It's amazing how much that picture on the right looks like Weird Al in the "White and Nerdy" music video.

The point of speaking out should not be to stop the government from continuing it's policies, which is futile. It should instead be to educate people about the flaws in these policies so that when they do fail it will be understood that it

Even if you do low level throttling that maintains the stability of the system, it doesn't necessarily ensure usability. Who would want to use webhooks if there was much of a chance of frequently getting flooded by spam? It doesn't matter i

How does this compare to the oxbridge tutorial method? I haven't actually experienced it; others are probably more knowledgeable in this regard. Basically, the way I understand it is that while the students do attend lectures, the focus of

Scarcity is impossible to eliminate. Even if you got rid of all of the costs of production, there would still be limits on human creativity and time. Even if you made infinite ai, so that creativity was unlimited, and made humans immortal,

As far as I know, deflation cannot cause inflation. Maybe the governments response to deflation (print money!) can cause inflation, but the destruction of value and the reduction of the money supply cannot cause the overvaluation of assets

There are several major problems with inflation (meaning a vast expansion of the money supply through government spending, resulting in a rise in prices, and a fall in the value of the dollar): 1) That purchasing power went somewhere. Inste

Compared to many of the alternatives at the time, php was easy. Until you are trying to make a large application that needs lots of abstraction and careful architecture, it stays easy. It is very easy to get something to work quickly in php

>But if you pay people from donations directly then it's not OK to pay a lot. Unless the donator is aware of the fact that you are paying your employees with the donations, and choose to give anyway. In fact, most large charities have e

I was wondering when this would happen. Hopefully it will work ;) Hopefully this could be used to make an alternate, resource-less, internet. If the gpg signing can ensure enough security, web developers won't need host servers (to an exten

It is really interesting that they're applying this to FPGA's. Reconfigurable computing would be great, if it was a) easy to program for and b) cheaper. This could solve the cheaper part, and make it even more powerful at the same time. How

Finally a way to monetize YouTube. ;) It's pretty neat that the technology not only handles pans, zooms, and rotation, but also shadows and people walking in front of the 'screen'. It seems like a much more advanced version of the first dow

In that case, maybe you should post links to them; they'd probably provide an interesting, welcome alternative to articles this.

Another thing to think about: If a particular religion were seriously applied to its fullest, should it make a person better or not? This method helps separate individual variability from the actual effects of religion. Note that many relig

Part of the problem is that the distinction here is between "religious" and "atheist", not taking into account the many different forms "religion" takes, and the different degrees to which it can be applied. There are many religions out the

I suppose it depends what you mean by poor tolerances. In the beginning their stuff was pretty bad, but recently it has gotten a lot better. Here's some pictures of stuff they made a few months ago (large): (jar and lid) http://tinyurl.com

The main plastics used are ABS and HDPE. HDPE is commonly used in milk jugs, so you could recycle your own milk jugs and make stuff at the same time. Obviously, since all they are doing is melting a thermoplastic and extruding it, it is tri

The title is somewhat misleading. OpenOffice did very well, and 3 million copies of the recent update were downloaded in one week. This may be a record for OpenOffice, but it falls far short of a real "record", as firefox 3 had over 8 milli

If you need a quick fix for the terrible style, paste this in your address bar, or run it via firebug: javascript: function f(){s=document.body.style;s.backgroundColor="white";s.color="black";s.fontSize="10pt";s.fontFamily="arial";}f();
