I have a really thick beard growth and none of the multiple blade razors were doing it for me. I was having problems because the razors would blunt in the middle of shaving so I would have to use more than one and the results were bad. My flatmate told me what her dad used to use, a double edged safety razor. We picked up one from Boots and got some razors for it. I have never looked back since. Why have five, seven, twenty blades when they all suck and I can get a saftey razor for £5 and twenty blades for it for the same price? My shave is as good as you can get from a barber. There is the problem of storage if you have children but, otherwise, I do not look back.
This is a bad idea. Why? Because people will throw the demographic balance of the species off in their area either because of cultural reasons or just out of plain ignorance. Think the dating scene is bad now. Think about how it would be if there were one girl to every three guys or vice versa.
The link in the article is to the original French in Le Monde. Do I speak/read French? Yes. Do I want to read some French guy whine about French becoming a minority language on the Web (like it isn't in real life)? No, not really
The guy in TFA talks about P2P being another type of grid and that a family could create a distibuted environment for shared data. He also talked about trust.
My idea is that with adding strong encryption you get basically small priate network that is almost impossible to crack. DVDs + CDs + Encrypted P2P among a small group of people == Old Skool Sneakernet (aka borrowing your friend's stuff). You and your friends can share all the entertainment among yourselves as you like. All you need is a P2P-type client and share your keys with your friends physically (as in 3 1/2 floppy exchanges).
You want to borrow that new Spider-man 2 DVD but are too lazy to get go over to your friend's place to get it? Send him an email and ask him to rip it to Divx and throw it up on your private encrypted P2P network.
Wow. Another Non-Patent from the patent office. When are tech companies going to realize that they must compete in the market place of ideas rather than in the non-market place of patents?
I think you miss the irony of the column. The last paragraph says it all:
Surely it would not be difficult to shift this gene here and that gene there and come up with permanently blooming azaleas, rhodies, and camellias. Then, the only difference between winter and spring would be the temperature. But not to worry. Global warming will take care of that, too
This was a subtle satire of the suburbinite mentality about technology. It was not ment as a serious set of ideas.
I do not want to sound like a "me too!" post but I wanted to add something to the debate. the GPL is great for stand-alone applications like web servers and databases. It does not work well or as well for libraries like glibc unless the entire program that links to it is also GPL. This is where the LGPL shines.
I was reading this with the thought, "After the last two movies flopped or were generally panned, why are they doing this?" The other thought that I had was, "isn't the MMORPG market over-saturated as it is?"
It seems that this is going to be a huge flop because of these two facts. Are we entering the age of horrible movie tie-in MMORPGs? Remember the last Matrix related game? It was pretty much running through hallways with 200+ pages of dialog.
When I visited it, Wikipedia read "Sollog eats his nuts." I would assume that Sollog eats nuts since eating nuts is part of a balanced healthy diet. Whether they are his or not is a matter of speculation unless you are Sollog (prognostication may or may not be included).
I know I am probably going to get blasted for this comment but what happens when all you use is statistical methods? Does everything look like a number?
In this case, the implied idea behind the article is that the human brain is just a large number cruncher. Is this honestly the case? I think the jury is still out and I wonder if having access to the raw data, I could come up with a different answer than the researchers.
Anyway, that is my two cents. I could be horribly mistaken.
"A third of them, dating from the Cold War, have already leaked 4 million liters in the environment, contaminating the groundwater and a river."
I do not usually comment but I would like to remind everyone that the river mentioned would be the Columbia River since Hanford is within sight of the river and a large number of fish spawn there every year.

Think about your comment after you have seen this [penny-arcade].
