I can relate to the friends "who feel sorry" bit. They don't seem to understand that different people value stuff in different ways. If you want inspiration to make the best of limited spaces, google images for Japanese appartments. Lots of

I agree. But this case does raise an issue for NaCl (which I hope will become reality one day) where you have the granularity to mess with cache hits.

No. When you apply pressure on ice it becomes liquid. In other words: water doesn't lift things by freezing if that requires an amount of energy larger than what is needed to change state.

Part of me wishes this is reverse psychology. The rest of me hopes nobody will fall for it.

Fast-forward to the point of actual space colonization. Should mental stability be a factor in survival in space I can imagine that it'll introduce a rather strong darwinistic filter. It's difficult to fathom but realistic that folks with

The Mitsubishi check? http://www.gizmodo.com.au/2011/06/12-money-shots/ Since this kind of money can disturb a bank (a bank lends a multiple of what it has floating) wouldn't it be "cleaner" if the government just opened an account at the

In December 2000, Hawking bet Gordon Kane $100 that the Higgs Boson will be discovered at the Fermilab Tevatron . Since the funding dried up for the Tevatron and the first hints for the discovery of the Higgs boson come from LHC we can con

I guess the FB cookies in your browser is a simplified version of the token. It's used to identify you not only on FB but also on other sites that load their javascript for comments & likes. There was some anger a while back about how f

yes, I don't know about code but it's available in the form of an article that is detailed enough to implement it in any system.

This is a very good explanation. But it also points out that the permission system is not really helping when you want background info on what's going on - you and I know this info from a background in development. Take a look at the permis

Esoteric keywords in google work brilliant for my sites. Then came social and I added the +1 button because of the nature of circles in g+. Birds of a feather flock together, so +1 would bump results for my sites for people in someone's cir

The structure to link relevant content is already there. Same with the site's search engine. I work with namespaces, titles and content and local search does the job. The issue at hand (and to answer your question) is that this mouseover me

when users hover over a +1 button, they will see recommendations for other great content on your site. Which was not why I became an early adopter of the +1 button and put it on sites I own. I included it because I wanted to optimize my

With audio fingerprinting the content provider must provide a way to fingerprint its own audio and have access to fingerprints of the internet's audio/video. This means a partnership between e.g. youtube and a studio. I'm fairly sure this i

Pretty much all DRM content has unique patterns. Want to prohibit videos of the Starcraft game? Simple search for a few sentences like "more vespene gas" and "require more minerals". Want to find online copies of "Aliens"? Just enter a few

No, you want to be as close to bare metal as you can - and as soon as possible. Dedicated hardware is even better but you need to gain access to it as the first one.
