I don't think there's a difference. Whether it is your goal or not, the outcome is the same. "Reducing overhead", "improving processes", "automated-anything" are just other ways to saying redundancy (

In my experience, EPS is far more preferable when it comes to print production workflow. I couldn't imagine sending anything else than a PDF or EPS to a printer for the first run.

Uh, B. isn't correct. The risk to the Great Barrier Reef is to do with a new nearby port for coal exports. The dredging of the area is expected to unsettle seabed which could impact the nearby reef. Despite all that, these are all unre

It wasn't actually. Iran Air Flight 655 was shot down via a SM-2MR surface-to-air missile. Its the first paragraph on the Wikipedia article. This is an insanely important distinction, since a fighter pilot would have had the opportunit

If they have hosting services provided in they US, or by a US company, they may still be effected by DMCA notices (or at least, the hosting provider would be). Australian law is tricky when it comes to the DMCA. There isn't specificall

I agree, 126GB is far too little the moment you have to start using a virtual machine for anything. Suddenly your options are to swap appliances (if using more than one) or try and run from an external drive. Both aren't fantastic opti

Layoffs are fairly regular occurrences, and don't necessarily represent the end of a company. In fact, even if it wasn't just 5% of their workforce, and not mostly Nokia staff, it wouldn't be a concern — its just business as

Just a funny side story; I was at a cafe for breakfast two months ago where a group of a half-dozen early-twenties diners came and sat down, ordered, then like clockwork photographed their food. What got me was that they paused to snap it,

It appears I did make a mistake, the university did conduct an ethics review. Although, I find that is all the more concerning, since you would hope that the university in question would have more ethical clout than an corporation.
