But they are not putting content in the spotlight, they are putting unreadable letter bottoms and empty space in the spotlight, the content is shoved away to somewhere far down. Maybe the design works on a tablet in portrait mode, but not o

Except that that is exactly the thesis that the article has rather convincingly demonstrated to be completely unproven. It may still be true, but we don't now. And I am not sure that Bodoni will beat Gill on the "visual cohesion to lines" m

We do still see static if we accidentally switch to the analog terrestial receiver built into our TV. And given the general quality of Samsung's software and UI engineering, that accident happens quite often.

A HDMI cable, a keyboard, a mouse and a powerded USB hub may come in handy, too. [Edit:] I forgot to mention some lego bricks http://www.thedailybrick.co.uk/instructions/Building%20Instr...

This is an article about Bayesian statistics, which is usually considered as quite hip in these places. You do remember who wrote the "A Plan for Spam"-paper, after all?

Because if you used a sufficient number to light a room you would have to hire people to lift the weights continuously, and if you have to to that, it would be far more efficient if you hired them to generate electricity using a pedal power

It's not twice as many bombs, it is (using your numbers) six time as much bomb mass as payload mass, so 50Kt payload, 300Kt bombs for slowing down, which gives you 350Kt payload for the acceleration phase, which would require another 2100Kt

But there are several businesses that tried to do exactly that and lost me as a customer since they didn't accept my perfectly valid address with a + in it.

But that again is just a convention, and before western music converged on some kind of well tempered or chromatic tunings, there were quite some experiments with keyboards featuring both flat and sharp keys, see http://de.wikipedia.org/w/

Not only that, but Microsoft's Z3 supports ocaml and is still the first google hit for "z3 ocaml" in my search bubble: http://www.google.com/search?q=z3+ocaml This project should change its name as soon as possible.

On the contrary - you have to at least admit that if you power off a compromised machine, the attacker could have installed all his code in RAM only so that powering off erases evidence. If you disconnect, you can still try to examine the c

But the specification is to print the number, not the character with the character code corresponding to the number. So unlike your "correction", his code does what it should. Admittedly, having a variable that contains either an integer or

Well, yes. I do remember when someone put a copy of an article on the pin board of the library of the local high energy physics lab titled "String Theory Draws Theorists Together" and someone added "String-" in front of the word "Theorists"

I usually can't hear individual tones in, say, a chord, but I heard this effect too. But far more prominent on my crappy laptop speakers (which produce no low tones whatsoever) than with cheap headphones that have a more linear frequency ch

One thing hard drives still have that SSDs don't is that they very rarely loose your data once it is written. Use SSDs for speed, but know that your backups have become far more important than before.
