By coincidence, I am doing it now. I always drink water first thing in the morning in order to restore fluids after sleep. I am also drinking coffee with milk, but no sugar. Lastly, I am drinking some psyllium husk powder that I blend in

I think this too, when I read about WASM. It seems to be tackling the same problem that java was created to solve. Namely, a platform independent VM for running applications (applets) in the browser. I, for one, would appreciate an explan

Thanks for that. I hadn't heard of Harold Bloom before today, but what I've read about his scholarship and writing today, leads me to think that I could use one or more of his books as a guide to reading books from the western ca

If I were to read one of his books as a guide the best bits of the canon to read, which book should I read? The main options appear to be 'Genius', 'The Western Canon' and 'How to read and why'. I'd like t

My bad on the missing 'the'. Mechanism is in the abstract. Of course it is. I see it now. Sorry about that. Probably wise to mention your PhD here on HN. Nerds (apart from me) are the finest proof readers and grammar checkers

You've submitted this. I hope the spelling and grammatical errors aren't a problem for the readers. First of which is a missing 'the' in the first sentence. Later 'categories' instead of categorise. Still, i
