There is further clarification in the comments. Xeni Jardin replied:

I think that may warrant a little clarification in the summary.

If the driver is not positively identified then it is only proof of the vehicle's role in the infraction; not the identity of the perpetrator.

It has also been less than 24 hours since it was even posted and the Poster is already being advised to sue. That's some pretty expert-level gun-jumping.

So... the caption that the artist placed on the photo that Cory posted on BoingBoing reads:

I don't even know what's happening now. Is this what a stroke feels like?

But in this instance, I suspect the overwhelming majority of those eyeballs are there to hear about Cory's vacation. Of the reasons they are viewing those ads, I suspect the small image of a lake and a hammock is not in the top 5.

If the headline read: "Check out this photo!" Then yes, they're 'exchanging' it for ad revenue, but it didn't, the photo was superfluos (ex: It had been removed and the draw and content of the article would seem unchanged). This specific usage, with full attribution and link (which the BB article originally had), would seem like a good thing to me.

Depends on the school district, around here they can only hold them back once, then they have to advance them. It isn't about self esteem, not entirely anyway, if the kids don't do well (don't pass), the state cuts funding and fucks it up for everyone. Fuck up too much, and the school has to close, overloading the other schools and the slow downward spiral continues. Teacher salaries are also based on standardized test scores; which is extra fun if you teach special needs kids who either don't take them or cannot do that well. The state of affairs in the public school system here is beyond reckoning, and every "attempt" to fix it just seems to make it worse.

Memento and Inception both have underlying plots that require a bit of digging and discussion to bring out; but Memento's 'default' plot still took effort to follow. If people don't want to analyze Inception to bring out the hidden story, they don't have to; it still works.

You don't have to worry about spoilers because there aren't any. This is a painfully brief blurb from July 8th, before the movie was released, and only directly makes reference to a few scenes in the trailer.

Which is disappointing because I was really hoping for something of substance. The "article" spends more time talking about Courbould's other projects than Inception.

They don't even have to offer a keyboard/mouse controller. Offer a controller with a (good) touchpad in place of the right thumbstick. WSAD+Shift only offers 2bit input for movement, so the thumbstick is superior there. So this would give you absolute input for aiming, and high-res relative input for motion. Sounds damn near perfect to me.

Except there is no boss, this is freelance contract work. This website is for turning a hobby into a chance to get paid, not steady employment. Bored? Make a logo, post it. Profit, or don't, it's still more money than you'd have gotten paid playing video games all day.

Any statement about the potentially damaging content of an internal meeting should be taken with a grain of salt. Accusations from anonymous sources and denials made by CEO's at a press conference have equal credibility in this regard.

They still make Math Blaster, though their current avatar looks a little too... modern? I don't know, just keep it off of my lawn.

What? Those look stupid, when I was a kid we ha- Number Muncher??

Awesome.

Sounds like a pretty reasonable claim: had they actually preformed the more cost effective service and written you a check to cover your insurance deductible.

IANA Mathematician, but thinking about it more: You wouldn't actually need the shape. If you split a square in half at a given angle, you will get triangles and rectangles he seems to describe. One byte can store 0-180 in 12 15 degree increments, leaving 4 values to alternately mimic the "pixel" above it, to the left, up and to the left, or up and to the right. Then read them as 2 pixel pairs, where the 4 alternate values of subpixel 2 reference to the right, lower-right,down, and lower-left. Given a 36 pixel block you could store as 2 subpixels:


sx1: 0xR(ot)AARRGGBB
sx2: 0xR(ot)AARRGGBB

where sx1 Rotation defines 1 radian from 0-180 and sx2 rot defines a radian from 180-360, and uses them to slice the block into two colored regions (or references an identically shaped and colored neighbor). Slap a compression algorithm on that data structure, and it might actually crunch up nicely.
