It might be a bit excessive, but I'm pleased each time I hear that someone's held accountable for this deviant and misleading method of "earning" cash.
Wow, that is telling. Is it the deviancy that bothers you, or is it the fact that the advertisements are misleading? Misleading advertisement is a fact of life. You don't see many marketting firms being hauled in to court over false advertisement. Indeed, sometimes they design their advertisements so you don't even know what they're about until the end, if at all. Seems analogous to those "RE: Hello!" spams.
If it's the deviancy that bothers you, uhm, keep in mind that America is supposed to be the land of the free, not the land of homogenized conformists. Maybe the assumption that you're an American is too strong, but the conclusion I can draw about you still stands.
This is pretty obvious. While many people were studying physics while Einstein worked, the mathematical methods they used tended to be relatively primitive. A precocious undergraduate can easily understand the state of physics up to Einstein's first few papers. This is not to say that Einstein wasn't insightful. He certainly was. However, we're now studying the fruits of his insights, and it takes a few years of graduate school to become an expert in even a small field. If there is a next Einstein, I foresee people studying him for years after becoming a Ph.D. before they become "experts."
Thanks for replying. I must disagree with your comments regarding "stupidly long pages." All the functionality of multiple pages can be emulated with fragment URI's. At the same time, using fragment URI's makes searching an article much simpler, since you don't have to wait and load pages between searches. Try searching for "OBJECT element" in the URL I gave you, and imagine how big a pain the same search would be if the document was split up. You could easily even have a mini-TOC like the one at the bottom of the pages between the bigger sections, if you wanted.
Regarding advertising: I don't care one way or the other as long as it doesn't disrupt my flow of reading. Splitting pages up does that, hence the complaint. Privoxy can't do anything against it, either.
Could you point out the printer friendly link on the page on your site you linked to? Some of us would rather just load a long document to read than read one that's been artificially split up just to increase ad revenue.
It is flamebait. I was looking forward to read about the anthropological implications of such a theory, but here I am reading yet another tedious "conversation" about intelligent design.
The proof of the Four Color theorem has been discussed to death in mathematics circles. There are two main objections to the proof:
The proof is too long to be verified by hand. This is a big problem, since we're trained to dissect logical arguments to find flaws. Coders aren't infallible, bugs are inevitable. Did the proof only work in virtue of a bug? A cosmic ray?
The proof is really inelegant. They essentially came up with hundreds of short proofs, instead of abstracting away from concrete maps and dealing with the abstract case. This is along the lines of showing that a group is Abelian by computing every product of elements. It works, but there better ways to do it.
Discrete samples are not an indication of a digital signal.
Actually, that's the defining characteristic of a digital signal. And if I were feeling pedantic, I'd point out that analog signals are a mathematical fiction due to Planck's length. OK, I did it anyway. The point is that the terms are context sensitive, and their application depends on the mathematical model used to describe a phenomenon.
It's been a while since I took Latin, but I think your signature is missing a verb. Probably a present subjunctive infinitive. 'Praeparet' works, rendering:
In my experience with job interviews, I've found that the best advice is to drink two cups of coffee and to pay attention to what the interviewer says. You're there to sell yourself, but it's almost automatic if you're alert and engage the interviewer in a conversation. When you get to the point where they ask if you have any questions, ask for clarification for any points you didn't understand, or ask them about "company procedure" -- you presumably know how to do your job, but there are a ton of details that you could ask about. To whom would you be reporting? What other departments would you be interacting with?

I hope you're being sarcastic. Otherwise you're just an idiot.

Yeah, this guy deserves to have his home taken by the IRS and thrown in jail for the tiny inconvenience he caused you. Now that's justice!
It doesn't? Where did all those heavy metals come from? Where did all that hydrogen come from?
Blah blah blah. People keep talking about religion, but no one has mentioned home-made x-ray machines.
You're missing something: A warranty and support contract.

No. It's Maya.

What's wrong with CSS? You're one of those mouth breathing table elements for layout kind of people, aren't you?
The Flying Spermatozoa Monster disagrees.
What's with all the karma whoring today? No friends to party with?
Bad idea. We do not need tropical storms with rocket propelled grenades or chemical weapons.

You should look into Stokes' Theorem. The FToC generalizes a lot, and Stokes' formula looks just like it.
Great. So do most scientists. Do you have a plausible, testable alternative? No? Then sit down and let the science men do their jobs.

I misread it the same way you did, as if the views presented at the website were unpatriotic or some such bull. The sig is ambiguous at best.
