yr right - i watched it again and the lights are right there.

i also do not see the light controlling the intersection for the red car.
it's off-screen on the left the entire time.
from the video alone it might be red or green.

but perhaps with special knowledge of the intersection's patterns, the light's color could be deduced.
for example, perhaps the green lights for the left-to-right moving traffic implies that the red car's turn lane had a red.

he surely has some valid points,
and i'm no windows fan,
but this piece is super fluffy.
it seems like about 80% "it's terrible, it's like < analogy >, it's really bad" and 20% actually saying what was bad,
so in the end it's 80% appeal to this dude's authority.

i see a lot of posts on good old slashdot here saying that "the real issue is clearly mental illness" (to quote one of many).

so but,
according to Mother Jones,
of the counted 62 U.S. Mass Murders in the past 20 years,
38 of the 62 (61%) showed signs of mental illness,
while 61 of the 62 (98%) were .. male.

which correlation do you think more strongly deserves attention.

me too.

is there doubt over the figure ?

also today:
the EPA has banned BP from federal contracts.

> Until then, my phone is staying on iOS 5.

i'm considering attempting to install iOS 5 on my iPhone 5 for this reason.

seems like one of the few people in the valley who've managed to retain their techno-weenie spirit despite enormous corporate success.

have not RTFA,
but if you just let the mass become imaginary, the relativistic velocity equations work just fine.
the only singularity comes in when you're going at c.

also i don't see much ("much" = "anything") in the way of soil disturbance around it,
which would be surprising even if it had dropped off the rover itself, more so if it were ejecta from the landing.

i was born in 1972, schooled in southern california.
grew up with IBM punchcards all over the house.
in 6th grade we had an apple ][ in the classroom,
but as i recall only as a treat: if you finished work early you could play Prince of Persia.
but even then a very small group of us would hang out in the library after school or at lunch
and teach ourselves basic. there was no concept of teaching us how to program in school.

by the time i reached 12th grade, there was a 'computer literacy' class offered,
i think they taught programming on TRS-80s, but even my friends who were in it
were way beyond what was covered in the class.
by then i was aspiring to be part of the amiga demo scene,
so i did an independent study to teach myself 680x0 assembly.
my teacher did a great job - he knew he had no way to really grade my progress,
so he helped me evaluate it myself. mad props for that.

i'm now a programmer, and pretty much all the core programmers i know
have a similar story - computers were around in high-school,
but really they taught themselves.

it's funny now - i look around facebook and see all these people i know
who had less than zero interest in computers when i knew them in their youth,
and are now product managers or otherwise have 'software' in their title.
i wonder if that sucks for them.

IANAG, and i'm no fan of fracking for many reasons,
but inducing small earthquakes seems like a good thing to me.
faults build up pressure, and one way or another that pressure is going to release.
it seems better if it releases in smaller, more frequent events than less frequent but large ones.

ho-hum. yet another example of the guvmint's access to time travel technology.
there's no way this guy had violated his parole in the past until the current hooplah.

another memoir about the elements is "uncle tungsten - memories of a chemical boyhood", by oliver sacks.
imo it was fairly good.
