While wind is nice for new ships, may a first step would be to stop using awful bunker fuel in the ships that already exist.

Equium claims that the heat pump system is completely silent, despite the use of a speaker to generate the acoustic wave. The level of noise is reportedly lower than 30 dB – the eq…

I wonder how this idea will age. I haven't been to a bank branch in so long. Hell, I've written 5 checks in the last 2 years. I deposit the rare check with my phone or ATM. Why wou…

About damn time.

This idea looks like something you could commercialize!

So a group with Innovation in its name says that decreasing innovation is the "core economic problem America faces today." Hmmm. Color me skeptical.

I guess I was dreaming last Friday when I saw the Google self-driving car pass by twice on the same route, at 10:30pm. I even handled a stop with very limited visibility on one sid…

Read in John Cleese's voice.

At least for Java, this does not look as powerful as FindBugs.

A lot of that would presumably have already been read by students taking this class, especially the Shakespearian tragedies and Moby Dick and perhaps Dante's Inferno.
