Why can't we have all three when relevant? Description + formulas + code? I understand why some algorithms (AKS, RSA) would not make sense if you just spit out the C code raw but I think it would make the paper much easier to understand if

The straight lines in the background in the reconstructed video seem unrealistic. If my understanding of human vision is correct, we don't see things like a 2D pixelated display but with varying degrees of focus on items, backgrounds, and p

Most certainly a movement this time around. And it is such a relief. I've tried building empire before and I've had quite a few powder kegs. I mistakenly assumed that one could build an empire by triggering a series of powder kegs. The fail

Not to make this is an N-level deep thread but I totally agree with you. I didn't mean President going on national TV and saying "it's all good". I meant it in economic terms, like http://www.federalreserve.gov/monetarypolicy/fomc.htm doi

Don't know why you were down-voted, it is a perfectly good question. Personally I don't know but then again I'm not samy.pl. I know there have been unicode vulnerabilities in IIS in the past but what I'd be more concerned with would be XSS.

Serious question: Do people around the world really use non-English code to develop websites? If <div> and <span> have to be in English, CSS styles are in English, and libraries like jQuery have functions in English, are the

I am on iOS5. I knew it was coming too. I even looked through Settings > General to see if there was a way to set the keyboard layout. I didn't think about doing a [press & hold] on the key I use all the time to hide the keyboard. I

I do something similar with my web-app code. I keep an iPad open next to me when I code. Anytime I hit Cmd+B in my text-editor, it rsyncs the site to the server and some JS code running on the iPad automatically refreshes the page. It works

What kind of JS projects do you have? CS is certainly overkill for form validation but if you have 50+ JS files that all need to talk to each other, CS can help make things cleaner and succinct.

I wrote the user-interface for my iPad app in JS (using PhoneGap) initially. Working on a large pure JS UI project sure makes you realize the shortcomings of JS, both fundamental and syntactic. It took a week to convert the JS to CS by hand

Intel should make a single board that does it all. And offer it in 2-3 sizes/varieties. Dell can then just use the Intel Ultraboard and not have to worry about the hardware (CPU, GPU, RAM, Wifi, Ethernet, Audio, SSD, PCI/USB etc.) Let Dell
