Seriously. I want no fucking part of this. Every tedious bit of hero worship I get plastered with is only used by Reddit-at-large to "hold me to a higher standard" (which basically means "I want you to only do things that I agree with so that when you do things I disagree with I can hate-stalk you and chide you for not being a better person"). Know what's worse then half of Reddit wanting to suck your dick? A quarter of reddit wringing their hands with furrowed brow because you said something that upset their delicate sensibilities and since they wanted to suck your dick before but now they're not so sure their self-doubt turns into self-loathing and we can't have that mama would be sad so BURN THE WITCH
Let's get one thing straight:
There are genuinely good people on Reddit. People who help others every day. There have been genuinely good acts performed on Reddit. People helping anonymous strangers and hard-luck cases because they are fundamentally kind. With any luck, this post will fill up with them - we're off to a good start already.
But I am not one of those people.
I'm here for three things:
1) to openly mock rape victims
2) to troll and frustrate film aficionados
3) to get admitted narcotics traffickers back on the streets sooner
The last fucking thing I need is one of my bottomless army of concern-trolls saying "a true Reddit Hero would never have used the f-word, you horrible, horrible man." So I'll take my poop and grin and that will be that.
Deal?
Well this will be tough to top. I accidentally burned down my parents house. No one was in the house thank god, but the guilt I feel is pretty intense. It was about 10 years ago and it still makes me queasy still to just write that. Yeah yeah, it was an accident, but it is pretty much the worst accident ever. I left a candle burning in my room too close to the shelf it was sitting on, left the room for awhile, and it caught the whole shelf on fire, which spread unbelievably fast. The smoke alarm went off and I ran upstairs, but it had literally spread to the wall already. I tried to get a bucket of water, but by the time I did that it had consumed the whole room. So, it was basically time to just get the F out of the house and that was it.
Insurance basically made my parents financially whole, but things have never really been the same. They totally forgived me and were so understanding, but even though they quickly recovered and have a really nice home now, they just never quite seem to me like they are "home." Every time I think that it makes me want to curl into a ball.
Anyway, good luck topping that one.
Chomsky has been saying this for a long time, and now there is proof: Israel (and therefore the US) is punishing the Palestinians for voting the wrong way.
I knew it! I said in the original thread that something seemed fishy (why would he hide the tub in his own closet? He's supposed to be a thief, not an idiot.)
Looks like your step sister was making some plans. I mean, why the f would she put the tub in her... (step-nephew who's the same age????)'s closet? The container full of money was under a bunch of junk? Why did she put it under a bunch of junk????
Kid was planning to steal the fuck out of that, but wanted to test the security standards first. You need to lay some fucking smack down with your step-mom. That little shit tried to steal the money and pin it on your son, and that's BULLSHIT.
Do not let this drop.
I highly doubt it has anything to do with cost.
A couple things first the proprietary standards, yes MS is finally learning that corps dont want a standard for their docs that is owned by another corp that might go out of business and leave them with docs they cant open.
More importantly I think, the world has seen over the past few years that american corps will do absolutely anything the government asks of them with little complaint legality be damned.
The FEAR IS NSA BACKDOORS.
Even our allies, the brits and the israelis, replace the software we give them in our military equipment with open source. They arent trying to save money, they dont want the US to be able to shut down the plane they bought, mid flight.
Though in many cases, YOU CAN SAVE A SHIT TON with open source.
just replacing office with open office in a small office can save you a ton. And yes MS office is nicer, but they both get the job done
some source, ISrael, brits and australians want the software for our f-35s
>Access to the F-35’s software source code remains a live issue for the Israelis, as it has been with the Australians [PDF], British, and others.
the russians on the other hand, sell the source code with their mig sales.
Sous vide cooked meats are deceptive. First of all, cooked to the same temperature they will tend to look redder that meat cooked with a more traditional method.
Second, pathogen destruction begins at 130°F, which would be just on the upper end of rare for beef. A piece of meat held at 130°F for a little under two hours is considered pasteurized by the FDA and (IIRC) safe for consumption by individuals with compromised immune systems. At 135°F the required time drops to 36 minutes.
That piece of meat, cooked sous vide, would look as red or redder than the burger the OP posted. I've cooked beef and lamb at 135°F that looked uncooked on the inside, but had great texture and taste.
It's pretty cool stuff.
Original study citation: Patterns of widespread decline in North American bumble bees; Sydney A. Camerona, Jeffrey D. Loziera, James P. Strange, Jonathan B. Koch, Nils Cordesa, Leellen F. Solterd, and Terry L. Griswold; November 2010 PNAS.
It was only 4 cherry picked species, and only those with high Nosema bombi infections + low genetic diversity within their populations. Already we have a problem because populations at risk of decline from ongoing high rates of infection are inherently genetically slim.
The study and model are so complex that we (a small, admittedly self-righteous group of entomologists, climate modelers and ecologists) spent over 2 hours today trying to understand how they had "corrected" 100-year-old data with unknown sampling methods and how they constructed their model from the historical data.
Hysteria about native bee decline pays my stipend and does generate interest in their conservation, so I'll keep my criticisms brief. There is little conclusive cause for alarm at this point, and this study is not conclusive or even reliable at this point.
