Or so simple as speeding when you drive? There are many laws which do not function as they should.

A raiding guild for 40 players is typically composed of no less than 60-70 regular players to deal with precisely this problem. Top guilds will often have enough players to fill th…

The factors that make it seem most like a work of fiction: - No screenshots with players visible. - Play only continues when all 30 people are online at once. Anybody who has tried…

The disregard for the physics of the situation is actually quite insulting. The "demonstration" is so far from realistic its not even worth a debunking. Here is an example of what …

Could it perhaps be that a very simple thought experiment is not a strong model for the chaotic actions of hundreds of millions of people over several years?

And, continuing back from hexadecimal, we have the splendid: 842254760070427756125843951997302119090555319708 in base 10 for the magnet link of the torrent containing the list of m…

Not exactly. There were 3.500m people alive then, and about 7.000m now, but because many of the 3.500m died and were replaced over those 44 years, you would actually be older than …

Feisal: Our own prisoners, Mr. Bentley, are taken care of, 'til the British can relieve us of them, according to the Code. I should like you to notice that. Bentley: Yes, sir. Is t…

Out of curiosity; Google Chrome was released about 37 months ago. 15 versions were released since then, so Google averaged about 15/37 versions per month, the "Chrome constant." Ly…

>As much as it pains me, because probably the price will fall even further, I'll keep some BTC around just in case... Swiss Francs, CAD, and even USD are much safer if stability is…

> but if you're branding an operator, brand it everywhere. And this behavior is what provoked the statement that the engineers are no longer in control- branding trumping usability…

Surely because what a person claims they want often varies drastically from what they actually want. http://www.ted.com/index.php/talks/malcolm_gladwell_on_spagh...

Were I to infer anything from that data, it would be that "mindshare" is not a significant metric. 95% market share, and near parity in "mindshare?" That smacks of irrelevancy to m…

From Naomi Klein's The Shock Doctrine: In February 1993, Canada was in the midst of financial catastrophe, or so one would have concluded by reading the newspapers and watching TV.…

I think there's the same dichotomy in tech journalism as there is in science journalism, perhaps other journalism as well but I'm not qualified to comment on other topic's veracity…

I maintain that the best way to get started with functional programming is to pick a functional language and try to write a program with it.

Maybe it's not reasonable now or ever but I'd quite love to think of Google as a company capable of doing things that are immensely interesting but have no obvious, immediate, prac…

To be simplistic, it seems that things are quite different this time. The fundamentals of crises may be the same or similar, but the world has -never- been linked in the way it cur…

Can you offer any criticisms or arguments to support the claim that Slavok is a "bullshit artist," outside of the claim itself, or your own qualifications to so easily dismiss a pr…

Please advise as to simple alternatives.

It doesn't seem like you understand how this would be a useful. This is not an explanation for slipping in the water and wrinkling to climb back out, it's for spending long periods…

The less free internet seems inevitable. Laws are often passed and almost never abolished. So it's a slope that you can fall down slowly while almost never climbing back up. Over t…

The set up seems sort of similar to how a mind reading magician might do his work- take thousands of phone call requests, do as you please, and claim to have responded to requests …
