Taken from the article - The old "what goes on tour stays on tour" mantra is still alive and kicking, not just in sport but beyond.

I can't find any further details on this claim. It wouldn't surprise me if it was true but benchmarks really do depend on the details. I want more info. Skipping over the use of "Hello World!" in benchmarks is anyone actually surprised by

As I poorly stated in my initial comment I am aware of this problem. My hope was that by assuming virtually nobody ran the race 10 years ago, which I assume/hope is totally inaccurate, the two errors would cancel each other out. It's a 'ba

In my case it was because I didn't realise it would be difficult to contact me without posting my email address. I like the idea of pre-qualifying people who are willing to put in a bit of effort but some text in the registration form would

It's important to note that this is limited to 100,000 participants. It's going to take a while to reach that number but it's not the entire population either. On the other hand the whole population isn't going to pay to use 23andMe eithe

Yes and no. Although it's possible to play the game successfully without recruiting other people some functionality in the game does require you to recruit other people. On the web at large I suspect this game would get a lot of complaints

I've seen slideshare used for making presentations but certainly not routinely. Dave McClure used slideshare to give his presentation at BarcampScotland2008. If I remember correctly there was just one incident when he moved backwards in th

There might be an opportunity here. The facilities of flexiscale and amazon EC2/EBS are now comparable. A service that sat on top of the two and offered geographical redundancy could be a real winner.

I can easily believe this. I'm at university, I have electronic access to a host of journals. There are some I don't though and for these I'll first speak with friends at other institutions before contacting the author.

Although I'm generally leaning this way I don't think it is for everyone. I'm currently using serendipity with a whole block of custom code duck taped on for the non-blog areas of my personal site. When I put that code together it did ever

The advisability of using this tool has already been discussed so I'll ignore that aspect and critique the tool as is . . . - It isn't clear what's the significance of the master and slave pages. I know you have a paragraph of text on the

I recently set up a new savings account and for some reason when the paperwork came through I couldn't recall the password I had used. Getting a new one issued did require a phone call but the questions asked were only the standard things

I've just noticed I'm comparing cases with deaths. Clearly some people will survive brain cancer. The death rate would appear to be 5.6 per 100,000 according to this source neuro-oncology.dukejournals.org/cgi/reprint/6/3/179.pdf It is wort

I've got to give the guy respect for giving references with his arguments but I don't think his sources are sufficient to suggest that marathon running is bad for you. It's a shame he loses much of that respect as we near reason #1 and they

Would a government protect 100 acres? I also highly doubt it. If a thousand people grouped together and bought 100,000 acres collectively you might stand a chance.

It's an interesting writeup of the effect of distance on download speed but I would say it was more 'expected' than 'surprising'. I would have been a lot more surprised if download speed increased with distance.

For me it depends entirely on the project. If it is a tiny little thing I'm going to be finished with in an hour I might use the mysql/mysqli functions. For larger projects I've used MDB2 until fairly recently. I've been playing around w

Although I like the idea of this type of service I do wonder just how useful they are. Does anyone know what the recovery rate is? There are certainly some testimonials for the paid services but most of the problems solved are recovering l

Unless you expect your height to change is there really any point to tracking your BMI in addition to your weight? Wouldn't your % body fat be better?

Ignoring the question of whether these individuals are afraid to die is there actually anything wrong with that? Identifying your fears and then working to combat and overcome them is commendable in my opinion. I suppose you could argue th

This reminds me of those adverts with a big red button and some uninformative text. Give someone a button and they're going to press it. If the reaction they get isn't what they expected they may well hold it against you.

Probably not such a good idea. We can barely find enough positions for the doctors trained in this country.
