A-ha! Another racist and/or religiously intolerant character just downmodded me . . . unbelievable. Well, here's the thing folks: HACKERS simply don't do that . . . there are way too many people here that simply don't belong here, and need

"It's his funeral" is absolutely right. Hmm, wonder what the name of people who are BOTH wanna be hackers and wanna be suits is? Need that one nowadays.

In my experience, the "positive" business types (those to whom reality and facts are "negative" if those don't fit their agenda) are in reality some of the most negative, vicious, two-faced, double talking, backstabbing, manipulating, thiev

Because for many folks, myself included, the opinion of a genius such as Norvig is solid enough to be treated as scientific fact.

I am doing around 2 hours per week total, and it has positively changed my life in many ways. I bought a crosstrainer a few months back, and it is the very best $200 USD I have ever spent, I highly recommend it to everyone. I do 20 minutes
