  2. Uh... because computers only have a finite number on Why Computers Suck At Math · · Score: 1

    Not This Shit Again.

  7. The Feynman Lectures... on Good Physics Books For a Math PhD Student? · · Score: 1

    are of course a natural first place. For textbooks, it really doesn't matter all that much. At the level of generality you're operating in, textbooks are textbooks.

    "fully correct, formal, axiomatized mathematics" (facepalm)

    "The new management could take the axe to Microsoft's $6.6bn of wasteful research and development expenditure." R&D wasteful. That's the stupidest thing I've heard today. And I work with retarded kids. (No I don't really - it just gets the point across.)

  16. My GOD the author is an effin IDIOT! on Physicists Find Users Uninterested After 36 Hours · · Score: 1

    Sheesh. Must be American - god we're a stupid, stupid country. And I quote: "If you think you're reading the news, be warned that this story -- and any other on the web -- will be barely read by anyone 36 hours after it was first posted." Oh wow! How exciting! Hardly anyone reads a story 36 hours after it's posted. "Barabasi's team calculated the "half-life" of a news document, which corresponds to the period in which half of all visitors that eventually access it have visited." Huh? Fully HALF the readers of the story come after 36 hours???? Belle Dumé must be yet another child that was left behind.
