I can't find the article anywhere, but there was a similar idea done a while back where you would wear a 'dome' that was air-conditioned, keeping your head and shoulders cool. It worked wonderfully for keeping you feeling coo

They are almost definitely going to use some sort of streaming similar to OnLive. If OnLive can beam playable game streams across the internet and all its attendant issues, then they definitely can manage to stream it across your in-home wi

I feel like this article is close but slightly off the mark. Just noticing from casual observation, it seems like the point can be summed up even more succinctly: Great software engineers are (something else).

When you elect anarchists, it's hardly surprising that the government stops functioning.

I'm far from being a professional programmer, and until the last year of my life I'd never written anything work-quality. However, you've pretty much nailed it on the tools needed for a beginning programmer: They'll lear

The article does also point out that 'specific' games aren't apt to increase your brain function, which I took to imply that the idea that any one type of game is not the key. In that regard, it would also be similar to the e

I included the bit about the keys/ignition not because it's in an odd place, but because it's a mistake I make fairly often due to carelessness. Most people blindly reach for the ignition and that's fine; most people als

The car analogy falls apart though, when you consider the complexity of the tasks that he's complaining about. We would rightly laugh at anyone who complained that their car wouldn't 'turn on' when they jammed their key

They've done it in the past, to the auditing firm involved in the Enron scandal. They actually indicted and convicted them of destroying audit records according to their standard procedures prior to them being investigated by the SEC.

Yeah, I'm not making that argument at all. It's only a problem with antifreeze because it's something very harmful to consume, yet it has a somewhat attractive, food-like odor and taste. Dangerous things to eat should taste b

Propylene glycol is indeed a major component of antifreeze, such as what is used to de-ice airplanes. It's also a major component of automobile antifreeze. It's also true that automotive antifreeze is generally toxic to humans and

You can, but you can also make the value calculations in your head and decide that instead of learning how to properly cultivate it, keeping bad plants out, and the time/money consumed in a quality growing op, you'd rather just th

Calling Bitcoin a currency, and therefore allowing that it can be regulated, is an important factor in whether the government can care about it at all. If they decided that it wasn't a currency and had no value, the case against the Bi

Augmented Reality. For a good example of current projects representing each field: Virtual Reality - Oculus Rift Augmented Reality - Google Glass AR sits on top of/alongside the real world, where VR tries to replace it.

It's not just a weaker dollar causing manufacturing to return to the US, though (especially relative to China) that is definitely part of the cause. Rising fuel costs threaten global supply chains. Especially in areas that have a less-

This is a powerful point to ignore. The Great Recession has shown this trend might be establishing itself already; the percentage of people not participating in the workforce in any fashion spiked, hasn't recovered, and isn't show

It also appears that a large part of their ruling bases on the argument that DOMA is unconstitutional, because some states have gone to the effort of providing legal protections. In other words, DOMA was quite possibly constitutional right

I interpreted his rage as being directed toward the "without any guarantee they can stay?" part of the statement. It IS quite wasteful that he was given this opportunity, and then thrown out before he even had the chance to comple
