I read the headline as "James Cameron Spills the Details From His Deep Hive".

Oh, so that's what he was doing down there.

...and too deep. It awoke a being of segfaults and kernel panics.

You are doing something right as a parent. Bravo.

Cluster of Raspberry Pis = Bramble. Slashdot has been so drooly over every nitpicky update about these, I thought everyone here would know that by now.

One the one hand, this would be a very new business for Valve, even given their previous experience, which means it's a big risk. On the other hand, it seems like it's been impossible for Valve to not make money these days. Fun! I would love to see someone shake up the gaming hardware market, and they're certainly in an interesting position to do so.

I stopped reading as soon as I saw the phrase "a way to fuse babies with robots". Nothing the rest of the summary or the article could say could possibly be more rad.

As an iOS developer, if I submitted an app to the app store that does this, I'm certain it would be rejected for not meeting Apple's guidelines. Makes me wonder who had to be friends with who to get this greenlighted.

For reference, 0.189 Hz is roughly once cycle per five seconds. Take a finger and raise it for 2.5 seconds, then lower it for 2.5 seconds.

This doesn't count as anything more than discrete pulses. I understand that the muscles controlling his vocal folds are performing similar activities to singing, but this is not sound anymore.

This feels like a victory for the "correlation is not causation" camp, and it also helps me feel superior to more aggressive drivers in general. Two points for things I agree with! Definitely don't need to investigate the research any further.

Oh my. I really hope this was a troll, but I'm going to bite anyway. If not, know that you are in good company; most people struggle with the idea that watts already include "per unit of time". http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Watt

Of course, this is from the same person that wishes the power company would stop using kilowatt-hours to report my electricity usage and start using kilo/mega/gigajoules.

That being said, you may have some legitimate arguments if you have the units straightened out.

This sounds like a "5 to 10% tolerance" policy instead of a zero tolerance policy. Maybe I'm just overreacting, but anything that suggests to the guys that sexual harassment is just kind of wrong is missing the point.

Here's an idea: Get some fun, simple ideas for a solution from a group of women. That should get you pointed in the right direction.

I'm glad you asked for the citation. After tracking down the source, it turns out my statement was slightly misleading and I get an opportunity to correct it. I apologize. Also, it pisses me off when other people make claims like this without backing them up, so I get to eat my own dog food.

A more accurate statement: 75% of health care costs in the U.S. are due to chronic conditions, and the chronic conditions that are due to lifestyle choices dominate this category.

Source (it's a nice overview of the problem): http://www.cdc.gov/chronicdisease/resources/publications/AAG/chronic.htm

75% of money spent on health care in the U.S. is for self-inflicted diseases or the consequences thereof. That might be a good place to start looking.

I'm not saying that people that need dialysis or bypass surgery shouldn't be helped; I'm saying we should be spending money on ways to help them not get there in the first place.

Link/source? Some cursory googling produced results that weren't quite what you're talking about, and I'd love to learn more about what was happening there.
