Almost anything is daunting when taken as a whole, but when broken down into smaller steps becomes much more approachable. Nice writeup. On a somewhat related note: When cross-site requests are turned off the text renders as black text with

Thanks! I was more lamenting for wide adoption! Myself, plain old LaTeX is good enough, but my collaborators get anxious having to markup pdf...

I have to say, I sympathize with them. I tried libreoffice, but I just could not keep it up. MS Word is annoying enough for me, LibreOffice adds that extra annoyance. I just wish we could move to a markup system like markdown or restructure

The more I read about the stock market the more it resembles a complex gambling scheme to me. My view of the stock-market limited to high-school economics is the straightforward "here's how you own part of a company and how you can support

So, I've read in several places that QWERTY was designed to slow typists down. Therefore, there must have been an older layout that was actually faster. According to wikipedia this is not correct ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qwerty ). The

This is very true. In a way, now I think that protecting children from the fact of (natural) death is counter-productive. I think that when a relative dies it is important to make children part of the grieving process and to show how import

Code is a dry, dry topic. This article made me smile, smile wider and then LOL. This is one of the few articles on code that are very well written, informative and brightening.

In real auctions, when you bid you can not renege (otherwise the whole thing would fall apart). So why does eBay allow a bidder to bid and then not buy? That's ridiculous.

Thanks. What is the identity that shows up on the friend's feed? Is it a constant one so that it can be blocked if needed? If one of your friends goes 'rogue' and starts to spam/harrass you through this will you have to systematically unfri

I'm sorry, it's a bit early in the morning for me. I browsed the 'about' page and could not understand what the application DOES. I am not about to log into facebook through some application somebody put up randomly on the internet just yet

It's an interesting positive spin, but the other way to look at this is that they mis-judged capacity and built too much.

Yes, it was interesting to see it labelled out like that. I liked to think of the transform as a cross-correlation. You take a wave of a particular frequency (f) and cross-correlate it with your signal s(t) across all time. The fourier coef

In seriousness, I think it is right to poke fun at this statement because - the way events are portrayed in the article - this is simple sexism. The person in question seems to be annoyed by the lab simply because there are male members in

It sounded like pretty engaging conversation. I had a lower opinion of fraternities, but if those are the topics of discussion, well then, society will get somewhere.

I'm sure you can have the opinion that media in North America and Western Europe is very strongly controlled, but it is a fact that mass media (Television and radio, though not newspapers) in India up to the end of the 90s were state contro

Actually, having lived in India for a while in the 90s I can tell you that (if you lived in India at that time) you are likely to be more biased against the US (and other NATO powers) and more biased towards Russia and the Arab states. Indi

It's not accepted. The referees were very kind and gave the benefit of doubt to the authors and gave them the option of revising the paper. I think the Journal should be lauded for being open minded but principled. I think the authors shoul
