This is awesome cool! After seeing the website made to look like 3.1 on here a while ago, I have been looking for some old install media to give it a spin.

It didn't bother me. It reminds me of the "edgy" look in a lot of trailers for movies or video games. In particular I am thinking of Portal now, although I'm not sure if they used that exact thing.

What do you mean about the 80 vs 40 hrs/wk? That working more will (naturally) get you more money, so you pay more taxes? Or some kind of "hard-worker" tax where they tax you based directly on effort? I haven't heard any of these proposa

In the marginal or total revenue? Ie tax = C, or tax = c * income? How would we define fair here? Both of the above options seem somewhat fair: everyone contributes the same amount, or everyone contributes the same percentage of income.

In this thread, it has been said that people on Wall Street aren't creating anything; they are just moving money around, making a profit on arbitrage, etc. I would like to disagree, and recall the second paragraph of this comment by xxzz:

I would expect the crime levels to sort of coincide over the nation. In fact, they don't: http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=violent+crime+in+seattl... but it does seem that they do between these two cities. It is weird. Here's someth

Haha, good but http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_hierarchy_theorem says no.

It's similar, but with a finite set it wouldn't show up unless you had some outcomes have probability 0 (in which case, why not just delete them from the outcome space?). Where you need the idea is in continuous spaces - like a uniform [0,1

Debt per citizen : 41392. Debt per taxpayer: 116490. 41392 / 116490 = 35.5%; can it really be that so few are taxpayers?

It looks like he's choosing the worst piece by looking one step ahead. In general, choosing strategies this way can back you into corners. I'd be interested to know whether in this case, looking ahead 1 move is enough to get a global win

I would try to find a book that balances managable and brain stretchy. _Calculus made easy_ was good for me at a certain level of understanding (yes algebra and geometry, no calculus). Try things at a library, and get recommendations, until

Wikipedia says yes: "In 1997, in U.S. v. Thomas, 116 F.3d 606, the Second Circuit ruled that jurors can be removed if there is evidence that they intend to nullify the law" "In 2001, a California Supreme Court ruling on a case involving sta

I was thrilled with that auto-setup feature. It was very easy to get everything up to speed. If I hadn't used social networks before I might have wanted a slow ramp-up, but I'm already comfortable with Facebook.
