How is a zig-zag numbering any less valid than any other method? Your mapping a two dimensional space with what is essentially a line. Sometimes it doesn't make sense for there to be discontinuities in the numbering, as one would have to do if the numbers always incremented in the same direction. Would you prefer that the numbers follow the path of a Hilbert Curve?

To answer your question though, surveyors have been using this method to number sections of land for much longer than you or I have been alive.

Whenever I'm forced to use windows, show file extensions and show hidden files.

Because vector graphics take up much less space. That's the joke.

Now I'm going to put the joke out of it's misery.

Most of the illustrations, formula, tables etc. in a math book could be vector graphics, most of them were in 90% of the upper level math text books I've ever had, usually in only 2 colors. Many math formulas can be represented and formatted directly using only Tex or LaTex. Mostly physics and math involving more than two dimensions would have more raster images, even color. But it's not like the publishers are going to be handing out PDFs with original vector graphics embedded. That would make high quality knockoffs trivial.

So, given your work history, where do you stand on the Clerks deathstar contractor debate?

Thanks for further proving my point.

Ditto. The plastics floss/pick combos work even better. Being thinner and super flexible, they are less likely to cause damage and reach the tiny crevices better.

You just repeated your claims without explaining them or backing them up with any details. You sound like someone selling essential oils and crystals as medicine. Try again?

Hardlinking files to their new destination and your normalized naming schema. Using symlinks would be madness.

In certain contexts the opinions of some federal officials is quite a bit more than "simply giving an opinion". The most obvious examples being the chairman of the Federal Reserve and the Commerce Secretary.
