   IIRC, the TCL interpreter is included in the python one. The baby analogy is pretty apt, just backwards.

   For me, Beowulf really took the wind out of the sails of the epic hero archetype. Ignorance can be bliss.

   Sorry, I wasn't speaking in absolutes. I'm not a pollster or statistician, so I was relaying my anecdote. I think your comment's sibling, and one of mine, elucidate why I have that anecdote.

   Maybe not British, but it is very much a Japanese tendecy, ime. If I see a good anime/comic, I try to appreciate what I saw and expect no resolution. I'm curious how often they even have resolution in the outline.

   Our governments have moved to democratic republics, for the most part, but our workplaces are still generally heirarchies and feudalism. I see what he is saying. I see what your point is though, I think. Even in heirarchies, we are suppo

   Have you ever seen the movie gattacca? What are your thoughts on the moral behind it, if you don't mind my asking?

   I know the conversation is around University... but tedium seemed to be a hallmark, maybe the keystone, of the public schools I attended.

    Quakers have been trying to implement a form of this on religious grounds. At a used bookstore, I found a book(1) about Marian Franz that illuminated the history behind their attempts. Weirdly enough, there was a personal dedication in the

    Thanks for making these posts, open sourcing spitfire, and supporting multiple browsers. This is really interesting. I am very eager for browsers to improve their real-time audio/video potential.

    If you really care, you could try to flag it couldn't you? A lot of the users seem to be more business oriented though, and they will want to hack the economy... So good luck.

    There is actually an international attempt to do that, but I don't know much about it. https://www.saharaforestproject.com/

    I suspect for most people you are right, but it isn't like we can measure and quantify either disincentive. I know the chilling effect of the widened pool of viewers is real. I also know the quality of the feed is generally terrible.

    Ya that's what I thought too, but I heard a few people say gracchiae and just followed the leader, wondering why the name turned feminine. You think gracchiae could be referring to the whole lineage or something?

    On the other side of the coin, the machinations to divide and defeat the interests of the plebeians were horribly fascinating. Beware the promises of a Drusus. In my mind, the failures of the gracchiae seem to echo for hundreds of years un

    Yes, I guess countersuit is the wrong word. I was wondering how the burden of proof could be equitable with contentID as broken as it is. Wouldn't all claims have to be settled before videos are publicized (creating a whole new set o

    To make it equitable in this situation would seem to require allowing those initiating the counter suit to do so with zero risk. And as another poster pointed out, the value of the upload is significantly diminished after it had become &qu

    Many people would argue that information shouldn't be classified as property. Maybe it shouldn't be completely free to reproduce and share, but thinking of it as property has obvious negative effects.

    And to make things even worse, they don't have the same electoral potential. Stripping voting rights from felons is incredibly immoral, IMO. http://www.ncsl.org/research/elections-and-campaigns/felon-v...

    I don't think cute is the right word; but yeah, as the sibling comment pointed out, he needed to seize on the opportunity to grow. He didn't.

    I don't think IQ tests are precise because intelligence is an abstract concept. It makes sense that they are searching for something corporeal and consistent.

    I'm very excited, but how usable do you think it will be early on? I know they are relying on the community to refine the software environment. Regardless, the hardware is what I really want. I have a feeling it will even end up with
