Chrome's implementation of "always deny" isn't particularly blunt as a tool; you can still turn it on for sites on an individual basis. The default of "ask" is ideal for me and most users. Judging from the numb

You don't represent primes, the primes are used to split the keys up and decide where in the tree it goes. e.g. to represent 31, you take 31%2=1, so you use child 1 of the root node. If the root node already has child 1, you take 31%3=

"Attempting a comeback" is a completely different task that usual, though. When you're winning, a good move has a mathematical definition; it's a move that, given optimal play by both sides, will lead to victory for you.

In English, "50% faster" is unambiguously "1.5x as fast". No one would ever interpret it as meaning that B is faster.

I actually do offer that too, for precisely that reason, but of course many people prefer the online version. And browser extensions and things like Stylish let people do some pretty neat things. It's just a support nightmare. :(
