There is a difference between the diligence, knowledge, and skill necessary to create something, and the creativity necessary to create something new and unique. They are all important - but separate - elements.

Creativity - by definition - is not cautious. It is making something new, doing something differently than the way everybody else does it, thinking differently than what has come before. There is a chance of failure, and if that chance weren't there, then what would be the point?

It doesn't seem to be on anyone's radar right now, but this is likely to be one of the first applications of Google's robotic car technology. They may be short-handed now, but inside of a decade it may be impossible for a trucker to find a job. Cabbies aren't far behind either...

Very clever putting a brain game in the link for the brain game study... or maybe it's just a legitimate typo...

@Americanitis: Watch out for the Mackinaw Trout!

Space Taxi... rocked. Elite... rocked. Sooo many hours wasted...

Does anyone remember GEOS (Graphic Environment Operating System)? It was basically Windows 3.1 that ran on a C=64, with a full-blown Office-esque suite... all in under 64k of RAM! Modern software is soooo bloated!

@fritzk3: Defender of the Crown rocked! Remember flinging diseased corpses over the castle walls?

This kinda blew my mind, so I had to investigate a little more. It seems that the key thing to note about this is that it is not pertaining to random numbers (as is stated in the article), but rather real-life measurements. This would then make sense, because most thing in real-life we measure by counting up, and…

Vote: SoundPaper for iPad. Takes notes synched with recorded audio.

The "When in doubt, throw it out" philosophy, while easy on the brain, discourages real recycling and fosters a false sense of "hey, I'm trying to help", when all that's really being done is sending the questionable item to the landfill anyway. Finding out the details of how your recycling is handled is definitely the…

The iPhone is the ONLY reason I stick with AT&T, and now that mine is going crazy and dying, I'm soooo done! Motorola Droid, here I come! #cellphones

This is certainly not the formula used on the bridge of the Enterprise.

@Arkay71: I'm debating this subject with my girlfriend right now. She's on the anti-microwave side and I'm on the pro-microwave side. Admittedly, so far, our compiled evidence is about 20 minutes of reading the top few Google hits, but most of the anti-microwave info seems to be pseudo-science (i.e. starting of…

@Alexander: I've had the same problem for years. All of the categories seem like they could apply to me...do I take them? I also have been nailed to the wall come tax time for years as a result. It seems the safest bet is to just make the number on the W4 as low as possible, taking only the exemptions that are…

@tok3ninja: Not that they aren't there, but I've never seen a duplicate. Most people seem to contribute to one exclusively...at least that's the impression I get.

[www.morguefile.com] and [www.sxc.hu] are two of my standard go-tos.

Hands down...the fact that Windows always tries to auto-select words and sentences in text that I am selecting, including or excluding commas, dashes, at signs, etc. at what is apparently the exact manner designed to inconvenience me the most! Just let me decide what I do and don't want to select! I know this can be…
