    Kind of. But it introduces an artificial difference between edges and corners. You'd get the same ability for corners if you did them after the edges. The slightly counterintuitive…

    It's like three weeks in the making with counterpart review. Pretty far from same day rip-on.

    You're describing a puzzle from the Curse of Monkey Island, aka Monkey Island 3. Ron Gilbert had no involvement there.

    I'm fine with permissions. Heck, it's what I already say. Login, no, just no. Login is ambiguous to begin with, is it the action or the user identifier? Login as the process of log…

    DoTT copy protection involved balancing the portable battery's chemicals. Copying a word or phrase feels off brand for a LucasArts game, that was more of a Sierra thing. Which spec…

    There is a certain nuance of “in war time” (as opposed to school time). It's the case here, but isn't automatic.

    Kind of. Which part of it do you think is wrong?

    The issue isn't the figure 50, it's the drawing pool. Thread-initial description was 50% of the market, which is ambiguous. It could refer to either the market in sales, which indi…

    FWIW I'm very sorry I put you through this. My comment was low value, posted during insomnia, I was very surprised by the reach it gained while I slept at last.

    The point is, calling it zero-tolerance when it's not is misleading. There's a perfectly fine way to describe zero-tolerance with exceptions, and it's not even far fetched: “low to…

    The limit for a .COM's useful payload is 64KiB, but that wouldn't necessarily prevent the actual file from being bigger, with either truncate or wrapover semantics.

    More generally, I'd be curious to know how they'd practically tune a keyboard to 12TET before the electronic chromatic tuner got around. Start with Pythagorean fifths then compress…

    50 years ago, unless you were studying at the highest levels of theoretical/historical music research, you'd likely have been taught wrong. The “Bach standardized the world on 12TE…

    Technically speaking, if they said it's G# it's G#. G# minor is a much better use of the key signature system than Ab: 5 sharps versus 7 flats. In practical terms, that's a proxy f…
