Whence this new trend of hiding the price of a product or service? It destroys all my trust immediately. Without trust, a web service has nothing.

As I read the Wikipedia article, the frame dragging effect is hypothesized and has not yet been observed, though experiments have been designed and some are in progress.

I agree with your main point, I think, but c and pi are different. c has a unit and so can take any numerical value under a compensating choice of units. Pi is unitless, however, and cannot be defined as any other value. C and pi are simila

In the past five years, Ivy League schools have massively increased financial aid to make tuition negligible for students of median (or lower) income families in the USA. There will always be a "legacy super class" contingent, and much has

Do you mean "incrementally by 1 each iteration" where you wrote "monotontically", in your reference to Stormbringer's algorithm? Mathematically, I do not see how any solution could beat Stormbringer's, by considering the cases where toleran

For the record, Stormbringer's solution is slightly less than sqrt(n) in the worst case. floor((k * k + k)/2) = n; solve for k to get approximately sqrt(2 * n) The (Sqrt(n) * 2)-1 solution is less efficient, but only by a roughly constant f

To elude encoding, run length. To allude to run-length encoding, zip.

Do not ignore the fact that Apple's offerings are far less powerful, useful, and debugged than the competing software you listed. Aperture requires a Mac Pro to run properly, which undermines the cost argument.
