Organ, piano, bassoon; used to play the first two at weddings/funerals/receptions and substitute-play at various churches. I'm not so good at the bassoon. My favorite is chamber music, but I haven't even had time for jam sessions the past y

I would like to do this too. I've thought about it a bit, and it seems like you could create a latex template that would allow for easy parse-and-export into HTML. That way, you retain your latex styling, and adjust it accordingly for the

It's unclear from the front page what type of reminders I can actually set. You give a lot of examples as to what will be supported in the future, but I can't tell what is actually supported now. I'm trying it out anyway, but it would be n

I'm pretty disappointed by the votes down on all of javert's comments on these posts. Political opinion is welcome on this site in other threads, this just seems to be suppression of an unpopular point of view. It's also disingenuous to ask

I don't have much to say that other people haven't said already. But: It's unrealistic and silly in my opinion to plan on graduating from college in 3 years. If you really want that atmosphere of smart, driven people you're going to want to

You need to remember that 6.001 is an /introductory/ programming course. Presumably most of the people taking it at MIT have done some codework before : ] but an intro. course is an intro. course. The question of what language to use is a p
