I'd say "claims to solve" would be a better title until we see a lot more analysis.

I think the 4004 was a 10um (micrometer) technology and new we have 14nm (nanometer) transistors. So the individual transistors are 1400 times smaller in linear dimensions. So you could plausibly pack 1400*1400 = 1960000 or almost 2 milli

Once you insist that you have to be able to distinguish all of: one, capital-L, lower-case-L, capital-i, and lower-case-i (and maybe letter-O from zero) there are not that many fonts to choose between.

I found an example of a Wiley journal that claims to be "open access." But you dig around it is really "pay to place". Example: http://www.win-vector.com/blog/2015/11/fast-food-fast-publi

Argh, wrote "peak" when I meant "peek" and Wordpress admin panel is now acting flakey and preventing me from fixing it.

Loved that game (and its variants). The ship took damage and became less effective, so you had to take time out to find a base to repair. So few games of that era carried any interesting state.

I think I saw this. I visited a legit science or business page (don't remember) and a windows said my "Flash player was out of date" and immediately started downloading a Windows ".exe" claiming to be a flash insta

I guess my position is in the middle. Apple has only one monitor, and it is clearly out of date (not ultra resolution, not of same body type as current Apple products). So I quickly figure out I don't want it with no stress. I am more

Not to defend Apple, but the flip side is trying to figure out which of Dell's 30 or so monitors are current (and which have which connectors). Apple has one monitor (a bit obsolete and a bit overpriced), but you can quickly decide fo

I agree. For phones "unlock" means removing carrier restrictions and getting information off is something like "decrypt" or "crack."

There are definitely graphs that can only be approximated by Fourier methods (such as square waves). The issue is related to Gibbs phenomena: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gibbs_phenomenon

"For Internet Explorer, 3rd-party cookies must be enabled." Sounds like it activates a bunch of other stuff that the kind of person who would want to "opt out" would never want.

It is simple: the more fear uncertainty and doubt the "big email providers" can cast on no using one of the big email providers the more they chase everyone into their business (when they can read it). You can go on and on how it

Looks nice, nice to see a good example. Additional wishes: Can you pass through Tex style formulas? Also is it possible to footnote listings (add comments that go at the bottom or side of listing, sort of like "page 37" of the fo
