When I read that at first, I though he meant that he thought Muslims should be excluded from all juries. However I think his correspondence with the court is in relation to his own trial - so he was talking about one specific jury. It might

It's amusing that people remove this mechanic and manage make the game even duller but my critique is based on playing the game according to the official rules.

A decent board game often gives you a difficult choice on each move. In Monopoly, it is nearly always a foregone conclusion, so it is not much different to playing ludo. A really good game will have you anticipating other players moves, neg

The rules and interpretations can change anytime too. The more iOS Apps and Objective C developers there are, the more entrenched Apple becomes and the worse their behaviour becomes. It's the MS playbook from two decades ago.

Apple feels its position is now strong enough that it can dictate terms.

Insuring against small losses is a waste of money. You've got to factor in the margin of the insurance company, but also the time and expense of claiming, keeping records, reading insurance terms, the potential for the claim not to be honou

You have a point - there was a large minority in the country ~30% that would always vote Fianna Fail, no matter how corrupt they were revealed to be. That's changed in the past year or two, so they are down to ~12% now and expected to get w

It's a great article and brings a lot of clarity to the events. He squarely lays the blame with Brian Lenihan - ("A single decision sank Ireland") - but I can't imagine the decision to guarantee the bondholders was his alone. Also the bus w

I think the media distribution is more important to Apple than anything else. One of the few complaints I hear about the Apple experience is the requirement to install iTunes on a computer in order to 'activate' their hardware products. Th

I'm more a fan of an impossible-to-implement wealth tax instead. That would be fairer.

I imagine they'd still make their revenue from advertising - they'd have an adsense bar. This would put the search part of the business on the same footing as other sites selling advertising space. I'm imagining a world where there are mult

I wonder if there would be a way to split Google up into multiple companies to deal with the (multiple) conflicts of interest it has viz-a-viz providing both search and buying/selling advertising. I doubt it would be good for Google stock

It is interesting about the maps, but I read the headline with the context of Google search. Any SEO experts know if Google search also penalizes 'dead-end' websites (ones with no outbound links)?

It was much more intrusive than it could have been. Also, the claim of 'Urgent' was not credible. Maybe they've managed to engage with their 500,000 sponsors. They've also shown they're willing to degrade the quality of the site to raise fu

With multiple universes, where every possibility is explored, there will always be one where you don't die. Your consciousness might be navigating you into that universe. So even when you're 104 and have only 50% of making it to your next b

I've read it before too - but thanks for the re-submission anyway. I hadn't realized the strength of the title before. 'Making Wealth' is a great phrase to evoke and question the idea of 'Making Money'.

Mmmm. Okay, but a star puts out a lot of energy, over a long period of time. Is it enough that we calculate the gravitational effect of all those photons, rather than just the mass of star itself when calculating say the acceleration of the

Hmm, thanks. I did a little more searching and reading about this with my new vocabulary (bending spacetime). It seems like photons also bend spacetime. More info here. All of it contradictory :) http://www.physicsforums.com/showthread.php

I'd always understood gravity to be a mutual attraction between two masses. So the thing I have difficulty understanding is how light can only be attracted to mass, but itself cannot attract mass, no matter the quantity present.

Something I wonder about gravity - While it is often mentioned that objects with a large gravitational force can 'bend' light (gravitational lens), can a sufficient amount of light 'pull' objects towards itself? So I wonder if a star's grav

A layer of abstration away from Paypal is the best solution. I use Plimus for payment processing, and they accept payment by Paypal. So I can accept Paypal payments without the possibility of ever having to deal directly with Paypal. As as

Interestingly, the one area where prohibition works very well is prohibition on firearms, but this is not a popular prohibition in the US.

I agree 100% - in the unregulated environment, the real evils of sex-traffiking and prostitution of minors exist side-by-side with quasi-legal adult prostitution. Properly regulated brothels don't have traffiked workers or minors, do have S
