I wonder if there are any applications in building biological robots? I don't know too much about the process so perhaps this is far fetched but if you could build a robot with organic appendages that could be "swapped out" o

The racial aspect of this is perhaps the most concerning. In my home state of Virginia we have one of the worst problems with this and somewhere around 20% of black individuals cannot vote. ( http://www.naacp.org/page/-&

I think they can legally fingerprint you and use that to unlock the phone but they cannot force you to reveal your password because you would be forced to incriminate yourself. (If you did in fact commit a crime)

I do search in the browser and this is generally quicker although part of the reason I search more often is the search box widget that I have on every home screen. Lack of support for true widgets is really an unfortunate gap in the iPhone

I search more on my Android compared to my (former) iPhone but as my Galaxy S4 ages it has becoming increasingly slow to open the search app and slow to open the browser. Sometimes I avoid searching entirely just because the latency is too

Sounds more likely to me that some people within the Pakistani intelligence knew Bin Laden was in the country, similarly individuals within the US intelligence community knew and had known for a while that he was in Pakistan if not specific

It might be interesting to see Twitter modify their core service on some variation of what I posted, but also reopen their API and serve as a backbone for real time messaging applications that other developers can use either at the cost of

I'm not saying change the 140 character limit. As it stands there is usually a limit of 0 characters because by the time I fit a link, mentions, and a retweet into a tweet I am over the limit. Make these things not count against that l

Idris Elba is an excellent actor and I'm looking forward to watching this. I'm also hoping to see him as the next James Bond when Craig's contract runs up.

I think you are drawing a distinction between games where the odds are constant and built into the game, (eg roulette), and games where there is a degree of skill involved but still an element of chance, eg. sports betting where a person wi

Actually the GIL is not necessarily an issue for NumPy since C extensions can break the GIL. I don't see why this needs to be a winner take all competition between languages for statistics. It's worthwhile to have different approa
