Such as this paper which found that music had no change on productivity. I know that personally listening to music helps me drown out office noise and I much prefer it when I am "in the zone" doing some programming or whatever.
Your boss makes decisions based on his assumptions rather than based on facts. i'm guessing he's religious as well.
The way to do anonymous browsing online is simple. Just do automated queries for random lists of keywords all the time. That way, even if they do have your data it won't be useful.
I have a hard time believing that they were days away from launch, and there is not a stockpile of units somewhere with the "crunchpad" branding written all over them. I could see the deal falling through days before manufacturing begins, but once you actually make the devices it's kinda the point of no return.
Unless they're just going to hit a bargain bin in some third world country. But it sounds like Arrington is already too heavily invested if it was indeed days away from launch.
I'm not skeptical of the story, but I am skeptical that PETA won't have something to say about it if and when this hits production. This has the possibility of being revolutionary to the way we eat. If we don't have to wait for actual animals to grow, and can grow only the good parts without wasting money on all the unnecessary parts, we can grow meat faster and cheaper that would also be better (just clone the best animal to begin with!)
I might also add that I was able to regularly see speeds in access of the advertised 50Mbps I was paying for (which was $50/mo by the way. In Orem UT. Go figure). The router was able to handle it without breaking a sweat.
I have a 50Mbit up/down connection to my home and found my old go-to, the wrt54g/gl/gs to be lacking. I have a pile of those routers and they just couldn't perform - I decided I would need some headroom. I went out and got a wrt300n (the one with the awesome satellite dish sticking out of the top) and it has performed admirably with the help of dd-wrt.
A 50Mbps connection is the greatest thing ever bestowed upon man. May we all have them soon.
So how do you explain the 200% improvement in download speeds on all the sites they tested? I agree that there are lots of different bottlenecks you can focus on, but you can't argue with results.
So by your argument, if I can find one person who had an issue creating an HTML/PHP/CSS CMS from scratch then it must be a really crappy way of doing things right?
Not everyone can or wants to build everything from scratch.
1password is by far the best solution available for this. I've seen some other people say it, but i wanted to echo how great it is. On the security side, it uses 128 bit AES encryption. You can find more information on their security here: http://help.agile.ws/1Password3/agile_keychain_design.html - basically it would take eleventy billion years to crack into your password database.
1Password also offers direct browser integration with all major browsers. It's so good that I'll only use a browser if 1password supports it. It also comes with tools like a password generator and a place to store secured notes (which is where I keep all my software registration keys, etc.). Bottom line is I couldn't live without 1password.
All that said, I still commit my bank password to memory and do not store it in 1password or anywhere else.
The people trying to push anti-net-neutrality agendas will use whatever scare tactic is currently in the media. In 2001 it would have been "we need to prioritize traffic to aid rescue workers," during Katrina it would have been "We don't have bandwidth to reliably allow everyone free access while still being able to coordinate aid in Lousiana," now it's this, and tomorrow it will be "we can't reliably fight aliens/robot armies unless people are taxed for visiting sites that we don't approve of."
TFA says "Xbox 360 will be the only game console to offer this movie-watching experience..."
Seems to me that they are defining the time period as any point in the future and making that statement that Xbox will continue to be the only game console to offer netflix. Key words "will be the only."
How did this get voted up? Google is in no way comparable to archive.org. The speed of their indexing and the amount of requests they are processing should answer your question.
A vaccine does absolutely nothing to protect you from becoming infected by a virus. It just minimized the effects that that virus will have when and if you do get it. Your probability of getting the virus does not change at all.
Actually, it might go up slightly since you are in public and perhaps at a doctor's office to get the vaccine. Lots of chances to get the flu there.
There was a segment on the daily show recently where Stewart showed how CNN would allow people to make spurious claims and then say "ok, we're out of time!" without making them back up their claims. That's a little how I feel here. How is the Pre disappointing? My impression is that most people who own one really love it and are very cognizant of the advantages over the iPhone (multitasking, open development environment, using the data connection for things that are actually useful).
So I'm wondering if this "disappointment" is just the disappointment of barrence, and really has no baring on the general view of the public. Any way, we're out of space on the synopsis, so I guess we'll never know.
I've been on unemployment. You supposed to report the amount that you earn from any other work during the time you are being paid. Basically the state says "okay we figure you need X to survive per month" and then gives you X and subtracts any other money you've made during that time.
It's really not that difficult. The key is to fill out the paperwork and follow the instructions. If you get actual people involved in that process you're bound to screw it up.
If you really want to, pay your hosting bill with the money you made from adsense, and then you have no income to report.;)
Don't confuse laughingly weak certificate security with altruistic motives. Microsoft wanted everyone to get their apps signed, they're just not very good at what they do.
So essentially the government is paying auto manufacturers to send lobbyists back to washington to lobby on behalf of the auto manufacturers which Washington actually owns?

I'm not sure which is worse:
1. Video taping a movie in a theater
2. Singing happy birthday in the middle of a movie theater in the middle of a movie
3. Seeing New Moon

I will be the first in line to eat cloned meat.

Well now they could transfer gzipped pages over SPDY.

Yes, because you lack the ability to understand something, it must suck. I bet basic arithmetic, shiny objects, and women suck too, right?
I would just like to point out that developing a spaceship (The title) is a lot different than designing a spaceship (TFA).
Call me when the headline is true.

All we know after this point is that we were the ones who scorched the sky....

Star Trek might not contain real science, but it gets people excited about real science. I'd say that is pretty important.

So you're proposing we downgrade wave to be more linear? I propose that we'll evolve into it.

The abstract misses the fact that the Galileoscope is a reproduction similar in image quality to the one Galileo himself used.
