X's is not possessive but Xs looks plain weird to me.

I seem to remember the old askoxford.com site said either was acceptable: CDs and CD's.
But now the replacement Oxford Dictionaries Online firmly suggests to avoid the apostrophe except in a few special cases:

Internet Relay Chat (IRC) is an application layer protocol that facilitates communication in the form of text. The chat process works on a client/server networking model. IRC clients are computer programs that a user can install on their system. These clients communicate with chat servers to transfer messages to other clients. IRC is mainly designed for group communication in discussion forums, called channels, but also allows one-on-one communication via private messages as well as chat and data transfer, including file sharing.
Client software is available for every major operating system that...

Remapping ASCII

Challenge
Write a program that reorders the ASCII characters!
The output shall be a single string containing all of the printable ASCII characters exactly once.
The first character of this string is assigned the value 1, the second character the value 2, and so...
// Create the element
var script = document.createElement("script");
// Add script content
script.innerHTML = "...";
// Append
document.head.appendChild(script);
Or
document.body.appendChild(script);
This is what the find() function is for.
> find("iris")
[1] "package:datasets"
> find("UScereal")
[1] "package:MASS"
If an object is in the search path, find() will tell you where it came from. See ?find for more information.
To get more information about a specific dataset, you can also use...
I'm doing some tests in C and only for studies.
#include <stdlib.h>
struct myThing {
char element;
};
struct myThing* create(char value) {
return (((struct myThing*) malloc(sizeof(struct myThing)))->element = value);
}
The create function needs to reserve space in memory for the stru...
How do i find out the depth of an expression in python?The code i've written works well for inputs like [[1,2],[1,2,[3,6,54]] but not for ones like depth (['+', ['expt', 'x', 2], ['expt', 'y', 2]]) => 2 and depth(('/', ('expt', 'x', 5), ('expt', ('-', ('expt', 'x', 2), 1), ('/', 5, 2)))) => 4

Programming Contests
Borrowed from http://meta.codegolf.stackexchange.com/a/1149/18487. (Apparently we had a similar discussion last year.)
You could do it like this:
n = length(a);
differences = meshgrid(a,a) - meshgrid(a,a)'; % get differences between elements
differences(1:n+1:n*n) = []; % remove diagonal
a(ismember(a,differences)) = []; % remove elements in differences
I'm assuming that you only want differences between uniqu...
When using SO's code blocks, can you control how syntax highlighting is performed? Many times, I've pasted (for example) some shell output into an SO answer, and the syntax highlighting has been completely unrelated. Is there any way to turn it off, or to change the language used?
Seemed like a good setup to use bsxfun -
abs_diffs = abs(bsxfun(@minus,x(:),x(:).')); %//'
out = x(any(bsxfun(@eq,abs_diffs,x(:)) | bsxfun(@eq,abs_diffs,x(:).'),1))
Exchange the Stacks!
Write a program that can exchange any character from two stacks. In this challenge, a stack is a tower of characters. An example stack is below:
1
a
4
d
*
c
3
There are two stacks involved in the challenge and both are inputted when the program runs. The program will also...

Counting the endpoints of an ASCII art
You should write a program or function which receives a string representing an ASCII art as input and outputs or returns the number of endpoints in the input.
The input will consist of the characters space - | + (with 0, 2, 2 and 4 endpoints respectively) ...0
Suppose you are stringing a strand of Fruit Loops for a necklace, bracelet, shoelace, or whatever. There are 6 loop colors: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple. You want your strand to start with red at the very left and cycle in rainbow order going right, ending with purple. That is, yo...
I've already made this on Python, but it seems that it could be shortened a lot:
txt = input("Type something.. ")
c = "#"
b = " "
print(c * (len(txt) + 4))
print(c, b * len(txt), c)
print(c, txt, c)
print(c, b * len(txt), c)
print(c * (len(txt) + 4))
So if the user types:
Hello World
