Scrolling is a separate matter. I didn't even bother to scroll the first time. I just pressed the next/previous buttons on the slide navigation bar. In the scrolling case, I still don't see how it's "overriding th

I can't actually tell if that's sarcasm anymore or not. Next slide is a new URL, new page. Based on initial testing, the behavior seems fine. Same behavior as one would have for something like http://example.com/

"4502" might be a mushing of "6502" and "4510" together, making a name for their own thing? (The 4510 is a system in package variant of the 65CE02.) I too am not familiar with any "4502" in this conte

They could do something along those lines, but that would not be "keeping things simple". Plus, there is not significant motivation for them to do it — plain and simple. They could , but so far it's not worth the time/

Such is the innate aspect of data gathering and analysis. The more (relevant) data, the better. (What determines relevancy is not discussed here for brevity.) Partial data will only serve as a distraction if you allow it to. EDIT: If you

Agreed. The article writer really failed in that section. It's just rounding error. Based on his written reactions there, I honestly don't think he realized it was oscillating at the time he wrote that part. It seems like he just

Yes and no. Yes, additional sizes address the desire for satisfying the missing in-between sizes. No, because I'd like to keep it simple and avoid having to do that or even think about it at all. Basically, with the ANSI sizes you want

It is a big, diverse world. And various, special use-cases are best addressed with different aspect ratios. But, to me, the point of ISO 216 adoption in place of US Letter (and other common sizes) is about having a general-purpose/comm

To answer your question about my preference... For non-fiction books, A4 pages seem too big for me, A5 pages seem little too small to me, and B5 pages seem just right. Again, this is just for non-fiction books. Fiction books I prefer more

Lack of demand in the States for ISO 216 sizes in general makes it so that relatively/comparatively few stock such paper in the U.S. When wanting to print to the edges (full bleed), publishers will often print on B sized paper sheets

Although I don't agree with the width statement, I just wanted to note that I personally find the B sizes nicer than the A sizes for non-fiction books. I find A5 pages a tad small for textbooks, but B5 seems just right. (So, effectivel

I really wish we'd switch to the ISO-216 sizes. A4 to A3 is so much more enjoyable and painless than Letter to Tabloid. This kind of thing came up often while making posters for campus because it was cheaper to NOT print out all of th
