I've always assumed the opposite, where Pale Fire was a sort of self-parodical novel, playing on Nabokov's realization of his own eccentricities. Although Pale Fire came out in 1962 and Nabokov's Onegin in 1964, he had been w

That's exactly the issue. The way we learn them is through world experience, which is sometimes hard to figure out how to transfer into a computer. Example: "I dropped the egg on my glass living room table and it broke!" &quo

One of the features I like to use a lot is the ability to specify fair classes. As an example, say I want to fly to Tokyo, and I am an Alaska Airlines mileage plan member. Alaska Airlines does not fly to Tokyo, but it has deals with airline

I'd definitely read more stories about these letters; seems like a very unique perspective! I hadn't heard of Golphin before, so I was curious to read more, and it seems that he's no longer on death row, as of December 2012:

I'll give the disclaimer that this paper isn't in my field, and I'm merely an observer. However, I'll do my best to explain, since it's a little unclear. Based on my perspective, there were three sets of videos: 1)
