unfamiliar

They're just doing it in a new and unfamiliar form. Even many of the common constructs in functional programs have been drilled into kids since grade school.

It will appear unfamiliar, it will appear strange, they might even appear phony. That's when the process begins.

For those unfamiliar with the history, that is the court that all patent cases go to. They've been co-opted by patent lawyers, and decide very much in favor of patent holders.

Somebody who's unfamiliar with it has no clue on how to even start solving it. Solving such a problem will add new techniques to your tool-belt for solving a whole class of problems.

I'm worried that to people unfamiliar with modern crypto, the diagram of your protocol and the "technical FAQ" might sound credible or even convincing. But it is not.

Just for a little context for those unfamiliar with Malibu. Some beaches are public, some are private and open only to those who live in particular neighbourhoods.

Trying to take the subway to unfamiliar parts of the city forces me to use google maps in the browser. Addresses seem to be hit or miss -- I've often spent time searching for an establishment or address just to give up and use google maps in the browser.

By way of example, Schneier is avowedly unfamiliar with elliptic curve. Schneier is a great popularizer of cryptography, but there are much better choices for the person whose job it will be to spot errors in other standards.

I would be interested to see a study that actually measures music ability, using set learning time frames with unfamiliar pieces and double blind assessment of music samples. If that was correlated with behavior, then it might mean something.

This isn't really a DAW. For those unfamiliar, a DAW is a fully-featured music creation environment including sound design, composition, recording, arrangement and mixing in one interface. Examples include logic, cubase and ableton.

Any engineer so fixated on not using Microsoft Word, and unwilling to submit a resume in the format requested by their potential employer, might not work out well in a number of environments where they might gasp be required to use operating systems, applications, and methodologies that they were unfamiliar with, or downright opposed to. Works out well for everyone - so, to some degree, a valid filter.

For those of you who are unfamiliar with what a memristor is, as I was, HP has an easy-to-understand analogy on its FAQ page about memristors: "A common analogy for a resistor is a pipe that carries water. The water itself is analogous to electrical charge, the pressure at the input of the pipe is similar to voltage, and the rate of flow of the water through the pipe is like electrical current.
