I don't think we pile it so high, though I have never worked in whichever civil service branch handles snow so it is only based on life-experience. I have never seen a pile so high…

I really enjoyed this book on the discovery and definition of electromagnetism. Faraday, Maxwell, and the Electromagnetic Field: How Two Men Revolutionized Physics ( http://www.ama…

I was wondering if anyone had information about this. It looks like it ties to Microsoft HealthVault. That is not available in Canada. It appears (from the outside) that MS sold th…

I agree with you but for discussions sake... What if this wasn't classified as a corner case? As you said - most MSOs are running either an old Moto or old SA as their standard box…

This looks to be shaping up well. Might I suggest a new word for "Favorites" though. Maybe it is silly but it seems odd to me to Favorite gore pictures et. al. "Important" or "Impa…

I think they are implying you only pop() when you are doing the replacement (Trim). The rest of the time you Sink and Swim depending on how the LRU was done. IE: every time you get…

Reminds me of Stable Matching[1] but the groups aren't the same size. I guess if we can relax the "opposite sex" requirement then we reduce the problem to a Stable Roommates Proble…

Political musing aside I think it may be disingenuous to compare modern collision-free Ethernet vs shared-medium solutions. Modern Ethernet over twisted-pair connect directly to a …

I am not a doctor. The body is quite good at keeping high ox levels. If your ox level is too low cell damage can occur, organ damage, etc. If your ox level gets way to low your die…

I wouldn't use the headrest personally. In an accident the magnets will detach and the ipad will become incredibly dangerous to the passengers in the car.

Cool idea. I am confused by the implication of this code var prices = new(Table, String, Int); put(prices, $(String, "Apple"), $(Int, 12)); Stack objects are created with "$" so th…

To answer number one: - Increasingly health monitors are on a network so that all the stats of a ward can be displayed at a central nursing station. The alternative is to turn the …

I had the exact same thing happen in Canada. Asked for Amazon gift cards for the Kindle I just got for Christmas. Got hundreds of dollars worth. None of it usable for my actual Kin…

Yes, 1st gen are getting the upgrade as well. From: http://www.nest.com/blog/2012/10/02/the-next-generation-nest...

I bought one 3 months ago (damn!) and am very happy with it. I can't say for sure I saved X dollars but between airwave, auto-away and it's easy scheduling (compared to my old, con…

I felt the WP7 icons looked 'ok' until I saw/used them in person. The movement aspects of the tiles, personally, are important to the overall feel of the home screen. I really like…

Just as an anecdote: I used to stream my Netflix through my console (PS3) as my primary usage of said console. I got so frustrated with having to do Software Updates, seemly "every…

I think almost every company would have to have such a banner. Everyone has a price. Even Marco ("and they didn’t want to pay enough"). Some prices are higher than 'the market' wan…

That is interesting because I really like the aesthetic. Some of the apps I have used are indeed not consistent but I found the same on iPhone and android as well. Another thing I …

I don't think twittering teens is their target market. "To help tell the story, we introduce our muses, Anna, Miles and their son, Luca. They represent classic Life Maximizers – bu…

I just switched to a WP (Titan II) last week. It may be new phone smell but I really like it. I wasn't a heavy app user though. In showing the phone to my family/friends the bigges…

Do you have any good links/references/experience with 'managing social media'? My wife has been offered a social media position with a small local company but neither of them know …

I don't think so, obscure but not anonymous. Here: http://developer.mintchipchallenge.com/devguide/developing/c... Each transfer message has both the Sender and Receiver encoded wi…
