Google also broke using the enter key (when using Opera). Whenever your query does not match one of the suggested alternatives, you now HAVE to use the mouse instead of just pressing enter. Annoying!

Proto-Germanic (the common ancestor of English, German, Scandinavian etc.) was hardly ever written, but its reconstructed grammar is quite complex. Similarly complex as today's Icelandic. Now I don't know much about this reconstruction proc

I was wondering what the arrows actually mean. Turns out A->B means that A can be reduced to B (using a "polynomial-time many-one reduction"). So if we assume that B is NP-complete, A is too. So it all boils down to showing that Circuit

I'm not sure I agree with this description. In my experience, there are quite a lot of people sharing photos online. There are very few people willing to pay for software (that is not already bundled with their hardware).

No, it's not (E)Lisp related. My "debugger" in fact executes a whole function without stop and prints the values of all used variables and the results of nested function calls next to the code itself. I'm not yet sure how useful this is, bu
