I've always thought of myself as really slow mentally. It always baffles me when I see and hear people in an oral discussion come up with interesting thoughts while they are talking . For me it always takes a couple of days of silent con

No, but that's not his point. (I think) he says there's something wrong with him basing his price on what criminals would pay (regardless of whether he would actually sell it to criminals). I don't know. If he can't ask whatever he wants

I have the same problem with Google Earth. What labels, points and such it shows seems to depend on the position and shape of the moon rather than on the position of the screen and the zoom level. Sometimes I want to see something (like a

Yeah, somebody has to do that. But it doesn't have to be one person. I wouldn't mind digging a ditch or handling some sewage every once in a while. If everyone did a little of everything without commitment or paperwork or whatnot, I be

Actually, most people don't hate work at all. I hear they love it and they couldn't even imagine life without work and the satisfaction (also spelled "exhaustion") it gives. At least that's what everyone says when I make it known that I h

I saw this some years ago and all I took away from it was that "default permit" and "enumerating badness" are really the same thing.

That's interesting... I've been thinking about this for a while now and at first I thought it would be incredibly bloated, but now I'm not so sure. Definitely interesting.

Just yesterday I felt the same confusion. I'm working on a JavaScript web application that communicates with a Common Lisp backend using S-expressions one way and JSON the other way (for good enough reasons). I devised a neat scheme with n

Here's an article that says entanglement isn't all that weird: http://www.flownet.com/ron/QM.pdf . Admittedly, I'm not familiar enough with quantum mechanics to get it, but it's related and YMMV.

I wasn't picking on your choice of words. If there is an ever-present something which effects our universe, and there is change in our universe, then there must be change in that ever-present something's universe, right? I mean, I suppose

In my opinion, a university education should only be about intellectual curiosity with the greatest research minds. If you are only interested in the practical aspects of programming, I don't think that a university fits your needs. I agr

blows dust off JavaScript skills... 'this' is always 'window', unless the function is invoked as a method, i.e., as a property of an object: window.bar = 'bar' var obj = { foo: function () { return this.bar }, ba

Well, if my parents had thought that, then I wouldn't have to spend fourty hours a week sitting at a computer like a zombie. And that's just to be able to survive so that I can do more such work! As for raising children... It really is im

If it's such a painful hell of a lot of work, why do it? Why have kids if it's impossible to raise them well?
