   Interesting memories indeed. I took it as part of a special program in 6th grade. We split into two groups and the group I wasn't in found a corpse just off the trail, which cut our orienteering exercise quite short. I got to explain t

   Medium appears to generate and append a unique tracking code onto each page load, you'll notice only one of those submitters was aware of it and stripped it off. I bet Medium has a nice social graph of blogger and social share influenc

   I'm only aware of this slightly older (11/2011) article [1] on the topic. I've poked at the numbers recently in Big Query and see a wide spread for jQuery versions on popular sites. Maybe one of these days I'll get aroun

   Version fragmentation pushes the CDN hit rate down quite a bit. Unless you're using the exact major/minor version that some popular sites are using you're going to see high miss rates, especially on mobile where it likely mat

   Yes, there are tools exploring a couple different approaches. It's a tough problem if you want solid results, verification to avoid forged documents inserted alongside authentic ones, building tools to facilitate finding the important

    Seconding this. There are many other great suggestions in here to try but I would augment them with therapy. Find one you relate to, one that is accepting of the other things you're trying, and work with them. Colleges often offer low

    Spam and the like are going to ruin telecommunications like they've ruined email. It will be a slower process while they get bolder about skirting rules but they're going to get there. Wait until these spammers and debt collectors

    Yes, they're made with a 3D engine because the platforms and the widely available frameworks are all 3D. However, the games themselves, the gameplay, and the primary aesthetics of the games are not 3D and would be just as home in a 2D
