I've heard 'piquant' (from French) being used for spicy in the red pepper sense. It sounds pretentious but maybe it'll be more mainstream some day.

I was very surprised he said Basic. Of course, he presume he doesn't do much hard core software engineering anymore, but I assumed that family was pretty much a thing of the past (and legacy code).

I recently followed a Computer Networking course, and the teachers actually went though pains to ensure those with older editions could follow the assigned exercises. From what I could tell, the differences between the 6th, 5th and 4th edit

That seems like a bad idea. TeX doesn't allow separation between markup and presentation very well. Something like DocBook[1] with a presentation engine like XSLT might be better, if it wasn't for the verbosity of the XML source. [1] http:

This might be obvious, but PDF isn't usually reflowable (and if it is, it's not very easy to do so), which makes for a painful reading experience on a smallish widescreen monitor, and isn't editable easily. I usually just decide between pla

Very interesting, and not too hard to follow with little knowledge of statistics. I might even start taking an interest in the contest, despite the Netherlands coming up with terrible songs to enter every year.

I hadn't thought of that. You also made me realize that existing modules written in PHP can be reused this way.

Let me make sure I understand... Is this meant to be run on a web hosting service that supports PHP in the 'traditional' way or do you need permission to run this as a daemon? If it's the former, I can definitely see its benefits, but if it

I assume that also doesn't count package manager or App Store installs. Still, OSX seems to be quite a big market there.

While it does require some terminal skills, as far as playing or streaming any media file and skipping left and right a bit (the largest part of my contact with a media player) or shuffling through a music library goes, I find it far easier

I can think of a few examples. Controlling your music player while in another program. For Wii-like games but also for example for making signals to teammates in FPSs. As the article said, presense detection. Perhaps for desktop switching t

I think the problem with the font rendering in this screenshot is the hinting. When you hint the fonts too strongly they lose their character and the diagonals' width becomes inconsistent with the straight lines' width, as you can see in th

I noticed this book: http://www.gutenberg.org/files/13693/13693-pdf.pdf , perhaps others, are missing a table of contents but compiling the tex source does give me one; it has probably only been compiled in one pass.
