    Think of your velocity vector as having a time component. The magnitude of this vector is c, so when you are at rest, you're moving full speed through time. When you accelerate, yo…

    Sure it is, an agency is a generic term and isn't limited to government entities.

    Are black developers uncomfortable with the existing name?

    I hate to pile on, but you're putting up a lot of barriers that are going to discourage casual viewers. I don't want to sign up for some app I won't use for anything else. I don't …

    That's because Google is an ad company while Apple is a hardware company.

    That's funny, I did the exact same thing, although I didn't make it as far as you. I had a working mouse cursor (reading the mouse data directly from the serial port) and buttons. …

    Thanks, I was thinking VB6, which I thought was relatively fine as an IDE for its time, although could probably benefit from some ReSharper-style improvements.

    You've never heard of a slow-poke? Similar usage, you can be pokey or you can be a slow-poke, both mean slow. The "small" definition is new to me. Seems like difference between Bri…

    There's really no reason to secure a site if it's just informational or someone's blog. The worst that's going to happen in this case is someone might be able to see the blog sent …

    Most likely some form of Windows CE, but close enough.

    MacOS's built-in Preview app can do this. It's fairly limited, but it supports text boxes and signatures, which I have found very useful for not needing to install custom software.…

    It's reasonable for casual biometrics, such as a phone unlock, where the likelihood of someone with a match trying to use your phone is remote. Many people will choose the same pas…

    In the presence of other evidence, it's definitely useful to narrow down to reasonable doubt territory. Even DNA isn't unique, in the case of twins, but is still used all the time.…

    They really ought to, when possible. I can't count the number of times I've encountered a new word that I could trace back to a basic Latin root. I feel like it gives you a good fo…

    I stopped posting happy birthday's on FB because it's always someone's birthday. Occasionally I will wish a close friend a happy birthday, but usually through text message. It's al…

    If they didn't have it on hand they could go down to the local Walmart, I've used it many times to treat my fish with ich.

    It may never be prioritized, but it's much better to have a bug report/ticket than to casually mention this in a comment no one will ever see.

    If it were an actual pardon there would be no way to retract it. Now if they just declined to prosecute, that would be a different story.

    I once stayed late and noticed a cleaner was wearing a polo from the company I used to work for. I asked him about it and it turned out he was an engineer and was filling in for hi…

    It would really help if professors would give you a taste of something applicable before diving deep into the math itself. I suffered through most of differential equations and cal…
