In most other languages this would fail code review as it is overly terse. I can see it does match the mathematical notation but if the language is supposed to provide any layer of abstraction then it doesn't do a very good job IMO. I

Not to be a downer but an academic study found this to have limited effect. I heard about it on freakonomics so can't vouch for how biased it was. Just an interesting point against the economist article. http://freakonomics.

The plugin details seems easiest but they are say "packet" and not http request and not necessarily by a browser. Presuming they have compromised the machine this staining will be affecting the network stack somehow most likely at

What's the process for going about decrypting these things? I've seen some that are just base64 and the like - but those have obvious patterns. How are you meant to decrypt something when you don't even know the algorithm? Is

To me it sounds like a good thing. We end up with 3 major rendering engines on the desktop; Gecko (Firefox), Trident (IE) and Blink (Opera and Chrome) and 2 major on mobile Blink (Opera and Chrome) and Webkit (Safari). This I think will hel

I read the article and whilst it claims Opera are going to be using webkit the cnet article it references indirectly ( http://news.cnet.com/8301-30685_3-20121236-264/hybrid-browse... ) does not mention webkit or the lack of presto. I don't

Why is it iPhone App marketing? A lot of the publications write stories about android and web apps as well. Trying to focus on a niche?

As long as you have the data then you can calculate it. It may be easier with SQL and a normalised form but that forces a lot of other constraints. With a non-relational DB the idea is to attack it with map reduce and possibly in app calcul

I appreciate it is written onto a 2d plain. But it does look like 3D. This appearance of looking like 3D when a screen is 2D is complicated and very mathsy (not a word - I know). I've tried reading about it before but it is not straight for

Can anyone explain how this works? I never have got to grips with 3D.

I use their heroku addon. I had an issue on a Sunday evening and was not expecting it to be fixed until Monday. I went to watch a TV programme and come back 15 minutes later (ad break) to find that they had already fixed it! Congrats guys,

Looking at the IWF website. Only child porn is within their remit. This seems a little crazy breaking parts of the web and effectively assuming everyone visiting a file sharing site is a paedophile. http://www.iwf.org.uk/hotline/the-laws

For a predominantly desktop oriented distro like Ubuntu 100% uptime is an unnecessary complexity. Switching kernels without taking the machine down isn't straight forward. A kernel update is the only reason the updater will advise a restart

Why do they need a non random code to generate these? If they want to guarantee the number of winners, they can just ensure that they only release so many winners. This would require them "solving" all the tickets they were to release and h
