well. it's mutable. your code can change it. don't do it (often). then you're just programming with lots of global state.

You're going to have trouble getting mathematicians interested in just a hunch. Earlier, you used the phrase: "I have a result which shows..." Which, in maths parlance, that would imply you have a proof. Which, if correct, would be rather i

"Let C(n) denote the number of Carmichael numbers less than n. ... The upper bound C(n)<n*exp(-(lnnlnlnlnn)/(lnlnn)) (4) has also been proved (R. G. E. Pinch)." So that ratio isn't constant. Key is "...of very large numbers...". Clearly

“Numbers that fool the Fermat test are called Carmichael numbers, and little is known about them other than that they are extremely rare. There are 255 Carmichael numbers below 100,000,000. The smallest few are 561, 1105, 1729, 2465, 2821,

i came from houston. austin wins hands down. the bus system's a lot better. the houston rail line is mostly useless unless you work in the medical center. besides it's possible to bike in austin.

And some recruiters are so bad that they steer candidates away from a position. I know I've walked away from a potential job because the recruiter was so hard to deal with.

Most of those changes get masked behind loops that I don't think either is very different for understanding. I think the plusses outweigh the edge cases.

Always e-mail a candidate first to set up a phone call. Don't cold call at 8.15AM because it's business hours somewhere. Every. Single. Day. Didn't need an alarm clock that week.

CPU's a big help if you're compiling a lot. Then again most projects are small enough where it doesn't matter. But my MBP's a necessity when it comes to compiling Firefox.

I mean the advantage to other options mentioned here is building on top would be easier than a CMS. But if you're more comfortable with ruby, go with something on rails, not Django. I'm sure there's an equivalent project.
