Its not a big deal, but it completely discredits the reviewer. If the reviewer is so obviously not familiar with the genre, I have little reason to trust his opinion.
It's been years since they stopped wanting my business. It's about times these stores stopped getting special treatment. Customers are overrated anyway.
I would like to point out that the Spanish got jack all for their empire. They blew all the gold and silver they could dig out of the ground on the 16th century of hookers and blow (hookers and soldiers), and then left the colonies to rot. There's a reason Latin America was such a political basket case for the first 150 years following Independence.
The British by comparison just kept sending people to die until they overwhelmed any problems with sheer numbers. That seemed to work much better. Moral: Don't bother with expensive ships or soldiers. Just ship poor dumb hicks who sold themselves into indentured servitude there and wish them luck. They'll figure it out on their own, then we can tax them until they revolt!

No, he's not. There is no way it 'might' be the first, since we all know for a fact that it is not (and this isn't one of those 'facts' like the earth is round, or 'just the tip'). This fact is sitting on my bookshelf.
2. Your post is nonsensical. By your logic anyone who posts a bit set to 1 is in violation of the copyright of Gone With the Wind since that movie has a bit set to 1 and
It is not my logic. It is Congress's logic.
Since you used words in your post that are used in copyright protected works is your post in violation of copyright?
No, because words aren't creative units. But sentences are. However if I were to start sending you words or sentences or pages from a book with the express purpose of helping you acquire the whole book, then yes I would be.
As I said, this is not my logic, it's Congress's logic. The law is borked, yes. We agree on that much.
At my institution, we went for a 3rd part closed source solution because said 3rd party could be relied on for support and also held more responsible for shortcomings than grad student
Typical 'cutting off your nose to spite your face' pointy-haired boss thinking.
Tell me, how well has that 'corporate responsibility' worked out for you? Is it really better than having cheap grad student labor on hand? I doubt it.
Actually the tribe his father is from in Kenya IS oppressed by the majority tribe. One of the tribal leaders quipped about two years ago that America would have a Luo president before Kenya did. He was right.
Because there are usually a ton of variables and long algorythms. It's not usually just x/y. Often, it's more like X(a+b-sqrt(z)(2))/Y(.8(z^2)).
That can only work for people who vote. It's a selection bias or something if I remember right from stats.
It isn't necessarily a selection bias. It can create one, but it doesn't have to. If "people who vote" are representative of netflix customers in general, there is no selection bias. But you are right that selection bias is a concern.
For instance, I don't want to fill out an effing survey everytime I buy a product. I just want the thing in my hands as soon as possible so I can use it. When it's use is up, rentals get returned, disposables get recycled, and Blackbutte porter gets turned into Bud "Lite".
So 1. that means that people have to rent the selection suggested, two actually have watched it when they return it, 3rd vote on how well they liked it. Is it a 1-10 scale? or a yes no?
Come on this is/. I expected at least a little more detail.
Because there's something about having your life on the line. It's like being a kamikaze pilot. Your mind is clear. Other people -- store clerks, burger flippers, software engineers, the whole vocabulary of meaningless jobs that make up Life in America-other people just rely on plain old competition.
Better flip your burgers or debug your subroutines faster and better than your high school classmate two blocks down the strip is flipping or debugging, because we're in competition with those guys, and people notice these things. What a fucking rat race that is. CosaNostra Pizza doesn't have any competition. Competition goes against the Mafia ethic. You don't work harder because you're competing against some identical operation down the street. You work harder because everything is on the line. Your name, your honor, your family, your life. Those burger flippers might have a better life expectancy -- but what kind of life is it anyway, you have to ask yourself. That's why nobody, not even the Nipponese, can move pizzas faster than CosaNostra. The Deliverator is proud to wear the uniform, proud to drive the car, proud to march up the front walks of innumerable Burbclave homes, a grim vision in ninja black, a pizza on his shoulder, red LED digits blazing proud numbers into the night: 12:32 or 15:15 or the occasional 20:43.

Those can get you laid. Although a first date in space might not be a bad idea if that's your goal. How's the hundred mile high club sound?
I can also experience weightlessness by jumping off my roof for free, but the scenery isn't as cool.
Your sig is oddly appropriate.
Very good, you managed to repeat the ending of the summary. Now you can graduate from parrot tasks to rhesus monkey tasks.
Uh...sure if you like. Anathem is a science fiction novel though.
By your logic, I might have a ten foot penis.
Its not a big deal, but it completely discredits the reviewer. If the reviewer is so obviously not familiar with the genre, I have little reason to trust his opinion.
Am I the only one who read Anathem?
You accidentally a word.

Say it with me now: Plane changes are expensive.

Apparently you've never read Dan Brown.

Not that this changes your point at all...

And the cost of buying and running a million actual Windows boxes to avoid the performance penalties of virtualization is simply infeasible.
Damn the cost man, where in the hell would you put them?
I don't guess when it comes to statistics.
Fair enough.
