This sets a new bar for incompetence. Its almost comical that they are admitting that someone didn't divide by 10 to get an average, but instead *added* the numbers together. This smells like its too dumb to be true, and they are hiding something.

I don't see how this breaks any new ground. Ferran Adria has had all his work documented in his El Bulli volumes since the 80's and he is widely recognized as being the most influencial chef of the last decade, if not of all time. Even Heston Blumenthal is a prior advocate of using science in cooking, with his "Kitchen Kemistry" TV series. I'm sorry but Nathan Myhrvold is a barbecue champion, and is a nobody in the gastronomic world. This project smells of something an American would do -- that is, "bigger". I don't see how anyone can just make a recipe book without having the recipes stand the test of a public trial (that is, served in a real restaurant at the mercy of real critics).

a funny Mastercard commercial in this somewhere....

The "memory places" technique is exactly what Derren Brown uses in one of his shows (I think it was Trick of the Mind): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L1mweFSqACU In this sequence, Derren plays blackjack and explains exactly how he is able to memorize the decks of cards in real time.

to just black out the word instead.

Really? When was the last time anyone deleted emails anyway?

This is the exact sort of thing that makes me love your wonderful country!
Keep up the great work America. Its keeping my "pro" US FB page filled with great content.
Pukka.

That's not a valid question in this case. You need to compare the costs of running the different versions of the same model, ie - gasoline/hybrid or gasoline/diesel.

The problem with a trackpad is that you cannot rest your hands anywhere on it, which is not a good thing. Has anyone had any bad experiences with trackpads with respect to repetitive strain ailments? I have been using the Kensington Expert Mouse for the past 15 years and as "heavy" mouse user, I have never had a problem with my wrists or elbows (ie - carpal tunnel syndrome). I cannot imagine ever switching.

VOLTAGE is like that ugly kid who finally made out with a hot chick. Now he thinks he's all hot shit and is prancing around the school yard with a hard on, talking like he's a somebody. Well, VOLTAGE, you still have a small dick.
Enjoy the 15 minutes of recess. The jocks are gonna beat you to a pulp after school.

Why don't the producers say this to the 5,000: "OK, give us our fucking $24.99 or we will sue your fucking little asses off one by one". Full stop. I bet that they would get a lot of people paying them off instantly, with no court costs incurred.

Frack. Nothing worse than slowing down to see the accident and the wreck has already been cleaned up. No blood stains, nothing. Lame.

I went through all 31 comments from the article and I didn't see any anonymous ones. Now you got me all curious...

Will PeerBlock/PeerGuardian still work? If not, what counter measures does one take? Also, does this apply to the USA only?
