True. Most of the people doing the cleanup obviously aren't employees of BP. But my point is that there should be a lot more people (esp. people who can work on the water). Obama, simply by being there, could add a lot more weight to that e

I just wish Obama were down there leading the effort to clean this all up. There shouldn't be unemployed fishermen standing in line for handouts from the Catholic Charities. Everyone available there should be full tilt on cleanup. If I thin

The only problem with the financial industry is that after ten years or so you realize that 20% more of 80%* of the minds of people are motivated by a greed that simply doesn't exist in other industries. *I read people's minds.

Good point. And I don't know how the vocabulary test was made. I think the monotonicity can be explained by, in general, people who read marginally more are marginally exposed to more things (even after to discounting for the important fact

Ironically, I learned a new word: 'confound' ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Confounding ). And then I realized that the last chart has confounds. Intelligence and vocabulary are correlated, but worth differentiating in this case. A higher

Right. :) Basically, it sounds like they're utilizing the hardware as much as possible. '...more often [than other tablets or than would seem normal]'. I.e., more gpu or more specialized use of the hardware, less general-purpose cpu. The in

I agree with you. But, although I haven't studied this event all that carefully, there is a difference between corporate espionage or some sort of malicious attempt at blatantly undermining Apple -- and the way Gizmodo presented their story

Good point. I don't regret my time spent writing in Java. I think in many ways it improved on previous languages and clarified a lot of things that are pretty murky in C++ (like how objects have both a 'dynamic' and 'static' type). And it's

I imagine the rationale was something like: how do we indicate that types are references to memory? Let's be concise and use the asterisk after the type of the memory. How do we dereference an address? Since it only makes sense that types w

Perhaps one assumption in this business philosophy is that you have to be really clear to everyone about why they're being given certain liberties and why it's important. The only way I could see people not 'acting like adults' is if they t

Good point. Though they could theoretically setup a separate financial entity that paid 5 million but was separate from the Mozilla foundation. And this separate entity might not really have to pay fees until 2015 or something unless I'm re

I imagine I'm missing something. But why couldn't Mozilla use an extension that supports H264? Similar to Ubuntu's nonfree packages? I imagine the HTML5 video tags are pretty deep in Gecko, but surely they could 'pave the way' with a clear

Quite interesting (would've been VERY interesting in the 50's). Splitting the way of looking at the world into two sides -- religion and science -- is itself a 'perspective', if you will. But establishing that dichotomy is somewhat useful.
