Things it would be better for you not to think about:
*
Line up those logos, people
*
Secret Code in Color Printers Lets Government Track You
(bonus: includes a simple example of error-checking codes)
*
This is how small RFID tags can be. Do you think you could find
one if it was hidden in something you owned??
* How many insect
parts, rodent hairs, and mold spores are allowed in various
pre-packaged foods?
Corporate disobedience
(Update: One of the ideas from this site was recently used in the book
Life's Little Annoyances.)
![]() | If I were a Springer-Verlag Graduate Text in Mathematics, I would be Saunders Mac Lane's Categories for the Working Mathematician. I provide an array of general ideas useful in a wide variety of fields. Starting from foundations, I illuminate the concepts of category, functor, natural transformation, and duality. I then turn to adjoint functors, which provide a description of universal constructions, an analysis of the representation of functors by sets of morphisms, and a means of manipulating direct and inverse limits.
