Rubik's Cube - solved

Mon, 9 Aug 2010 20:17:08 GMT

Wow. "With about 35 CPU-years of idle computer time donated by Google, a team of researchers has essentially solved every position of the Rubik's Cube, and shown that no position requires more than twenty moves." This is not as trivial as it might sound; there are 43,252,003,274,489,856,000 different 'positions' in total!

The coolest, simplest, handiest website I've seen for ages. Why don't I think of these things!?

Circumspection

Man displays incredible lucidity and pragmastism after his wife is caught trying to get him whacked (as us guys at street level might say).

Putting a rather brave face on :-)

Keegan Quotes

Mon, 12 Jul 2010 07:57:22 GMT

Genius. I love some of these "The Germans only have one player under 22, and he's 23." "The good news for Nigeria is that they're two-nil down very early in the game." "They're the second best team in the world, and there's no higher praise than that." "You can't do better than go away from home and get a draw..." And my favourite... "In some ways, cramp is worse than having a broken leg" So true Kev, so true.

Whoa. Memory lane. Incredible. Chuckie Egg is the best game ever surely. Alas no Commando or Nuclear Countdown. Halcyon Days.

Poor old Guardian

Sat, 26 Jun 2010 18:44:35 GMT

Just an(other) example of how bad things have got at the Grauniad. The Guardian jumped the shark for me during the election. They then turned round and jumped over it again. Then they got in a big truck and reversed backwards and forwards over the bloody shark. I'll say it before and I'll say it again - The Economist is the only way to get ones news I think.

I rather agree with this. And it is annoying.

The Diet Delusion

Wed, 23 Jun 2010 20:28:30 GMT

Horribly titled for the UK market (it's called Good Calories, Bad Calories in the US which is much better) but brilliant book. By far the best book I've read on diet and nutrition. Not least as it backs up my n=1 experience and personal hunches.

Sam Harris

Fri, 11 Jun 2010 20:31:36 GMT

It's been a while since I've thumped the bible thumpers, but Sam Harris is rather good. "Atheism is not a philosophy; it is not even a view of the world; it is simply a refusal to deny the obvious. Unfortunately, we live in a world in which the obvious is overlooked as a matter of principle. The obvious must be observed and re-observed and argued for. This is a thankless job. It carries with it an aura of petulance and insensitivity. It is, moreover, a job that the atheist does not want."
