Brilliant. Double up-vote (if I could) on Musashi's Book of Five Rings.

Thanks. Someone recommended the second book to me before - I mistakenly read "Ender's Shadow" and was mildly disappointed. Will be sure to pick up "Speaker" on your suggestion.

All excellent suggestions. Altho I am unfamiliar w/ Body Language I will check it out. Just working through the Carnegie book now. Also, I believe Code Complete is by Steve McConnnell.

Doesn't seem to be working correctly on my browser then (ff 2, XP). Commenters do not always load correctly and sometimes requires clicking back into one of the links. In the end, I'm not sure I'm seeing what you are seeing.

Whatever the definition of 'social network' I don't think it should include facebook apps and video sites.

Similar commenters mostly appears to be Paul. Why did you choose that criterion?

Fascinating. Were the THI students segregated from the rest of everyone? Sounds like you enjoyed it? Any criticisms? I suppose it doesn't surprise me that a conservative Christian would offer a Western classics program. Still I am sur

It is always good to be challenged with the 'we are in a bubble' postings simply because a bubble can't happen so long as people are willing and able to practically evaluate the functionality of their own technologies. At least, that's wha

Speaking from someone who attended one, it is very easy to go to an Ivy League school and not excel simply because you (and everyone else there) are assumed to excel because you attend one. As a point of a comparison take China. China's

Just checking ;-)

Probably not a very good one - but what do I know I didn't take the course. Btw, I've heard from folks that flip houses that at least some of the workshops are legit.

I also wondered this. Perhaps they like teaching?

I once considered taking an $899 course on currency trading from FXCM.com, so there must be at least some people who think they can teach it and others willing to pay to learn. Also, with other i-banking specialties you need a larger suppl

'Making serious long-term money is rare enough among pros.' Data sources?

Natural language does not have to be ambiguous. Numerous scholastic movements from Plato's Academy to the Confucians have attempted to enable us to speak with greater precision.

So... sorry to be a spoilsport but if (1) The aforementioned class was the one in which you learned the most AND (2) Your teacher told you to read Howard Zinn if you wanted to learn something IMPLYING (2') Your teacher didn't think you w

Fair enough. My skepticism was directed towards 'World Culture' classes that don't teach anything about the world and the stereotypical American that can't find his own country on a map. I doubt there was anything fishy about Dr. Shultz's

Define 'best' in the construction 'best social studies class'? Learned the most? Most fun? Coolest teacher?

by Jd 19y ago
Fine. I also agree.

by Jd 19y ago
As a matter of fact, I have watched "On the Waterfront." I am not sure what I am not supposed to be skeptical about. That it is about 'World Culture'? Please...

by Jd 19y ago
Wow, movies on the Wild West are definitely what kids from Western Pennsylvania need to be learning about in a "World Cultures" class. What else did you watch? Riddle me skeptical.

Don't like Sunzi? Try the Book of Five Rings.

I dunno my RA was pretty cool the one summer I did it. Any disciplinary actions taken were definitely deserved.

Depends. I'd prefer to have an OS that the end-user can use easily so that fixes are less frequent. However, if the payoff is sex then perhaps I would reconsider.

I don't think I think a core critique of 37S should be because they are 'opinionated,' but rather because they are spread too thin. Would be better to focus on fewer webapps and respond better to customer interest. I'm sure I'm not alone

This is another semi-misleading title. The article points out that Ubuntu on Dell, as with all versions of Linux, is still not ready for the mass market. However, as the readers of this site are not "average" computer users the "too rough

Yeah, I agree with your interpretation. Read it multiple times myself.

I agree, although if you could login to multiple accounts simultaneously this might solve the problem.

Yahoo! Mail is both slower and uglier than Gmail. It also forces you to a nasty ad page when you login. Other than that, not bad. I say this having both open on other firefox tabs.
