Wouldn't the results of that online visual contrast test depend on your monitor's color calibration, etc? Or is it designed in some way that avoids that affecting the results? I'd hate to think my body was infested with mol

Yeah, agreed that it seems unlikely to be a problem for most typefaces. I just think it's a bit misleading to suggest it's guaranteed to unburden the typeface of any and all 'intellectual property' protections ("In

This sounds like a typeface is not copyrightable but only because the mechanism for protection is different (patent system). So by doing what the GP suggests you wouldn't be violating copyright, but you may be in violation of the desi

How does the man page's "size_t fread(void *ptr, size_t size, size_t nmemb, FILE *stream);" disagree with the GP's "fread(buf, size_of_item, number_of_items, file_ptr)"? Both seem to support that "fread(b

Don't you need to have an "GitHub-approved" fork (i.e. use the GitHub fork button) if you want to create pull requests on the upstream project in GitHub? Or is there a way to do that from the kind of repo you're describ

Heh, repeatedly toggling some of the switches too rapidly on there causes some interesting growth. My "EXAM" switch ended up dangling down past much of the documentation.

As far as learning what it looks like, there are photos on the site too (under "The Artifact"). The incorporation of Facebook is a bit silly but it's a student project, I guess the point was really for the students to conside

This was actually discovered in 2007, not recently. From the archeologist who discovered it: > This site seems to gain a life in the media about every six months or so. Sadly, much of the information out there is incorrect. For example,

Is it a second factor? The article makes it sound as though the MyGovID authorization is all that's needed to log in, and the official site ( https://www.mygovid.gov.au/ ) says it's used "instead of usernames

The reason I read it as being a major issue is that it is apparently (maybe I'm misreading this) described as the reason the previous effort failed: > Earlier attempts to turn the mist into usable water failed. In 1990 fog nets at C

What sort of maintenance does it require? The article describes it as the biggest implementation hurdle, apparently to the extent that it doomed a previous effort along the same lines, but doesn't go into detail on what it entails. R

Various farming strategies have been severely restricted in recent versions of the game; puddings don't even drop real corpses now. There are definitely still plenty of ways to loiter around and boost your score, though.

As far as all the sources I can find say, 'hone in' originated as an error for 'home in', but has become widespread enough to be considered an acceptable variant. If one of them is being let in erroneously by the nasty

The patent does say it can be installed at various angles, illustrated in figs. 25 and 26 (also of interest is fig. 27, which shows it buried in the bed of a shallow lake with a duck decoy affixed to the lid).
