I'm looking forward to digging into this book as well. I've gone through most of R Graphs (Packt) and R Cookbook (O'Reilly) which are great for learning the nuts and bolts of R and R in Action looks to be the next step.

I see it a matter of degrees. Every last person is complicit in some way in awful things, but the garbage man that works for the government that kills people in Iraq isn't quite as culpable as the hedge fund trader that directly harms the

I don't believe the Mayans, but I do think that 2012 is going to be a huge year. For one, the Occupy movement is going to rise back up in some form in the spring and will be an interesting juxtaposition to the campaign fever in the U.S. I

Wait, people are JUST NOW realizing that "unbeatable service!" is marketing talk?

The first Crystal Castles album is perfect: kind of droney so it doesn't force you pay to a lot of attention but it's got a good beat throughout.

Do you have a link for this "pulled the plug" assertion? It's my understanding that Radiohead always intended to release the CD in stores all along because "some fans would not have the technological means to obtain the new material." acco

Are we sure that Verizon doesn't support SOPA? I'm not seeing them on the list but I still find it hard to believe.

FB might say that it enhances the timeline, which is essentially their way of organizing your life for you.

But you can take a baby anywhere. Unless FB deduced "this baby was born today" and figured it must be at a hospital. If so, we're in trouble...

He's so incredibly succinct and persuasive in his points when it comes to religion and I always love to hear these debates. His memoir 'Hitch-22' is well worth the read, especially now (the opening in particular).

A lot of people are making this joke in these first minutes and it's ok. I upvoted you. But I'd like to make the point that he stared death in the face and didn't finally profess his love of god and all things mighty like some wanted him t

I think a lot of people bought this because they enjoy Louis CK and not because they wanted to experience what downloading a video is like. The benefit is that he made it easy and cheap. If he went the conventional route I probably wouldn'

He makes it seem like he won't be using that list: > and they would have owned your private information for their own use. > You never have to join anything, and you never have to hear from us again. And I think Louis CK is going to

Sketched out well. I listen a lot of podcasts by comedians and they all think what Louis CK is doing is great. I'd imagine that some that aren't quite as popular as him think they can't do it too, but once they see that it isn't insurmoun

That specific "no money" bit was a long time ago, way before you saw him and before his "Lucky Louie" show. So yes it's possible that at one point he had "no money." He's not the type of comedian that keeps doing a funny bit even if it is

Not to mention he has total control over the look and presentation of the material (editing, lighting, no commercials) because it's his money. The content provider used to pay for the special, but now comedians are paying that cost up front

by ddw 15y ago
Not quite. Louis CK wasn't asking for a donation, he said that it cost $5 to watch his special. But the point was that he made it available for everyone at a small price. You didn't need HBO for $10/month (typically where a comedian of hi

All of his copy is awesome: Hi Thanks for subscribing to the Louis C.K. email list. I swear to Christ* I will not bother you now that I have your email. To complete your subscription, you need to confirm you got this email. To do so, please

A few of the responses here are snarky and understandably so considering the author's reasons for this post, yet the problem remains. How does cloud computing fall within the traditional IT ops model? Anecdotally I've worked for a large c

I've gotten behind in that class as well, but I plan on downloading all of the videos soon so that I can at least go through them without doing the quizzes/exercises next year.

I've got an Android, but my fiancée has the 4S. She's a very normal user and this is her first smartphone. Siri was fun for us at first and I was impressed with what it could do. But at this point my fiancée doesn't use it at all. I disag

Yeah, it really does come down to just exercising. There aren't any shortcuts. I shoot for at least 5 times a week. I just ran my first marathon and it felt GREAT. Totally worth 4.5 months of training.

The TV deals are still good enough that the leagues won't offer all of the games through their online platform. The hope, I suppose, is that future TV deals will decrease to the point that the leagues realize that they can make more money b
