I can see the advantages of both styles. Scale and proximity are very important to people traveling to destinations they don't usually travel to (often tourists), but the schematic nature of this new map definitely makes it easier to t

So many pranks, I didn't bother waiting until April 1st to pull them. Prank 1: In high school we wrote a fake DOS for our Apple II+. It accepted commands and ran them, but occasionally would reply with a snarky message. Our teacher was

Dumber question: would a galaxy that appears to spin clockwise appear to spin counter-clockwise when viewed from the other side? Does this imply that the real question is why galaxies' relative orientations seem to favor more spinnin

I'm writing a fictional spy thriller book that takes place in the early 1990s in two countries. I'm about 100 pages in, and expect the end product to be about 200 pages long. Not sure how I'm going to publish it yet; suggesti

Sure, and making the grade often has nothing to do with getting the job (e.g. just because you have a CS degree doesn't mean you're a shoe-in for that dev job you applied to). But since tests and degrees are simply indicators , n

First, lack of a phone won't cause them to be completely excluded from their social circles. If it does, then I'd argue those weren't their friends to begin with. Second, kids need to learn that social acceptance doesn&#x27

I don't buy arguments from parents about why they can't just take away their kids' phones, or simply decline to buy them a phone in the first place. My family didn't have a TV growing up. (This was way before the Interne

I'm guessing you and your brother are both well above average, in which case I'd agree that you could get more out of studying on your own (if the material was even challenging to begin with). The students referred to in the artic

I have a hundred or so such tapes that contain Commodore PET programs from the early 1980s. Last time I tried to read them (about 10 years ago, when they were about 35 years old), I had...mixed results. Part of that may be the tape drive (a

Not just that, but perhaps the app is smart enough to lock you out the second it detects an attempt to gather the schema, e.g. by logging and automatically responding to a query that displays the schema. Then you have to look for other ways

I don't understand your logic. Knowledge of the schema can give an attacker an edge because they now know the exact column names to probe. Whether these probes get logged is irrelevant; even if it makes the system more vulnerable for a
