"I think gold is more likely to see $500 an ounce in the next decade than $5000 an ounce." As true as this probably is, it actually highlights the fact that there is money to be made by playing the precious metal markets. This article seems

So basically the repeatInterval is expected to have one of the values of an enumeration assigned to it, where the enumerated values are calendar units (representing daily, weekly, monthly, etc.), and it somehow mishandles the value represen

It's much more likely to be a fusible alloy such as Wood's metal or Field's metal. My guess is that it's closer to Field's metal, since it is non-toxic and has a melting point very close to their advertised ideal.

So for the authors of the study, claiming health hazards would be reckless, but for journalists, writing a FUD piece in the guise of a science article is just playing it safe.

The title is sensationalist, and yes, the guy has something to sell, but the interview audio and transcript are available for free, and it's a pretty good tale.

Yeah, that analysis is egregiously wrong: the terms should be summed instead of multiplied. The correct complexity is O(n^2).

I dance capoeira, and although it isn't full-bore cardio, you spend enough time in the right zones (over the course of an hour) for it to count. Plus, it's good for all-around strength training. I didn't start out with any extra weight, so

I will never understand how someone can spend hours on a piece like this without reading it once to check for basic grammatical errors.

I feel this comment to be "right" (i.e., I agree with it), and I've published a received DMCA take-down notice, but I'm curious if there's any precedent for one getting in trouble (having their post regarded as another instance of copyright

It's amusing that they're releasing a box set for Volumes 1-4A, although I suppose it took longer to get Volume 4A to press than the entirety of the Harry Potter series (and they released a boxed set after pretty much every volume of HP). T

Looks like I picked the wrong day to buy AAPL. Wish that announcement had been something more spectacular than The Beatles on iTunes.

1) Images have been stored and leaked. 2) Individuals' genitals have been ridiculed. 3) Manual patdowns have caused at least one reported instance of an emotionally disturbed reaction. I'm all for questioning hyperbolic claims on both sides

It's unfortunately not easy to do with Chrome either (with or without extensions). I wound up downgrading to Firefox 3 from beta 4 to get back to the more mature plug-ins that make this light work.

As has been mentioned, the volume rocker on the iPad already allows "quick muting" - holding the volume decrease button decreases the volume linearly for about a half-second, then jumps immediately to mute. I have personally always hated th

I didn't get correct answers for any of the "temperature math" problems I gave it. Something's screwy on the back end.

What makes fundamental physics an exception to your rule? How fundamental would a "model" need to be to no longer be a model? It seems to me that the explicit purpose of physics is to create ever more detailed models of what happens next at

Yeah. I'm cherry-picking here, but if the creator of the language says something like the following, it's probably a bad sign. "I'm not a real programmer. I throw together things until it works then I move on. The real programmers will say

I'm not sure your example proves your assertion. This isn't sarcasm, I simply don't follow your reasoning. I will acknowledge, though, that the scriptures certainly do assert (Hebrews 11:1) the distinction between faith and proof. I was usi
