Right, I definitely feel bad to have forgotten Aspinwall, if ever I knew where it was. Yet I doubt that anyone worth reading has used the word "fane" since about Alfred Lord Tennyson--I won't feign shame for missing that one. I bet a fair n

So, I am a candidate to use this if I care enough but an issue to mail my representatives but either 1. I do not know who they are. 2. I do not have a way to commit my words to paper and mail them to the representatives. I don't say that th

Really, if there were a point to the essay, she might have included "I'm not prejudiced, but..." after which some feel free to let go with remarks to give Ben Tillman pause.

A close relative teaches in a continuing-ed masters program. The first two or three times she taught the class, the grades on the midterm were OK, but reasonably distributed. This fall, they were uniformly excellent. She concluded that the

Gosh, what a concept. Wonder if anybody's pondered this before...

""We can't allow ourselves to be out-communicated by our enemies." I don't regard RT as a friend, but "enemies"? It is also worth mentioning that the notionally respectable media has a very mixed record over the years. Look up Walter Durant

Google is the only one I use constantly. I've been on Amazon this out of curiosity to see what people said about a book I disliked, but haven't bought anything from them in years. Facebook? No. Twitter? No.

I don't disagree, but getting fired can be hard on the cash flow.

Make a directory on your machine for the book, with subdirectories for each chapter. Put the code files for the problems/examples in the proper place and you should have no doubts. Mark up the book (well, if it's paper) as you go. And the e

Disclaimer: I don't know VB.NET, I barely know VBScript, I do think that Python would make an excellent intro language, given that there is relatively little syntactic cruft hiding the bones. (To be sure, it was not my first language, so th

I remember looking at a high-school yearbook from the beehive hairdo era and remarking to the owner, Geez, you all really wanted to look just alike. I went to high school in a day and place where the girls grew their hair long and left it d

As a United Statesian, I might question the practicality in the foreseeable future. I would certainly point out that a belief in mankind and its freedom is the sort of thing that can be invoked for a decision to invade Iraq, or to imagine t

1. Apart from the fake populism, I was struck in the print edition by the Southernization of America--I'm supposed to car about stock car racing and and country music? Back in the day those were amusements that started south of the Ohio. 2.

I had a wonderful run a few Sundays ago (well, wonderful for my middle-aged self), rolled home feeling great, then woke up in the middle of the night with a hot raw patch in the top of my mouth and a couple of days of misery coming on. But

As secrets go, this didn't seem to make it very far. Czeslaw Milosz's notice of the Congress for Cultural Freedom in _Milosz's ABCs_, says "you could smell big money a mile away, and the French, who were stewing in their anti-Americanism, b

I guess it depends on the resources available. If the counselors are as bad as you say the professors are, seeing a counselor might not help. But you might do well to give them a shot, and then decide. Otherwise, I will say that 1. The man

How impressively obnoxious. Were I singled out, I think I'd start agitating to have my fellow students revoke their pledges, cancel their checks, etc.

I guess one question is whether the bulk of the illegal immigrants in Arizona at any one time are using it as a residence or just passing through. This would definitely make it less attractive as a residence, but its advantages for transit

I would vote Python, simply for the PythonWin environment.

I like to get at least seven hours during the week and aim for nine Friday and Saturday nights. I can do a couple of days of six hours or less, but my efficiency goes way down. These days I'm not a good daytime sleeper. It could be that wha

1. Stupid question, but are runners allowed to run out there in foul territory? 2. The most usual cases where speed matters are two and three base advances--double, triple, second to home on a single. I'd think the advantage would diminish

Also Italian. I really don't care, either, except that it can lead to discomfort when one is browsing a mixed shelf, say at book sale.

Unfortunately, the question is harder to answer when put naively. How is a beginner supposed to evaluate what somebody says about closures, lambdas, type checking? I would recommend learning Python. Python for Windows is a very handy enviro

I think it was Cocteau, who asked to name France's greatest poet replied "Victor Hugo, helas." No question, if you're looking for rhymes, English gives you a tougher task. But if you think it's about the rhymes, maybe you should be doing so
