Seriously. I thought the whole article was interesting, but then I read that and I was like "Are you kidding me?". I love the theory of evolution and all... but why toss it in their randomly... it made no sense whatsoever. It definitely dis

I agree, "Russians Continue to Upgrade Doomsday Device" would have been an even better attention grabber for the article title.

perhaps, but this is talking back during the cold war (maybe today would be different). I would think that we'd be too afraid to try something like that during the cold war in fear of starting a legitimate war. But again, maybe that would b

I still think it's a little odd that they wouldn't want to simply achieve both goals at once by telling people about it. That would still mean that they would be less likely to preemptively pull the trigger themselves, and at the same time

Oddly enough, I'm actually a little relieved that it does eventually come down to a person's decision. I guess if the decision is to end the world, a 24 year-old junior officer is as qualified to make the decision as anyone else. I'm defini

I'm pretty interested in the stock market, so when I'm not actively working on something on both monitors I like to have real-time stock information up on my secondary (using the thinkorswim desktop application). I get a little obsessive so

I'll just say: sometimes, the most innocent and un-biased opinion is from someone that has no standing in the matter. I would say that I'm on neutral ground, being neither predominately in either industry. That said, I feel that the current

While fairly introspective, I wasn't really sure what this was trying to say. Is it saying that he doesn't want to charge for anything he does so that he can't be valued? I instead hope to charge as much as possible for as many things as po

That's a good point, and I agree that it's highly unlikely that anyone will have the time or resources to execute an idea I share with them. I would hope that they get excited about the idea though, to the point where they wish they could d

I don't think I can do this, lol. I tried relaxing without work to do for a week recently during a school break and by the end of it I felt lazy and self-loathing... as if I had spent the whole week doing nothing but watching Judge Judy and

I would say I think in pseudo-code, using natural language to describe the problem in a way that can be converted to code ("for all of these values in this array/container...", etc). That said, I work a lot in C#, so I usually go right to t

I think we still have a lot of room for progress, but I think it's going to take another leap in technological innovation for that to happen (there's a rapidly approaching point where we just won't be able to make a silicon-based processor

I might be crazy, but I believe a pretty significant reason that many people have kids is so that they... can have a family? I'm also fairly sure that most people are not expecting their kids to make them any money, or go bragging about the

In reality, I have a hard time imagining that anyone would be able to distinguish anything meaningful from a display on a contact lens. That's like suggesting that you could read a printed word on a contact lens today. You wouldn't be able
