It's not exactly related to TFA, but my girlfriend has been diagnosed with post-partum psychosis a year ago. She's been treated with many different medications that didn't work that well. The end result is that she's been in a clinic for 9 months out of 12, and I've been a solo dad meanwhile. She often looks like a zombie, and still hear voices even though she's under heavy medication.
Any advice from a fellow geek? Any happy-ending related story?
Mint is good. I've been very happy with Ubuntu till they begin to force Unity down my throat. Whichever environment you like, you'll feel at home with either xfce, lxde, kde, mate or cinammon.
I was by far my worst student. It took me a few hours a day and a month to learn 3.
Since then, it never took me more than 1 hour to teach juggling to someone. The only student who failed was my nephew (he's 4) who got bored after 5 minutes of trying.
I supposed you didn't have a good teacher. Everybody can learn how to juggle.
I agree, but for siteswap numbers higher than 9, we usually use hexadecimal notation : db97531 Otherwise, how do you tell the difference between 13 and 13:D?
Four is a lot harder... I found (and still find) four harder than five, since juggling four in a cascade pattern is basically juggling five but "passing the gap" — making sure that the gap, where the fifth ball should be, is harder for me than actually having that fifth ball in place.
Then don't do that! Why would you learn 55550 before 5 or 4? As you said, it's harder than 5 or 4, but it doesn't help to learn either one. It's also sketchy, and tends to go out of rhythm.
If you want to learn 4, try 441 first. If you really want to juggle 4 balls on a 5 cascade pattern, try 5551. It feels great, its rhythm is stable, it's much easier than 5 but it kinda looks like 5.
As I mentioned in another post, I taught juggling to a few hundreds people. My best students were all women. My best student could juggle "endlessly" after 2 minutes. I couldn't believe it, but she really didn't know how to juggle at first, and I saw the complete usual learning curve in a time span of 2 minutes. I showed her the "Mill's mess" after that, and she managed to do it after 3 tries. It looked sketchy, but it was definitely the right movement and rhythm.
BTW, twenty minutes is longer than my teaching average. I usually begin a session by telling my student that it's only gonna take 10 minutes. They don't believe me at first, but after 10 minutes, they look like children in front of a huge cake.:D
It took me about a month to learn how to juggle with 3 balls. I didn't have a teacher by then, and only saw a guy doing it in the street. The good news is that I did pretty much all the mistakes one can do by learning.:)
In all modesty, I think I became a very good juggling teacher. I taught a few hundred people how to juggle, and it took anywhere from 2 minutes (really) to an hour. Anyone can do it, and you really got to begin with the basics (that is, with one ball, going from L to R and R to L).
I'm blind in one eye, but I managed to flash 8, to shower 6, throw 35 with 7 balls and do some siteswap with 5 balls. It's still a huge pleasure to juggle with 3 balls, and what's interesting is that there is an infinite amount of tricks, and there's always something new to learn. Right now, I'm trying to juggle 3 completely behind my back:D I also like to generate random siteswap patterns, print them and go to the park.
You might want to try Mill's mess. The movement is so beautiful and perfect, it really is a huge pleasure to do it again and again. Another interesting trick is "The box". Take a look at jugglemaster (http://jugglemaster.net/) and begin with the basics.
As for learning 4, I just love 441. It's a great rhythm, and you really get the feel of 4 balls even though it's a moderately easy 3 balls trick.
The way I understand it, removing/home really isn't that problematic to your system. You obviously lose your data, but I'd say that the most sensitive folders are/usr,/bin/var and maybe/etc.
Exactly. This guy could probably find Bible extracts from my/dev/random. Also, they aren't exactly acronyms : He adds words and uses multiple letters (BLIZ) for a single word.
I loved my TI 89 before I left outside one rainy night. qalculate-gtk is my go to calculator on my linux boxes : http://qalculate.sourceforge.net/ Don't let the website design scare you, it's a pretty decent calculator, and handles units very well (e.g. "10kWh to MJ")
Maybe I'm stupid, but I don't understand how a satellite can spin around more than one axis. It might not be the desired axis, it might not be an axis in your coordinate system, but it's still only one axis.
People don't like Unity because its not a highly productive DE
I really like MATE and didn't try Unity for more than 30 seconds. Trying to use Unity as MATE sure isn't productive at all.:D Honest question : can Unity be a highly productive DE when it's used as it should?
Let me guess : the Mossad will "find" engine parts in Teheran, Gaza stripe & Mevaseret Adumim. The obvious answer would be to bomb Iran, to drop white phosphorous bombs and shrapnel bullets against the civilian population of Gaza and create a new settlement in E1.
Given the record of Mossad, Bibi and Liebermann, it might not be such a crazy idea. Problem is, Hamas leaders are just as bonkers.
"A battery as energy dense as gasoline" is called a nuclear reactor. Seriously, there's a lot of research going on for batteries, and we're still 2 orders of magnitude away from gasoline density. What's more, the biggest obstacles aren't engineering ones, but physical ones. Forget it.

31 can be called 13. :D
I think it's called an "excited state", and you need a 3 as introduction and a 1 for the finish
Well, it isn't ready for desktops either! :D

Hasn't Linux been developed with GNU for a long time now? ...
gcc, glibc, bash, coreutils, tar,
There was Opera "between the death of Netscape and the advent of tabbed browsing (and RSS feeds) on Firefox".
