That reads too much like baloney.

That's pretty fun. I'm glad the highest voted reply on superuser wasn't snarky about the answer. This sort of reminds me of the "Who the hell is Paul McCartney?" thing on Twitter recently... which is an order of mag

Same problem. Looks like we're getting a 403 posting to the server after the initial question. I'm logged in with G+.

>>its awkward to put money and church in the same phrase I have attended churches that would disagree with that sentiment. :) Can you tell us what the ADDO name means?

Good point. About 15 years ago I had the beginnings of RSI, and discovered the immense benefit of just getting up and walking around every now and then (good for the eyes, too). Also there are a few wrist/forearm massages that helped,

This is sort of the boat I'm in now. I've been writing side-project widgets, and just putting them on my blog with commentary. I toyed around with Sourceforge over a decade ago, but just never latched onto it as a platform for pub

Chris, I think "drawn", not "drawed" is what you were looking for. Also, nice find.

That's good. I was going to say "gauche", but that may be sending the wrong message.

I look forward to reading this, however I object to the first reviewer comment: "The first book that really explains what Lisp is all about." No, I think the first book to explain that was Godel, Escher, Bach.

I am not a statistician, but if I found myself in an infinite forest, I would probably get drunk, too.

Neat. However, I had a hard time quieting my Algebra teacher's memory from tut-tutting the example's lack of the other quadratic root.

I believe it was time travel; possibly an irate developer trying to get back his 20% time.

Jumping to a conclusion based on no evidence is something Pinker would scold you for.

The CIA gave up snooping on him because they couldn't understand a damned thing he said... his works are also the reason Watson learned to cry. But seriously, it's no surprise that titling books like "Hegemony or Survival&quo

Thanks for the vote of confidence. I didn't search for the specifics based on the language of the article; it seemed to boil down to "some future math breakthrough based on current work is possible"... which is always the cas

Isn't there an article like this every year, always long on FUD and short on math?

Yes! I hereby call on the author to at least mention weighing the strengths of various hex colors while designing the web layout.

"First: Larry is insane." As cdoxsey says, this as uncharitable, however it's not without a grain of truth. He's a bit of a loon, but a lovable loon. That being said, what he helped add to the technology ecosystem is as

"Make it look organic" is a lofty goal, but I don't think it's realistic. As Misery from Ruby Gloom says, you don't tell people you're starting a craze, a craze just happens.

I wonder how they store all that. Surely a side benefit of this could be NSA contributions to CS journals about database techniques. Also I doubt the veracity of the claim that they collect "nearly everything". Wouldn't they

It sounds like they treated you poorly, and I'm naturally inclined to side with people who would abandon the exposure that a set of TechEd talks would bring in favor of not ignoring his wife, but... ...did you make your wife's inc

I agree in spirit, but not details. The dress code is what's unimportant, not the person trying to manage the speakers.

From the same people who invented hidden compartments in cars for running shine, we have further proof that hillbillies are ingenious. Well done, sir!

People are really good at apologizing for the atrocities of the previous generation. This is a pretty empty gesture, and doesn't forgive the UK for driving to suicide a man who saved thousands of British lives.

That's pretty good. In a few more years digital resolution might be comparable to film.

That's good until your input stream exceeds 32768 lines [1]. There are better generators available from CPAN, like Math::TrulyRandom. [1] - http://www.perl.com/doc/FMTEYEWTK/random
