This depends on how you define "of our choosing". There are a number of practical social situations where an understanding of divisibility can be useful. For instance, say a group of social animals of equal rank stumble upon some berries an

Humans may have invented them, but they are a pretty natural concept. Once you have a system of numbering, one of the first things one does is to see which numbers can be arrived at by simply adding other numbers to themselves a bunch of ti

Honestly, why is it such a bad thing when a company with absurdly high profit margins delegates some of the income back into improving the general standard of living for everyone. Call it what you like. Write it off as them improving their

As a 19 year old kid thats trying to learn web programming right now (After becoming reasonably proficient in java first), I can tell you first hand that there is a pretty big barrier to entry. It's frankly just hard to know what all the m

So like the cassettes are just like 3D models of boxes with a skin applied? And the phone and laptop are also rendered in 3D, and then rotated and skinned? It seems like it would be quite a bit of work to make that cell phone in 3D max (mos

Thats cool, but I wasn't able to figure out how to turn on the feature within bing maps. Also, its frustratingly buggy, and asks for silverlight to get many of the cool features natively available in google maps.

You could do it exclusively on newegg initially. Their service and selection is great, and prices are pretty fair.

Sure, but generally money is given to people when they do some sort of service for other people. If you have a cook, you pay them to cook you food, and you got the money from some other place cause you performed some other service for someo

Oh ok, now it makes sense. You might want to say like storage device instead of cache, that would have made it less confusing for me to understand from reading the wiki. It also seems like the system is just begging for caches to go missing

By "magic" do you mean "through the internet" or is something cleverer going on? Also, by cache are you generally referring to some place where files are stored? Or does it mean something else? I understand the system I just described does

I don't really understand. So the goal of this is for the program to tell the person with files to load them up on a hard disk and then give them to the person requesting the files, who then picks them up from the dropbox, loads them on her

yeah but in working for his groceries, it doesn't seem as though he created any value to anyone in the process. I guess he was brand loyal, but it seems like the work didn't benifit anyone else in society, which is in contrast with actual w

The article should make it clear who should be contacted to express negitive opinion about such a bill. Its not immediatly obvious as it is.

Yeah, but if you do it wrong, then it just feels as though the program talks down to you. I agree that designing the architecture to be easy to explore and learn is a great idea, to me it seems that the best application to a help interact w

I just wish it had the option to find all available flights under a certain price. I'm a college student and wouldn't mind just randomly going to a random local for a little while if it was cheap enough.
