I chalk it up to wanting an attractive title. The information is not actually secret in that the reader or writer is bound to keep the information secret. Rather, the knowledge was previously difficult (to some degree) to come by, and is

I love the idea. I know it's a bit far out for desktop printers, but there have been articles about people 3D printing dresses even. That would have been cool to print your own wedding dress.

Many of you have on-the-fly code compression in your pocket. When I worked in their R&D dept, I developed a feature for Qualcomm's modem chips that allowed the code to be shipped in compressed form. I wrote a custom paging handler

It might be interesting as a learning exercise but there's a lot of gotchas in running 2 as 3. Besides the obvious things like print, which will just cause an error, there's behavioral changes, like with division and range, that m

Hello! It's wonderful that you're joining us here today. I found your article insightful as I'm dealing with a very similar situation at work. I was wondering if I could ask for some further advice. Here's my story: I

The best evidence is in the process. When a literature class reads a novel, the professor doesn't just teach students to accept the words as they are. The students are encouraged to interpret and to understand how the author's th

Tax reform isn't the force driving Apple to do this. Apple is doing these things because they believe it will eventually help their bottom line. That's how corporations work and make decisions. Granted, tax reform may have been
