Well, it was written before writing things in octal or hex was common, I think, so you'll have to cut him some slack there.

The only thing I ever learned from math in high school was "I don't care why it's true, just give me the right answer" (the attitude of every single student other than myself).

I think grade school math curriculums are incredibly bad in most of the world, though. I know it's awful here in Ontario. Everything I learned about mathematics was from non-textbooks (e.g. Dover math books), lectures, papers and blog

They still deserve to be skinned alive though. As feminists are fond of saying "intent isn't magic".

So you mean this will help get rid of those sites that create fake pages based on search results?

It's been this way for a quite a while though, now the only difference is that SSL is enabled for a larger number of people. Also adding the search terms to the url would defeat the whole purpose of using SSL for search at all.

It looks like they just enabled SSL for all users, which is defnitely a GOOD thing. These SEO people are confused because I guess it limits some data they would've normally got, but it's a byproduct of them turning on SSL. It&#x27

Sure. Linguists consider grammar to basically be what a person knows in order to say they are a fluent speaker of their language, which includes understanding words in that language. More narrowly speaking, lexical information is tied to sy

Technically our mental lexicon is part of what constitutes grammar (as understood by linguists).

John Cale was an equally large part of what made the VU great, and he's still touring and making great music. I'd be interested to hear his thoughts.

a) Nobody doing this expects that it will increase the difficulty of cracking the server via SSH, or at least nobody I've talked to does it for this reason and I certainly don't. b) Since when is the uid that started a process a

I completely agree. I'm absolutely disgusted by this.

This is why I'm doing mostly stuff unrelated to CS in school (linguistics, philosopy, etc..). I don't feel it's a good use of my time to take useless courses, though I am thinking of double majoring in CS and Linguistics. I a

rtorrent supports magnet links just fine if you're using a recent version (As in one from the past year or two).

It doesn't use S-Expressions internally, it uses a different representation called syntax objects. http://docs.racket-lang.org/guide/stx-obj.html

I disagree, by that definition Racket is not a lisp. AST macros are enough imo.

The effect a gene has on a trait isn't equal in all environments. It plays a larger part in groups of people who have very similar environmental conditions, conversely it plays a much smaller role in populations with a high variation i

IQ becomes more heritable the more homogeneous an education and development a group has. So it is probably less heritable in a very poor country where there is a large disparity in the kind of nutrition and education someone has access to (

Using PHP for anything is not an indictment in my opinion, but making it the focus of an _engineering class_ is, imo. My point of view is that formal education should be for things you would have a difficult time learning on your own, and I

No offence but if you have to use PHP or Wordpress for a university level engineering course then that is a major indictment of the school. You could get a better education from MIT OCW and Coursera. Also I don't see a problem with req
