Huh? Size of the system is one of the defining constraints of "mobile". I guess you are saying the chip is small enough you don't think size of the CPU will be the limiting factor for setting the size of the system? True t

Everything I know about business I learned from Joel on Software. This sounds to me like trying to sell (essentially) the same product at a higher price point to users who are willing to pay more, to maximize profits. See Joel's &quo

Quoth the article: A very motivated attacker, or one with a sophisticated set of wordlists and masks, could eventually recover 39 × 16 = 624 passwords, or about five percent of the total users. That's reasonable, but higher than I wou

The practical utility is the reason for such work! JSON is an interchange format. When you work on a project that interfaces with others, the interchange format is likely outside of your control. So you have to do the best you can with t

And it makes it amazing that we actually did use Earth-based radar to study the planet Mercury. Before the Messenger spacecraft, some of our best science about Mercury came from Arecibo radar observations.
