get the same benefits as union members, so can be forced to pay union dues. Effectively, being forced into the union.

Public school administration that is. Teachers have one of the more powerful unions, and their PAC is one of the bigger spenders.

DA's may have incentives to not drop cases. Take the case of Paulette Cooper, where the Church of Scientology was later found (in Operation Snow White) to have done things like falsified evidence, etc. against people. Despite this, the DA d

One problem with his health is that he has significantly adjusted his diet, in addition to switching to organic food. This makes the conclusions about his health very suspect (Especially as Americans eat too much meat and not enough fruits/

"Battery chemistries have improved since the old NiCad days, but they will still exhibit some memory." This is incorrect. Lithium ion batteries do not exhibit memory. However, the digital tools to check them can develop a memory, which lead

People have tried the CEO pay thing. Ben and Jerry's, specifically. They limited to something like 10x. And completely failed to find any qualified candidates who were willing to work for that. Then they raised it slightly (14x?) to get som
