Wikipedia says:

A non-Newtonian fluid is a fluid in which the viscosity changes with the applied strain rate. As a result, non-Newtonian fluids may not have a well-defined viscosity.

This is some really crazy stuff:

I wonder if there will be a second wave of Atkins fans in the near future…

Eating a low-carb, high-fat diet for years doesn’t raise the risk of heart disease, a long-term study suggests, easing fears that the popular Atkins diet and similar regimens might set people up for eventual heart attacks.

Looks like Rackspace is doing pretty well… 🙂

Throughout the past eight years, Rackspace has also undergone many changes. Last year, one of its founders, Richard Yoo, left and Morris Miller, the company’s managing director, left to start other ventures. They played a key role in helping turn the company around.

If you have all-wheel drive – should you replace tires in pairs? All four? Just one?

I have an all-wheel drive truck and was told that all four need to be replaced so I don’t damage the drive train.

Turns out on my particular truck, that’s not true.

The system used on my vehicle uses the traction-control system to control wheel spin and transfer power to the appropriate wheels. And in such a system, mis-matched wheel sizes are not really an issue and will cause no problems for the drive-train.

Furthermore, you have to have a significant tread wear difference to matter anyways even it if did actually matter. I’ve found numbers as large as 70% – at which point you should be thinking about replacing the tires anyways.
