There is nothing that surpasses SGIscreen at 10 or 11px. As a bonus, it requires some leetness to find and use.

No, BMI should not be used as the sole measurement in some government unhealthiness tax scheme, but is a very good measure in most cases. The "incredibly fit" people with high BMIs already know they are fit.

I hope this is tongue-in-cheek :) Just in case it is not, they are not referring to that kind of law.

Yes, but he claimed that 6-8000 calories per day was "easy" to kind of just happen. It is not, unless the ease refers to indeed going to McDonalds three times a day plus a "snack" of french fries and a milkshake inbetween. Phelps proves a p

I can anecdotally disagree with that...in fact, the only reason I got a Twitter thingy after resisting for about two years is because the crowd in my IRC hangouts incessantly refer to "tweets." Twitter is certainly not a replacement for IRC

As Marx summarised it, capitalism is characterised by a pattern of cyclical booms and crashes, generally crashing deeper each time. He was not, actually, positing that it would eventually collapse but that it may survive its cycles so long

Well, strictly speaking scalability means scaling both up and down. "Scripting languages" may fail on the former, and C certainly fails on the latter.

For those options, get the newer car; it will almost certainly be more environmentally friendly than an old one. If you do not care about such things, cars in need of body work will save you a decent amount -- just make sure there is no str

Looking at the Submit page, there is a spot for the URL and another one for a title. I may certainly be mistaken as I have never used it, but I would think those two fields are just for the described purpose?

I pointed out that there is no need for a seeming disadvantage to be offset by some redeeming advantage. You could come up with any number of possible reasons if you were looking for a "reason," although it could simply be a side-effect o

Since the submitter did not see necessary to add information about "plinky", my hesitant 5-second peek at the unknown URL reveals some type of weird poll/questionnaire site with probably some "social media" scheme.

Highly misleading topic line here, and to a lesser degree on readwriteweb.com. The actual question was > "What is the most important new platform for brands to master?" The question implies a more public-facing concern than what LinkedI

Well, here is the thing: no, there does not have to be a reason . Nearly all of the problems "accepting" or understanding evolution stem from the mistaken assumption that evolution has "goals", or "reasons" or even that it is the "survival

I am not sure how much of humanity's history can be gleaned from Dickens books, good as they are...at most they tell us that in a certain part of the world, in a certain period, some children in certain classes of society were made to "earn

One quite important factor that is easy to overlook is that a very significant number of people on the .eu side will not only do this 3-or-so-year bachelor's/licenciate/candidate degree, but also the additional 2-3 year master's degree. In

I think the idea is giving people the opportunity to work out, even a bit of a nudge, might set them on the right track. It could, for example, be a 20-minute jog and then trying out a different sport every "class."

"Do not use Google's products or services when you can avoid it" is probably a reasonable guideline if one is concerned? A milder version would be "try to distribute your services between different providers." The question to ask is not so

It would be more likely to be Google fighting dirty, casually reminding everyone who owns the Internet, and how it would be a shame if some kind of an accident were to happen to it, such a pretty Internet that it is.

Americans have a fundamentally different relationship with their High School days from anyone else. Popular culture certainly is not helping shed the obsession, the sense that High School is the defining time in one's life[1]. Somehow it se
