It would be a lot easier to list the Facebook things you should click on.

Interesting video, but I feel there is more to it than just changing the effective length at the bottom of the arc. Otherwise, how could I start to swing from a dead stop, which I can do. Also, it shouldn't matter if you lean back or forward as both decrease the effective length, but if you try to lean back while…

And so, this begs the question: How did Snowden's leak affect the United States?

Then do it!

What I don't understand is how _antro_pologists have such a simplistic concept of humans. People move; people move constantly, and have for all of human history. The question they are asking, "What is your geographic origin?" makes no sense, let alone their answers to that question. I have 2 parents, 4 grandparents, 8…

97% accurate isn't even within 3 orders of magnitude of accurate enough. Can you imagine if 3 of every 100 people get locked out of their phone. It needs to be on the order of 1 in few billion.

Yeah, Dropbox is 40 times more expensive at $10/month for a puny 100GB.

Wait a minute. I thought a neutrino was its own antiparticle?

The drone part is irrelevant and misleading. If these spoofed hotspots can really steal all of that information, there are cheaper and more reliable ways to deliver them to their "targets". Just walk around with on in a backpack would be way easier.

Simple solution, just ban high-frequency trading. Deliberately introduce a random delay of a few seconds (maybe minutes?) or so into every trade request. That will kill this kind of craziness and not interfere at all with the world of real finance.

Seriously, 11 birds? Call me when you get to 11,000 birds.

All of the analogies of crowded rooms are garbage. I think physicists have given up really trying to explain this stuff to non-physicists. Where are the Feynmans and Sagans of the 21st century?

Holy cow! Is it impossible to fix the headline. I know it is pedantic, but it's driving me nuts.

"only costs $80."

Their "centers don't stay put", their width stays constant. If you put a board on top, it will roll smoothly. But if you attach an axle to the center of one of these things it will go bumpity bump. They don't work as wheels.

I would do almost anything to get to go into space, including the most demeaning thing imaginable, being on reality TV.

Wait a minute. Does he mean he had to decide between shutting the whole service down or give up Snowden's private emails? And he decided to shut it down. Wow, that is major. I still don't see how shutting down would protect him from legal action.

Ah, don't confuse a gravity wave with a gravitational wave. The gravity wave is just a wave through matter where gravity is restorative force. In this case it is the changing density and buoyancy of the clouds which is causing the wave motion.

Doesn't it come back and try to save the whales, or something like that. The plots of all those dumb movies are starting to run together.

Hear hear! I replace mine about every 6 months, or as they get destroyed. Anything of $9.99 is too much.
