Surprisingly, a good rule of thumb for any criminal is to stay clear of any cardinal sin.

Lust - don't let your dick make any decisions for you
Greed - know when to stop
Sloth - go the extra mile or else it might bite you
Wrath - like lust, an emotion that can negatively influence your judgment
Pride - the best criminal and the perfect crime is the one nobody knows about, and overconfidence leads to errors.
Gluttony - excessive consumption raises suspicions
Envy - don't try to outdo someone else. He is known for a reason.

The road to hell is paved with good intentions and the toll is collected by hysterical parents.

The technique is promising, but the provided example video does not demonstrate a true advantage it has over conventional cinematography. They filmed with two cameras, one overexposing one underexposing, but they don't have one with the right exposure to compare with the composed HDR images. The city scenes are filmed at daylight, without any areas of high contrast that would make a high dynamic range necessary. The same with the people example, they even overdid it to give it a vibrant effect, making it more of an artistic tool than capturing shadows and lights naturally.

They should make a short film with city nighttime and desert scenes, that should be impressive. They should also contact director Michael Mann, he would jump at the opportunity to film HDR.

Nooo! It contains acetone or ethyl acetate, both of which are good solvents for most kinds of plastic, like your laptop handrest. It can seriously f%$# up the surface, making it look worse than with stickers.

On metal or glass it works great though.

I think the more important aspect of this is the quick gratification this system provides. With todays attention span you need to reward people quicker and more often, but smaller.

Anyway I can't wait for the first guy who goes "LEEROY JENKINS!" on his group assignment.

I use the leaking pipe analogy: While the pipe is leaking and I look for the leak we are at 0%, when I found the leak and sealed it we are at 100%.

Actually, yes. If google was about to patent the idea of the sidewiki alone it would be an excellent example not of prior art, but how trivial the idea itself is, and why the patent system needs to be reworked.

I think the author equates nose picking with eating one's boogers, Mucophagy. I would really like to know why people do THAT.

As for nose-picking itself, since humans are dry-nosed primates, drying of mucus in the nose is natural and cleaning it out is as well.

You could use glasses that are polarized the same for the left and right eye. That way at least you can get one normal image. Of course you would not see any 3D effect, but at least you don't need to stay out when your friends go to the movies.

I know you wrote that in jest but anyway, never EVER say something like that to a law enforcement officer. First he WILL arrest you, no matter how far in the cheek your tongue was, second he WILL get a search warrant for your house just to find anything to make a case. Then you will be forced to decrypt the container because if you don't all that is needed in court to convict you is the testimony of the officer.

And the difference between electrostatic and electromagnetic forces would be what? There is no reason to keep them apart, it's the same phenomenon. And what would that other force be that matter is interacting with outside of atoms, other than gravity?

That is correct of course, as of now, but the parent poster made it look like it would be fundamentally impossible.

If I punch you, the force of the blow will be transfered from my fist to your body by nothing else than electromagnetism. You don't need to be ferromagnetic for this to work. The outer electrons of the outer atoms of your body will be repelled by the outer electrons of the outer atoms of my fist.

Outside of atoms, there are no forces other than gravity and electromagnetism.
