Yes. Not only that, it should keep the submenu open when traveling inside this triangle (but close on timeout if mouse stays still inside it):

      +--------+
      | parent |
      |        +--------+
      |       /|submenu |
      |      / |        |
      |=====/==|        |
      |=====\==|        |
      |      \ |        |
      +------ \|        |
               +--------+

and close immediately when not inside the triangle.

Also, if in the parent there's another menu item with submenu somewhere on the path of mouse inside this triangle, ignore this item.

For best results, if mouse was inside the submenu for a moment, keep the submenu open until clicking away from it or moving over a different item in the parent menu. So many details!

27.Windows 8 gets Personal Use License for anyone building their own PC (geek.com)

Actually, their office is next to ours at 333 Bryant Street, and there's probably around 20 people in there. We borrowed a chair from them last week.

The article has wrong facts. The columbia journalism review author double counted inflation. The NYTimes piece he cites has already adjusted for inflation in the 1967 IBM Market cap.

Funny how they put the semi-colon there but not in the Javascript.
