Part of the reason GIFs are so popular is because of the limited colorspace. The new colorspace and compression sort of turn this into an entirely new medium not a better GIF. Other than the sometimes better filesize I don't really und

There is just no way this is true. I mean there must be millions of examples of it done the right way from all throughout history. Picking a few awkward examples without context does not constitute research. I would expect this paper to get

I would love to see a study of whether it is more cost effective to be loyal to an airline and collect miles or to just always buy the cheapest flight. I imagine that the occasional free flight on non-blackout dates doesn't make up the

This is fun and all but calling the patent troll slain is a bit optimistic. Most likely "Rotatable Technologies" was specifically created to sue companies for this patent so they could simply go out of business if things got too r

Also, who cares what field she says she's in? She's clearly making a lot of money on her books, why doesn't isn't she considered primarily an author? I don't think it's a problem that there aren't enough w

Serious question, what is this representative of? Random internet comments? Unscientific internet polls? I honestly can't figure out a reason why any of this is any more relevant or scientific than a youtube comments argument about why

Sure, the oxford comma is not important unless it is disambiguating. But let's go meta and ask, Why do you care so much that people care? It's not like great or even good writers are getting hung up on whether or not to use the ox

Not that laptops in the classroom are the solution, but in general we need to change the teaching strategy in lower and higher education any way. We need high-tech, 2014+ ready educational facilities, curricula and teaching strategies. Lapt

If this is a gimmick to highlight the incompetency of the USPTO it's a clever one. Not only has ineptitude been used to secure trademark of one of the oldest known symbols in common use but that legal status is being being put to work

This is a good thing. It creates an enormous enforcement efficiency as now states can go after amazon (which they won't have to) and not individual tax dodgers. Not having to charge sales tax also creates an unfair business advantage a
