Years ago, I used an extension called Tree Style Tab. It's better than just vertically displaying tabs. New tabs open as children, and you can collapse branches, so things stay organized when you have a ton of tabs.

Years ago, a pedophile posted photos online with his face swirled, but police were able to unswirl it:

I have no idea who the guy in this photo is.

Speaking of palindromes, fun fact: "()()" is NOT a palindrome, but "())(" is.

The first one is like ABAB, the second is like ABBA.

An example I found: the string of digits 0123456789 occurs at position 17387594880. In this case, it took 11 digits to describe where to find a 10-digit number.

So I think such an algorithm would technically work, but your "start digit" would be so large it would use more data than just sending the raw file data. Not to mention the impossible amount of computing power needed.

I looked into litter box robots and decided to try a low-tech solution first. I got an Arm & Hammer sifting litter box for under $20.

Basically, you dump the whole litter box into an equal sized sifter, then lift the sifter and give it a little shake, then dump the waste.

I can completely clean each litter box in 10-15 seconds. It's not fully automatic, but I have no need for a robot anymore.

Yes, but you need Windows Professional to act as a server. Windows Home editions can only act as a client.

you could order something online and have it pop up right next to you minutes later

There are a few companies that want to accomplish that, but instead of using pressurized gas they want to use a miniature subway system.

For example: https://www.pipedreamlabs.co/

I was in a pilot state (Arizona), and I looked into it. It's only for federal taxes. You need to file state taxes separately.

There are already several online tax solutions that offer free federal and charge for state.

If you don't care about owning physical copies of the games, you should look into an Everdrive. It's a special cartridge that lets you play downloaded ROMs on your original NES.

I can't believe someone downvoted you for asking about the acronym.

I get frustrated when the title, body, and comments all use an acronym, but I can't figure it out from context. Even more frustrating is when the linked article also doesn't explain it.

I would like to be able to take compiled machine code and generate human-readable source code.

Imagine being able to fully understand and even modify all closed-source, commercial software.
