No, you must be joking. The burden of proof in an argument has to be borne by the one making the claim. If you claim you saw a UFO, the burden of proof is on you. The burden of proof does not fall on everyone else to prove that what yo

To my untrained ear, this sounds like an argument over optimal versus satisficing ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Satisficing ). (I'm just tossing that out there: if this is something you already know about, just ig

Absolutely, and given that Gell-Mann was corresponding in 1978 with editors at the OED, it's likely that said English teacher (if she had an ounce of self-respect (I speak as a teacher myself)) would have had at least a relatively rece

Same here, but in our apartment across the river in Cambridge. Magazine, movie, and Ben&Jerry's. And it was freakin' cold out, close to zero!

MIT graduate I met 30 years ago told me he had a professor tell him that there are 3 things in life: 1. things divisible by 3 2. things not divisible by 3 3. other things

Yeah, seriously. Also, from the Google web site: "Searching without typing Use it in the kitchen, in the garage or anytime your hands might be full." Oh, really? I want to see you move your mouse pointer into position and click the microp

Damn them - damn them to hell. The thing that Firefox 3 did in Winidows (XP anyway) that was so useful was that when you deleted trash or spam, it automatically put the pointer on the OK button. Not the OS preference, but a Firefox featur

If You Want To Write is way underrated, I agree. If you're a fiction writer, you do NOT want to miss The Art of Fiction, by John Gardner. The last chapter, Exercises, is a seminar all by itself on what to practice writing, and why. Here

I've been using SoftMaker Office 2008 for the past 2 months and can't believe how much faster it is than OpenOffice, which is a shame, because I've been using OO for years.

Here's a simpler version. It has only 8 pages, but the pages are somewhat larger and the whole booklet sits flatter in a pocket. Here goes: 1) Fold (8.5x11) sheet of paper in half (like a hamburger, not a hot dog - in other words, don't

OK, I really need a reality check here. First, let me make it clear - on every reddit discussion about math and about Khan Academy that's I've been involved in, I heartily recommend it. I think what he's doing makes him one of the educati

Totally anecdotal, but I thought I'd pass this on. Whenever I use Goog 411 or Dragon, my results improve if I speak like a standard radio announcer. You know, that kind of jokey, fake lilting voice that they use on car commercials? I hate

Speaking of typing, has anyone here tried out the new Dragon Dictation app? Sounds like a natural for the iPad (I'm waiting for mine - got a preorder of the 3G).

I really wish someone in the know would reply to your post because I think you have the most salient point. In fact, do the same open source advocates decry the Playstation and Nintendo platforms?
