Some adults do. I was bullied in elementary school, my parents' relationship seemed barely functional, and I'm pretty nerdy - I basically distrusted most humans until college (at which point my atrophied social skills had me believing I was autistic for a while) and I only started dating in grad school. I think I've made pretty rapid progress since, but needless to say I've made tons of rookie mistakes in the process.
The ANC - many of whom were imprisoned for fighting against Apartheid and speaking out in favor of equal rights - they're the ones in power now, and they're the ones responsible for passing this law. So yes, it is surprising. I'm not sure what ideological connection you're drawing here - the only thing the ANC has in common with the old Apartheid government is that they're both subject to human weaknesses like political corruption.
Saying "oh of course South Africa doesn't respect human rights, just look at how the Apartheid government behaved" is like saying "oh of course the USA doesn't respect human rights, just look at how the King behaved when it was part of the British Empire."
Oh and another example of how literary analysis should be done: tvtropes.org. Fascinating website, I could spend days on it. And yet, I absolutely hated literary analysis in highschool.
Real literary analysis shouldn't be about bullshit, it should be about understanding the context in which things are written. For example, the Annotated Pratchett website gives tons of information regarding the obscure references Sir Terry makes, which I'd never have figured out on my own.
And I'd venture to say that (for Pratchett fans at least) it's incredibly interesting stuff. Much more interesting than vague personal interpretations.
That looks like an arbitrage opportunity. Why don't you set up an import business that buys in the US, drives them over the border and sells them in Canada?
Or is the difference in price mostly due to Canadian import taxes?
Believe me, my first 2-3 years of university were boring because I was self taught from the age of 14. It wasn't until the 400 series classes that things got interesting and new (and fun!)
That's why I ended up doing my B.S. in math and statistics instead of C.S. I'm still not sure that was the right decision in terms of impressing HR people afterward, but at least most of the stuff I learned was new to me, not to mention useful for areas like machine learning which straddle C.S. and stat.
Alternatively, aim for a society where your future employers have as much dirty laundry on the internet as you do. This gets easier with constant surveillance.
Let those without sin throw the first stone, etc...
Bingo. Much as I like R, the language leaves a lot to be desired compared to Python - it doesn't even have a built in dictionary type.
For a fully integrated package including Python and R, SAGE is worth a look.
To be fair, they did add tons of their own code on top of it. Just like you can add code to a BSD project and relicense your fork under GPL. (It's hilariously ironic when BSD fanbois complain about the latter though.)
The reason I still care about soundfonts is that I sometimes write music for fun. I don't have any of the expensive VSTs, and some of the cheaper VSTs (like Garritan Pocket Orchestra) frankly sound worse than a good free soundfont.
Otherwise MIDI files are mostly a nostalgia thing - although they can be useful as a format for moving data between different music programs. E.g. Cakewalk to MuseScore.
Glad it works for you! And yes, SynthFont is meant for more than just playing, it can render to wave/mp3 etc.
I haven't tried it myself yet, but I just found this guide to using Timidity++ driver in Windows, which should allow you to use soundfonts with your normal midi player (e.g. Windows Media Player):

Ah, the old rebate-and-switch.
Adults already know and play the mind games

Doesn't that first require finding someone of the opposite sex? As a gamer, this step confuses me.
They are hazardous. That's why you're not allowed to bury grandpa in your back yard.
That made me make the funny sound from my chest.

But you have to harvest a ton of those tiny buggers to get any decent amount of helium.

I hereby proclaim this to be Sasayaki's law.
Sorry, but Muphry already took it.
Instead, Sasayaki's law could refer to incidences where one names a law after oneself only to find that it already has a name.
That's even worse! Your children will see it.

There's still potential for awkwardness - they might prove it's undecidable.
Randy George is quite the thereminer ... thereminist ... theremin player.

Both licenses have their place.

Dubai has a western like culture and is very tolerant of westerners.
That's the kind of misconception that gets you arrested for kissing in public.

I used to post on those forums years ago :)
