My piano teacher would demand that I practice each piece 'until my hands knew it'. I don't think she had any particular insight into monkeys, wrenches or the "F" areas of the brain; but TFA seems to superficially bolster her instinct. Or vise-a-versa.
Later, learning to improvise seemed impossible until my hands 'knew' a catalog of idioms that could be readily applied and adapted opportunistically. Once the catalog reached a critical mass, improvisation became natural.
Looking back, it seemed that programming followed a similar pattern. Maybe we can rewrite the rules: 1. Learn by Rote. 2. Accumulate. 3. Profit! or maybe its the weed....
cool. When a bell rang, did you suddenly feel hungry? If there was no bell, did you feel like you were somehow missing out on something beyond your grasp?
From Genesis (the book, not the band): 'God creates light; the "firmament" separating "the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament;'.
'The waters which were under the firmament' are obviously what is now being discovered by these scientists and there instruments of Satan.
I don't expect many think it is real. I just wonder if it is a very obvious scam, or some sort of performance art demonstrating the foolishness of the industry.
Wouldn't it be more pretentious to use an even less lively language, aramaic perhaps? If somebody is confused by the expression "18 times the mass of the sun", they need to spend more time outdoors, among the living.
Isn't it more like 32.7% telling 67.3%? Involvement is the biggest failing of many democracies. Unsurprisingly, low turnout suits the established parties and their petty criminals. Increase the turnout, and you may get flighty parties and higher grade criminals:)
It looks like McAfee is managing expectations through filings. Expectation - that there is value to McAfee products on non-windows platforms. Reality - it solves a windows created problem and has no value elsewhere. Sell, they are hiding something.
As a consultant, I take exception with what you say. You are right, but I've found that the more people 'program by prayer', the more money I make. Please, think of my kids education and keep it to yourself.
Canada isn't a stranger to UN censure for its treatment of natives. If the Lubicon has to rely on Pakistan, Venezuela, Sudan, Syria, Afghanistan, Belarus to champion its issues, how much sadder it is for Canadians.
But this has drifted way off topic.....
ps "Belligerent polish guy"- very nice, you must be proud.
I don't advocate the censure of Canada; but the issue seemed to have been Canada's treatment of natives and immigrants. Given that the poor fellow that was administered an improvised electro shock therapy by Canadian officials was a Polish immigrant; the motion to censure mightn't be so much of a stretch.
That such a motion 'nearly passed' says more about the decline of the status of Canada than about the UN.

sounds eerily like yesterdays article about the world getting soft in the middle.
at the risk of getting pounded over another joke.....
Wikipedia isn't penned by God?
I thought all biblical transcriptions were guided by Gods hand so no such mangling could occur?

> Uh, doesn't that apply to all other animals too? There's a reason, say, flying squirrels don't run around humping anything at random
Do you remember high school? I knew guys that would hump anything, including flying squirrels. We called them football players.
It may be bait - make this announcement and wait for intel+microsoft to rescue them in a display of patriotic fervour.
Would you like a sense of humour for Christmas?
interesting; maybe darwin had it backwards?
yeah, well I don't even post in blogs.

The article had too many confusing words in it, but I'm pretty sure I saw the FSM in the pretty slide. What will he think of next...
... new component to public discourse ... well 'new' if you are a few centuries old; otherwise, same old...
"Bastards! Lying, stealing, cheating Bastards! Morally bankrupt and without a shred of decency, BASTARDS!"
they consider this flattery. Don't waste your breath.
I disagree - 'not getting it' is as slashdot as, well, / and .
I hear you. I never trust anything I read, or for that matter say, on a blog...
