I mean, I guess that makes sense. In the future, any data transplanted from an archaic security protocol would have to be treated as compromised. The only secure data is data that's germinated within the latest security protocols.

These are badly-designed products. How did they let these get to the shelves?

:sorry: Not smart. Lucky. I just happened to be wearing gloves. It wouldn't have occurred to me to be concerned about contact.

More pics, with scale. 1/4", egg-shaped. They look like hundreds of cocoa puffs. This pile is six inches away and is a distinctly different colour. Dark, coffee brown, instead of ilght brown. So presumably at last two critters.

I think you answered your own question. Seriously though, maybe a citation would be good. We might glean some hints from it about what they mean. Note: There are Youtube videos out there that seem to purport some New Age woo called Motion Theory.

Yes. I'd say we assumed this was an idealized question of geometry, rather than a practical one of user experience. And we didn't know, when starting out, the nature of those constraints (hard or soft). Put another way: your chickens are not spherical and they do not live in a vacuum.

Oh. OK. 30 degrees is an arbitrary practical viewing angle. But technically, anything greater than zero is viewable, right?

In Flatland the book, a Flatlander was lifted out of his plane and shown the wonders of the 3D world. I took issue with that. The Flatlander would still only be able to see a slice of the 3D world. They would see things change inexplicably - growing, shrinking, sliding around, etc. It would...

TIL this is not a typo. You Brits really spell it like this. Weirdos... Byyeeeeee!

This probably would have landed better in the lame math jokes thread. :wink:

Say hi to her the next time you hear from her?

That, and its clear mission statement. Many fora don't have effective guardrails.

OK. I've stepped in a pile of it and mucked up the thread for readers. :sorry: Deferring to bigger brains.
