You have to take into account sweat as well. A boxer's face is probably going to be sweaty as they exert themselves quite a bit during a fight. As a result, the blood is going to get watered down. I tried to find pictures to verify my

Given that this is a naturally-occurring hormone, is there any chance that taking Melatonin regularly could cause your body to "get lazy" and eventually produce less of its own?

Great for touchscreen, but tricky with a mouse. I would like to see an option for drawing gears where mouse down sets the center of a new gear and dragging away determines the radius.

It also works with smartphones, which most people have and use regularly. Not to mention the fact that the kind of person who would buy a Chromecast is probably an above-average user anyway.

In my experience, "good" code and "pretty" code are the same thing - and similarly for "bad" and "ugly". Of course, when I say "pretty", I mean well laid-out, properly documented, non-spaghetti code. I've spent far too much of my time teari

I use so many different services/sites that having a different password for each one is unrealistic. Here's a small sample: Personal email, work email, version control at work, Github, bank, university systems, personal computer, work compu

This is questionable. If I enter 15 random alphabet characters, it gives me 49 years. 15 numbers is 2 days. 15 characters of punctuation is 743,000 years. If the cracker was trying to brute force a password, then they would have to try ever

I use Astrid all the time to keep track of things I need to do, so I will be very disappointed if (read: when) Yahoo shuts it down and opens up a new "Yahoo To-Do" service. I understand the willingness of small businesses to be acquired, bu

In grade school I had an argument with my science teacher about wheels. She said that a point along the outside of a wheel moved faster than a point nearer to the center (which is absolutely correct). However, she followed that up by saying

That seems quite cynical. Kiva is quite successful, and they offer no incentives at all; you just loan $25, wait for it to be repaid, then loan it out again. http://www.kiva.org/

Different areas have different packages, or at least differing availability. The best package available in my area is 28mbps and unlimited bandwidth for $62/month.

Don't even get me started on what they did to Textedit. Apparently there's no such thing as saving anymore - it does it for you automatically. That one has bit me quite a few times...

You would have to learn quite a bit. Pick a language that you know almost nothing about, preferably one whose alphabet you can't recognize without looking it up. Now use a website built in that language. Is this potentially an exaggeration?

Putting scare-tactics on cigarette packaging works because the person buying them is "in the wrong" and needs to be "scared away". Negative reinforcement to make an action or habit less desirable. I'm no psychologist, but I would guess that

The author also doesn't specify if he's counting bulbs that were already switched off. There are dozens of bulbs in my house, but only a few on at a time.

If something like that was implemented, I would hope that it would be turned off by default and hidden away under the "here be dragons" section of Chrome's settings.
