The author of this article writes more for us, people who want just the substance, on his blog: http://scienceblogs.com/cortex/ He still wraps the information, but not to the extent he does for other publications and he frequently separat

Both of you got it right -- the value is in being ready to adapt to change.

i believe the grievance is from a lack of 'commons.' there used to be a lot more space that was considered owned by the public, which is an idea that doesn't have much space in our contemporary society. some wiki info: http://en.wikipedia.

i used to get back pain from working too much as well, but a chair solved that. i think i take more breaks now too, which was a factor as well, but the chair upgrades made the biggest difference. i love my freedom chair: http://www.human

this is why on a previous post about bioinformatics, i suggested that although this field is highly interesting, if you get involved, please, don't kill us all. the potential for disaster here is much larger than a nuclear disaster, cautio

I'm a fan of RIPEMD-160 with salts, it is my default hashing algorithm that i use in my apps. MD5 sits alongside CRC checksums for me when I think about security. For symmetric encryption, I like AES.

I do not have a facebook account (and no twitter, myspace, any of that...). if those ever got merged into firefox, the next thing to do for me would be to compare chrome, safari, and ie to figure out what my next default browser is.

This is a fundamental practice of quality management. In the 'Total Quality Management' approach (inspired by Deming's work) the idea is called Kansei and it essentially means: watching how the user users the product will lead to improveme

id like to add this, it's different from your normal pc vs mac stuff: if apple at any point does take the majority of the personal computing market, we're all in trouble. at least when MS was being more punky and cornering OSs and producti

i believe that's because they get to run their -nix apps and rich apps (OS X/Cocoa) - mix in some Parallels and they got their windows apps too. that said, i have no interest in owning an apple machine because [1] i can run -nix apps on my

sure, the poster seems to be under the impression that lying to get business is something new in web 2.0, and these black hat SEO strategies, teasing consumers, puffing up businesses to look bigger than they are etc are something unique to

this is quite an easy problem. it takes a short time to integrate twitter as an option, and then you can promote the idea on your site, and see if people switch, and how many people use them in conjunction. then if time doesn't tell you on

This is a very well done presentation - I am genuinely impressed. We could use more of these types of explanations. The more people who understand, the more help we have.

this was a complicated procedure....if i remember correctly, i installed ie8, then i opened firefox and it said "make default browser?" and i hit "yes" -- that was the end of it. good thing people write articles to help people with this

the best thing about these css frameworks is because they are built to be maintained and such, reading through them can give you ideas for coding practices. if you can't write your own css, then you're a document creator, much like someone

On the technical side, there's no reason that FireFox should lose out to Chrome, but I think the argument that he is making is that Chrome has a better design, and user experience - an idea he sums into FF not feeling right. If Chrome add-o

This makes absolutely no sense to me. OpenID does not dictate anything about the user experience. The site that is using OpenID places a log in textbox, decorate as you wish, which takes you to your OpenId provider...which is the experien
