Internal scene transfer was (and still is, afaik) done using FTP servers, often very primitive ones because they had to evade detection on hacked servers. When you're racing a large game or movie from one server to another, the last thing

They also don't usually support softsubs or multiple audio tracks, which are completely standard in anime releases. As a result of that, the anime community pretty much gave up on device compatibility when they left XviD behind. People wh

Anime groups can afford to be much more aggressive about technology because they have special requirements that older tech doesn't allow (styled softsubs, multiple audio/sub tracks, ordered chapters), and because their audience is overwhelm

If I had to guess, I'd say that the pencil uses solid brushes and the "right" algorithm because it performs acceptably in that case, while the brush tool stamps instead because it can't keep up using that algorithm with an antialiased brush

For anyone curious about exactly why the brush tool comes up short: http://i.imgur.com/E0LdU.png It relies on a stamp-like drawing method of copying the brush at time intervals, and simply can't do it fast enough for even moderately quick

Bash doesn't actually handle the syntax highlighting in those cases, it's all done by the interpreter itself. You'll need to either modify your interpreter through a plugin or replace it. For Python, check out bpython [1]. If you don't m

That is jibberish, and it shows in the code examples: Using an ES5 shim is best-practice these days, so that you can use Array.prototype.forEach and not jQuery.each (with its weird argument order), amongst other things that are commonplace

The -c flag doesn't have anything to do with that behavior, it's just how you pass a one-liner as a command line argument. From the usage output: -c cmd : program passed in as string (terminates option list) Edit: fixed formatting.

This doesn't make much sense. If anything, I'd argue that the Perl community is taking a page out of Python's book with their recent emphasis on readable code, best practices and things like "use strict" over the freewheeling hackery that

Think of it as a shortcut, not a substitute, for going out and meeting new people in the same way that going to a conference or bar is. If your goal is to meet new people that might become friends or repeat acquaintances, you probably don't

Keyboard ghosting: https://www.microsoft.com/appliedsciences/AntiGhostingExplai... Gaming on a keyboard with severe ghosting problems is infuriating, and I'd imagine that steno would be just as painful.

(Warning: This post contains lots of generalizations, because every US state has different laws. Look up your state's regulations regarding sales tax if you want to be sure.) In this context, "wholesale" has nothing to do with the quantiti

That would be a bit concerning, given that (according to the story), the survey was run by a company whose business is recommending "work apps".

The whole thing is odd. For example, look at the IDE category as a whole. Aptana is a set of plugins for Eclipse, and Selenium IDE is an Firefox plugin "IDE" for a very specific tool/purpose (writing Selenium tests) rather than a generic
