The genetic origin of the variation in circadian phenotypes are well documented, and have been for a long time. You can work against your predispositions, but if you remove social constraints, your natural pattern will quickly re-emerge. Fu

I think that you actually have a point. It's not so much about racial than about social class divide. The fact that there's a correlation between class and race in the US and in Europe is a leftover of our recent history. Facebook is cleane

It depends on the question. The parent poster obviously closes his browser, otherwise load time wouldn't matter for him. Furthermore, your question calls for a yes/no answer, which is hardly contributing to the conversation. As for the why

It's gone here too (I'm from Belgium). Edit: it's back again, but not if you look at the year 2007 specifically. The regional differences in seasonal patterns are interresting, I think. They all exihibit a major drop in the summer months. O

They don't fix bugs in new versions, they do that in service packs and other updates. By now, anyway... Were the OSRn upgrades to Win95 free?

Actually, there should be no correlations between votes and agreement. Upvotes should reward civil comments that feed the conversation constructively. Aggressivity, and empty posts ("cheerleaders", etc.) should be downvoted. Flags are for g

Wouldn't it be possible to organise a DDOJ attack in Minesota? If this makes jurisprudence, you could flood the tribunals by simply, massively admitting filesharing, couldn't you (I say "you" because I not from the US)?

The title is incorrect (it should be "mammal, maybe vertabrate brain", rather than "human eye"), but the findings are wicked cool. But if you emulate it too accurately, you'll end up emulating it's flaws too, like change blindness... see h
