I mean no disrespect to the researchers involved here, however this seems an appropriate topic for this question.
I occasionally see algorithms used to predict future outcomes of a system where the algorithm appears to have been manipulated to fit the data rather than actually attempt to model the system in question. A prime example is one where the "novelty" of the universe is plotted over time and spikes appear in correlation with historic events. My question: Is there a specific term to describe this type of shenanigans?
Indeed, imagine how much further Maths and Physics could have been pushed if Isaac Newton hadn't spent so much energy pursuing Alchemy (unless he wouldn't have had the same insights otherwise?).
Any way you slice it, this is bad news for masochists. I don't know, I would have thought there would be some masochists that would welcome a bit of slicing.
(I don't think chili is an opiate though? Never heard that before, nor has wikipædia, AFAICT). If you re-read the GP post you will see that some physicians were recommending adding it to drugs as a deterrent to people taking them in ways they don't want them too (e.g. snorting, injecting) like a kind of DRM (without the D).

While I agree that this guy does seem like an arse, I have a thought experiment: What if someone were to make up a story like "I found out that John Howard was taking bribes from George Bush to influence Australian lawmaking -- but when I blogged about it, the AFP had my webhost pull my blog!"? They could manipulate this phenomenon to spread misinformation and people would end up believing it.
It's not an addiction, it's a preference. And I prefer to smoke and drink caffeine, JK.
I agree, to each their own. I like the interweb and to tinker and program, I also like to travel around the world; I'm also married w/ children and have a mortgage -- all of these things are manageable (hope you like juggling).
Not directly to parent but in general my advice to those that don't know how to fund their lifestyle:
Buy a property in an area you can afford -- This does not have to be near you
Rent it out
Wait until you get a capital gain (preferably also until you can get a capital gains tax concession -- 12 months in.au YMMV.
N.B. that's 12 months from contract exchange, try to get a delayed settlement)
Sell (profit)
Goto 1.
So far this has met with <quote style="voice: Borat;">great success</quote>.
But what about the heat? It's quite difficult to cool off lump of metal in a vacuum without discarding hot material to do so. Even if you could feasibly power a craft to Mars with this, how would you stop yourself from arriving as Astronaut McNuggets? Well we could start a (not so) fast food delivery service for Martians; fresh Human McNuggets, delivered to your door within 1 Week or your money back.
The health issuses are almost exclusively about dosage control and dosage methods and don't even get into the issue of whether a person has a right to control their own perception of euphoria. People don't control their perception of euphoria, their perception of euphoria controls them. O.K. so make it an issue of whether a person has a right to be controlled by their perception of euphoria.
Which is good advice, but it's going to be obvious that you did this from poking around in the filesystem; "How did you break a key (or whatever) when you've never used this thing?"
if you follow that link you'll see that the "is this site using PHP?" test fails on the Ruby On Rails website now, so apparently they're not using PHP anymore Or they just set expose_php=off in their environment.
[The ABC] really is the last bastion of quality television journalism in this country. I'm not sure about the quality of the journalism but SBS World News is OK too.
I'm sure you're not saying that the reason billions are spent on advertising is that advertisement media producers are just really good salespeople, but that's how it sounds. I understand what you're saying but ad agencies do have some of the worlds best marketers.

I've always thought that the only prerequisite for having one's political rights recognized, is the act of demanding exactly that. #include <stdio.h> int main ( ) {
printf ( "I demand that my political rights are recognized!\n" );
return 0; }
The human mind congeals around age 30... So mind's younger than that are still at a pudding-like consistency? If you watch Anatomy for Beginners you can see a demonstration that (healthy) Brains are at a pudding-like consistency.

think about how you'd value the following if modern civilization were to collapse - potable water, food, matches, ammunition, tobacco, liquor, coffee, paper, gold. Sounds great, where do I sign up.

And with no rotation whatsoever XO looks like the emoticon for Cartman. Makes a perfect reaction to XP.
But, but XO XP; should have made it XQ

Yeah, I'm with the AC, although it's spelled arse where I'm from.

There's always a different, random Futurama quote in an X-Fry: or X-Bender: header. (Bender|Fry|Leela)
A large, clear, well-defined target is always appreciated.

Hell, even the Ruby, and Ruby on Rails site http://shiflett.org/blog/2006/feb/php-easter-eggs> need PHP in order to scale

They're only including days (?:Shaver|someone)+ gets laid, so they can delay indefinitely if they can hold out that long.
We can't get Real Dew here in .au,
