When he says "He wrote FAT on an airplane" he means with pencil and paper since FAT is so old that there were no laptops to do that on. Which maybe he figured out all of the specs,…

So the author doesn't believe in homework or at least admits he thinks its pointless, and so does his son. My my my I wonder where a smart little boy learned that from?

Well if we ruin this economy we can just create a new one. :-) And I think that's what people will do. If this society offers you nothing then just start your own (see the New Delh…

"Gentlemen start your bitchin!1!!1!!"

There it is. I wondered how far I'd have to read before we had a Java hate comment. Never fails.

Entertainment is one thing, diplomacy is completely another.

Ah yes Dennis Rodman is such a reliable source of information. He has to suck up to low life dictators. He's broke as shit! At this point Rodman is hoping to be anyone's lapdog jus…

I get the feeling the author of that piece didn't quite understand what the "subsidy" represented, hence why the author didn't explain it very well. If I can sum up what you said t…

So I thought this article was pretty opaque. They didn't really discuss the subsidy enough. They just said there was a subsidy that allowed the banks to borrow money at a reduced r…

tl;df. I guess the point was that he couldn't assimilate into civilian life and the military didn't help him after an otherwise glorious end to a career he can't talk about. There …

This method is also referred to as Mayan Multiplication which isn't necessarily exclusive to Japan or a technique the Japanese invented. It's not Mayan either, but just a neat tech…

"intimacy - a close, familiar, and usually affectionate or loving personal relationship with another person or group." Therefore, you can't experience intimacy by yourself. It requ…

But an article about antique dimensional analysis is just not on the same level in difficultly or interest as how someone observed a natural phenomenon and explained it with empiri…

"...Sun (light) traverses 2,202 yojanas in half a nimisha" Yes, but how did he measure it?

That was a touching story, and I'm sorry to hear about your father's death. My best friend's father was an alcoholic. I watched as my best friend struggled trying to build a relati…

Normally titles like this are just insipid articles of link bait, but I agree this is a handy feature. Thanks!

There is a big difference between interpreted rhino vs. compile rhino. The Rhino wikipedia page claims compiling to byte code "... produced the best performance, often beating the …

Roughly performance tests have shown: Java Performance (ms) * 1.6 = Compiled Rhino Performance (ms). So Rhino is about 60% slower than comparable Java code if you compile it to byt…

Rhino has pretty good performance. It's about 1.6x Java's performance which made it pretty darn fast for most scripting languages built on the JVM. I would expect this new project …

Why not become a contractor and you are in control of how much you work because you really work for yourself? You might not control when you are on a project, but work hard for 3-4…

So if the Chinese are just replacing people with robots why can't America, or really any nation, do that now? Or why didn't they do that sooner? If we want to bring back manufactur…

Mexico is pwned, send in the drones.

The Federal government would be insane to legalize drugs at the federal level even if they wanted to do that. Better to try a test out and see how it goes before doing it across th…

Everyone's comfort level of accepting new technology is graded on a spectrum. 3D printing is probably at the beginning of the early adopters/innovator stage. The people in this sta…

But that can be said for any basis of any tool or technology. Your use of CNC matching creates a dependency on that tool, and it's advantages and disadvantages. You've locked yours…
