You need to work on your reading comprehension. Jabberworx claimed that the only reason people dismiss Silverlight etc. is because of anti-Microsoft fanboyism. In that context, the fact that Microsoft themselves are avoiding Silverlight in the Metro context directly contradicts his claim, unless we're accusing Micros...

This is excellent work and really fun to play with. Three things that might improve it: First, the data isn't meaningful without knowing what time period it applies to. 96,000 Chinese have emigrated to Korea. Since when? I'm guessing that the data must be comparatively recent (since there's no Irish immigration to...

I'd assumed as much :-) I'm a pragmatist: the free market solves some problems very effectively, and states solve other problems very effectively. Both have a tendency to introduce undesirable side-effects: markets have negative externalities, and states are subject to regulatory capture. The best solution to these pro...

There is an x86 version of the dynarec (it's taken from Ari64's Pandora port of Mupen64Plus 1.5). I currently have it disabled for testing on ARM devices first (would take minimal effort to set it up to compile the x86 version, but currently untested yet since I don't have an x86 Android device myself)

Well, no, you are missing out on the point that what you call a brute force method is actually a great number of checks, which are easy to do on an individual basis. P problems are NP problems too because they are easy to check, BUT they are also easy to solve, which makes them a subset of NP. I recommend you read aga...

They have never been a "leapfrogging" company. They basically follow the market. Somebody introduces a successful product or service and a few years later Microsoft either comes out with their own version or buys a company and enters the market.

This is true, but one-time pads are useless for most Internet communication, and symmetric encryption similarly requires a shared secret. Yes, many simple encryption algorithms would still work, but most of the Internet encryption algorithms would not.

Well, saying all P problems are easy it is a bit of an overstatement. The difference in P and NP problems really lies in the amount of time it would take to test all possible outcomes for a solution. P problems are solvable in "polynomial time," for example: 2x tries. NP problems are solvable in "non-polynomial time"...

I'm really surprised that it's so low. My parents both have an iPhone and neither of them even know how to update it. Surely there must be a lot of people that aren't up to date? My dad doesn't even plug his into his computer!

They're not missing much. Coding anything substantial and sufficiently original is hard and takes too much time.

It does make sense, though... For mongodb, every .1 alternates between an unstable and a stable version. So, 1.8 was stable, 1.9 was the unstable development version that became 2.0 once it stabilized. But yeah, it reads weird.

I think the verbosity comes from a lot of small stuff that adds up as you write more and more code.
