None of that is like dealing with 0/1 arrays. Almost everything you encounter in real life starts with 1, not 0. If anything it's the 0 based array that should be consider "wrong" and the cause of so many errors. But we

Yes, I believe you, I meant I don't remember what the latency was.

It is pretty odd that a drink of concentrated simple carbohydrates/sugar would be taken before going to bed.

What is your concern? Code beauty? What kind of programmer can't deal with converting between 0 and 1 based arrays?

I will definitely try this because I have trouble with all other voice chat services including Skype, WhatsApp and Hangouts. Often one of those three will work but not always. But the most annoying problem with any internet voice chat is no

org-mode is wonderful and exporting is a great feature. But it's more about using LaTeX as a convenient way to get a typeset PDF. But I've never successfully completed a "real" paper or book using just org-mode. I always

I can't see how it would have a positive effect. HIV infection rates in the gay community have shot up in recent years unfortunately as people have become complacent with condoms. Without the risk of pregnancy one can only assume the s

You've never had a vending machine or self-service checkout reject a pound coin before? I've held ones which are noticeable lighter and more worn than a real one. You've just never really paid attention.

It is more beautiful (IMO) with "text-align: justify" on the paragraphs.

I've not seen a single PAL DVD with a multi-channel MPEG-2 soundtrack. Even a stereo AAC soundtrack is rare. DTS is much more likely to be found, in fact. The really interesting thing about AC-3 is how it is stored on a film reel. Back

Is there anything popular which does not have a large amount of criticism directed towards it? Anything at all?

This looks nice but, as others have pointed out, it's mostly wrong to a mathematician. Yes, programming languages are already wrong (assignment should be <-, equality should be =, functions should be called subroutines etc.), but at

They might not be making the decisions but they are the only ones who can affect them. How can foreigners demand that the US government changes its policy?

That's very cool... Some years ago I wrote my own multiple-precision arithmetic library. I implemented a lot of it in assembly so that I could access the carry bit and do full-word multiplication etc. I studied GMP and realised that my
