Oh, excuse me, her brain. I was speaking metaphorically anyway.
I love these recent studies about the genetic and personality differences between Rs and Ds. Of course, there are some nature~nurture, urban~rural, and educated~uneducated arguments too, but the brain has duality built into it, and some people think more emotionally, and some people think more rationally. We all do both, all the time, but some people are more one-sided than others. Mutants. Strongly opinionated.
Did you see Linus talk about git? He should have been wearing a t-shirt that says "your code sucks,
you're ugly, and you're stupid."
That's right. Why did the user lose the file? Maybe it would be good for the user to learn how to remember filenames, or what a folder is, or otherwise how to use the tools required for work.
The system can process 27 meters in 1 second? Not good enough!! 60 miles per hour IS 27 meters per second.
A robust real time control system needs to be at least twice as fast as this.
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (as google will tell you).
Banks buy insurance against loss.
The question is, will, for example, Google, buy insurance in case of data loss?
Now of course, when your money is lost, the insurance will replace it with money.
When data is lost, replacing it with money won't exactly help. But still, I think
I would rather save all my email and other data with a service that promised to
give me money in the event of data loss. (This would of course create the possibility
of "data arson" where you hire somebody to take down a server and wipe their data so that you can collect.)
too bad they didn't say which kanji. shiretoko could be shireitoko, the place of a ghost. or it could be command place. shiretto-ko would be the little one who doesn't care. shiiretoko could also mean the buying up place... japanese has so many homonyms
Forward error correction using vandermode matrices does this quite nicely. There are N-K codes that allow K blocks to be encoded in N blocks (N>K) so that any K of the N can be used to decode. Thus you can loose N-K blocks. For blocks, read tracks, or sectors, or whatever unit is typically lost in a media failure.
All you have to do is look at Japanese porn, and see what it's doing to Japanese men. They're mostly crazy when it comes to knowing how to treat a woman. Of course, this would be less of an issue here and there, if we had better sex education in the schools and in the homes.
The main cause of those trouble tickets is spam. If spam didn't exist email would be cake to do. As it is, spam is difficult to deal with, and the larger, more central sites can do a much more effective job of dealing with it. Of course some people prefer to deal with it themselves. Do you?
MOND is KAKA. General Relativity is already the best theory. Using Newton's equations to describe anything other than a high-school physics experiment is a waste of time. If you use GR to model the rotation of a galaxy you get the observed rotation; dark matter is epicycles, created because Newton's equations don't work. The original calculations of galactic rotation used Newton's equations, and attempted to fix the problem by postulating dark matter. WRONG. WRONG. WRONG.
Dark matter is the same as epicycles. It's total garbage. The original calculations of galactic rotation used _Newton's_ equations! That is why they came up with answers at odds with observation. They completely ignored General Relativity, the accepted law of gravitation. This has been pointed out many times. Dark matter doesn't exist.
Wow, a PERL GUI? Think fighter-pilot cockpit: fifty buttons and dials, each marked with an arcane function name. It's probably really powerful, if you could only figure out how to use it.
MATLAB isn't worth cloning; MATLAB sucks
Yeah, my favorite line is that Octave is crap trying to imitate shit.
I use Python/numpy for all new development. Much nicer.
Still, they've put a lot of effort into Octave, and it really helps supporting old.m files.
It's way easier to interface to stuff, it's scriptable, it doesn't fail halfway through because
some guy down the hall snarfed one of the licences you need (yes that really happens with matlab), and it's just better.
The standard line is that Octave is as compatible with Matlab as Matlab is with itself. Every new release of Matlab breaks something. Porting your code to Octave is similar. But Octave fixes some of the brain damage in Matlab's horrible syntax, making it easier to write cleaner code. And they also fixed a lot of the weirdness surrounding the whole 'one function per file' thing. In Octave, you can not only write complex programs in a single file, you can make them executable scripts!
Octave actually fixes a lot of the brain damage in Matlab. If you (like me) are forced to work with old matlab codes, then it's actually nice to be able to write in a "cleaner" syntax. Not to mention that it works on my laptop at home for free.

You're talking about the Flying Spaghetti Monster, right?
OK, so there are other reasons for our presence there. Are they economically justifiable?

Well, we could stop spending so much public money killing brown people.
I guess that political candidate has some mutations in his brain also.

Star Trek invented the flip phone in the '60s, too. Not to mention the stun gun, the replicator, matter transport, and FTL. :-)

I thought the first person to translate the Bible into English was burned at the stake as a heretic.

y'all can argue about it all you want. meanwhile the chinese are going to BE there, digging, mining, building factories and habitats.
Yeah, F8 is a real deprovement over F7. I switched to xubuntu.
Nope, it's not. And it's a stupid practice, the way some people try to define it.
"What are you doing?"
"I'm refactoring code."
"Oh, you aren't doing anything."
Don't be so reactionary. They won't put you in jail. It doesn't matter whether you want a number or not. You are number 6.
