are you talking about HTML? w3c got it figured out, or do you mean LaTeX?


There is no HTML-container format, so you cannot create a multimedia HTML document (singular)



Can't the knight capture the white king resulting in checkmate for black?


No, it'd have to be in the position of the white pawn in the initial position to reach the king. It moves two pieces (not three) horizontally and 1 piece vertically, or vice versa.


What I am wondering is how can DDG show correct PPC results with out collecting user data. They must transfer searches to bing in order to display correct adverts.

They collect data. They do not collect personal, identifiable data.

What would you say are the skills required to fully understand this?


Possibly not too high. Try using map, filter, and reduce on some example problems and you'll pick it up fairly quickly. Project Euler makes for decent fodder. When you've successfully managed to apply them then try rewriting the functions (delete the implementation you are using - such as the library above - and rewrite it from scratch).


I wouldn't recommend Project Euler - it's math-based and that would be a roundabout way of learning anything else but math.

Here's my recommendation: http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/H-99:_Ninety-Nine_Haskell...


It's a pretty fast paced intro to a lot of functional programming concepts. You can read a guide like learnyouahaskell.com, which will take you on a gentler ride.


Thanks I tried haskell a few ties but never got the real life application to that.


There is no shame to kid games


Weird you didn't link to shopbot


Why not? It shows people are very aware of privacy and encryption in their day to day routine.


You have created the perfect layman meter. I can't of any of my friends or collegues who would even consider searching for such a program since in blurring can not be done. Didnt use your program but this can be proved mathamatically. These people will never use explorer and even if they would, They are the kind if crowd who actually reads error messages.

On the other hand you have my grandma,aunt. Random old folks who fall into the red messege = panic & insta call super urgent call to me.

So yea far more layman are using IE Sent from android.

As for the cert. When you know about you simply explaon this on the page.


If I'm understanding you correctly, you think only laypeople would search for such a thing because more knowledgeable people think that what the program is doing is mathematically impossible? Sounds like a classic example of thinking you know more than you do, and trying to look at the world as binary, black and white.

In actuality, images have a wide range of sharpness. In this case, Blurity can improve the image. (Using mathematics no less!) Will it be perfectly sharp? No, not always, but it will be better. And that's something people will pay for. Even experts.
