You're absolutely right, I should have written: "in other words, they were not likely to have happened by chance", or something similar.
(the chance of it happening by chance was less than 5%, which for many papers is enough, and people still play the lottery:-)
The clock is started once the page is fully loaded. The page itself is _very_ light on CPU, so any browser on a Pentium 4 or up should work just as well.
For really great sound you need
these cables (a steal at 24,995 pounds for a 3 meter pair)(about $39,575).
how did this bug get into FF9 in the first place..
on
Firefox 10 Released
·
· Score: 1
Alright, it's in there:
"696020 onkeypress attribute on no longer gets events happening on the window"
How did that bug get introduced into Firefox 9 anyway?
How many sites process key events? Tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands?
Wonderful of course that this update simply gets pushed
to users.
For my puzzle site, and others like this
Italian crosswords site this meant dealing with lots of complaints from users, and no information on what was causing the problem.
Now on to test with Firefox 10... (and of course I have to leave in the special case code for FF9)
Now the mathematicians are done with Sudoku,
start working on Calcudoku (which is like killer Sudoku,
but with more operators and no restriction on puzzle size):
how many different puzzles are possible, given a certain puzzle size and a distribution of cage sizes?
how to deterministically create a puzzle with a unique solution?
how to compute a measure of the difficulty level of a puzzle?
how many (and which) clues are needed for a "single path" solution?
What if you're an app developer and only want a little information to save the user a login?
Impossible! All my app (Calcudoku) needs is:
(1) user id, and (2) first name,
but I'm forced to ask the user for "basic information", which is: name, picture, gender, networks, user id, list of friends, likes, music, about me, location, education history, and work history (what the ??!!)
I'm also getting fed up with the changing APIs, lack of documentation, intermittent errors,
and yes, I am using AdSense on the page, thank you Facebook:-(
An anonymous reader adds news that Google's Chrome browser is nearing 10% market share.
Chrome took another 0.72% of the market last month, and NetApplications is on the low side of things. StatCounter now says 14.85%, up 1.5% in the last month.
I'm seeing the same thing on my
Calcudoku puzzle stats page.
Google Chrome share now 13% for logged in users (IE 45%, Firefox 37%).
One thing I still need to do is break down the results by the difficulty level of the puzzles solved, to see if there's a correlation between IQ and choice of browser:-)
Of course, if you truly care about sound quality, you'll just use a digital output (either through USB or Optical) and buy a nice external DAC, thereby completely bypassing any potential electrical interference generated from a sound card.
My advice: Use cheap electrical wire and spend your money on better speakers (and spend more money on your speakers than on your amplifier...)
It all depends on your system. If you have a $200 amp and $100 speakers then sure, electrical wire is good enough.
Once you're in the range, $1000 amp, and $1000 for two speakers, you should be able to hear the difference between electrical wire, cheap ($2 / meter) speaker cable, and more expensive speaker cable ($10-$20 / meter).
Also, for example, in that range, mp3's compressed at 192 kbit are not good enough anymore.
You want complaining? How about this: This visualization is terrible.
The video took five minutes to watch and most of it was him rolling over the bars in the 3-D chart so you can see what each of the lines means.
Try watching it with the sound off, which is my lithmus test for visualization videos: if you can understand fairly quickly what's going on from the visuals only, then it's a good visualization.
For the longest time I have been using
define:<word>
on Google. Try it. Make sure you put the colon.
For example: define:hadron define:compunction
etc.
That's what I did. I first had my parents
on Fedora, switched them to a Mac Mini about
a year ago.
Whenever there are issues (always related to
how to use a program, not malware) I use remote
desktop to help them out.
Works like a charm.
Okay, you're confusing two issues. One is cameras in general and you, like many Americans, seem to have read the article in one of our trashy tabloids...
Spot on. Can we stop publishing articles from made-up-news papers like the Daily Express and the Daily Mail?
If not, then maybe US readers can start posting stories from the National Enquirer and the Globe?
I saw that program ('Britain from above' it was?). The guy had a TV in the control room, and was eyeing it for the end of 'Eastenders', a never-ending popular soap in the UK, which ends at 7.30pm...

argh, sorry, yes, you're right.
I ended up only reading the Guardian article,
finding the link from there, and didn't check
the summary anymore
Check out their site: silentuk, very cool pictures there.
Here are the Aldwych station pictures
$8,450 cheapo cables, pah.

Crush the Castle is great, I've always liked it much better than Angry Birds.
(what are their numbers compared to Angry Birds?)
There's an open source port called File System Visualizer.
Here are some (possibly outdated) compilation instructions.
Now the mathematicians are done with Sudoku, start working on Calcudoku (which is like killer Sudoku, but with more operators and no restriction on puzzle size):
For example puzzles, see online Calcudoku puzzles.
Check out Notch's (the creator of Minecraft) opinion on this:

Bottom line: it's a scam.
Knowing Microsoft, it'll probably be all brown. Now that's distinctive.

Please, how to disable this? My PC is 4 months old, nVidia graphics, and this site is sluggish ?!

If not, what is required? Ten more sites copying wikipedia content, so all ten results on the first page point to the same page?

For value for money, the Behringer UCA202 is great (about $25): http://www.behringer.com/EN/Products/UCA202.aspx
A big step up is the Cambridge Audio DacMagic: http://www.cambridgeaudio.com/summary.php?PID=320 ($400 or so).
Fantastic sound if you have a decent amp + speakers.
funny slashdotters always talk about gaming when complaining about desktop Linux.
minecraft runs on Linux.
what more do you want?

For some of my passwords I do something similar. I take a line from a song I like and use the first letters of that to create a password.
Same here. I pick an easy to remember phrase, and add some digits and a symbol for good measure. FYI, I wrote up some notes on Google gmail security recommendations.
