Yep I'm wrong. Mixed up factorial just like mistercow said. Thanks for the corrections. And here I was worrying that someone would complain that my loop wouldn't address the issues…

He's right actually if the code is written sensibly. Well it should really be (N-1)! but close enough. Think about it in terms of 3 balls. I check ball1 against ball2 and ball3 the…

I have to second the completely unbreakable part. I have dropped it whilst biking many times (seriously I'm embarrassed to say like 4 times) and it has only a few minor dings to sh…

Especially since we as a species have eliminated so many other "natural" causes of death thanks to vaccines, antibiotics, sanitation etc. What we are left with are what we have not…

>If it's not complicated, why do some Android users complain about it? If it's as intuitive as you say, shouldn't everyone be happy with it? Don't you think this is a silly argumen…

Another benefit is that manufacturers can't screw with the button order.

"horrible UX on Android" This is more than a little hyperbolic. Sure, the animations may not run at 30fps all the time. Some animations running at 15fps != horrible UX. I am an iOS…

I googled it before I commented, thank you. Note that I asked if you had any numbers. In each of your sales comparisons links, they point to the very same short quote from an analy…

> The Xoom was superior in terms of all hardware, but it failed to make a dent against Apple simply because Apple executes the tablet exquisitely. Do you have any hard numbers to b…

Not only that, but there is no reason that the physics loop would have to be run in real-time. They could just as easily run the physics loop for a few frames as fast as the hardwa…

And yet there is a functioning work-around that is extremely simple: https://supportforums.motorola.com/message/332363

If you cannot honestly make this claim: "I believe in god/s", you are an atheist by definition. You may not be a strong atheist which is someone who would make the claim: "There is…

Is there a reason that MPEG-LA isn't offering patent indemnification other than they aren't sure H.264 is patent free either? http://news.ycombinator.net/item?id=2100601 This argum…

Rather short and lacking in details for a "review" isn't this? Anandtech and Engadget have already reviewed the Xoom in more detail and I have to say, this reads very much like som…

For "power users", the Xoom should be a clear winner, no? More free customization, tabbed browsing (and plenty of RAM to handle it nicely), and most importantly, it is free to deve…

I believe the new macs still have USB ports, no? So what incentive do peripherals manufacturers have to use Thunderbolt and target just the new macbooks vs USB 3.0 and targeting ev…

Thunderbolt may be technically superior in every single way, but unless other manufacturers use it for their laptops/motherboards, Apple's 10ish% market share is going to ensure th…

A display of that resolution is infeasible with current GPUs, though. The device would be a combination of too large, too heavy, and/or have too short battery life. I don't even th…

Dual-core and 4x the RAM offer no benefits to non-hacker customers? Sometimes page elements must be reloaded when browsing a SINGLE PAGE on the iPad. Surely you can admit that 4x t…

I disagree that Apple's tools are superior. XCode is a really unpleasant IDE to work in imo because it has so many separate windows, even in the All-In-One view. Admittedly, this c…

And Android for that matter. I really don't see podperson's point; what Android builds have broken backwards compatibility?

Are you saying that you believe Jonathan Schwartz is lying in this post? If so, what evidence do you have and if not, why the effort to undermine him by attributing attention-seeki…
