Mathematics books are really crappy too. The conversion to Ebooks screws up the typesetting completely and makes a lot of things hard to read or follow.

The problem with using the metric system in the US is that it really isn't applicable to most real life situations and feels quite artificial. I recall having that feeling as a child while being taught the metric system. It's funny that the

I would really impressed by seeing some kind of wacky function paired with a fixed point combinator so that when a function is integrable, the combinator spits out as a fixed point the answer.

Apparantly you don't either. There are plenty of scientific theories that are indisputably resolved and closed to debate.

Saying it would work with mathematics is making a strong assumption about the kind of math classes people would be taking while using this service.

That is actually incorrect. The switch to digital has been postponed to June 12.

While I know that marijuana relieves pain for certain, very specific illnesses, to say that it is a general pain relief alternative is quite naive. As to whether or not it is an adequete antidepressant, you believe what you want. I don't kn

Should one not study the geometry of Euclid, despite it being a "waste of good talent?" I mean, learning 2000 year old mathematics will not innovate or contribute to modern mathematics, right? People will do and learn things for their intri

While I'm not much of a coder, I come to this place because there a lots of interesting articles and insightful comments. It's refreshing to see such an intelluctual crowd of people on the internet for once.

Because it sounds like it is in the process of being peer-reviewed and that he has actually presented his ideas to people who actually know what they are talking about, it seems quite doubtful.

Depression leads to amazing creativity. Just look as Eliot, who wrote his masterpiece "The Wasteland" while in a middle of an extremely turbulent time with his family and friends.

The website is gorgeous and the interface is fantastic. Honestly, the main problem with this website is that gourmet tea lovers don't use recipes. They buy rare and expensive teas and use time-tested ancient brewing methods to get the most

I find it interesting that the attempted theories to explain the makeup of matter seem quite ridiculous and almost humorous now. One would hope the theories about quantum gravity that are wrong will seem equally ridiculous in the future.

I would like to believe that the side effects of the space race couldn't have been easily emulated by just funding projects directly. I think a lot of the technologies that came out of the time period weren't "Oh, let's make a <technolo

If anything I find less crappy websites now than I did several years ago. But don't you miss scrolling marques, an obnoxious color scheme, cheesy background music, and animated gifs!?
