It blows my mind that Apple has basically put no effort at all into supporting the multi user business/education market. Our company rolled out our first LOB mobile app last year. Only six devices are involved, but they're basic

The "constant leaking" on the ground gets overblown a bit. The primary reason for the immediate refueling is that they would take off with a minimal fuel load, because the plane performed very poorly one engine. Fully loaded wit

It was cutting edge technology, but looked inferior to the physical models used by shows like Star Trek TNG or DS9 (I say sadly as a huge B5 fan).

> Do you like stretched stories over many episodes? Calling it stretched seems to imply that you're lowering the quality to make it last longer. That just isn't the case (most of the time). Look at a show like Stranger Things

Actually on Mars it would (or so it's thought) create a sort of self sealing system. The building's atmosphere will contain humidity, so as air leaks out through the super cold Martian soil that moisture will freeze, sealing the l

Entry level offers made to students are really an entirely different ballgame. They're usually made months in advance of the expected start date, often as far out as 8-10 months.

IIRC, strictly speaking stack machines are not allowed to modify values in place on the stack. Any decent JIT or interpreter is likely to recognize that it can optimize certain operations by performing them in place, but the bytecode/

It's easy to forget the massive leaps that we've made in computing technology in the last 30 years... In 1983, $1000 wouldn't even buy you a 5 MB hard drive - a hard drive, by the way, that was roughly the size and weight of

It isn't so much the source of the radiation, as it is what your body does with the material. When you eat a banana, your body gains additional potassium, and over the next several days your kidneys will expel that excess. So, your e

Except that Trump's running mate is a hardcore social conservative... and he would likely be one of the most powerful/influential VPs in American history thanks to Trump's lack of interest in the details of governing.
