Curious, since the content has to re-flow based on the available space is it possible to reference locations within the content without needed to manually page to the content?

Agree, felt too contrived and as a post more fitting for a side reddit.

And that doesn't even scratch the security implications. Cryptography based on complexity theory would become an instant relic. The only cryptography I know of that could stand up to a P vs NP solution is quantum cryptography. Of course, th

Ironically, what really matters is limiting heap fragmentation and memory allocation. Not nearly that exciting or tricky.

Yeah, but qualitatively you usually got more for your money by waiting with tech, the price may have gone down on the original product only because something better replaced it. The price drops are predictably cyclical. If I buy a commodity

I view it similar to apartments that don't explicitly state 'no pets'. If you're not hoarding pets or using company related IP, odds are good you're in the clear.

Mirasol seems very close, but I haven't seen any price points yet: http://www.mirasoldisplays.com/sid-2010 http://www.mirasoldisplays.com/publisher

It's not the publishers because the Barnes and Noble Nook already allows lending on an equal platform.

Not everyday, but certainly in the course of a week I'll think about it. It's a good reminder to focus on what's important and it keeps me from whining about the insignificant daily trials that really amount to life's nuisances. Interesting

This is something that's never far from my mind; the unknown sliver of time we have. I think about it when I wonder if I'm saving enough money for the long term vs spending it on some experience that will enrich my life in the near term. Wh

Both, not all tasks are equally parallelized. Some, like the graphics rendering pipeline, data mining, search indexing, and others can reap the benefits and already do. However, there are many tasks that don't parallelize as easily and lead

They have a nice system, unfortunately, the health information system landscape is a horrid mess of multiple proprietary data stores. Yes, I know there's DICOM, HL7, etc. The problem is that those standards don't preclude the difficulties o

Or we shift our oil subsidies to another energy source like solar/wind to supply the electric. We're already paying high gas prices, consumers just don't see it at the pump. Out of sight, out of mind I guess. Government can play a big role

Not sure what it was built on, but don't forget Microsoft had TerraServer http://msrmaps.com/default.aspx long before Google bought Keyhole for their mapping technology which was limited to a desktop application at the time.

This is one of those things that surprises me about technology people that push openness. I won't buy a Kindle until it supports ePub as a default format. Amazon went out of their way to create a proprietary format for a reason: lock-in. Th

Approach difficult problems with a curious attitude. Many problems that at first glance seem beyond your skill set or nigh impossible turn out to be easily decomposed if you play with them a little.

Why, the Star Fleet Federation of course. ;) Seriously, even if wealth were capped such that you could only attain a multiple of the median income or some other bench mark it would only serve as a straight jacket for productivity. Distribu

On the flip side, if these rooms get rented out it becomes more affordable to those of us that actually live here. There's still hostels for those who want to go the cheap route and meet plenty of foreign travelers.

The contract seems quite fair and it's worth pointing out that Andy Bechtolsheim invested $100,000 in "Google" before "Googol" was even incorporated. Google lore has it they changed the name just to cash the check. As far as 1% penalties, i

Well, he did have the foresight to invest a mere $1000 in a potentially worthless venture, but more surprisingly, he had the patience to hang on to it. It would make for a rather infamous turn of events either way.

Sadly, I've done this even knowingly. It's like mentally pacing from one side of the room to the next. Aware you're doing something, but it's not necessarily getting you anywhere.

Nah, doing nothing is the ultimate slap in the face. It's like buying a watch only to find out it stops when it contacts your wrist. The guy that sells it says "It's just a watch and look it still shows correct time twice a day. Just wear i

They should just offer a generic case/bumper or $10 rebate towards the sale of a range of cases with proof of purchase. Brand image restored, the world continues spinning.

It only makes sense if there's a competitive advantage to the upgrade. For the vast majority of businesses there isn't. In that scenario the cost of sticking with XP is actually a competitive advantage for those companies when the economy i
