Excellent platform for fractal research. And trust me not all of those who search are academics :)

One of my favorite differences between my painting and my programming is that it is much easier to clean up my work space after programming---no brushes to clean :)

As a long time low level bit twiddler, I would have killed for this in the '70s, '80s, and '90s. It would have been my killer app :)

Anybody know if the sports writer is a rated chess player? While I don't particularly agree with the article it is at least interesting. From my perspective, the world championship is somewhat like the superbowl---if I like the opponen

Why is that when the government says "But, but computer!" judges abandon common sense and case law. Even when the tables are turned there is still an amazing amount of techno-ignorance in the process. Consider the long ago (tech t

Is there an award for oddest bedfellows? 'Cause this has got to be a real contender. I particularly like Hatch's bond mechanism as this will force the revelation of the money trail. And as every CSI show will tell you 'follow

As a painter I've been fanatically attached to the use of black probably longer than the article user has been alive. That said I say in his defense that there isn't a pure black available no matter what you do. Secondly a little

Been an editor for quite a while---mostly to correct things. Could be typos, factual errors, errors of omission, normal editor kind of stuff for those categories I know well enough to do the job. I've rarely been involved in a disagree

As an ex-bikie (I earned my disabled vet status and at 63 I'm reaping the 'benefits') this story resonates with me quite loudly. The idea of anonymous competition is one I've always craved in that I find actual competiti

I don't know if our aiming capability is accurate but it might be fun to send an un-armed(empty)ICBM to a farm field outside of Beijing...OTOH it would be very bad joss to off a farmer---decisions, decisions.

Long ago, there was music, call it pop. Much time passes and the same music is still played, but it has been renamed folk. Edison, got involved and the guy on the Martin discovered Fender so now they call it folk rock. Just to be clear, fol

I don't see this as an 'anti' C or C++ article. I see it as an effort to explain (initially to himself) why the phenomena exists. Not sure I agree with all of it but being a C/C++ programmer on micro-computers from the v

One thing I've always wanted is to be able set a browser switch to delete any returns from EE. There probably is a way that I've been too distracted to find. BTW, my only reason for such dislike is the 'Ooh ooh---we've g
