The first time I saw their scans I thought they were “too good” to be done on the fly. I do a lot of 3D light reconstruction of carbonates, and conditions have to be pretty controlled to get a decent scan... Granted, tech is changing all the time...

Some intern animator really checked out on the blood spatter...

Bummer that the new VW bus looks just like a minivan and is... a minivan.

But how will we squabble for priority boarding? This sounds like paid convenience redistribution.

The shoe is simple, comfortable, durable and affordable. Obviously for minimal, mid/forefoot-running. Great on the trail or on the road.

If it is a glider it would require very little power (to move anyway).

There are thousands of gliders collecting information in the ocean... and although I’m sure some of them are “spying”, the incredible majority are collected physical and biological data.

I may be getting old, but... these were just so bad.

Sans gonads and unable to spell...

This is an amazing price on an amazing e-reader. I love the backlight - don't knock it til you've tried it. I also appreciate that Amazon is aware that the cash is in the media they sell, not necessarily in the accessory. I've spent far more than $79 on e-books (which are basically free to produce).

He ended up at Harvard and Harvard Law, so don't weep for him too much.

They almost relegated my father to special ed in the 1950s because he colored his tree trunks green. Yep, colorblind.

The cat saw the opportunity to eat tuna sandwiches for a week, and took it.

Yea - peer review tends to mitigate major issues. "Bad press release"?

... That being said, if you did not test for causation, you better not imply that it's there. Else, bad science.

I'm going to reiterate this here: I think you're mistaking Kathleen Vohs's scientific statement for one that was meant to make you (or anyone) feel good. While I agree there are many ways in which sexually explicit advertising - or advertising in general - objectifies women, the researcher was discussing a female…

Not exactly. The insectivorous birds were preying on the spiders. The spiders have not assumed the birds' niche. What isn't referenced is what the effect has been on other insects, such as mosquitoes, which is what I think you are referencing. Depends on how much the birds fed on insects that the spiders also feed on.

I agree that the troll was out of hand, but I disagree that HDR is 'unnecessary'. HDR imaging is not a concept that was developed with digital photography. Traditional photographers were always looking for ways to improve dynamic range, including bracketing techniques like the ones used in digital HDR. What you are…

35-40 pushups a day is great exercise, but it is not a workout. Depending on your current health (check with your doctor), you should be looking to improve cardio-vascular health with extended periods of exercise that include elevating your heart rate. The reason some days you can do 30, and other days 40 pushups may…
