   Why do people have so many credit cards? I use one (1) debit card to pay for things, or cash.

    I don't know too much about cryptography, but for an asynchronous communication method like email, is there such a thing as encryption overkill? For example, does it matter whether the message takes two seconds or five seconds to decr

    What about a recording versus a live performance? Isn't a MIDI essentially a super-low-resolution digital recording, minus any spatial acoustic noise? Is soul then contained in space, or the presence of those souls present? Here&#x27

    I went to play Fujiwara no Mokou's Theme through my Roland Atelier AT-30 [1], but the MIDI file (at 194.4 MB!) is a tad too big to fit on a 3.5" floppy disk. It's got a pretty decent sequencer, and had no problems playing Cir

    The Way of the World, by William Congreve, is full of them: a wannabe funnyman named Witwoud, a servant called Waitwell, Lady Fainall (feign-all), Lady Wishfort (wish for it). Comedy gold, circa 1700.
