   This isn't studying, but memorizing. Studying is when you have to think critically about a subject and understand it, whereas with memorizing you just have to remember the magic phrase or word that get's you points on a test. I find that ha

   Yeah and I am very jealous. Fortunately I got into a grad class on symbolic logic which is where I'm getting all of my theory right now.

   "what they teach you has almost ZERO application outside of their ivy-covered walls" I am of the opinion that the problem is they don't focus enough on theory . CS Theory classes at my university are 4000 level courses. Until then, you'r

   This is probably the most inane and anti-intellectual thing I've read in a while.

   On Ubuntu, the new version of Chrome mentioned in the article moves the close/minimize buttons to the left side if you have it configured that way in metacity.

   Don't you think it's kind of a dangerous thing when you start saying you deserve something by virtue of the fact you perceive it to be a cultural norm? "I work hard but was laid off from my job. America is all about rewarding people for wor

   Yeah, you have to work hard and be intelligent to reap the benefits of society. That sounds like a feature, not a bug.

   Anarchism only works if everyone is honest and peaceful. Not everyone is honest and peaceful. Therefore anarchism is a naive governmental/philosophical system. Also, on the internet, people steal shit from each other, hack in and destroy

   I do those things because I enjoy them and they benefit me. Money isn't the only motivator.

    That's a false dichotomy.

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but your main point is that capitalism takes as an axiom that people are naturally selfish, while anarcho-socialism takes as an axiom that people naturally are altruistic. So I have a question: What motivates you to

    Polygamy was part of Jewish dogma at one point but the Rabbis came up with an interpretation that forbade it. http://www.chabad.org/library/article_cdo/aid/558598/jewish/...

    If you can name all the stars of Jersey Shore and talk about the latest episode, that's something you should be incredibly embarrassed about.

    When I was younger, I could never understand the purpose of stocks that don't give off dividends. I just could not wrap my head around the concept of buying something for the sole purpose of expecting it to increase in value. It still boggl

    Perhaps. But I don't think you are very familiar with history. I've read many accounts of soldiers, including American soldiers, killing random people because their friends were killed. In general, such people do not face discipline. In fa

    I'm glad to hear that your violent revenge would stop just short of murder. Brave talk from a man who hasn't lost much I never said I wouldn't kill you if you killed my friends and family. Murdering random people in response to your act

    Please read my comment carefully. I said the US government started a war that killed a million Iraqis. The sectarian violence of which you speak was not a significant issue before the war. Your use of the word 'exterminated' makes it soun

    From where are you getting your data? AFAIK sectarian violence has killed many, many more Muslims than the US. And terrorist organizations existed before the US invaded Iraq. EDIT: I gather from your comment that you believe terrorism commi

    Terror organizations may primarily recruit from impoverished Muslim societies but they don't always. I have not researched this with any rigour, but there do seem to be quite a few Muslims from wealthy Western nations that have joined terro

    I don't understand this at all . This seems kind of messed up in the same way that paying someone to be your friend violates the tenets of friendship. However, the fact that this idea is being so well received makes me feel really awesome

    Have you ever used jQuery? $(".someclass").onClick(function() { $(this).doSomething(); }); Notice you're passing in a function to a function and `this` is a free variable. Spend a week programming in a functional languag
