the only problem with this to me is that this new notation simply seems to add redundancy to the score, repeating information which is already there,but not adding much new.

I definitely agree about readability - I occasionally struggle to read music when there's more than about 3 people to a stand, and I had trouble reading this notation on a tablet, fairly close to my face.

After my current experiences running linux on a laptop with an optimus enabled graphics card I can safely say that I am never again going to buy a laptop with discrete graphics to run linux. It's been a pain getting Bumblebee to work (optim

I've been looking at getting a macbook air recently (because shiny), specifically to run linux on it. However, I couldn't find much about driver support for recent airs. How well does linux run on it? Is there much that doesn't work properl

I feel like it'd be cheaper for manufacturers to write better QoS drivers specifically for tomato, or wrt, than whole new firmwares, surely?

It really worries me, especially as it's not just differently structured distros like arch that are out in the cold, but debian, which Ubunutu is derived from.

Also, specifically Ubuntu - it depends on a higher version of libc6 than is available in everything up to and including unstable in Debian repositories, it's only available in experimental.

Babbage's machine was really a glorified calculator. Turing's conceptual machine is a way of representing what computation fundamentally is .

infinite, but bounded by some function of the input, so all you need to do is keep supplying it with extra tape. there we go, from impossible to merely insurmountable :D

Ah, I think I see, so people who are already aware of, and discussing it are able to, but later people are blissfully unaware of it.

I will admit, I don't manage my time tremendously; I get up late, I go to bed late. However, the time in between is spent doing the things I mentioned before, not on idly flicking between youtube, facebook etc. I'm not sure - I may suffer f

As an aside: apologies for the fact that this comment is repeated a couple of times below, I was posting it from train wifi, which kept cutting out, so I was unaware it hadn't posted the first two times. By the time I realised the 2 hour li

I'm currently at uni, studying computer science. I can very much relate to the problem of being unable to read a book to completion, however I fundamentally disagree with the reasons given in the article. In my experience, it's not a proble

To look at popular culture, the entire article reminded me of the plot of brazil, and the protagonist struggling with the rigid human beaurocracy that refused to accept that it had made an error.

I hope it's a good message that there were only 2 problems PyCon staff had to deal with - but I wish the current shitstorm had stopped here: http://pycon.blogspot.co.uk/2013/03/pycon-response-to-inappr...

Thanks for the link tip! I'm rather new here unfortunately, so I don't quite know how everything works unfortunately... I think this whole debarcle should be noted down in a book entitled "how not to do things". Everything, from the develop

Fair enough about shareholder obligations: I only have it on hearsay, from a business lecture as part of my CS course. To try and understand your perspective further though: do you think it was ethically responsible for PlayHaven to fire th

I agree that those offering the threats would be to blame but what we were discussing was the cause , who in this case is Adria. Ethics are tricky, and I don't think there are blanket wrong or right answers here. I agree that simply plac

I think you're confusing cause and execution. Socio-economic problems are often the cause of violent crime, but muggers execute it. To use your metaphor of an author and publisher, if I (as an author) published a reasoned, well argued novel
