"revenge" is the wrong word, as that implies intent. This was more like a king deciding to banish their doctor during a stomach ache, and being surprised by a ruptured appendix.

I've seen the image several times, and I'd always assumed it was a painting, using photo-realist techniques.

Is this publication approved by Dr. Linderholm? I love this book, but my gratitude to the author means I'd like his wishes honored.

What effect, if any, does this have on musicians complaining about the use of their work by issue advocates, e.g., the group Survivor complaining about the use of "Eye of the Tiger" by Mike Huckabee at the Kim Davis support rally?

Surely, this has been discussed before. I'd like to see the rebuttal to the "categorical error" argument.

Suppose one of those five (or others with which you are familiar) was the "actual" author of Cow Country . Who would you guess it was, based on the Amazon preview?

The evidence is the quoted prose, which is in the style of Pynchon. If the rest of the book maintains that perspective and entertains me in the manner I expect from Pynchon (as apparently it did the reviewer), then I'll be happy to ha

At some point, I'm hoping to get enough of this to solve this problem: you've taken a picture of, say, the Mona Lisa in its rectangular frame, but because of crowds you weren't in line with dead center, instead you were 5 met

I wonder how much is lost or gained by writing a different document (.lit) than one reads (.html). E.g., how much would a LyX-style ( http://lyx.org ) editor contribute? I'm sure it's been discussed before, but where?

The article summarizes imporant data . Action items I take from the article: * Plan that most of my competitors are better funded than I am because of family and social strata. * Compensate for those deficits before engaging in

I'm fairly happy with Leo for "documenting" my Puppet nodes - I create a Leo node for each Puppet node or node regex with a link to the node definition, and a link to the "documentation" node of each class included

The triangle is pretty easy: take two of the (same size) triangles, with vertices ABC and A'B'C'. Rotate and translate the second triangle to fit the matching side of the first triangle, e.g. AB to B'A'. You now h

I'm so happy this wasn't about chromosomes. At least, I hope it isn't. :-) ...I'll see myself out.

Could you elaborate? What struck me was the limitation to two levels of section/subsection. Perhaps I'm deluding myself, but I think I prefer my information in clearly layered abstractions, with the presentation following the

Genuinely Turing-complete machines have infinite memory ("tape") and an arbitrarily large number of steps within which to complete an algorithm. I suppose "sufficiently Turing-complete" to mean that you can express an a

My experience of religion as practiced deals very little with the "cognitive" (see article), and very much with emotions, such as gratitude, affection and reverence (as well as less positive feelings). It is rare that an appeal i

What I've gathered from news reports is that her mail server was accepting SSL connections, with a certificate that was probably strong enough at the time it was installed, but that was insufficiently strong for the brute-force attacks

The argument is that Erlang (and its OTP environment) gives you the tools to distribute your system in such a manner that hardware failure is observed and that the failed portion of the system is restarted elsewhere. The granularity provid

Thanks! On the one hand, git seems to restore the test data to its initial state faster than rm -r; cp -r, but I'm getting a strong hint from these answers that keeping the test data explicitly in sync with the code is worth the minor

Something I'm still working out.... I have a directory tree full of test data. As the project goes along, the test data will evolve, and thus should go under revision control. Testing needs to start with known files, so, hey!, git che

I've seen multiple security audits that didn't see fit to mention such ethernet ports as a problem. I don't know why; it's possible management told them it was "out of scope".

On a piano, it's closest to the C three octaves below middle C, so around 33Hz. I regret my lack of perfect pitch.
