    Origins of the terms Cronos and Saturn?

    I like Flying Pig's explanations, but I kind of think Chronos and Cronos aren't meant to be identical figures. The parentage of Chronos is?

    Lying To Get a Job

    Ummmm the idiocy of that would be so dumb, only mirrored by the idiocy of the hiring manager that fell for that. In other words, that would be like someone with no clue in construction hiring someone with no skill in construction to pretend to build something. Epic Fail. Hmm well you are...

    Science questions not worth a thread I: I'm a moron!

    Hmmm can we really say there is material evidence of dark matter, as in de novo creation or isolation of it? I thought that is one goal of LHC, but hmm, I don't find any explicit claims by CERN / authorities. E.g. http://home.web.cern.ch/about/physics/dark-matter...

    What Color is Your Benham's Top?

    hf3KTsRRPLs This was more helpful. I almost saw like a maroon, at very high rotational speed. Mostly I just saw subtle tone differences of black and white. Overall, I disagree with the claim that color doesn't exist objectively.

    Should I purchase Beyond the Sword or Civ V (Vanilla)?

    Hmmmm..... it's basically demo both Civ4 vanilla and Civ5 vanilla. Civ4 BTS is really great for what it is (a massive rule expansion on Civ4), but has some computational limitations; Civ5 runs better on a modern OS, if you went beyond MS XP (which you should, it is not supported). Civ5 with...

    Giant video game collection for sale

    If you go to the actual auction page, he totally beat the stock market: http://www.gamegavel.com/item.cgi?show_item=958029 If I read the article correctly, he invested about $3K per year invested over roughly 30 years ($90K investment), and so far is going to net about $690K for that hobby...

    Science questions not worth a thread I: I'm a moron!

    Some questions, in Quantum Mechanics: Primary: Is the photoelectric effect ever observed to be modified by the type of elemental metal involved? Similarly for metal alloys of multiple elements? Secondary: If so, is there a relationship between say the atomic number of the metal element...

    Eric Cantor goes down

    I think this point form the OP cited article is telling: Basically a populist, more right-leaning point was made. But realistically, will that hold water in the general election? Will he be a serious politician, or an ideologue? Anyways, immigration reform isn't crypto-racism. If...

    Will Hitler be seen in a more positive way in the far future?

    Only to violent political societies owning ancestry to the 3rd Reich. And people who like mass transportation. To take the example of Napoleon, he was viewed as a villain for demanding too much in part, for achieving a lot of useless destruction for his people, and for challenging the...

    Can a non-human POV even be theorised upon?

    It's a fallacy to say that we can't imagine. Theorizing requires a degree of imagination. Therefore it's a fallacy to say that we can't arrive at theories with limited knowledge. However, accurate theorizing requires information that is validated with some degree of precision and accuracy...

    Employment Obligation?

    I'm not aware of legal incentives, beyond tax code. It's basically a political issue. Formerly employed people are generally unhappy voters, who will vote out incumbents, regardless of party affiliation. Chronically unemployed people might turn to criminal organizations as a means to...

    Updating a Resume When Changing Industries

    That's a tough question. But if you are applying for positions that imply using a C.V., then how you earned your daily bread can probably be conveniently left off. If you are applying for positions that imply a resume (e.g. non-academic, non-government) then I suggest you DO include all work...
