why there is the need for a extended own standard instead of extending the existing standards. Because standards bodies move too slowly?

They way they re-enabled iTunes sync is by changing their USB id to be the same as Apple's. What about this do you find objectionable? Do you deplore reverse engineering too?

Snakes are another good example (albeit they lost their legs over a much longer time scale).

Context. You could compute the log likelihood ratio of "bye bye" given the previous word versus the log likelihood ratio of "55" given the previous word. If that's not good enough you can generalize this to use the previous N words. Google

That depends on what your meaning of the word 'is' is.

There is a reason why Debian does backports: to get the bug fixes and nothing else. Why on earth would you want new features on a production box? If new features are added, something could break. If features are removed in the new version (

This is not a bad theory. However, with visual saccades an efferent copy of the motor command (the desire to move the eyes, the head or the body) is sent to visual areas. This is what allows to world to appear stable even though the eyes, h

Is this somehow different than mod_deflate?

by joeyo 17y ago
To my mind, the literal definition is the previous one "to plod heavily" (as in through snow) and it has, over time, idiomatically come to mean any kind of hard, slow work. The metaphor has come to roost in the dictionary, so to say. (-:

I'm not sure exactly what the parents means, but In my opinion there should be a color bar that shows what the lightest color and darkest color on the board means, actually probably two color bars, one for each ring. This would be useful ev

You say that you don't have to tip and then advocate tipping 5-10% for bad performance in the same paragraph? Of course there is no legal obligation to tip, since if there was it couldn't be called a tip-- it would just be itemized billing.

"Long slow slog" and "hits a tipping point", to name two.

I think that's dead on. And that effect is not be too surprising if you consider some more examples: the smell of cooking bacon can get your stomach growling and your saliva flowing. Indeed, as Pavlov famously showed, even a ringing bell ca

That is what's so brilliant about the GPL: if you accept the contract, then you are bound by it's terms. If you reject the contract (or plan to argue in court that it for some reason is invalid or does not apply to you) then you are still b

Hm, interesting. In any event it looks the same in Chrome as it does in Safari 4.0.2, to me.

Works in Chrome too! (Version 3.0.192.0 on mac, in case you were wondering)

It does, actually. Lua uses tables as its underlying data structure in the same way that Lisp uses the list. This is where a lot of its power and simplicity comes from. In fact, the language authors have stated how Lisp was one of their ins

Loathe as I am to engage in a programming language pissing-match, I think you will be surprised at how widely lua is embedded, perhaps even in products that you have used. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lua_%28programming_language%29#...

Is it your assertion that Lua does not have momentum?

In general the patterns are the same and the brain areas involved are the same but there is definitely individual variability, too. There is probably much less individual variability in visual cortex than, say, language representation areas

Side anecdote to your SSD note: I have a bit of code that steps through a binary file made up of blocks that are of a known size, in an arbitrary order, and come in N different flavors and save them into N output files, one for each flavor.

You go to war with the brain you have, not the brain you wish you had. The best you can do is be aware of these emotionally-charged valences so that you are able to discount them when appropriate. Besides, even if you could completely turn

There is a small but growing number of open access journals that do not require the author(s) to assign copyright. The PLoS family and the Frontiers In family both come immediately to mind, and I am sure there are others.
