I can't really see any lying being done here. Is microsoft lying to people when it's selling windows 7 home edition to people for less money than the ultimate edition even though it wouldn't cost them any more to make copies of the ultimate

In case anyone is interested, I just did this mod for my hd555s and can confirm that it does seem to make the sound clearer although I can't really make a good comparison for obvious reasons.

Actually, roman numerals are easier to sum than arabics. To sum two roman numerals you just write all the digits together and collapse them as much as possible. There is no carrying over of digits and such. Otoh, arabic numerals are a lot e

the difficulty of the calculations is adjusted so that 50 bitcoins will be released every 10 minutes. so this would only affect the distribution of bitcoins, not generation speed.

For the overlaping keychords problem, I've found that it helps if I bind my window manager actions to the Super_L (the windows button). I've also mapped that to the capslock key for easy access. As practically no programs use the windows ke

The full length stick works better for duels. Filming cool duels is pretty much what this thing screams to be used for. Of course to minimize damage, you could probably use something lighter than a solid wooden stick.

Multiplication is a bit more general thing than that. Take multiplication of fractions, for example. You can't express that as the number of discrete blocks in a M by N rectangle. Of course you could generalize M*N to mean "the surface area

well it would very much depend on 4 Hz of what. It's really easy to notice flickering white light at 4 Hz but it's alot harder to see something that moves a long distance back an forth at 4 Hz.

those utilities are often used shell scripted to run many times in a row. at least in interactive use, the multiplied startup times can grow annoyingly long.

Even though it's really cool to have all these symbols available in fonts, I can't really see a reason for them other than decoration. I mean, no one writes in hieroglyphs do they? It would be really interesting to hear what people actually

I actually had a similar reason for switching to das, a layout optimized for the finnish language. I was starting to get wrist pain while typing, started to take notice of my posture and switched to typing with das. Typing feels more natura

I thought the ipad caught the competition off guard not because of the timing, people have made slate tablets before, but because of the pricing. When rumours of the ipad started to float around, most people seemed to believe it would be a

Page numbers can come handy for problem 1. Make the program recognize page numbers and it can tell you which ones are missing and you can just re-scan them. It's true that you have to open the book quite far, it might be a problem for some

It is true that this is pretty much meant to be a populized presentation but I would say it's still quite interesting (at least, for a non-psychologist). It does pack quite alot in a short and entertaining video :) Also, I don't think Maslo
