No idea, but would idly speculate it could be related to the effect seen in bees, where stripes could be used to fool them into thinking the ground was closer or further away: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22915710

This looks like the same bug, back in 2010: http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/fr-FR/155b51f7-60ea-... (ie that MSXML is calling URLMon, with unpredictable results). There's a comment at the bottom of th

Duh, typed the wrong example there. The Leef Supra (24.99) is to the right of the Integral Neon, but less expensive.

I'm finding things to the left of things that are cheaper, eg Integral Neon 32Gb (29.18) left of Centon Datastick Pro 64 (29.97)?

No amount of pentesting with tools that are 'available to anyone' will help you with the attacks that aren't invented yet. MozDef is about incident handling. You still need to do this, even if you do pentesting.

The Bayesian argument would be that what these estimators are really doing under the language of MVUE/MLE/etc. is implicitly choosing priors I'm curious, which choice of priors corresponds to the frequentist answer? It look

Paperclip's solution still looks wrong to me. The require 'a' validation - of content type or filename. However, the content type comes from the browser - it's parsed from the headers with rack - and is completely under

I didn't. I actually wanted to report a bug with their site, that it lacks any explanation of what it does and why you'd want to use it (eg, does the feedback actually go anywhere?)

You're not seeing the wood for the trees. Ireland is just one example among many where it is a poor predictor of growth. I could pick out China, India, Brazil (and complain about the weighting given to small countries), or just point
