Take a proof based math class in college. They will likely start at a low enough level to make you happy. Once you get to the point where the subjects start dividing, you'll see that the real skill that math teaches you is to look at a pro

I wish you could do all this with regular windows. Its also much more specialized for the type of stuff people do on the internet.

Oops, I just failed at reading. As the person below answered, there are less naive ways of doing it. Check out: http://www.tsp.gatech.edu/index.html if you are interested.

I actually think what the author is saying is that the huge and disproportionate cost is what some of the best and brightest have to go through in order to get a job in academia and that the purported advantages of tenure come too late for

Also, while this is true on some level, on another, its not a bad thing for society to support a few people whose sole purpose is to uphold a link to the past (in any of it's incarnations). Sure they may not provide a lot of utility in term

I really don't understand how this helps you. The one page site doesn't really contain useful information, so anyone google-ing "dallas classifieds" that does click the link will bounce pretty immediately. Do you have any statistics on the

Great idea. It would be cool to actually construct a web of stories that mention one another or that have similar themes.

No, the particles are bigger. Duh. To be fair it looked a little different than water.

yeah, but they are now no longer really tinker-able, or even fixable, because so much of their operation cannot be discerned. So when they do break the headaches are much bigger.

It's not just on paper. In my own experience I have gotten a lot of utility out of researching old patents (I do aluminum anodizing as a hobby and found detailed descriptions of stripping solutions in patents). Society needs a system to en

The one thing I feel people often forget is that the idea of a patent (i.e. a government mechanism for providing an incentive for inventors to share innovations with the rest of the world) is a good one. I think that the existing implementa

I think you missed my point. First off what I'm saying is that while fancy pictures of high end lab equipment might look impressive, it doesn't mean that it is the best way to design things, even when the people doing it are really good. Se

This is so silly. There's a feynman quote where he was talking about how at MIT they had this really fancy test facility, but it never produced any results, because the people running the tests were in another room an never saw anything ha

why is this not possible? Have the program read the "notes" from the finale file, format them into the lillypad format, and have its compiler spit the beautified version back out to you. This would be the equivilent of building a "quick pre

Yeah, but the removal policies are regarding the suggest functionality, not the actual search engine, so I don't think this can be considered censorship to any extent. Like even if a lot of people were searching it, you might not want to be
