Someone should put this online as a service and allow things like batch processing. I'd pay for that.

When I first used networked computers, you paid someone to do searches for you and got a reply in 3 to 7 days. It pretty much sucked, honestly. Translation was obscenely expensive and not much better than Google can do today. You paid by th

I check every couple of years and both Gopher and Usenet lumber on.

Browsing vs. searching. We don't seem to do much browsing anymore. We search and selectively pick what we consume. It's faster but, as you say, I don't think it is as fun. I used to enjoy picking a subject and then clicking a

It's a philosophical work about leavers and takers and what is the nature of both nature and humans, as well as their role in it. It's told from the perspective of a man taking instruction from a speaking ape. It is something I&#x

If you ever get the chance, I recommend the book Ishmael, by Daniel Quinn.

Do you have any more info on the restaurants per capita? Google isn't very helpful. I ask only out of mild interest. The village closest to me has ~30 and just 1200 residents. However, it's a tourist town and there are zero franch

As a fellow alum, you summed it up nicely. I did my full eight years there, so I can't compare. But, what mattered to me was that I was always encouraged to question, always encouraged to excel, and always allowed to discover. I think

Thanks. I actually have a Ph.D. in mathematics. It's just that I dislike programming. I've done it, I don't like it. When I started using computers, knowing how to program was close to mandatory.

I have mine in my email address book. It works like it has for a number of decades, more or less.

The Art of Computer Programming. I have a boxed set sitting on my shelf, I'm told it is worth reading but I can't seem to find the time and motivation.

I think I see the confusion. The post they first replied to said that, quite specifically. You were not that poster, however.

I'm kind of fond of the idea of people paying a percentage of their income after they get their degree and for X number of years. I think that's a fantastic idea. For needed professions, it could be X - Y number of years. Inexpens

Union carpenters can make pretty good money, actually. Once you get some seniority, the rate improves nicely. Finish carpenters make pretty good wages. They average $76,000/year, which is not that bad depending on where you live. You c

The above should count as tax avoidance and interest rates can be decided by the parties involved. Tax evasion is illegal. Tax avoidance is legal. Consult a qualified tax professional and legal council.

It is also possible that he never realized the gain. An example would be to gift the shares directly to a trust which sells and then 'loans' BO the money. Tada! You made a billion dollars disappear. That is, I believe, lawful. Con

It's a very subjective thing, really. I actually like my Windows phone, it's the only Windows I have. Someone above concluded they are a product company and I was thinking 'appliance.' That's not a negative, they ma

This whole story sounds horrifically dangerous and unlikely to be approved of with regards to zoning and building inspectors. By that, I mean I'm a tad bit green with envy.

I think you'll find the sarcophagus is there because it is too large to be stolen. As I recall, we've never even found human remains in the pyramids themselves.

To state the obvious, because it's a billion dollars and the defendant isn't from south of the border. Not condoning it, just suggesting that's the real reason why.

I am now curious as to what your response was?

Can you get away with carrying no phone? If you can, it is a weight lifted off my shoulders and might be the same for you. My time belongs to me. I'll see the missed call message and call you back when I have time. It's hard to d

If you scroll down, you'll find an answer where it appears that math broke their brain and they left to go start a restaurant and then did other things like computer graphics. The math department is home to some tragically spectacular

I believe the adage is, 'Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.' The Internet is full of terrible things. There's a site that keeps track of spree killing totals and celebrates new high scores. Well, there was. I'm not su

'One word' seems almost a little unfair. Many words convey complex things that are expressed using a single word. Point still remains, but it still seems a wee bit unfair.

Yeah, it's much easier to find someone you can accept than it is to try to mold someone to your liking. In fact, I would submit that it says quite a bit about the person for attempting that level of control. I am not innocent. It'

I believe making munitions is also quite profitable. You might be on to something.
