The correct formula that Wolfram should be using here is floor((cur_yr - old_yr)x365.25), assuming you are interested only in the recent past where the 365.25 holds true. As an aside, floor(365.25x(2011-1984))+138 gives 9,999 days elapsed w

This is the main conclusion at the end of the article: that SSDs should be picked for their performance rather than for their reliability, as SSD reliability hasn't been proven to be better whereas performance has. Reliability comes in her

These articles are depressing to me but for entirely different reasons from those listed in this and the thread on the previous article. They show a severe case of entitlement and a large disconnect between what the writers want and what t

It seems like the calculator is true to its name in that it only evaluates the given input function. Whether or not a function is monotonic should have no bearing on the calculator because it isn't actually solving anything, only evaluating

Should everyone be allowed to use these public services when not everyone is donating? Should you be allowed to use the police even if you haven't been donating to their budget? What if the police have two calls: one from someone who has do

Speaking hypothetically, if I were to have sensitive documents on my network they wouldn't be on a computer with access to anything but the LAN. Your definition of sensitive seems to differ wildly from the definitions I've seen from corpor

The problem here is that your work ethic is not up to par because you can always think to yourself, "Why should I waste my time on this?" and not have an imperative answer ("I need to pass this class"). The major draw of a University educat

pbh brings up solid points. Stating that something is big will always lead to the question "relative to what?" Your post indicates that you think 28/108 is big relative to what a normal cheating rate would be (as can be seen by your statem
