I don't know if you are right or not, and I think it is hard to measure. I certainly think you don't deserve downvotes for your otherwise positive message though.

In neighborhoods near me we have gently sloping curbs. They are about a foot wider than the normal 90 degree curbs I see in more dense urban areas. It is easy to notice from the car if you pull partially up onto them. I suspect it also make

What does it matter who is responsible if many 100s of thousands of lives can be saved. Blame is just a social construct, death is a bit more permanent. NK is killing thousands in labor camps and will continue to do so. This is all without

What is the point were you can start shooting? I know that where I live, Nebraska, the rare instance when someone breaks into a home and gets shot the homeowner is in the clear. There is often talk of "castle doctrine" but I don&#

Bombs aren't distributed by tiny self-reproducing nano-machines that outnumber humans a trillion to one. A bacteria making an enzyme that allows it to gain nutrition from plastic would certainly be an interesting problem for humanity.

Most cameras only have a range of brightness they can pickup. The rings of Saturn and the Earth are very bright compared to the background stars. The camera is set to let only a little light in, perhaps by having a shorter exposure or somet

Pcwalton provide me new information and did change my opinion on some things and I suspect I gave him at least some new perspective. You... Clearly just want me to agree with you without applying any critical thought of my own. You implicit

Depends on the game. Drop a frame in a competitive First Person Shooter and be ready for death threats. Drop a frame in an angry birds clone and be ready for 5 stars in a review just because you made your first game. I suspect you could cou

You are right that the type system waters are muddied by a variety of technologies and perhaps that isn't the best line to draw. I think your focus on the semantics of static vs dynamic dodges much of my point. The crux of my argument

I had a misunderstanding with Google earth vs maps. I used Google maps in Firefox just fine, and that is what I meant earlier. I was unaware even of the existence of a web based version of Earth. The last time I used Google earth was as a d

Garbage collection is the bane of smooth framerates. Players notice when the framerate drops. Presuming a pretty typical 60 Frames Per Second you have a tight 16.6ms time budget to do all of the work for the entire frame. All of the physics

I am taking what you say about historical events as you say it, but It still doesn't seem like the move is "anti-competitive". At worst its bad engineering. Its not like there is some new killer feature in the new google maps

There are also ways out of med school that are less than critical failures. Did someone who failed to become a doctor but became a Nurse fail? Pick a path with many options allows one to be flexible in the future.

Santa Claus is Saint Nicholas, in order to become a Saint you have to performed miracles in the eyes of the Catholic church. He certainly does have super power, at least the ability to resurrect childre, if he is real.
