The bottom interactive graph is kinda neat. Setting zero friction and minimal spring tension and gravity center turns the whole thing into a spheroidal structure much like the accretion of objects in space.

Animals do not grow as fast on grass. Also, they do not taste the way Americans like their animals to taste. Land availability also plays a factor as it takes more acre per animal using grass vs corn/sugar.

It's not that ship spinning is some preferred activity in Eve, it's simply a preferred activity vs. Captains Quarters (CQ). The problem with CQ is that it did not run very good on most machines and the movement of the characters was very s

Free only works if everyone participates equally. If just one person is lazy, the system crumbles from resentment. Money does not create inequality, it simply is the scorecard to show the inequality of those people involved in the system.

What basic right is that?

Soon the guilty will have more rights because the innocent will have none.

I've always been curious about this. If electrons are spheres and so are protons and neutrons, what type of matter is filling up the area in between? Are protons and neutrons not spheres? Can electrons get squished into different shapes

More and more people have been bringing laptops to some of my classes. I find the clicking keys to be very annoying. I'd go nuts if the whole class typed their notes.

While the safest, the waste will be with the Earth for a long time to come. Longer than any corporation will be around, or government agency. There has to be a clear cut plan to deal with the waste of nuclear power that accounts for it's

I've never had a reason to go above 60wpm. Just like reading, I see the words in my head and choose not to break that barrier.

"Think of it this way: Would you rather have someone working at 60 per cent of capacity for 11 hours a day, or someone who only puts in eight working hours a day, but by taking breaks to renew and recharge, is able to operate at 95 per cent

What if people simply want to avoid checkpoints and not have the interruption in their day?

The problem lies in costs. A monopolistic company keeps costs down due to scale. Any other business cannot enter the market on a competitive level because they cannot meet the same price structures.

That's awesome. I'm glad they are giving the users more options. I searched for how to bake a cake to finally block ehow from my results. How good that feels. Trash sites are about to feel the sting I imagine. That reminds me, need to

I'm curious how higher gas prices are really going to drive alternative fuels. If gas prices go so high that alternative forms of transportation are needed, that will also constitute a massive switch in infrastructure. With gas prices bei

Well, it could be fair if we practiced natural selection based on intelligence vs. good looks.

Wow does this ring true to me. I'm working at wal-mart for gas money while going to college. I had a customer call and complain and I had to go talk to management. Such a scary ordeal since I need this job. I have nothing to fall back o

While I agree with your overall idea of removing extra classes from high school, you do realize that most graduates need at least 2 more semesters of English? Plus the failure rate of College Algebra is pretty staggering.

Sad to see this in relation to TED talks. The TED site has a great deal of integrity so seeing someone hack a person's twitter account is disheartening. No matter the cause, taking someone's account just to prove a silly point is wrong.

I would think that it should not be too long before Khan like education is available for every topic sometime in the next 100 years. Once these topics are available, I see distributing these videos to every child in replacement of national

The effort given to discredit Rand is surprising. What about her makes people behave so?

I think I have roughly 10 sites that I visit on a regular basis. The other sites that I hit are links from the top 10. I only go there long enough to read whatever article there is and close the page. I rarely use page 2 of google search

I would think that it has to do with finding the corollaries between words from each language. It would simply be the way a person has, by a side effect of learning two language, trained themselves to think differently than most people. Th

So does giving the homeless small amounts of money perpetuate the problem since they don't save it? Would larger amounts be able to help them achieve some sort of first step? Like enough money to rent a apartment for 3 months which gives
