So why not give them soda and snacks? It's cheap and easy retention, if that's what they want. The author is right, getting rid of $10k in expenses isn't worth it if it costs your the core of your team.

Fair Use under US copyright isn't cut and dry, to say the least. Columbia University has released a checklist to determine if a use is 'fair' or not. http://copyright.columbia.edu/copyright/fair-use/fair-use-ch... Note: I don't think it's

Slate's take on this article is particularly interesting and has one strong perspective about Lehrer - http://www.slate.com/articles/health_and_science/science/201... (not a positive viewpoint)

Especially if your theme, or anything close to your wordpress install (other plugins, etc) use any javascript libraries that might share variables or have different version numbers. Agreed.

Interesting to see the future of Bullet Time, too. RED camera recently did a shot that they can't yet talk about, but the setup pictures of 50+ RED Scarlet cameras is very cool. http://www.reduser.net/forum/showthread.php?87124-Scarlet-De.

What do they mean by CPU Priority? I'm assuming that meant access to part of a processor, but how does that work with 4 CPU and 16x priority? (I'm working on the assumption that 1x priority ~= 1 core.) Of course, my assumption is probably w

Completely doable; even in a smaller vehicle. I spent the second half of grad school living in a Hyundai Elantra - take out the back seats, sleeping between the trunk and the back seat. Not the most comfortable living, but completely doable

Although watching it at NAB in 4k was quite impressive, I'll say. It gives me hope for future tech in the film-making realm.

Morozov (the post's author) has also written a book called The Net Delusion that provides a good background on the less-friendly parts of the Internet. I recommend it for those just entering the IT/Internet-based business world.

Not as much as I'd like, really. The events at the memory championship are geared towards short-term (not short-term memory, but < 1 hours between memory and recall). Additionally, some events occur twice (random cards, for example) bac

Card counting in the blackjack sense, not really. That's just reading the cards and adjusting. That being said, in other games it can be very helpful - remembering poker hands, etc...

I love my 280's, but I have trouble hacking with them unless I leave one ear partially off. Their around-ear noise-canceling design puts the music front and center, and I prefer to hear the music in the background farther away when hacking.

Although the new Final Cut Pro X eats RAM for breakfast. Our editing Mac Pro at work regularly uses 16GB+ when working in FCPX with multiple projects and events. Frustrating at times, to say the least.

I'd lean towards the idea he's half correct - small amounts of progress are relatively guaranteed to be made by someone with experience and lots of background in the field. However, for someone to revolutionize or fork a given field, perhap
