Don't call my country a cunt, and don't call my fraternity a frat. "Frat" is generally derogatory when used by outsiders. It's analogous to "nigger" being used by non-blacks.

The reason Boston and Palo Alto are such great locations are due to the locations of the elite neighboring universities and abundant reverse brain-drain

You have to ask someone to watch your laptop. I'm a psych major, and there was a study that demonstrated that people have a _much_ higher rate of deterring thieves when asked to look after someone's items, for some reason. Or, get a laptop

There are a lot of high-powered investment analysts who had proven their credibility with a string of years of success, guided, I'm sure, by logical and well-reasoned investments. That's just not how it works pal. Everyone is bound to be wr

Wow, how was that visual proof? For those who aren't looking forward to a lame video, the basic idea is this: e^(pi)(i) = -1. Why? Because you can express e^x as a taylor series: e^x = 1 + x + x^2/2! + x^3/3! + ... thus e^ix = 1 + ix + ix^

From Wikipedia: Intelligence As a group, the crows show remarkable examples of intelligence, and Aesop's fable of The Crow and the Pitcher shows that humans have long viewed the crow as an intelligent animal. Crows and ravens often score ve

Wow, kick ass. Now I don't need to worry about downloading an IRC client when I'm programming in the library and need to troubleshoot. Kick ass.

"Easily recovered" translates to "minor pain in the ass" Lot of build up for the pain body, bro.

Not only that, but you should do homework because it forces you to learn the material through spaced repetition , which will create more access cues for your long-term memory.

This is so true. In fact, I'd wager that my perl skills are ultimately the most valuable component of my resume. I learned perl in 10th grade by hacking on AIM robots, messing around with the Net::AIM module I found on CPAN. Then I got a jo

While on one hand you make a point, on the other hand, perhaps this article can simply be considered community advice to Twitter: if Twitter wants to protect the stability of its platform then perhaps it should consider more explicitly stat

Haha, no way! This is great news. Now, I only wish I had access to my Facebook chat list within my Gmail client. I already have both AIM and GChat rolled into one, and that's great. Then, I just need an iPhone client, and some way to integr

Bummer. The music industry is a tough nut to crack. I don't know anyone who's really ever made tons of money on a startup there; tons of legal bullshit. Anyone know if Napster ever did well? I think Shawn Fanning only ever made money on Sno

I am home for winter break and would be willing to write this for you in the name of science. Plus, it seems that you know Marcello Herreshoff, with whom I took Computer Science in high school. Email me the requirements for your tool to &#6

I actually have pretty good handwriting, so no. My handwriting has perhaps only improved from years on the keyboard. Coding and related pursuits are, for me, creative activities; my handwriting, I feel, is a manifestation of this temperamen
