There is very very slight overlapping if you zoom in ultra high, but casual browsers will not zoom in that far.

No, not necessarily. You've been spoiled by GPUs. Try filling any modern screen buffer (>1024x768) pixel-by-pixel, just as software rasterizers do, even with just a solid color. You'll find it takes a long and quite frankly unacceptable

VERY cool! I've seen this before, but this is the best version yet.

Almost all AI these days (even academic research) is a "solution for a single domain," unfortuantely.

It seems like this author is taking four classes and teaching an additional one. So, he complains that he needs to task switch too often. (How is this different from undergrad?) He should just wait a year or two for classes to be over with

This is a really fascinating sequence of articles discussing the ins and outs of businesses we see every day and always wonder about their market and profitability -- who knew that cabbies pay $18,000/yr on gas? Or that insurance for a yoga

well, one danger is medical companies recommending their drugs directly to consumers. I've heard that consumers often enter medical offices requesting specific drugs which may or may not be best for their condition. I hear that some are ver

Ironically, the article referenced by the author does not blame the C language for this problem. Instead, it blames the CA for issuing the certificates in the first place: "Marlinspike said since there is no legitimate reason for a null cha

Why have there been so many "<complicated topic> explained to 8-yr old" posts? It's great that the gist of things can be explained (most complicated things have simple premises), but the devil's in the details!

Friends of Ed offers one of their web development books on their website each Thursday as a $10 eBook. Apress also has a daily $10 offer, but Apress's are often outdated or about non-web technologies.

My experience has been that the suburbs were dull, allowing me to get really great at programming. But even better, when I had the opportunity to move to big cities, they were even more fantastic and exciting because I was from suburbs. I c

I was a very active programmer on the 0 A.D. team for a few years, but before the birth of this modern engine. The team is extremely high-quality, and the team leader/founder is very passionate about the project. 0 A.D. has been in developm

I don't think it's a good personality test (the instructions are often unclear), but it is a fantastic production.

I agree this is the ideal method; however, there will be people who will refuse to clear their table/throw away their trash ... then others will look over and say if he isn't doing it, why should I?

To start off, I recommend that you get more practical-oriented books which contain lots of exercises. There are actually some books which try to explore discrete math using C or Mathematica/Maple. Those might make the subject a bit more int

Unless medical research is someone's passion, the creativity and intuition needed to break through to new cures likely will not be present. This proposed system will introduce many new worker drones to the field, but likely few additions wh

Realistically, if you live in a large city, you really have nothing to complain about. Farmers, people in rural areas actually do have a case to make in this respect. From my experience, guys who can't meet girls (or the opposite) still com

The article is half-true. Doing something opposite everyone else is only valuable if you create demand for it, or if (very rarely) everyone realizes its worth. Just as with everything else, it comes down to marketing. In popular areas, you

I think that especially with the Internet not bounding paper lengths any longer, authors should write more comprehensive versions of their papers (or at least include an appendix). In most cases, the succintness of the papers is what makes

Of course, on the flip side ... having people continually asking about your progress is actually pretty motivating (even if for the wrong reason)!

It sounds like much of what these communities provide could be had by just going out and meeting your neighbors ...?

Misleading title -- the article talks about ANIMATIONS in presentations ... and frankly neither the study methodology nor the results are given in enough detail to make any conclusions. Lectures can be poorly designed in any medium.

I go to a lot of tech mixers and entrepreneurship meetups in LA. Although many people who are less tech-oriented come (particularly in film/entertainment), there are quite a few people who are very hands-on.

You do not even need to corrupt them. I wanted to open documents saved on a Windows 3.1 version of Word, and the modern Word software would not open them! This is not a good sign for the future ...

I live in a very walkable city -- in fact, finding parking is quite inconvenient. It's actually much easier (and healthier) for me to walk a mile to wherever I need to go. In this situation (as I'm sure is true with any downtown area), it i

I'd say it depends on the person -- but if you want to withdraw from regular society, then you can.

Interestingly, English words with irregular forms which are infrequently used often revert back to regular forms. The 'why' is simply because people prefer to say "viruses," either because they forgot the irregular plural form or because th

Actually, this is even better than a normal post since I can terminate early without reading the rest ;-)
