It might also be that the structural changes required to handle a grabbing force would be too extreme. At that point it's basically a thin shell, so a grabber or cable might just slice it. I like the 'but then it can't land o

I work with python full time, and the last (#10 string chaining) is one of the few times the syntax had caused me grief, due to missed commas in what were supposed to be tuples of strings. The chaining rules are one of the few sources of ap

Wow, a lot of the replies here are so typical of what genuinely sick people experience every day . You don't need to posit a cause, you don't need to suggest cures and you don't need to critique his lifestyle. The point of t

Well here's another useful correlation: the first iphone launched mid 2007, the peak of the active editors graph. Perhaps the rise of mobile is the true cause here.
