I think one of the original ads for the iPhone used nytimes.com to show off how it could browse the "real" web.

You know what I'll never know? Why people think they know better than the scientific community after reading a few pop science articles. If you have a single issue with gravitons that can be expressed mathematically , show us.

I am unable to edit or delete any of my comments more than a few minutes old. I assume this goes in hand with the fact that I can't downvote folk either.

Reading the bulb's wikipedia article, sounds like it is not really the bulb's technology that's responsible -- it is very low power (4 watts!), and has a dedicated steady power source. (I previously lived in an apartment with erratic power

I've heard that internally, they call this practice "fast-following". I guess they had to invent some double-speak so the game devs didn't feel so bad in meetings! They actively look for small games that are just starting to become success

I found the article weird in that respect. None of these laws seem particularly odious -- the ones that seem unjust could have been avoided by prosecuters using their discretion. Also, I'm amused by an article about injustices in the crimi

> To accuse the author of lying because of that is despicable and rude. Either the OP edited their comment, or you are yourself somewhat off base -- I see no such accusation. And I see no evidence they realized this was a two part art

Yeah, no Frys where I live. :( We recently got an apple store though, I would never have thought to look there for cables. For some reason assumed they'd be overpriced... :)

It's a view I've often come across on indie game-related blogs. Companies like Zynga help push the issue to the fore-front: They get continuous real time data about how changes in their games effect player behavior, and try to use that to m

No such thing follows from icebraining's logic.[1] If you think otherwise, lay out explicitly how you think the two cases are similar. [1]Err, unless you are Lady Gaga.

I was taking issue of the OPs use of the word "license." A license grants you additional rights you would not otherwise possess. If I'm discussing what actions are, by default, allowed -- well, it isn't very useful to tag a clause onto eve

If they're making money off my paper I want a cut. They don't make any money by distributing your work. Nor does the quality of your work in any way affect how they make money off of it. I can't know if this is technically a violation o

What is wrong with that quote? When discussing common criticisms of Mork, wikipedia states that: "The conflicting requirements gave Mork several suboptimal qualities. For example, despite the aim of efficiency, storing Unicode text takes t

I think r/programming used to be opt-out. (Wasn't it the first subreddit?) Might be wrong, though. But yeah, I only use reddit for particular subreddits these days.

The article doesn't touch on the fact that all this scholarship, usually funded in some way with taxes, is locked up behind pay walls unless you want to pay $10-$40 per article (that's probably a bigger obstacle). However, ArXiv works beca

The video contained a lot of weird phrasings, probably due to translation... I'd assume that this is more of that.

Back in 2004, Edward Tufte defined and developed the concept of a “sparkline”. Odds are good that — if you’re reading this — you’re familiar with them and how popular they’ve become. Really? I've definitely read about sparklines, but I'v

Although, a lot of why it looks better is that there aren't any ad... I'd assume that this won't last.

I don't think this has anything to do with how much content a user uploads. They specifically said that “For about 80 minutes we ran out of disk space on the service that keeps track of notifications .” So probably they had allocated some

Typically a review paper describing the software is what is actually cited, but yes! For instance, in my department there is a guy who maintains an astrophysical software package called Cloudy. The faq[1] describes how to cite it. (Unlike
