Feel free to use the technique. I only hope that you'll also call it shameMap, because it's funny.

I agree (with pedantic caveats not worth mentioning) with everything you've listed, unless you're using the regex view of what whitespace is and think the \t character is a bad delimiter, well then, that's where I draw the li

Forgive me, I'm ignorant -- what's erlang for. "Concurrent applications" is the raison d'etre I see espoused. What's that mean? Does it make concurrent applications easier to write? Does it make it easier to us

JMBullion, ampex, sdbullion are the obvious answers. I tend to like pawing through inventory in person. I live next to Meierotto Jeweler's, I like going there because it reminds me how poor I am, and they generally let me paw through t

1000$ a month to every adult wouldn't reduce poverty and homelessness _at all_? Not a teeny tiny bit? Economics sure is unintuitive.

I appreciate the interest in listening to a simulcast of Harvard-Professor-Collaborates-With-A-Nobody-Hobo. I'll forward this to my agent. My agent is a tin can. I think she used to hold beans. Sometimes I put a few smashed nickels in

What codec would you use for a camera that captures not RGB, but poetry of the soul? CONTEXTLESS, HEADERLESS, ENDLESS BYTE STREAMS OF COURSE, where the literal, idealized (remember udp) position of each byte is part of a vector in a non euc
