I think the first place I saw this technique used was in EmuDX, which had swapped-out graphics for Pac-Man, Ms. Pac Man, Galaxian, Frogger, and Donkey Kong. This was around 1999 or…

Note: replace "gb" in the URL with your country as appropriate.

Support for this was added a couple years ago: https://github.com/tomahawk-player/tomahawk/commit/5cd9e4962... I think you ought to file a bug, because it's supposed to work.

Well a calorie is the amount of energy to raise a gram of water by one degree Celsius, so if you're drinking 2 litres of water a day and it's 0 degrees vs 20 degrees, you'll burn a…

The issue is that they'd need an agreement with these stations. They don't need one with, say, NBC, because NBC is broadcasting their content over the air, and Aereo's arrays of ti…

Google claims an average-case 25-34% decrease in file sizes from JPEG and PNG, so I guess if you have more than ~100K worth of images to serve it would be worth your while, bandwid…

NYUD gives me a 324 error (no bytes returned). This one worked for me: http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:blog.no...

I think you have an extra two bytes (or a bug) here: function blocks(l) { s.map(function(p) { c.fillRect(p.x l is ignored, so you can remove it (and the part where you pass it in f…

Slate ran an interesting article last year about this aspect of the used book market: http://www.slate.com/articles/arts/culturebox/2010/10/confes...

This is good advice to give to specific individuals, but it's unrelated to the systemic debt problem. Your strategy can't apply to the broad population, or the universities wouldn'…

The study indicates premature scaling is the number one cause of startup failure. Y-Combinator's results seem to indicate the number one cause of failure among its startups is kind…

The phonetics are similar enough to English to make sense to someone who speaks both, but in terms of phonetic consistency, I think you're better off with Italian or Spanish (no si…

I think you're mistaken. Pepsi-Cola Company changed their name to PepsiCo to reflect their more diverse product line after their merger with Frito-Lay, not as a result of any trade…

Minor quibble: the box with the opening on top is a time machine. I don't remember any space-shipping happening with the use of props, it seemed to be all internally imagined.
