I find it hard to believe that this happens with OCR turned off (as the author states).

From what I understand, it has nothing to do with OCR, it has to do with the lossy compression it uses (JBIG2[^]), which compares blocks of the image with other blocks, and decides to throw one away and just re-use the other if they're similar enough. Problem is, text is pretty similar to other text, especially when in a similar format (like currency strings). So the block of the image containing that string from one section is re-used in another spot that previously had a similar, but different, string.

Thanks for the clarification. Phew! I'm not happy, but relieved.

Cute, what is it doing? OCR?
Better not.

Nope, see lewax00's great explanation above.

A California startup called Crossbar is working on an alternative to current NAND Flash memory chips like those used in mobile devices and other consumer electronics products which could serve up a terabyte of storage and playback capacity on "an IC smaller than a postage stamp." Yes, please

Of all the members of NASA's current crop of distinguished astronauts, only two have the unique distinction of being identical twin brothers. And now NASA is using an idea proposed by the brothers, Mark Kelly and Scott Kelly, to perform a study that's been confined to sci-fi up until now. Twins... in SPACE!

But, there has been another, even longer running constant regarding the web for the last 20 years—working with web technologies is not “programming”, not “real coding”. <div class="is_this">programming?</div>

Web Design is the same as creating a Windows Forms app in my opinion. There is both programming and non-programming involved.
HTML and CSS = Dragging and dropping a control on a Windows Form in Visual Studio. I don't consider putting a button on the form programming. My 2 year old could do that.
PHP, ASP, ASP.NET, C#, VB.NET = The stuff behind the HTML and Windows Forms that does the work. That is the programming.
The non-programming part is "designing". I like the word "Developing" better because I think that covers both areas.

That's why HR changed my job title from Senior Analyst / Programmer to Senior Developer.. The analysis part is also part of the developing process.
The signature is in building process.. Please wait...

The use of CAPTCHA to combat spam bots is also blocking people with disabilities and the feature should be removed from websites, argues a group of disability organisations. Kill it. Kill it with fire.

I agree with that. When I get my site set up, I WONT use captchas. I will use other means like e-mail.

Yeah, I don't mind those as much. Or the "click here if you're a human". Painless, and still gets the desired effect.

That's a good idea. The website is only open to people with some "basic" math knowledge, a very good way to select for an intellectually capable audience.
Ehm, by the way, what's the solution?

Can architects play a meaningful role in agile projects, or does their tendency to do “big design up front” make them a sideline resource? Nick Malik, an Enterprise Architect with Microsoft, recently explored this topic in a blog post and concluded that architects can absolutely play a key role in software projects that use Scrum. Or are they just angry birds?

Version control is probably the single most important piece of the development environment after the IDE itself, essential for teams and I’d argue extremely valuable even for a solo developer. So, if you’re about to start a new project it’s a good time to consider what version control solution you’re going to use. That one.

"Visual Studio also has Git integration... in 2013 it’s out of the box."
An unusual step for Microsoft, but a good one.
