Kind of. But it introduces an artificial difference between edges and corners. You'd get the same ability for corners if you did them after the edges. The slightly counterintuitive “magic” is that you can trade a corner swap for an edg

It's like three weeks in the making with counterpart review. Pretty far from same day rip-on.

You can't turn a corner 180°. Did you mean flip an edge, or 120°?

You're describing a puzzle from the Curse of Monkey Island, aka Monkey Island 3. Ron Gilbert had no involvement there.

I'm fine with permissions. Heck, it's what I already say. Login, no, just no. Login is ambiguous to begin with, is it the action or the user identifier? Login as the process of logging in, the best interpretation, is still pretty

DoTT copy protection involved balancing the portable battery's chemicals. Copying a word or phrase feels off brand for a LucasArts game, that was more of a Sierra thing. Which specific version do you distinctly remember?

There is a certain nuance of “in war time” (as opposed to school time). It's the case here, but isn't automatic.

The issue isn't the figure 50, it's the drawing pool. Thread-initial description was 50% of the market, which is ambiguous. It could refer to either the market in sales, which indicates highest growth, or the market in userbase, w

FWIW I'm very sorry I put you through this. My comment was low value, posted during insomnia, I was very surprised by the reach it gained while I slept at last.

The point is, calling it zero-tolerance when it's not is misleading. There's a perfectly fine way to describe zero-tolerance with exceptions, and it's not even far fetched: “low tolerance”. Complete sentences may make it poss

«Est.» Note that French typically does not capitalize individual words in a title as English does.

The French editor didn't brand it as an «édition», no spelling error on its side.

The limit for a .COM's useful payload is 64KiB, but that wouldn't necessarily prevent the actual file from being bigger, with either truncate or wrapover semantics.

More generally, I'd be curious to know how they'd practically tune a keyboard to 12TET before the electronic chromatic tuner got around. Start with Pythagorean fifths then compress ever-so slightly? How'd you keep them… equ

50 years ago, unless you were studying at the highest levels of theoretical/historical music research, you'd likely have been taught wrong. The “Bach standardized the world on 12TET” trope is old and enjoyable enough to make a goo

Technically speaking, if they said it's G# it's G#. G# minor is a much better use of the key signature system than Ab: 5 sharps versus 7 flats. In practical terms, that's a proxy for it being more common. Your vision that min

Sorry, that wasn't my point but I haven't made it clear. 432 vs 440, independently of any unit, makes the math easier. 432Hz vs 440Hz, obviously, is two pitches that form an audible interval. But 432 can be a valuable explaining t

The length of the second is irrelevant. 432 makes the math easier by virtue of being more easily factorable, with no incidence as to what's heard.
