I just wrote this simple decorate function that I'm looking forward to using in my programs. It worked out quite nicely in this fibonacci example.

I think you'll find lots of attempts at ths problem. We tried to do this with data from Faves.com, our social bookmarking service. In the end we shut down our public recommendation service because we couldn't keep up with the spammers. An

Professor Ehrman's works have been helpful to me in learning more about the historical context of Chritianity and the Church. He has some excellent videos from The Learning Company as well as several books on the subject. http://en.wikipe

I would love to meet him someday. Larry is obviously very thoughtful about many things. I guess it would have been more accurate to state that he uses his logical facilities to shoehorn what to me seem like obvious contradictions, into an

My bad. You were right about my mistake. Thanks for the link ... I have idea if Wall falls into this category - seems unlikely.

It's funny, though.

Amen, brother!

Maybe. Maybe not. But I certainly think we've advanced well beyond the 6 day creation myth of the bible. Can you still call yourself a Christian if you selectively edit the parts of the Christian faith you chose to hold? If so, how much?

I don't think there is anything outside physical reality. Or, if there were, then by definition its presence would be irrelevant to anything we can practically do about it. But I think Larry is not talking about this sort of metaphysical q

His statements about having to integrate contradictions in his thinking are very interesting. I wouldn't have the patience for it. Why not just discard the single belief (held only on faith), and get rid of the contradictions in one fell

I think if you read the article, you have to come to the conclusion that Wall is a diest. "Wall is also a serious evangelical Christian, a member (and webmaster) of the New Life Church's Cupertino Church of the Nazarene." as well as some of

Sorry. I didn't mean to be condescending. I meant to emphasize that I am puzzled to see people straddling high logical faculties, while choosing to disregard those abilities when it comes to some of their beliefs.

I don't mean to be disrespectful to Mr. Wall. Of course I admire his brilliant creations. I made my statement in the context where those of us that rely on reason and evidence are under attack in popular culture. And people tout lists of

Evidence for the way the world works is all around us. Holding onto faith in creationism and other religion-based myths is holding many people back from understanding what real evidence we have about the world. If you want to go to the ext

I think it takes an amazing disregard for evidence to hold on to being a Christian. We're not really talking about deep mysteries of the universe here. The Christian myth is so obviously false to anyone who takes an even casual look at th

It never fails to amaze me how otherwise very intelligent and thoughtful people remain stuck believing in God. I must say I can't help feel a little less impressed with people when I learn they are theists.

Great article. Will CBS apologize? Will they learn anything from this? Since they don't seem to have suffered financially from their irresponsible reporting, I am afraid the won't change a thing.

We had the Membase team visit the Seattle Google Tech User's group last month. We had about 100 folks in attendance - and I would say we were pretty impressed with the demos we saw of Membase - especially very nice administration dashboard

I think this applied to unincorparated providers only. But I agree, this was a very intrusive expansion of reporting requirement for taxpayers. Thank goodness they are getting rid of it.

Good idea. Since I want to use some of this for JS tutorials - I may provide some inline boxes that the reader can then modify in-situ.
