   As a computational linguistics grad student I find Pearson's "product" line completely mind-boggling, and their peddling it deserving a giant class-action lawsuit. Consider that the state of the art in machine representation

   Um, professionals? (scientists, graphic designers, architects, analysts). Custom PCs are generally a poor choice in institutional contexts because of high TCO (crappy drivers and nonexistent long-term support). That said, it seems weird tha

    I thought this might have something to do with printer steganography [1] but not if they are just X-raying the paper. Also I'm not sure whether that practice is ongoing--I haven't heard anything about it for years. [1] https:&#x2
