> @K9TrainerTina: they were, actually. however, the 5 month old wolf pups mostly just went to sleep after initially failing to get the food, so they were excluded from the analysis.

As described in the article, we both have telomeres, but as far as I know the comparison ends there.

Plan #1: $30 for 100 minutes, with $0.10 a minute afterwards.

Plan #2: $40 for unlimited minutes with MetroPCS.

So, if I manage to talk less than 100min + ($50 - $40)/$0.10 = 200 minutes per month, then I end up spending less than I would on the MetroPCS plan.

A more complete explanation of the glitch occurs earlier in the video, but he explains the basics of it after he performs the glitch (unfortunately dying in the process). Apparently three different exploiters found three exploits that, when combined, enabled this glitch. Quite fascinating.

"Each of the discovered vulnerabilities allowed any @yahoo.com email account to be compromised simply by sending a specially crafted link to a logged-in Yahoo user and making him/her clicking on it."[1]

Has yet to be fixed.

The question, now, is whether to posthumously pardon the others.

Update: Found an article. Turns out they haven't been pardoned, but their convictions are now "disregarded" and no longer appear on their criminal record[1].

Plus, if you're not near any objects that can block the sun (i.e. Earth/Moon), you get full, intense sunlight 24-hours a day.

And you can use some of that sunlight to just directly heat the water, which makes it easier to split.

Given all that, I'd say that it's very likely you could get enough energy to split water in space.

A stationary, secondary observer (like a Kinect) would be several orders of magnitude more reliable. All that's left is for someone to make a game that actually utilizes that idea.

The idea of a camera to let you see the actual world is pretty nifty. It even comes pre-built with philosophical questions (which is the actual world?).

On the other hand, I can't help but think that the camera could also be used to prevent people from smacking their head into real, physical objects.

Stick a few distance sensors and overlay portions of the camera when an object is too close? It would interrupt the game, sure, but less so than you headbutting your monitor or a wall. Just a thought.

> Disputes arising between the Contract Parties shall be heard and judged by an arbitrator of the Company’s choosing

By that clause, the company should be able to choose Thorin as the arbitrator regardless of the fact that he's the King Under the Mountain. That fact alone would put Bilbo in dire straights if, like you said, he ever crossed Thorin.

"Forbes: Hipset Is Next Generation Music Site >>"

...which seems like it would be a link to the article. But I can't seem to click it. In fact, I can't even find that text in the DOM, which is confusing me something fierce.

Some minor feedback: on the scrolling album background, one of the squares looks like the icon for Pandora, the music streaming service. Was that intentional? Bit of an odd choice in my opinion, since it's not really an artist.

I expect that the reaction of the Manufacturing industry's reaction to small-scale Makers will parallel the Recording/Movie industry to file-sharing, as the situations are similar in many regards.

It's very likely to happen, and it'll suck, but like you said, hopefully we get legislation through in time to protect some of the small Makers so they don't get sued into oblivion by the future-RIAA.

And Tex-Mex! I don't see how people in other parts of the country could live without Tex-Mex food.

It also points out that speaking the phrase "filled with" spits out the rest of the text [3].

The machine converts gravitational potential energy to electromagnetic radiation. People generate the gravitational potential energy by lifting the weight using kinetic energy, which was likewise created by converting chemical energy.

It's easier just to say "Gravity" because, without gravity, it wouldn't work with its inanimate weight.

I believe the theory is the reverse - by killing off the bacteria, the person becomes less obese.

Anti-biotics probably won't work as well as you hope because they kill all the bacteria in the gut - good and bad - which will just create more digestive problems.

This trend correlates well with the above idea, since smaller meals means that the sugars should be absorbed before the large intestine, thereby further robbing the bacteria of their food.

It would also explain the opposite effect - that eating larger meals makes losing weight harder, since the larger quantity of food has a better chance to get to your large intestine.

I tried making the box be a different color when the mouse was moving (multiply the boolean by the color?) but couldn't figure out how.

A business can't spend all day meta-managing their equity, after all.
