The paradox of the immovable object and the unstoppable force is a classic scenario that spans both physics and philosophy. Commonly presented as the question: What happens when an unstoppable or irresistible force meets an immovable object? The answer of course is a lesson in futility as these 2 items cannot actually exist in the same universe as the definition of either negates the possibility of the other. See wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/w...rresistible_force_paradox for further ...Read More

I clearly remember turning in my honours thesis for my undergraduate degree at university back in 2005, and the hours I had slaved over my Matlab script so that I could generate some sort of useful data. I also remember feeling somewhat strange that submitting the code itself along with my thesis paper was not a requirement. Feeling it deserved some attention (and to make my paper look thicker), I attached a print out of my matlab code as an appendix. Now I'm a volunteer at an EEG lab, and I' ...Read More

Virginia picked up my mail the other day from my post office box and informed me that there were a bunch of Entertainment Weekly magazines in the mail. I decided this was very odd since I never subscribed to Entertainment Weekly. So I called Entertainment Weekly to find out why I was subscribed. It turns out that LiveNation.com automatically charged me and subscribed me to this magazine when I purchased concert tickets from their website. I have dealt with this issue with Best Buy before as well. I do ...Read More Recent News and LinksDon't stop 'till you get enough. This article attempts to explain why evolutionary psychology is a bunch of bunk, and how our psychological behaviors are not due to some evolutionary human nature but by present society's pressures or some crap like that.
I am not sure that humor is the correct category here, but you have to laugh. PETA apparently has opinions about Obama killing a fly during an interview. The called it "an execution". The article is worth reading as its covered in LOL.
JUNE 12--A North Carolina man is facing criminal charges for creating an amusing piece of public art from construction barrels.Joseph Carnevale, 21, was nabbed Wednesday after a Raleigh Police Department investigation determined that he was responsible for the work (seen below) constructed May 31 on a roadway adjacent to North Carolina State University. Carnevale, pictured in the mug shot at right, was charged with misdemeanor larceny for allegedly building his orange monster from materials pilfered from a construction site. DUI manslaughter only costs you 30 days in prison if you happen to be an NFL football player. At least that's all that its costing Dante Stallworth who, while intoxicated above the Florida legal limit, plowed down a pedestrian last march. From what I can tell from the article this ridiculously light sentence is a combined result of Stallworth paying a boatload of money to the victim's family and Miami-Dade State Attorney Katherine Fernandez Rundle's being a complete pussy. Stephan Cleveland (my new hero) got tired of looking at a car wreck that got towed to his condo complex so, after a great conversation with the police department that failed to get them to come get it, he took the car to them and dumped it on police department property.
CSS3 is the new kid in the stylesheet family. It offers exciting new possibilities to create an impact with your designs, allows you to use more diverse style sheets for a variety of occasions and lots more. We created this site because we want to share our experiences of CSS3 with you, and want nothing more than to simply be the biggest online resource covering CSS3. (Hey, we're ambitious!)
When promoting web standards, standardistas often talk about XHTML as being more strict than HTML. In a sense it is, since it requires that all elements are properly closed and that attribute values are quoted. But there are two flavours of XHTML 1.0 (three if you count the Frameset DOCTYPE, which is outside the scope of this article), defined by the Transitional and Strict DOCTYPEs. And HTML 4.01 also comes in those flavours.
New study shows that it is not the bacteria in the bite of a komodo dragon that can kill you but their venom. Researchers found that the lizards actually have the most complex venom-delivery system known in reptiles, which had been overlooked because the animal's teeth are so different than those of most venomous creature. The dragons produce toxic proteins—not unlike those of gila monsters and some snakes—that cause a drop in blood pressure and decreased clotting. Specialized ducts move the venom from five separate small compartments to openings between serrated teeth. After venom enters a substantial wound, victims can go into shock and bleed to death.
This is our sixth installment of Ask SM, featuring reader questions about Web design focusing on HTML, CSS and JavaScript. These entries are not all questions, but rather quick Twitter responses to the query, “What has been your most difficult CSS challenge?” Among other things, this post covers the sticky footer issues, positioning elements at bottom of a div, on having layout, aligning labels and inputs, auto top and bottom padding, z-index and more. If you have a question related to this challenge, feel free to reach me (Chris Coyier) by one of these methods:
Valve delivers once again with the "Meet the Spy" short hitting the internet recently. I can't seem to stop talking about TF2, so I won't. "The B.C. government is asking thousands of its employees to consider taking unpaid time off to save the province money and avoid civil-service layoffs.
This Washington Post article claims: "Google finally has an explanation for its giant fail whale earlier today. It was Asia's fault." A Japanese computer game maker on Friday dismissed a protest by US rights campaigners against the game "RapeLay." In this wholesome family games players earn points for various acts of sexual violence. The game creators see the game as a great learning experience for children and adults of all ages. Game players are able to gain points and learn valuable skills such as stalking girls on commuter trains, raping virgins and their mothers, and forcing females to get abortions. Spokesperson Makoto Nakaoka for the game commented, "we are simply bewildered by the move."
Wouldn't it be great if instead of National Prayer Day, we had a national being responsible for your own actions day? This is the first time that I have been disappointed in Obama. Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke assured congress that in later 2009 the economy should get better. He also pointed out that this outcome will be highly dependent on whether or not the economy does in fact improve. He cautioned, however, that if by late 2009, the economy seems worse, then it most likely will be. |
