For me it happened on 12/9

Google reader was killed because there was only one guy who knew how to support it

Sadly in many cases no; it's not magic. This nirvana is restricted to cases where there is CPU bandwidth available (e.g. some cores idle) and plenty of free RAM. When either CPU or…

That's just a circular argument

A lot of sharpshooter/sniper types who have tried it seem to say it's pretty easy. Interestingly they tend to miss the first shot (like Oswald) due to the steeper downward angle.

Recently it was revealed that the car had been modified and the back seat was quite a bit higher than is normal for that model, and the original bullet trajectory analysis was ther…

I remember reading somewhere this was for juvenile chimps only, and they lost the ability as they matured.

A system that in some context has an inheritable genotype that influences its phenotype. I add the context part so we can say a virus is alive if the context of host cells is prese…

I was on Gabapentin for back/leg pain. The doctor warned that it was very important to ramp up the dose gradually, and ramp down gradually. I followed the advice carefully and had …

I remember reading about a serious tournament game where somebody castled twice. Nobody noticed during the game. I wonder how many computer databases allow that game to be entered.…

From memory it wasn't so long ago that the laws of chess "allowed" you to play an illegal move to cause a checkmate (e.g. Qd1xf7 mate). Your opponent would say "hey that's an illeg…

It still amazes me that in the 21st century no computer can use a couple of extra monitors reliably without sometimes not detecting them, getting in the wrong resolution, or other …

In Saudi Arabia atheists are terrorists. And they also have the death penalty for terrorism.
