It’s not a practical solution for humans, because you feel cold and hungry all the time. But what Professor Kenyon found out was why drastically reducing calories has such a remarkable effect. She discovered that it...

A Princeton University research team has demonstrated that all sweeteners are not equal when it comes to weight gain: Rats with access to high-fructose corn syrup gained significantly more weight than those with access to table sugar, even when their overall caloric intake was the same. And they didn’t just gain more weight—they had higher levels of triglycerides, as well—both symptoms of...

Adventures in C++: Disappearing Strings
The first project for my Distributed Systems class must be done in C++. The majority of my coding efforts, however, have been in C, Objective-C, or Java.

For the lunar missions, 36K words of “fixed” (read-only) memory, each word consisting of 15 bits plus a parity bit, were available for the program. In addition there were 2K words of artfully timeshared “erasable” or RAM memory.
