I have a somewhat nihilistic theory around the Fermi paradox. What if all intelligent life annihilates itself before reaching high enough technical proficiency to achieve widespread inter-planetary travel (or time travel). The idea is that

The first time I built a computer from scratch using TTL components was in 1978 for my senior project. I have repeated the effort a couple of times on FPGA's. If you have never tried building your own computer from scratch, you should

I work from home generally 4 / 5 days per week for a lot of reasons (commute, environment etc.). I am one of those people who cannot code in absolute silence, whatever, maybe from years of coding in a loud environment... who knows. Bu

This story reminds me of an old movie called Flatliners ( https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0099582/ ) where medical students experimented with near death by intentionally inducing cardiac arrest. If you get a life sente

Hmmm, how does the gas company afford to bury the gas pipes then ? If it's cost prohibitive for electric lines why does it pan out for gas ?

There were a number of things that go missing when going from win7 to 10, like the games, Chess Titans (and others) disappear and replaced by ad driven crap. Also, DVD player, in Windows 7 it was included in Win10 you have to buy one or get

I love it, I was wondering when someone would come along with something like this. It looks like it's pretty well thought out. I am imagining a 356 speedster kit with one of these in it would be a ton of fun!

The old trope is that there is a "fine line between genius and insanity". I was testing with above average IQ at a young age (6th grade, 11yrs old) of 160 or in that range many times since. But I have noticed that many of my fami

Maybe but there's also a lot of ink about the drop in attendance in MLB games since the stopped looking the other way on steroids, maybe there are too many games to be able to be entertaining without drugs. Maybe NBA is on there way th

I have often wondered if professional sports in an effort to increase profits, increase the number of games in a season (MLB 162 games, NBA 82, NFL 16) plus pre-season, training camp etc. I think they may actually be decreasing their profit

I think a cool product would be a cloud phone, where your phone is actually a VM in the cloud and your physical phone would be a bland minimal image. That way if they ever look at it they find nothing. But you can access your VM cloud phone
