I would guess that the markdown parser does some overly eager escaping before handing off the input to the latex renderer. If I change the "\left\{" into "\left\\{" and the "\," into "\\," it renders

That first one doesn't compile in LaTeX (assuming \ce is from mhchem?). Perhaps the inline mode $'s shouldn't be in there? i.e. $$ \ce{ \underset{global coordinate}{(x,y,z)} ->[\mathcal{R}][rotation] \underset{local coordi

I love their products, but their sales hasn't really convinced me either. I contacted them while our web service was getting hammered by a TCP SYN flood. They asked me which layer the attack was on, and I told them L4. They proceeded t

CSS stands for Cascading Style Sheets. The cascading part refers to the fact that when you have a HTML element which is targeted by multiple style rules (e.g. browser defaults, style sheets, inline `style=""` attributes, inherit

Yes, but isn't it more about the message? "We can get anyone, anywhere, and get away with it?" If nobody knows it was them, does it then work for making an example out of someone?
