You may think you are. Far out. Why you think you can violate basic social norms, while others apparently support it, is beyond me.

If only you practiced what you preached. Imagine the amount of self-righteous bile that your servers wouldn't serve.

Keep in mind that 1974 was 36 years ago. I am working with a very different model of the world than you are I think. Capital controls exist in the world and some are quite harsh. However, no serious person is even close to advocating them (

Cool, thanks for the tip. I definitely want to do a German beer tour at some point. Just out of curiosity, how cheap would you say it is? Any crime issues?

Meta: I say something else. You retort something unrelated to your absurd initial declaration about the soon to disappear money order (I assume that wire transfers will have to go to). This level: I'm done.

Lol. I'd upload my passport but that's silly. Europe is not exactly cheap.

I concur. Not known for being super cheap I'd imagine though.

How does crazy paranoid stuff get up-voted here? Very Sad. Cheaper countries can be fun, but there's lots of downsides as well. If you are asocial, it could be your dream to live there. I'll always want a vacation there, but not to live the

Cool, although I'd suggest not getting to excited about AI itself. It's cool your already focusing on machine learning. A great way to get going in that direction is to check out the state of the art as expressed by AT&T labs Netflix Pr

I'm going to try to give you something totally off the wall. Don't forget that mathematicians were people. Here's three biographies of some of my favorite mathematicians: http://www-history.mcs.st-and.ac.uk/Biographies/Poincare.htm... ht

A bunch of uninformed whining is hardly in-depth. You'd think you couldn't file these electronically or that people have to create, gasp, invoices for the vast majority of such transactions.

How have you not thought through this? Black people must have been incredibly powerful in the Jim Crow-era south. It's not cool when people find it socially acceptable to say something venomous about a group of people.

Yeah, I've considered picking it up. Glancing at Fortran code is a bit off-putting though. You aren't going to beat my code by much, much less by double. I did want to see what was possible by doing everything on the cpu. Your point about

So you are correct about the original contribution thing. There is also an option to start early withdraws on investment appreciations as well. It gets complicated, but basically you can start making regular withdraws (once a month I think,

One of the best pieces of advice I can give you is to not obsess over the college catalog. Freshmen year is about making friends and enjoying your new found freedom. If you want to learn more the best thing you can do is be a good student.

Sadly, this is pretty much done by the citation count bit. People that write quality papers were either scooped up by a quality institution, or could move to one. Good work is done at a lot of places, but its more visible when done at a fam

The best advice I could give to someone trying to learn a computer language is to first pick something you'd like to do. You'd like to be able to put together a website so that's a good start. With an English background you might try somet

Totally depends on the context. I see no reason to have a priori preference for either. This way of doing it somehow felt counter to what feels like the trend for a lot of sites. When I'm messing with my own site, I prefer to do key value p

I think github makes a good crack at it http://github.com/rortian/Retinex/blob/53a2f818ce301f4912b02... But, you're right I was wrong to say anything about REST. I just thought it was an interest way to do a git tree explorer. I'm sure it

Yeah I guess that is true. I wish I knew a better term for what I'm getting at.

I guess I associate having cleaner URLs with REST. It's just funny to me this URL just passes params.

Please read before you get started with the FUD. It will be optional to display your main characters name. EDIT: To be clear >so presumably their RealId will be as well when the new system is implemented. Is false on its face from Blizz

Yeah, but you're still not acknowledging that they are making forum posting non-anonymous not game playing. Second part of the question totally varies. I'm in agreement with you that the first is probably more attractive. But, there are mil

Sure, but facebook is a very different model. Even if you'd like to be friends with people from your past you can ignore their future activity in a click or two. When the quality of discussion tends to be so low, you don't risk much by tryi

I think this is crazy over the top. They are not releasing game time played for every person. They are getting rid of anonymous commenting on their forums. I think it is a change for the better. If someone is a troll and/or exhibits anti-so

That's really a pretty outrageous claim. Microsoft has been pretty stuck since it was found to have violated anti-trust law. Just because he rode one company up to become the world's richest man, doesn't mean that he could have done somethi
