Yeah, the other abrahamic zealots just poison girls who dare to get an education, or spit on girls walking to school and beat women for not sitting at the back of the bus. Don't think these kinds of problems don't occur in other religions (have you tried talking to a fundamentalist jew or muslim about evolution? Some of them make the christian creationists sound sensible by comparison). Just be thankful the christian church no longer has the power to burn you at the stake, and keep fighting against anyone(whether religious or not) who tries to force dogma on people, or protect an idea from exposure to criticism.
It's dual purpose..and bankers have so much power these days you can just about consider them politicians.
Mosquitoes I got no good solution for, but they're not as bad as the other two, so maybe you'll be able to tolerate it after that.
I meant trig tables.
Also I would be interested to hear a rebuttal rather than simply 'I disagree'. Perhaps the multiplication example was a bad one as it wouldn't hold you back much with, but I know how hard it is to follow an EM textbook written in component form (I managed to grab one written just after the turn of the last century).
I'd imagine trying to understand exponentiation, or differential equations using greek numeral notation or without any explicit concept of e or logarithms (you can still solve x' = x using series) would be similarly difficult and cause the same sort of difficulties that special functions (erf, bessel functions etc) cause (or worse) for many contemporary students.
There's also the fact that teaching methods and notation are technologies and improve over time.
Try doing complex EM calculations purely in component form some time, or do your taxes in roman numerals or ancient greek notation -- or without 0.
If you had to spend a lot of time learning how to use trig tables for multiplication I'd wager you would have much more trouble/less time for learning algebra.
This is not actually true anymore. Under the new ALLURBASE law pushed through congress in the last 15 seconds you now owe Sony $15,000,000,000,000 for disseminating a fact without paying their license fee.
It's clean, elegant. Has consistent, well thought out syntax, is easy to debug (PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_PAAMAYIM_NEKUDOTAYIM) and is secure by default.
Because you produce more heat per cubic metre than the star but less than the candle?
Or because you produce more heat total than the candle but less than the star?
Clearly he's stealing revenue from the big publishers. Every game someone acquires or plays is a potential $80 for them, and by allowing someone to play a game without giving the publishers $80, he is TAKING THEIR MONEY.
Don't give him ideas. We have to be careful about mentioning insane and stupid ways of ruining our childhood memories.
If we're not careful, he'll do something like reboot the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles with the premise that they are aliens.

You underestimate my ability to forget usernames/passwords and lurk for years. :)
So if you see a copyrighted work without a licence...you assume you can do these things?
People "shout" RTFA when they have read the article
You must be new here.
always notice the mistake after hitting submit: 'hold you back much with basic algebra as you could use small/integer coefficients'

Nine lines of java is about 1 bit of entropy, isn't it?

UUID goes up, intelligence goes down.
You can't explain that.
Sunspots go up, sunspots go down..
You can't explain that.
I think that's exactly what LanMan04 meant.
Or are you the type of person who takes apart old Pentium IV machines and tries to make a space heater out of it?
You're right, why would one pull apart a Pentium IV machine to make a space heater when it's already a space heater?

Like many other things blind people do, just put it away the right way up and be careful with it.

The multi window paradigm is popular among all the major operating systems in use on Vloxtar, don't be so small minded.
I find having it list slowly to the left is actually quite good for drawing curves once you get used to it.

Why isn't global productivity grinding to a halt?

I hope they plundered and/or ravished the soil samples.

Exactly.
And this is why GP should eat some more dog liver and kidneys.
