If you consider a normal, healthy diet as "eat out of fast food restaurants and freezer cases," then sleeping problems are probably not what you should focus on first.

Well, maybe that's exactly why they ask that question: http://hebig.org/blog/003029.php Sometimes, doing your own reasoning on a "smart" question leads to new ideas. Just ask Galileo.

Perfect timing. I was looking through books for my younger brother, who wants to be a game developer, and this will serve well as a Christmas gift. Seeing as this book's dimension isn't ISO 216-standard and I want to support the local print

For CLisp on Windows, one should also put the DLL-files from Base/Full within same directory. For base-users, this means libiconv-2.dll, libintl-8.dll and readline5.dll. For Full, this means zlib1.dll (if you're using it), pcre.dll and svm.

So, from a computer scientists point of view, you could say that the nil-nil philosophy is the greedy algorithm applied on yourself?

I like the graph-way of dividing by 7. It's not intuitive and it's not easy to remember, but at least it looks cool. http://imgur.com/wCE6z.png Start at 0. Read the number left to right, and for each digit D, go D black edges. Whenever mo

Whenever I'm home, I usually drink milk: Something about milk makes it way better than water when I'm home. At times when I'm hacking up something during nighttime, a large cup of black tea and milk. Not the usual hacker-coke/coffee, but it

Not so math-y ? Topology? Models of life? The Mathematics of Chance? For someone not knowing mathematics, topology would probably sound rather weird. But people should know that mathematics is used to model real-life events: How would M

This brings up a somewhat more scary discussion: It's more efficient to be a cybernetic organism than a gene-modified human with genes from plants. If I get this correct, this (cited) Wikipedia-article says that solar cells with a 0.01 m^2

My first claim was rather weak: It was just from my own knowledge and experience with Swedish police and the lack of news regarding corruption with them involved. If a Google search says otherwise, then I must have missed those corruption-c

Just for people questioning whether this is a dirty trick or not: 1) From what I know, there hasn't been any mentionable cases where the Swedish police has been either bribed or done something questionable. At least not in recent time. 2) T
