Eye strain isn't from the colors - it's from the brightness of the screen switching and if the screen is the only light source in the room your eyes has to constantly adjust to new brightness levels.
To avoid eye strain - turn on a small lamp in the room. Make sure the ambient light in the room is not zero. That's way better. If anything I'd think this make it worse - the brightness of the whole room changes constantly making your eyes having to adjust more, not less.
You're using the lower bound of Wilson score.
But the Wilson score is an interval, in this case 93.6% - 98.9%. The center of that interval is 96.2% which is pretty close to this algorithms 97,1%.
I agree that you probably should use the lower bound of the Wilson score for these kinds of ratings, but you can't claim he's algorithm is badly wrong.
Yes, but what if the floormat is blocking the brake as well?
From the other direction, pushing it up.
I mean, they obviously don't know how to design floormats...:P
Because you want an internal infrastructure that allows you to replace the scanner easily. Those thing brake down, or more importantly gets replaced with faster new scanners.
One of my clients has a scanner farm that scans documents, then the images are sent to a OCR server farm. It's way easier to replace any part if it that way (we're actually trying out a new OCR suite right now so I'll test this one).
Even if you just have one scanner and does OCR on the same machine, braking it up this way makes it easier for you in the future.
So it's entirely plausible that the gene might have been caused by a spot mutation very early on while all mammals were basically mice, and it then had a sufficiently small effect on actual survivability that the trait didn't get bred out.
Not really. Unless there was an actual advantage to having the gene there will really not be a "sufficiently small effect" as long as it's greater than zero.
And there IS an advantage of having this gene: Scaring.
Scaring is faster and fixes you up good enough for most part. Regenerating takes so long you might very well die from the damage before it's finished.
This is fairly common. I have one such 'slave' accounts, and it has ~1k "friends". There are even apps that help you get "friends" just for specific games...
This is about asylum seekers, not immigrants. You can't seriously mean asylum seekers should know math to able to avoid being killed in their home countries?
If you detect it in time a small nudge may be all you need. These things travel rather long distances, a small nudge is enough to make it miss earth altogether.
No, regular expressions can not capture the complexity of that formula since it's an algorithm without memory, but with a finite set of numbers the can describe every possible match. You'll end up with a regex that incredibly long though, e.g. for 3 digits:
I don't know about USA, but it's probably the same as here in Sweden; if you own the company, the expense of the car can be deducted from the earnings of the company, so you don't have to pay taxes for the money the company makes (assuming of course the company makes a profit).
This means you not only skip the tax on the car itself, you also don't pay taxes on the earnings of the company, meaning you save even more tax money.
Here in Sweden for example, the VAT om automobiles is 25%, and the tax on company profit is somewhere arount 30%, so by buying the car through your company you effectivly get a tax cut of 47.5% of the cost of the car.
I haven't any GPL projects of my own, but I have helped out on others now and then. And I've gotten feature requests from users, and I try to help them to add the feature by themselves, or I charge for fixing it for them. It's that simple.
Don't do other peoples work for them, if they really need it they'll fix it themselves or pay someone to do it.
An interesting side effect of the Mt Pinatubo eruption was that it actually DECREASED the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere, since it deposited a large (40000 tons) amount of iron into the oceans, which caused an increase of phytoplankton.
I read this article yesterday, it seems related: Skjut från höften
(in Swedish, but has some pretty pictures!)
It's about a Standford Scientist, Ren Ng, that has made a camera where the focus plane can be set after the shot has been taken, using a set of microlenses just the way this article describes. Should be related, but how could a camera already be working if these guys just publicized?
No matter how many billion years the asteroid rotates around the earth the mass center of the system will not climb higher in the suns gravity well.
What you need is a bunch of asteroids you send past the earth on the far side from the sun, pulling earth UP from the gravity well and the asteroid DOWN.
This is not true. On the three computers so far I've tried Gutsy, two came up with a flickering monitor with nothing but artifacts. I had to reboot and go to "safe graphics mode".
I couldn't open a prompt either, I could "guess" it was there but it was the same strange artifacts.
This is probably a graphics driver problem, one of the computers had a on board graphics chip of unknown origin. But the other had a nVidia board.
(and no, I didn't file a bug. At the time I had stuff to do)
Interesting... It's not trivial. I suppose I could hold a hand close to a lightbulb, and since I feel the heat on the light side, not along the sides where "friction" should be the greatest...
I wonder if they can use something else... Like heat sensors placed inside the back cover. It would be hard to get the kind of resolution they showed in the video though.

But they are succeeding, aren't they? Wikileaks is in the news all the time, but what's in those documents are rarely discussed.

No, regular expressions can not capture the complexity of that formula since it's an algorithm without memory, but with a finite set of numbers the can describe every possible match. You'll end up with a regex that incredibly long though, e.g. for 3 digits:
^0(12|23|31|47|51|69|74|83|92|01)|1(12|23|31|47|51|69|74|83|92|01)... (etc)
(It will be 5 times longer in total and the last digits aren't the correct one, it's only for showing the principle)
So it's possible but impractical.

See Iron fertilization for some interesting numbers.
Actually, the article actually says "one atom thick and ten atoms wide". "Wide" here means both width and length though.
Making a honey-comb structure 1x10 atoms is a bit hard...

You make a good point. I know I've tried (and failed) to make a "good enough" XML parser in the past...
Is there anything like an Acid test for XML? Some XML document (or set of) with a bunch of pitfalls that you can test against?
