I was under the impression that Google Play Store apps were cryptographically signed by the developer/publisher (not by Google), and the phone would refuse to update the app if the key behind the signature had changed. Am I wrong on th

I live in neighborhood that was annexed by the City of Kirkland in 2011. 7 years later, Google's geo data still can't decide if it's part of Kirkland, part of Woodinville, or its own city altogether. Twitter identifies the ne

In the case of Seattle, Kirkland and Bellevue are host to quite a few small and large tech companies already. The office space is plentiful and cheap on this side of Lake Washington, and there is less of a worry of being hit with poorly pla

The dillema I see with this argument in regards to the Internet is that it's exceedingly cost-prohibitive to publish content on the internet without the discretion of an entity like GoDaddy. What's more, even if you have the monet

I notice some videos play fine at 1080p60, while others auto-throttle down to 360p. I wonder if this indicates that YouTube videos can be stored on a variety of datacenters (with a variety of paths between them and CenturyLink). Google&#x27

The eastside is a really promising target for a WISP. I've done some tinkering with HamWAN (the top of Eastgate Park&Ride has great line-of-sight to Seattle), but it's strictly non-profit and doesn't cover the eastside to

MS PGothic, a very common font in Japan, still uses this type of quote. "Quoting like this'' (double quote, then two single quotes) looks the most natural in this font. "Using two double quotes" looks quite odd (see

In the box on the right, it says "Japanese, Korean and Chinese characters are currently not supported", which is disappointing, but probably why you're not seeing it in the results.

Books can be shared in study groups, lent between students, checked out from a campus library, bought and sold between terms, and photocopied. Much the same could be done for a DRM-free PDF. The only way to complete MyMathLab homework is to

I would imagine this is a legacy from the Good Old Days when every Asian locale had its own encoding. Unicode imported the Hangul block from ISO-2022-KR/Windows-949 (different encodings of the same charset), which has only Hangul sylla

Somebody involved with Unicode must have had the same idea, because the ideographic description characters exist. However, I've never seen them used in practice because they don't actually render the character. You just get someth
