   Using nicotine gum, you can avoid the typical health hazards of tobacco products. I personally found that caffeine wasn't comparable to nicotine, the former just keeps me awake, while the latter can keep me focused and motivated for se

   That's exactly it (except that k=5 is not reasonable). The REM periods get longer and longer as you sleep; that is, the "cycles" do not have the same period. Edit: also, k=0 is valid, and what most people have been advocating

   This is important. I've found that 22.5 x 2^ k min for any reasonable k has me waking up feeling refreshed.

   I had a similar background and strategy and got 14/20. I call it statistically significant :)

   I've added map <F4> :!pdflatex % to my tex.vim. It's on demand, but after the first compilation it's almost instant. :) Edit: as mentioned in another comment, Evince updates automatically when the file changes.

   Thank you. I don't remember the last time I laughed this hard. I particularly enjoyed your seminal work on the Kurse of Dimensionality, "stemming from a desire to have access to certain subspaces of (R-Q)^\infty without appearing

    One interesting thing I found was mint and coca tea. It's readily available in grocery stores in Peru, and it's an incredible cure for a hangover.

    Isn't the point of corks that the wine can slowly oxidize (age) in the bottle? I also prefer screw caps, but I can't see this being better for all wines.

    I've never been able to understand why people claim that no wine is better than another, or coffee, or tea, or anything. Do a lot of people have very insensitive taste buds? There is most definitely a correlation between price and qual

    False? People liking cabernet sauvignon does not imply that they cannot like a merlot in a cabernet sauvignon bottle.

    I agree with the log scale. If someone was building a histogram, they may not want to use data from an online poll.

    perl is an interesting language in that it is the only one that looks the same before and after RSA encryption.
