Well even though I don't think "mot-dièse" is a very good choice, I have to admit that "hashtag" in french sounds horrible. French do not pronounce the H and the "a" sound is long and loud and it make the word sound harsh and weird. Keep in mind that even though foreign words are being used in french, they are…

I love trailers and watch a lot on my TV, but often I choose not to watch the trailer of a movie I'm sure I will watch in a theatre. Some movie are tougher to sell than others trailer-wise. It only take 1 CGI scene and a couple of nice slow-mo shots to make a descent trailer from a shitty movie. Most movies get tagged…

"Pores do not have muscles surrounding them. Pores do not open and close". The last part maybe right, but the absence of muscle doesn't mean absence of movement. Cells move without muscle, plant do move (slowly) and have openings in their leaves (stoma) that open and close.

Hmm....unless it improves your grip on a mate (as in reproduction mate) I don't see how this trait could have been selected during evolution.

You would need a tool to measure precisely a volume of water so I don't think a typical measuring cylinder is gonna help. It's (practically) easier to weigh water to get a large volume such as on liter, than to measure a volume to get a mass (cylinder vs electronic scale). Also, water density varies a lot depending on…

They should have called those ships, free health care, free dental, food for everyone and cheaper education, because that's what they cost the country (at least partially).

You're right. Same with deciliter that was used a lot for drinking volumes a while ago. Now people tend to use milliliter, and there's no big deal, you just need to multiply by 10 dl to get ml. The argument of creating human scale units is irrelevant when you know about prefixes you can add to metric units. The range…

This product makes no sense to me..... how do I connect THAT to my iphone?

You're mixing numbers: Wikipedia says: "..there are at least ten times as many bacteria as human cells in the body (approximately 10^14 versus 10^13)".

I agree. I think the real photo is the one in the box, he added the textured background after. Much easier ;-)

You also can see most of Canadian big cities (on the east side the Quebec-Windsor corridor where 19 million live) and part of Northern Mexico.

I agree. Sounds to me like an automated message, or some sort of spam advertisement. Just to mention the brand from Finland.

Most memorable BSG moment ever!!!

Don't ask why, but Thanksgiving is on the 2nd Monday of October in Canada.....

It looks like made-for-tv films that shoot during day then add filters to make us believe it's at night.

This is impressive (and always a little freaky) to see how "human" this robot's movements look. The way it pushes its body up to gain momentum (kinetic energy?) and pass obstacles seems incredibly close to what a living thing would do. It' too bad that Boston Dynamics is no longer part of MIT, but now is mostly…

Why did you update to a towel? I like the good'ol fur wrapping we've been using for decades. And it doesn't fit my charging dock. whyyyyyy!!!!

How many legs to people have:

The 32Go new ipod touch is listed at 319 euro at apple.de (vs. $299 in the US) - Prices on the german apple website include sales taxes (19%)

I don't have the 3D maps on my 3GS (!) but it works fine on my ipad2, and I really like the map app, sorry. Considering how insanely complex it is to render 3d buildings in complete cities, I think they did a pretty good job. I'm not spending my time zooming in and out the brooklyn bridge saying "omg, whatta…
