Even if, medically and biologically, this diet is compatible with humans, do people really want to give up eating food for taste? The "spice of life" in a literal sense.

I thought this was common knowledge. All those reports that Bush was said to have been supplied with prior to 9/11, even days before. It's no surprise that spying is ongoing. The s…

This implies that the petitions that don't follow the provisions are actually useful.

I thought my asteroids game in assembly was cool. Great job!

TL;DR: If the CAs are compromised, the protocols they use are compromised.

Doesn't Yahoo power the weather app, making that point meaningless? Also, how does this make these companies "losers"? Competition is good for business, and the businesses that are…

This... looks like Windows Phone.

Seems BS to me. Looks just like their "performance" pages for the Macbook Pro on the Apple website.

"Can't innovate anymore, my ass". Uh... what exactly is being "innovated" here?

"Microsoft cannot provide those guarantees. Neither can any other company." The most telling and most important line in the article. Recent days have made it abundantly clear that …

Because complaining on the Internet is way easier than doing something proactive. Less dangerous, too.

The Wikipedia ideals of having open, unbiased, and free access to information and being able to freely collaborate and edit articles directly conflict. If editing is "free", so too…

The reactions stop at 56 because Iron has the highest binding energy of any element, which the author doesn't mention. Even under the extreme conditions of stellar nuclear fusion, …

Typical overzealous and incorrect analysis. Facebook may have failed for the author, but Facebook is not a failure. Its user base, advertising base and page traffic paint quite the…

The example for transport encoding doesn't seem all the more simplified than things as they currently stand. Sure, the field names are a little shorter and easier to read, but ther…

Predictable enough, but who knows.

Very cool! I wonder if everything holds about the same way for the new 'L-shaped' connectors?

The LAPD has (rightfully) gotten a bad rap lately, but what do you expect when you have a realistic, armed, life-size military figure facing outward toward the street...

Damn, I thought yoga was supposed to help you calm down and chill out. I did really like the author's parallelisms to entrepreneurship, though.

If it gathers light in the infrared spectrum, how is noise eliminated? Ambient room temperature is an infrared-peak blackbody. I'd like to see more on the filtering that has to go …
