Yeah I used to spend days playing whatever new game I was into, until I realized that I was spending hours just to flip a few bits in a memory card somewhere. It wasn't even an important memory card, just the one in my cartridge. Pointless.
A square and the surface of a sphere, for example, are not homeomorphic since the square has edges and the sphere doesn't, so the mapping function has to jump somewhere, making it not continuous.
Sounds a lot like a map using Mercator projection.
"Simpler" 'Hello World'? SIMPLER? Perhaps in the sense of using less bytes, but the article is well beyond your average first year comp sci student so it's certainly not simpler in the sense of being understandable.
This is what I call "Occam's Wedge", what's simple to you and simple to me may be entirely different leading to a wedge in our argument with both sides insisting Occam is on their side.
If you take a close look at the first image from the documentary you'll notice at the far left end of the row HRG is being trained.
Since Scientology trains one to hone their intellect and seemingly gives non-mutants amazing abilities... this could explain how Claire's father is able to fight so effectively against those with abilities far beyond his own.
That sounds like what the kid in "What's Eating Gilbert Grape" had. I think in the movie he was called "retarded" but he really acted like he had something else entirely. I'm gonna have to read up on the different types of autism.
Are you aware that randomly generating a specific protein is much more difficult than that? I've heard a number around 1 in 10^113. That would be just ONE of the proteins we need for life.
So. Either it needs to be rethought what is actually numerically possible, or that the genetic make-up of life was guided by chance.
I don't know if it's still published but when I was a kid I found an old CarToons magazine which was sort of like MAD Magazine but full of cars.
There was one story with this style vehicle in it, basically the whole world was a mesh of interconnected freeways. There were no more buildings, everyone was constantly mobile. The family home was sort of like an RV with several pod cars that would pop out when the kids wanted to go out. You'd pull up to a McDonald's, pay at the window and get you junk food all without stopping. When couple's would date they'd connect their pods and make out. Off the roads it was a bit like Logan's Run with nature being "contaminated" and deadly. So the plot is that 2 kids are making out, run their pods off the road. After get lost in the forest they run out of gas and have to walk around. They discover fruits and vegetables, live like hippies for a while and love it. Then the feds track them down and forcefully reintroduce them to society (Clockwork Orange style).
It was a nice magazine... excuse me while I go get a Big Mac.
Virtual machines really eliminate a lot of those concerns. But what we really have to worry about is silent bit rot. I've found a few old files of mine that are corrupted. Not cool. ZFS and drobos... I don't really see a good end-user ready backup system that verifies data integrity.
Dude... I'm in the 3rd world, there's pirate movies on every corner and LOTS of old classics people have never heard of. I actually have several friends who've never seen Star Wars and I'm gonna have a party with them all over for it. I'd say there's hundreds of millions if not over a billion who've just never even heard of the thing. Inuit man! INUIT!!

That was clearly a feral oompa-loompa, NOT a munchkin. Completely different man.
Watch out for ANSI Bombs! :)
Peter is lucky he isn't deaf. That could have ended a LOT worse.

First thing I made when I got my tablesaw! Closest my fingers got was while making the pushstick, after that... never again.
But *I* googled how to use a tablesaw.
That guy...
What a maroon.

When are bosses going to learn to stop taking away their gruntles??

Just like it's maker if he made contracts with the wrong people.

Mental OWNAGE. No wonder he's so awesome.
Beautiful Code - Chapter 28 "Automated Debugging"
Why aren't we all using that eh? Incredible stuff, data-mining CVS commits and nailing the exact line that causes the bugs.
Beautiful Code indeed.

Hypocondriacs of the world REJOICE!!
Maybe the next Civ will remove culture then we can all get along as one big happy family. Right?

Watch out for that term. You used it correctly but if you say "Tar-baby" on TV they'll call you a racist. http://www.time.com/time/nation/article/0,8599,1221764,00.html
So you get all your scheduling data free with MythTV? Forever?
I forgot to mention the People Who Reply to Their Own Posts registry.
Also reported was the decision not to make a mass-emailer's registry. Since they self-announce the list was deemed redundant and scrapped.
However THE PEOPLE WHO ALWAYS TYPE IN CAPS registry will continue as planned.
:)
Thanks for the Road Warrior flashback.
That's the Third Estate you're talking about.

I wish he was 20 years younger like in Cuckoo's Nest and played Cletus Cassidy. Perfect role for him.
