Well, this still makes sense to me. Couldn't this just be due to the reduction of the sample set as people go up in age(I.E. they die)? More people are going to make it to 20 years old than 40 and so on. This will also be amplified by population growth so it should be increasingly skewed towards younger people having more stable data.

Also, the older generation is more likely to have the family structure where the man works and the wife stays at home. I would think there would be financial incentives for a wife to over report her age for senior benefits and her husband to under report so as not to be forced into retirement.

Interesting article. I see barefoot/minimal shoe running as possible way to correct issues in running form. Could practice running on your toes on a track or something like that. You could also just spend time with regular running shoes to correct your running form away from the heel-striking which some naturally fall into.

Although interesting, I don't think I'd ever go for a run without running shoes. Just seems like a good way to step on something sharp and have it go into your foot.

I think phasing out IE6 is actually good for MS as well.

I had to google the windows one just to make sure it wasn't real.

This is definitely it for me. I wish I could operate with a 90 second delay like they have for live television.

I agree that a lot of them do look like copies. Of course when you are doing the shotgun approach to developing utility apps I think you should be ready to compete on the rate that you can keep adding apps. I see it hard to claim the ownership idea on something like a level when it is a very common object in everyday use.

None of the male photo contexts are mutually exclusive. You could satisfy all of them, even the bad ones at the same time.

I know there are probably cultural differences in what content people send in their texts in China, but I still have the feeling that they are going to get overwhelmed with the amount of text messages that alert their system.

I think just by convention, more sites have the logo on the left. Also, if you think of the three bars as physical objects, it sort of feels like the bars will topple over in 28. It kind of reminds me of the stack overflow logo a bit. Although, I guess you should consider the entries independently, I also like the designer of 89's work a little better.

Also consider the set of people born 1950 onward. They will not be included because they are on the cusp of being famous and haven't gone through their entire careers yet.

I agree, 89 is my favorite as well.

Looking at the homepage it shows a broken umbrella, a problem I have all the time. What I want is a something that doesn't break so easily, a sturdier umbrella. I don't want something that makes me look like an astronaut.

I lock everything. Is it that inconvenient to do? I know a lot of people that don't lock their stuff and I really don't understand why. But I guess my stuff is safer with other people leaving their property unlocked. Given a burglary it will be much easier to steal other peoples stuff than mine. It's like the joke, Q: How do you escape a wild animal? A: Be faster than the slowest person in the group.

I've been happy using Window Live SkyDrive. Has a smaller file size limit of 50MB, but gives you 25GB for free.

Thanks for this list. I had no idea about the Providence RI one. Although new, it's still interesting.

Possibly KFC Famous bowls, due to the irony of the name.

"She said Willa Blanc just showed up and said she had a large dog in the trash can, and paid her dad $1,000 to help them burn it," prosecutor Smith said. "They took all night to do it. This was even weirder than we were imagining."

Seriously...why would anyone believe a lie like that? This story makes me angry.

I've noticed when they run their specials on laptops the prices can run lower than the online only retailers. Not always the case though.

Making my side project a full time project.

I don't understand how much of anything dealing with XML can fall within the "non-obviousness" requirement of a patent. Who fills these juries for the trial? From the view of the general public I think the majority of things dealing with computers would be considered "non-obvious, and would therefore be worthless. Why aren't these decisions being made by professional peers?

I'd be careful about using that banner image
