Heinlein in the 60's suggested rooms that would have a daily "wind" cycle to blow off any accumulated dust and anything loose would be forced to one area where it could be picked up to …

Did anyone from IBM actually WATCH SAO? I mean, it ended so well the last time...

So pulled this up from my Chromebook - rather interesting to have Chrome running Windows rather than the other way around. Of course the big leap will come when it gets Win XP up and running and then …

My problem with it (and many of the other alternatives) is not having an associated Asset Store. Not that I have an overarching need to buy stuff, but because there is a curated place where I can find…

According to the article, Pharmacy Benefit Managers are as much to blame for the increasing costs of drugs as the manufacturers. I suspect that's partly true, but I also suspect the "percent…

TL;DR - Use Tor Hidden Services and then let Tor effectively handle the dynamic DNS for you.

Given the tendency for large enterprises to not upgrade unless there is time to do a full regression test, and then to prioritize creating new features over system maintenance, I wouldn't assume …

Key quote from the article: "By mathematically analyzing scans of the auditory cortex and grouping clusters of brain cells with similar activation patterns, the scientists have identified neural …

OK, reading through all this, I'm wondering if there isn't a compromise approach needed. For myself, I go in each morning for a couple hours. If there are no meetings that require my physica…

Long story short, Climate Change exposes some sites only to turn around and wash them away later. And many coastal sites that were known are now threatened as well.

For those who are wondering before reading - article looks at the issue of what is considered a "highly likely" indication in an alien planet's atmosphere that would indicate life. Oxyg…

Even the manufacturers get this, which is where GM's Maven service is pointing to where the "casual" driver will probably end up. Assuming when they roll to SA they put pick up/dro…

Article about Microsoft's Xiaoice - But apparently still no English Language interface... :-(

I think the series "No Game No Life" covered this best - "There’s no way to know the rules or the goal, yet there are 7 billion people making whatever moves they want. If you lose too m…

Funny thing about that - I suspect doing either of those would be 10x harder than terraforming Mars. Why? Because there are no Martians to complain about the ecological havoc your changes are making, …

My solution to this problem (and yes I've noticed the same) is to generally pay the price to change to one-day shipping which never (so far at least) goes USPS. Of course we are in one of the are…

Like the ability to boot from a USB stick. Wonder if it can be put in a VM?

But requires that you have Windows Pro as MS has "helpfully" set Windows Home and Windows basic to not allow Hyper-V to run on a core i7 unless you have the Pro version. Which I sadly discov…

OK, but who was the legal eagle or director who gave him the wrong form? I would expect that somebody besides Zuckerberg had a job to get it right, and probably should be on the hook for screwing up o…

Publish date May 2014 - still, glad to see it solves most (but not all) the issues with the known differences between the near and far sides. Another argument for a lunar base so we can safely get som…

Well, I know that I ran into a situation (and may once have posted about it) in a C program where I was doing printf to debug a program, and it ran fine. Whenever I removed them, the program would cra…
