I give my thanks through comments. I think that makes sense given their model -- the question and answer are the straightforward facts about the problem intended for future googlers and posterity. The comments are little meta-data intende

Ha! A user that's not logged in can't even get to your ServerFault link. They're silently redirected to the duplicate. Even more frustrating (to you, I imagine) is that your question was closed unilaterally by a moderator -- the same mode

I've been looking for one as well. It appears as though they're still working on releasing more of the images. The HiRISE news release[1] now contains a (currently broken) link[2] to a 540MB non-map projected "descent long view." I imagin

Not really. The MRO is moving fast and at a relatively low orbit. "If HiRISE took the image one second before or one second after, we probably would be looking at an empty Martian landscape," said Sarah Milkovich, HiRISE investigation scie

And I certainly don't disagree. I was simply clarifying how the players weren't being completely rational game theorists. If the tournament is viewed as immutable (as it should be by the players) then the players misjudged, misunderstood,

The structure of the tournament also precludes throwing matches. Thus, they were not being true to the (mathematically) ideal rational player - they were violating a constraint of the tournament in their attempt to maximize another advan

What is it? It took me quite a while (and a few web links) to discover that it's a Mac email client. Interesting how many new email clients are emerging this summer. I'm taking note due to the likely abandonment of Sparrow. Also due to co

Somehow, I think there's more to this story. I know that I sometimes play with a site's URL parameters, especially if I'm going to be giving them my credit card information and it looks like they're doing something non-standard or risky. Of

I think there's a selection effect at play. There are many more lower rated players, but fewer CEOs and cofounders. Remember that this list is about executives. As they go up the list, the pool of players narrows. And thus, they have to

Yes, this I agree with. And I think this makes the argument in your top-level comment (that he's too small fry to worry about a different ordering system) much more convincing.

Thanks, already fixed. Chacha got it wrong and confused me until I found more authoritative sources.

It seems as though the important part here wasn't so much that he sold them himself as it was that he added the following clause: "You’ll see that if you try to sell the ticket anywhere for anything above the original price, we have the ri

Hidden in that long chain are some folks suggesting that turning off instant search fixed the problem. Don't know if that's actually the problem, but it may help those of you experiencing the issue.

Competition is great! I'm very glad that Apple has managed to exert some pressure on Microsoft here. I really don't think that this would have occurred otherwise.

No, he just hard-coded the number shapes. As long as the numbers used the same font as the example (and don't overlap), it should work just fine. OCR would probably be more robust in general (for varying fonts and number shapes)... but it'

It could be incorporated into GPS turn-by-turn directions on mobile phones and dedicated GPSs. Think about it, you request a route to some place, and the GPS prompts you with several route options. Some routes could very easily be incentiv
