They're also pretty bad at rolling out their services to countries outside of the US. In Canada we've been told that we're getting Amazon's MP3 music store for years, but it still hasn't come, let alone any Amazon v

A former Ph.D. student of my supervisor(s) in grad school designed his linear algebra code in such a way that he was able to separate it out and create a business from it. I've seen the rest of the code and it's a bit of a tangled

A space station at one of the Lagrange points is likely. If one wanted to do a space station near the moon, L1 and L2 would work. L1 is on the Earth side while L2 is on the dark side of the moon. L4 and L5 have long been proposed for long-t

Considering that much of what's on people's Facebook pages is against the law to even ask about (in some jurisdictions) it's probably a wise choice. Stick to what's provided by the candidate. I provide a link to my Linke

When I was much younger, I used to play Dune 2 while listening to Smashing Pumpkins. Now, whenever I hear Smashing Pumpkins, I'm taken back to playing Dune 2 all over again.

Looking at it, I don't see anything dealing with sparse matrices or factorization (e.g., LU, QR, SVD). All the Java libraries for SVD are pretty bad. Plus, none of your examples mention double precision. Does the library support it? I

Hmm. It's been held up in court that companies are people in regards to other laws, so it's an interesting argument.

One thing I really liked in Arise is that they showed how Togusa joined the Major's team (and how they joined Section 9). We got some good back story on Togusa in Ghost Tears. Unfortunately, Alternative Architecture (and the Arise OVAs

Another problem with open access journals is that they generally have lower impact factors. The impact factors of the journals you publish in play a big role in tenure and promotion decisions for professors.

For my PhD thesis I used some papers from the 1800s along with many from the 1900s to 1950s because those were when the foundation papers were published in one area I was working in.

AirBnB might benefit the customer, but can negatively impact others in the area. For example, if someone is renting out an apartment in a secure building, just giving the keys to an arbitrary someone you're decreasing everybody else&#x

This kind of stuff is why I abandoned MacPorts. In many cases, I can get by with the system software and I don't need MacPorts to install a duplicate of something. I found that it was taking up a lot of space on my drive. Given that my

Is Google only testing in California? It seems that the data for accidents was given for the whole of the US, but it should be compared to California only. I don't know if it's noticeably different or not, but I'd think that

That's not entirely true. I know that Target in Waterloo was in one of the major K-W malls that gets a lot of traffic. Even still, the few times I shopped at the Target, it was dead.

I'm not sure. I haven't looked at it in a very long time. The open source implementations I know reasonably well are: Maxima (and therefore Sage), SymPy, and Axiom. I did some work on a integration test suite for Sage before I had

There's a way to edit all instances of a variable name in Xcode already. I haven't tried it with constants, though as I usually take time to think of the names for my constants so I don't have to rename.

The problem I have is that there is at least one Matlab toolbox I haven't been able to find an open source alternative. I use parts of the System Identification toolbox, but the parts I use aren't the parts that are implemented in

I don't think so. Last I checked, the most complete implementation (at least in open source) was Axiom.

That's basically what happened. Apple wanted to go DRM-free (see Steve Job's Thoughts on Music letter) and did so as soon as they were able according to their contracts. But before they did, the publishers offered DRM-free music t
