Exactly. This requires that some "intelligent person" map all the monkey 9 char pieces together! which defeats the point. My impression of the theorem has always been that if you had an infinite number of monkeys, each typing a continuous r

Nice that refutes my point. I was basing it on this link http://speedtest.net/support.php under "What are the requirements to be a testing host". Edit: But now I noticed that they follow it up with "[in some countries] we are now requirin

She is definitely using this attack to get attention for her own company. At least we now know that her PR firm will not be able to feature you on techcrunch.

I'm using chromium 13.0.759.0 on OSX and I don't see this issue either, the gradient looks fine. Not that a gradient in the developer tools could overshadow all the positives of chrome.

Thats the bet nvidia made when they lost the chipset business. I'd say they are more interested in their own CPU specially now that Win8 is compatible with it.

He means on the iPhone and iPad. Nvidia acquired PortalPlayer which was the chip used in the iPods, but Apple decided not to use them anymore and developed their own chip. Meanwhile PortalPlayer chips eventually became Tegra. Also due to a

I commute on the caltrain for 1 hour in each direction. However, I get online as soon as I get on the train and time seems to fly. I'm often amazed by how fast it feels.

I often ask a similar question such as "Your top 5 languages". It does not negatively affect the interviewee, it just helps me target my questions better. Though if you say that you are a 10 but perform at a 5, then who knows, it could af

The problem with the poll isn't the sample (as the author suggests), rather its the fact that you can't predict such a thing, given any sample size/quality.
