More like, Slashdot has jumped the shark. Who the fuck cares what Oprah thinks? Is a blog post about Opera's ratings "news for nerds" now? If so, I'm turning in my N-card.
Actually, no. Driving with traction control on in the snow can be very dangerous. In my Thunderbird, at the very least, it tended to almost entirely prevent the car from turning while accelerating / maintaining speed -- it flutters the brakes to keep both sides going the same speed... and fluttering the brakes on snow/ice is just as smart as stomping on them. Just about creamed a busload of kids once, thanks to this lovely "feature". Took me a while to figure out what was causing the erratic behavior, but once I did, it was very easy to reproduce in a controlled environment (snow-covered parking lot with no kids to endanger).
Agreed. What bothers me, is they only seem worried about their trademark -- so why don't they just put the little ^{TM} by the logo? Do you have to sign a license agreement when you buy a can of Coke? What's the difference here? Oh, the software license? That's easy -- just put it in Help/About. No need for a click-through. This is just garbage.
Well, it *does* have more uses than just porn. Currently, I use Opera to log into my bank accounts. At the end of every Opera session, I clear all private data. Keeps me safe from cross-site scripting.
It would be nice to be able to "firewall" cookies into a single tab. For example, I like to see when I get a message in gmail, but I don't like google linking my search history to my email account.
Nope. I've done both (I dropped out of web development to go to school, now I'm working towards a PhD in math). Math people *need* to care about memory access, cache sizes, etc., because for us, big-oh doesn't mean a damned thing if the constants are large. Mathematical programming is trial by fire compared to the warm, soft bosom of web development. Bad programmers have their place in the math world, too (that is to say, we see lots of them). But nobody uses their software, if they even bother to release it. And hopefully, if they make conclusions based on a program they wrote, somebody double-checks it.:)
Good idea. Take two companies that can't pay the bills, and put them together. After a merger, all the suits stay, and they can half of the rest of the employees because they're redundant. So you get one company with twice the fat... and they'll be able to pay the bills *better* than the old companies?
Oh, it's quite simple, really. You compute the differential of the volume of the result of the theorem with respect to its assumptions, and integrate in the direction that maximizes the volume. Voila, an expanded theorem. It's hard to see why so many people just don't seem to get math.
The field of rational numbers is purely real. So the "line Re(s) = 1/2" is really a point.
So what are you talking about? Q(i)? That's a field over which zeta has nontrivial roots, yes. There are plenty of prime ideals in Z, is that what you meant?
Oops, just RTFA'd. They didn't show that paper was as strong as paper. They made paper twice as strong as old "high strength" paper. Which still has very, very little tensile strength. Comparing to cast iron really doesn't help their case.
But... cast iron has the tensile strength on the order of concrete. Which is to say, not much at all. Good job guys, you've shown that paper is about as strong as... paper! How did this get published?
Oh, back in my day, all n00bs got was a couple of rags on their feet, and a needle! And we slayed dragons with that damned needle! You kids, all you do is walk around with your +100 Brobdignagian Axe of Sundering, and talk about how impressive it is that you beat up on Minor Slimes! And the dragons were tougher in those days too...

Wow. This looks *nice*! Thanks! Kick PSTricks to curb! (xymatrix stays, though)
"Oops. I broke it." -- Godel
Kick XFig to the curb, and learn PSTricks. Or, if you're doing algebra, use XYMatrix.

It was an alien lander, you insensitive clod! Very small aliens.

Use a straw?

Don't worry. They'll be back for Takover of Take Two, Take Two. In fact, they had to give up once, for precisely that.
Or buying a secret wife and hiding it from your girlfriend?

Clearly. In the days of the internet, we tend to write the FAQ first.

If you actually read the HTML5 spec (as linked), it contains references to the Vorbis and Theora formats. What's with the FUD?
It realized that it was lame, and filtered itself out.
In meme repetition, soviet russias YOU!
A tripe spouting loon? That sounds like a very tasty dish. What ethnicity eats such a thing, and where's their nearest restaurant?

Impressively, your post shows up first on that google-search. Unfortunately, your cyclic reasoning will not work on me.
