I think you're reading the "SAMPLE LEGAL APPRAISAL" which is an appraisal for a different item. I think it's just to give you an idea of the form of appraisal they'd provide for in…

Impressive paint & decal restoration. I've spent a little time trying to restore some of these finished before and given up. This gives me hope. Maybe I'll try again.

Not as of 2 months ago. It took days of crashing or hanging programs to get the photos off my wife's iPhone. I tried everything mentioned including Image Capture on a new MacBook, …

Geez. You'd think that the letter N, being at the very center of both GNU and Linux, would warrant a space on a Linux user's keyboard.

Some things to think about: - 50mb is >> total cache on most systems you'll use. - This is far from the only function you need to optimize. --> The best performing algorithm in a m…

People have to be more satisfied with their jobs to work from home.

Panning would work fine since the objects in this projection don't change anything but position with panning. Spinning would only work in 90 degree increments, but that's fine for …

What did I say that called for downvoting?

You could skip all the CSS transformation stuff and just serve the browser the images in the orientation you want them. In this projection and buildings-of-cubes, there's only 2 pe…

It's easy to be wrong when it's so hard to make out what's right. Algorithmic traders are unusually secretive about their modes of operation. The primary knowledge dissemination me…

There were tablets on the market before Macs.

Perhaps they'll just use voice recognition to listen to your conversation to improve their ads.

To be fair, if you've got a budget that supports a multi-developer team and you fundamentally need their solution, you can afford their prices. They're not insane, and if you just …

I'll pay more with far less onerous terms. Seriously. I'll happily sponsor grammar aid work too. Get in touch: http://gruschow.org

HFT provides liquidity which reduces everyone else's cost and/or exposure to short term risk. Low-latency trading though costs everyone. Nobody actually needs anything faster than …

I didn't say it was just a webcam. I said it should cost in the ballpark of 2x of them. Adding a $1 LED with hundreds of little holes in front of it doesn't change that. Note: I'm …

How can 2x low-res low-framerate webcams cost $150 when I can buy as many as I want new, shipped for $6 apiece?

I wasn't arguing it was more secure. It could be made equivalent, but that misses the point. You don't always need a deadbolt in addition to a lock in the door knob.

You could just make min(len(secret_username)) = 1 + min(len(username)) + min(len(password))... if that's what you wanted. Not all systems need to have the same level of security th…
