I'm using 2.8.10, and this behavior seems fixed. If you open a JPEG or PNG, there's now a menu option in File called "Overwrite file.jpg". If you do an export, this menu option is replaced with "Export to file.jpg&q

Please consider having at least an initial consultation with an immigration lawyer before trying to do this. The initial consult is usually a 20-30 minute phone call and is offered for free by many attorneys. Your intentions are good, but i

Not sure an unbounded 6% annual salary increase is plausible, especially over a 35-year period. That makes the "get a job" numbers quite inflated. I think its clear that the potential payoff from being an entrepreneur is very si

Agreed -- it would fit in right next to "Ask" and probably be able to use the same code paths.

You could write something like this yourself in about 5 lines of code using PhantomJS: http://phantomjs.org/ Check out rasterize.js in their examples section.

The IEEE is as important a publisher of computer science as ACM, if not more. Check out the IEEE Computer Society.

A knee-jerk introduction of the "NSA" keyword to a thread with the "Google" keyword doesn't add much to any discussion.

I'd be curious to hear more about this decision. I note that it lies somewhere approximately in between the extremes of Kenya/Nigeria/SA on one end and Central African Republic on the other.

All NP problems are decision problems. When you say "x is in NP", you're implicitly referring to the decision problem. NP-hard does not mean "harder than NP", although that is its colloquial interpretation.

TSP is NP-complete, so it is most certainly in NP.

It's not a filter, but you're losing a lot of information by discarding direction. Without direction, most nodes will likely be part of a giant connected component with small diameter, due to the presence of hubs. See my other com

The scenario you describe wouldn't be helped by using an undirected graph, since common hubs (technical support, sex chat lines, sales cold calls, etc.) would connect almost everything with very short path lengths. A common compromise

It's probably a directed graph, and the hops are directed paths.
