"The first instant messaging client I remember using was called BroadCast, in the early 1990s. It was a Mac chooser extension, meaning you launched it using the application you used to select a printer. It ran over AppleTalk, was completely peer-to-peer, LAN-only (of course), and you didn’t have to add people to your buddy lists — if you had the BroadCast chooser extension, your name showed up in everybody else’s list and you could send and receive messages."

Nanex / i don't know what this means / but it's beautiful / "This also brings another example of the dangers of placing a blind, mindless emphasis on speed above everything else. Algos reacting to prices created by other algos reacting to prices created by still other algos. Somewhere along the way, it has to start with a price based on economic reality. But the algos at the bottom of the intelligence chain can't waste precious milliseconds for that."

Harun Osmanovic the picture is cool! but it makes me think scientis haven't got a clue! one day he is a herbivore the other day a bird! come on dude, make up your mind !
Kevin Stagg Agreed Harun. But I think they're a tad off. I'm thinking T-Rex was actually more like a penguin.
Volker Janssen When you look at naked birds (even chicken) they have a lot in common with dinosaurs. But if they had feathers, why were there no traces of feathers in places where fossils were found? If I'm not completely wrong, feathers just like hair need a long time to deteriorate.
Emily Kuzmick There has been evidence that feathers existed on some smaller species of dinosaurs, but there was recent evidence for there being fossil evidence of down on a much larger species of the Tyrannosaurus, suggesting that it is possible that T. rex had some sort of feathers or fur.
Joyce Davis Well we will never know will we. unless someone invents a time machine.
"When You Got it, Flaunt it" / 1968 by George Lois. Other ads featured Playboy "Bunnies," Lottery Winners, and other rich and famous. The campaign actually drove Braniff's customer base away, allegedly. Many were outraged that Braniff was "bragging." Also, Braniff's core target market didn't relate to the Hollywood types. In a bit of irony, many advertising schools and history books consider this campaign successful

In IBM’s lithium-air battery, oxygen is reacted with lithium to create lithium peroxide and electrical energy. When the battery is recharged, the process is reversed and oxygen is released — in the words of IBM, this is an “air-breathing” battery. While conventional batteries are completely self-contained, the oxygen used in an lithium-air battery obviously comes from the atmosphere, so the battery itself can be much lighter.

These days the only things that land on Hashima Island are the shits of passing seagulls. An hour or so’s sail from the port of Nagasaki, the abandoned island silently crumbles. A former coal mining facility owned by Mitsubishi Motors, it was once the most densely populated place on earth, packing over 13,000 people into each square kilometre of its residential high-risers. It operated from 1887 until 1974, after which the coal industry fell into decline and the mines were shut for good.

Justin Butler Anne Reinert, "Justin, is there anything more racist than pretending to know someone's race?" You're right. I suppose some people may be using false pictures and alias names to throw the FBI, or overly persistent door to door vacuum salesmen off their trail. "At best it is in very poor taste to refer to people as objects as this ad does." It's definitely in poor taste, which is probably why it was posted to begin with. However, it's more at the laugh at the ridiculousness level of tasteless, rather than the get upset and give yourself an ulcer level of tastelessness. I was exaggerating when I used the term "moral outrage." It's more like having to state the obvious "Oh, that's racist and offensive!", lest people think they agree with the poster and hate Chinese people.

American fast food companies are catering to the middle and upper classes and people there are getting fatter and fatter. Though there is much to say about the amount on oil used in daily Indian cooking as well. But unlike China, India doesn't have any sport culture; meaning Indians don't encourage any active participation in sports. They participate vicariously through their favourite cricketers, while noshing on some fattening snack.
