The point when it gets very bright is most likely when it broke up in the atmosphere, and all the smaller pieces burned up. There will most likely be debris found over the next few days, but there was no major impact site.

According to TFA , DA14 is approaching from Earth's South while the videos so far make it look like this one is coming from the East, so they're on completely different orbits.

Ahhhhh. I appreciate the help. I realized the way I was testing if a number was a multiple of 3 or 5 was bad, but the % operator slipped my mind. I knew about it, but I guess I haven't used it very much. But I didn't realize bools could figure out if they were true or false when they were initialized. Thanks! I definitely learned something new from this little exercise. :)

I'm working through a "Teach Yourself to Program" book right now. Figured I'd give it a try. What do you think, want to hire me? :D

But no, seriously, I'm interested in feedback.

So what are the practical implications of this? Can someone explain it to me? Is this going to affect, say, CyanogenMod?

I love Google Docs. But, in the end, Word has been around forever, it's very mature, and it has features that fit any conceivable needs. It also has the advantages (and disadvantages) that come with being local to your machine instead of living in the cloud. Google docs is great for a quick and dirty word processing or a collaborative project, but you shouldn't try to write a novel with it.

After they started weighing the Higgs, it went on a diet.

I wondered about that too. Of course, if a few family members had already donated, and you knew it was only a matter of time before they caught you, it might be worth turning in your own DNA so you can later sow doubt with a "If I were really guilty, why would I have turned in my DNA?" defense.

Or maybe not. Who knows at this point?

You sound fun at parties.

I don't even really see that as a joke. It's in those quiet moments that my brain will often present me with an idea seemingly out of thin air. Who hasn't been dealing with some particularly tricky problem, mulled it over, banged their head against the wall on it, and then while they're eating lunch or taking a shower - BOOM - your brain suddenly puts the right connections together and you have some new insight.

Smartphones seem to be stealing away all the quiet moments of our lives, and I've come to realize that those quiet moments are important. Not just for our peace of mind, but for our ability to really let our brains work well. Lunch has disappeared as a quiet time. The toilet has disappeared as a quiet time. I honestly think it's a problem.

I experimented with not doing any "compulsive consumption" on my phone a few months ago, and while this is purely anecdotal, I felt like it really did improve my concentration overall.

But, this is really a non-story in any case, neither Torvald's political opinions nor Romney's assessment of airplane windows should matter to us

Wait, you seriously think it doesn't matter if the most powerful man in America is aware of something as basic as pressurized cabins in airplanes? I mean, don't we want the President to be, you know, smart?

Per my eyes and ears, no, he wasn't joking.

How many innocent people have we wound up executing? We'll never know.

How many innocent people have we wound up throwing in prison until they die? We'll never know.

Maybe we won't know an exact number, but we know the number is less. Because if/when exonerating evidence turns up they can take advantage of it by, you know, still being alive.

Now everyone can have easy access to the world's deepest cesspit of racism, misogyny, and murder-porn.
