This makes me wonder why NT's minimum requirements were six times those of Windows 3.1's. Both 3.1 and NT 3.1 had essentially the same front-end, to my knowledge, so was NT's back-end just that vastly more inefficient than DOS?

Many students at my (non-US) university use Wolfram Alpha for graphing, simplification of formulas and similar every day, yet most have no idea that Mathematica even exists. If Wolfram wants Wolfram Alpha to drive sales of Mathematica they

How do professional movie productions do this? For example the Winklevoss brothers in The Social Network both had the face of one of the actors.

How is calling it "batman.js" not a trademark violation?

Sure, but it's like writing "United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland" instead of "United Kingdom".

It's not called the "Slovak Republic", but rather just Slovakia. The proper name of the neighbouring Czech Republic is just that instead of something like "Czechia", but this is not true for Slovakia.

Questioning whether Taiwan is a developed country is disingenuous -- its GDP (PPP) per capita, which is the statistic that matters, is about 34,000 USD, about the same as a typical country in Western Europe, and higher than South Korea. Tha

Google Search doesn't appear at all if I do the search on Google.no. Yahoo comes first, followed by Bing and search.com. Twitter, AOL and 4shared (a file sharing site) are all on the list, and so is "Google Insights for Search". I wonder if

Does the credit rating have a bigger impact for huge countries such as the US? I see lots of economically stable countries with poor ratings on the list, including Poland (A-) and South Korea (A).

Somewhat off-topic, but this struck me as an incredibly American comment. The idea that it's getting "too late" to achieve "impressive success" or whatever you call it before you have even finished your university education -- or even hig

Sorry for misinterpreting you. For the record, I'm not a native speaker either, which might be a source of confusion.

Google+'s video chat barely works for me at all. Maybe it's because I'm in Europe, but the video chat is basically a big blurry mess. Skype is worlds better.

Looking at the file, it strikes me that it doesn't seem to be quite what you think it is, namely a "relationship score" between Google+ users. People that I've never communicated with on Google+ but mailed previously have a score (and the p

Am I the only one who can't figure out how to retrieve this? Is the underscore supposed to be replaced by my user ID? In that case I get only gibberish when I wget the page. Edit: Nevermind that, figured it out through Inspect.

I first encountered IRC at the age of 9 or so, when I installed Linux for the first time and randomly opened X-Chat, which took me to Freenode. By the time I was 13, I had engaged in screaming competitions with GNU fundamentalists in #gnu,

Thanks. For the record, the average grades for the courses at my university tend to be Cs (in the case of the big introductory courses, the average is usually closer to a D than a B), with about 10% of the students receiving As. This discre

For curiosity's sake, how many percent of the students taking a typical college course in math or physics typically receive the grade A? (As you might guess, I'm not American.)
