I think the first place I saw this technique used was in EmuDX, which had swapped-out graphics for Pac-Man, Ms. Pac Man, Galaxian, Frogger, and Donkey Kong. This was around 1999 or 2000. Its site no longer exists, but here's a mirror

Support for this was added a couple years ago: https://github.com/tomahawk-player/tomahawk/commit/5cd9e4962... I think you ought to file a bug, because it's supposed to work.

Well a calorie is the amount of energy to raise a gram of water by one degree Celsius, so if you're drinking 2 litres of water a day and it's 0 degrees vs 20 degrees, you'll burn around 20,000 calories a day from the differen

The issue is that they'd need an agreement with these stations. They don't need one with, say, NBC, because NBC is broadcasting their content over the air, and Aereo's arrays of tiny antennas are all receiving them. To do a similar thing

Basically, the problem is you are creating a conflict of interest by appending the affiliate bit. It's hard to take your advice as being unbiased when you stand to profit from it.

Nauru is (or was) trying to do this. http://www.thisamericanlife.org/radio-archives/episode/253/t... is where I heard about it, but this story aired almost a decade ago so I don't know what's happened since. I assume it didn't pan out.

Google claims an average-case 25-34% decrease in file sizes from JPEG and PNG, so I guess if you have more than ~100K worth of images to serve it would be worth your while, bandwidth-wise (though of course rendering time on the client would

NYUD gives me a 324 error (no bytes returned). This one worked for me: http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:blog.no...

I think you have an extra two bytes (or a bug) here: function blocks(l) { s.map(function(p) { c.fillRect(p.x << 3, p.y << 3, 8, 8); }); } l is ignored, so you can remove it (and the part where you pass it in from the eng

This is good advice to give to specific individuals, but it's unrelated to the systemic debt problem. Your strategy can't apply to the broad population, or the universities wouldn't have any money with which to pay your way.

I think you're a bit confused here. It's the height of the capital M, not the width of the lowercase em, that is generally 1em.

Do you have a source for LinkedIn's popularity being greater than Amazon or eBay? compete.com (not always the most reliable source, I'll admit) lists both sites as being more than 3 times as popular.

The study indicates premature scaling is the number one cause of startup failure. Y-Combinator's results seem to indicate the number one cause of failure among its startups is kind of the opposite: the startup just kind of peters out, and

The phonetics are similar enough to English to make sense to someone who speaks both, but in terms of phonetic consistency, I think you're better off with Italian or Spanish (no silent letters, few weird consonant blends, letters are consis

Sounds more like "What if there is a mission-critical bug that has to be fixed by the end of the day or else all your customers will bail out?" to me.

I think you're mistaken. Pepsi-Cola Company changed their name to PepsiCo to reflect their more diverse product line after their merger with Frito-Lay, not as a result of any trademark lawsuit. In the United States at least (though I belie

Minor quibble: the box with the opening on top is a time machine. I don't remember any space-shipping happening with the use of props, it seemed to be all internally imagined.

That sentence may have been updated to clarify: “It’s even more strange because JSTOR has settled any claims against Aaron, explained they’ve suffered no loss or damage, and asked the government not to prosecute,” Segal added.

Russia and China are perhaps good examples of places to host something the US government has little chance of getting to, but the governments of those countries are far worse about this sort of thing than that of the States, so I wouldn't

"More efficient than a bus system nobody uses" is a pretty low bar. In your city's case, shutting down the bus system and having everyone currently riding the bus take (potentially subsidized) taxis would be way more efficient, both enviro

This is because Chrome has a little disassembler built into their binary-diff mechanism, so they can get really small diffs (at least on Windows; for Linux they fall back onto bsdiff). http://dev.chromium.org/developers/design-documents/
