Seems like a relevant time to post http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Unsolicited_redesigns

If that is true why not let women try out for it?

It may well be that it makes cycling seem more dangerous.

High quality timber framed houses are built in Europe and the US. Bricks have a much larger carbon footprint, are more expensive, do not insulate as well as a wooden frames with proper insulation. Brick walls also take longer to assemble.

Predictably the top comment here says that this is unjust. No idea why....

hmm I did not know there was a windows version.

For me that is what makes such uses of wealth so shocking. Doesn't notch have a better idea just how much 70m is and what it could do for other people.

Tony Soprano is the protagonist. He has people killed and kills people. He isn't set up as a villain.

by glomph 12y ago
Yeah and the popularity of the Sopranos showed tacit approval of the American mobsters.

Do you have evidence of that? That is pretty much exactly what is in question.

by glomph 12y ago
high-status men > high-status women > low-status women > low-status men. Going to need some evidence of that. Seems like bullshit.

Wouldn't this require quantum computing to be developed relatively gradually and in the open? Seems likely that a gov or company will suddenly reveal it or have it exposed.

That will not happen because current nuclear power just isn't economical without government guarrantees.

Could you describe how such a cross over could happen smoothly? Seems like there would be mass panic, all the mining rigs would have to re assemble etc.

Here is the relevant point in their ToS: 3.3 You shall not: (i) take any action that imposes or may impose (as determined by us in our sole discretion) an unreasonable or disproportionately large load on our (or our third party providers’)

Bullshit. If you believe they don't oversell their VPSs you are living in a fantasy land.

Wait so because women don't 'typically spring to mind' as programmers they should have changed it from the original?

They are only threatening because the election is coming up and an anti EU party got a surprising amount of votes in the EU election (still not that many in real terms).

Ah yeah. You kind of have to read philosophy straight to get anything out of it. Skimming isn't really an option.

by glomph 12y ago
I come from philosophy where the standard is to do full page text. It doesn't seem to harm readability there.
173.
by glomph 12y ago
So I have a question about papers. It seems the standard in comp-sci and much of science to do two column layouts even for pages that are entirely text. Why is this?
174.
by glomph 12y ago
Huh? We have a pretty good understanding of the externalised costs for these. There is no mystery for storing waste and there is a very strong understanding of how easy it is to decommission. What externalities are you talking about?

Coming from python and not knowing VB I found the Do Loop syntax tricky at first. I am used to a loop explaining how long it will run for at the top (similar to the for loop here). Being pseudocode I found it odd to mix loop syntax. One loo

It is much easier to be nice when you are successful in the sense that you don't have to work as hard to benefit the people around you. Yet when it is actually measured (by which I mean more than just considering what you think of your

Did anyone read the article from Helena Cronin that was one after the Eugenics one? Absolute drivel. Even worse than the Eugenics piece.

What motivated that choice of psudocode? I found it very hard to read.

by glomph 12y ago
The person you are replying to didn't say anything about Nuclear being bad. They made a point only about cost.

He may also have been practising a risky method of forcing a card on you. It is standard advice to do this often as it is the only real way of getting good at it.
