   normally i'd agree but i don't see it out of line at all. just take a look at all the Herculean efforts that Republicans have made in the past two years to reduce the ability for people to vote

   "Symbolic-numeric" could be BS, but I'm pretty sure it's not. What might be triggering your BS alarm is the "symbolic." However this word has a precise meaning, especially in Mathematica et al's case. It basically means "replacement rules

   if it's like Mathematica vs MATLAB, then it will be much less unpleasant to use. one of the reasons i like Mathematica is the consistent respect for UI/UX

   I have a similar problem but it doesn't stop me from being a good programmer. What it means for me is that when I sit down to work on a large project, it can take me a while to get up to speed with it as I reload/reaquire the knowledge. And

   Do you know if Mathematica does what you're describing? Mathematica functions and calculations can take arbitrary objects as arguments. Example: http://blog.wolfram.com/2008/12/01/the-incredible-convenienc... And arbitrary objects can tak

    that's my phone as well. no problems so far. $150 up-front cost is great. but mostly i like the $25/month no-contract with unlimited data/text/web. i really wanted the Dell Streak, but that was a $75/month MINIMUM contract

    i don't know about the religion stuff, but the focus thing does sound very silly. it reminds me of a certain philosopher - Kant maybe - who described "the self" in a way that was obviously characteristic of his specific personality, but cou

    one thing to recognize is that modern games generally have a lot of high-cost content. this is stuff that teams of 100+ people have to work on for 2+ years to make. so in that sense it would be really surprising if modern games didn't ap

    other than me using 'ce' instead of 'cw', it isn't any different. this stuff is very muscle memory-ish. the location of the keys is not really a factor except for finger collisions such as 'cw'... which is the only such collision i remember

    i don't see how this has anything to do with law, beyond the mechanics of setting up an account of this kind. BP could have refused if popular opinion wasn't so strongly against BP, the president's demands would have been meaningless, so th
