Yes, that's true. However, I find it hard to fathom why the IEEE would publish it both online and in their paper Spectrum magazine if they completely disagreed with it.
GMail allows all sorts of variations on your email address.
Suppose it is j.m.smith@gmail.com. Then j.m.s.m.i.t.h@gmail.com or jmsmith@gmail.com are also valid versions and will come to your inbox.
You can also add a + and any text after it: j.m.smith+no_spam_please@gmail.com will also work. Note that many places see "+" as an invalid email character, which means this isn't as useful as it might be.
The quote was "75-mph truth". I think the OP means "reality". Here in Connecticut, the freeway speed is usually either 55mph or 65mph... but if you go at that speed, you'll be passed by 80% of the traffic. The "normal" speed seems to be about 75mph.
I've been traveling at that speed with a cop car behind me (and lots of other traffic around doing the same speed) and wasn't pulled over.
Actually, housekeeping staff keys are often set to expire on a daily basis. The first thing a housekeeper needs to do in the morning is to revalidate their card. If the card isn't revalidated in time, it needs to human intervention (other than the housekeeper) to be reactivates.

Before we get a million "Adobe does this!" comments RTFA: "Microsoft applied for the patent titled "Accelerated video encoding using a graphics processing unit" in October 2004"
Far as I know no one was doing this in 2004
Still not enough information. Patent claims can change between the original filing and the version that gets granted by amending the patent application. It's done by trolls...
The practice of submarine patents was ended a few years ago, at least in the US. Check out Submarine patents on Wikipedia .
The most famous of these were the machine vision Lemelson patents, which were thrown out in 2005.
Let me correct that for you:
Claim 1. A device, comprising:
a first display region;
a second display region;
a subsystem operatively coupled to the first display region and the second display region; and
a data-holding subsystem to:
display a back side of a first page on the first display region and a front side of a second page on the second display region;
recognize a page-turning gesture directed to an outer corner of the second page;
display, responsive to the page-turning gesture, a page turn that actively follows the page-turning gesture, the page turn curling a lifted portion of the second page to progressively reveal a back side of the second page while progressively revealing a front side of a third page and while progressively covering the back side of the first page;
recognize a page-flipping gesture directed along an outer edge of the second touch region; and
display, responsive to advancement of the page-flipping gesture, a page flip in which pages quickly flip from the second display region to the first display region.
1. For unit tests, you can't go past NUnit or CPPUnit and the like.
2. For scripted stuff, I highly recommend FitNesse. It's a wiki-based scripting language that allows "fixtures" to be written to tie into your code.
Printers use the subtractive color model: Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and blacK.
It seems that, because TVs use an additive color mechanism, that the missing option from Red, Green, Blue is White.
But then perhaps those people complaining about "lack of black" in the images have something to complain about.

I wonder why the IEEE agrees with them? http://spectrum.ieee.org/at-wo...
It did! It was called the Department of Manure Vehicles (AKA horses) then.
You've been hitting the "of beta" button. That means you become one with beta. Try something else if you want a different effect.

Red light cameras are a great example of over enforcement leading to massive pushback.
And then there's the fact that they appear to *increase* accidents at the intersections where they are placed. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2005/10/03/AR2005100301844.html