Headline is just a little misleading:
"And while some parts of the world get to celebrate Public Domain Day this year with the freeing of works by F. Scott Fitzgerald, Paul Klee, Leon Trotsky, Walter Benjamin and others, here in the US, we come up empty yet again."
So works did enter the public domain, just not in the US.

The animator, Anthony F. Schepperd, has another music video titled Wail To God for the band Ape School. The animation is similar at times and is NSFW (literally mountains and mountains of breasts).
Did you know that The Great Gatsby was written in 1925 by F. Scott Fitzgerald? It's considered one of the best American novels ever written and is on Time's greatest 100 novels list.
It's still boring though.
John/Huggybear:
This is Chad from Austin's Pizza Call Center. I'm glad you enjoyed my doodle enough to post it on Reddit.
I was having a bad day at work last night, but the request on your online order made my night. Figured I should oblige such a creative request the best I could. I posted the doodle on my FaceBook account (www.facebook.com/groundxero) shortly before e-mailing it to you. I figured I might get an e-mail back from you and a few comments on my post. Little did I realize by the time I came in to work tonight the thing would literally have gone viral.
I want to assure naysayers that this was REAL, not a faked occurrence, nor was it some elaborate marketing ploy by Austin's Pizza. (Although upper management, I'm sure, is appreciative of the publicity.)
I would, however, like to take this opportunity to capitalize on this unforeseen event with a little shameless self-promotion of my art through our website, www.SCABFARM.com.
I literally just signed up for this account tonight when I learned about all the buzz about this, so I hope I'm not violating any Reddit rules by self promoting.
Thanks again, John, for making my night at work a little more entertaining, and keep those requests coming!
Sincerely, Chad F. (aka Xero)
I think you're overlooking quite a lot of people here. Mainly Wesley Snipes: A) He refers to himself in the third person B) He has a long "magical" hair growing from his ear that he refuses to cut and that has to be digitally removed from his movies C) While filming Blade, he stayed in character ON AND OFF set and would make his wife and kids refer to him by his character name D) He's a believer in that bullshit Egyptian "I am god" religion E) Refuses to pay taxes F) He once beat Halle Berry so badly that she is almost deaf in one ear G) Just fucking look at him.
It's too bad. He was certainly a good programmer. I'm not too surprised, though. He probably had no idea how reliant everybody would become on his mod, combined with the crazy amount of pressure he received over the holidays, the fact that he's 15, how hard it is to stay on top of such a volatile environment like Minecraft is. All we can hope is that bukkit will turn out to be all it is advertised to be.
My god! They're everywhere! How long have you known about this??? [NSFW if you can't figure it out]
I see your Bill Hicks and raise you a George Carlin:
"Now, there's one thing you might have noticed I don't complain about: politicians. Everybody complains about politicians. Everybody says they suck. Well, where do people think these politicians come from? They don't fall out of the sky. They don't pass through a membrane from another reality. They come from American parents and American families, American homes, American schools, American churches, American businesses and American universities, and they are elected by American citizens. This is the best we can do folks. This is what we have to offer. It's what our system produces: Garbage in, garbage out. If you have selfish, ignorant citizens, you're going to get selfish, ignorant leaders. Term limits ain't going to do any good; you're just going to end up with a brand new bunch of selfish, ignorant Americans. So, maybe, maybe, maybe, it's not the politicians who suck. Maybe something else sucks around here... like, the public. Yeah, the public sucks. There's a nice campaign slogan for somebody: 'The Public Sucks. F*ck Hope.'"
To those who are inevitably going to come in here and say "OMG WHEN DID MINECRAFT GET UNICORNS‽", this is not in the game normally. It's the result of a mod called Mo' Creatures.
I'll leave this up because I'd be interested if anyone has anything to say about it, but a little more inspection has me thinking this is actually unlikely: Pine Bluff is 70 miles from Beebe and is most definitely down river.
People, there are a lot of ignorant posts here.
First - What goes into Medical costs is determined by Health and Human Services.
Second - Very few (if any) health care companies have an MLR below 80%. Most operate around 83-87% across all their products.
Third - Profits for health care companies are in the 3-8% range.
When you look at the profits of for-profit hospitals and drug companies, you all might start to get the picture of why our healthcare costs are so high. Oh, and quit smoking, drinking, and eat a f*cking salad. That alone could reduce our premiums by above 50% (80% of costs in the US are caused by 5 conditions which are primarily lifestyle driven).
Yeah, bring on the down votes. But most of you here are just as uninformed as the right wing people you bitch about.
I would say most of the weight issues were achived by cutting your carbohydrates. I don't believe cutting out red meat had anything to do with it. If so very little.
Looking at your list (simplified):
-red meat = -protein -fat -soda = -carbs -water -white bread = -carbs -white pasta = -carbs -white rice = -carbs +whole grain = +carbs +vitamin complexes +veggies = +water +carbs +vitamin complexes +mineral complexes +lean meat = +protein +fish = +protein +fats +water = +water = -p-f-c-w-c-c-c+c+v+w+c+v+m+p+p+f+w = 2v+p+m+w-2c
Well done.
I love the marine thing. An over hyped marine lived near us and came after myself and my brother, 12 and 13 because our football went near his house. My dad who had a stroke, not much use of his left side, came out and invited him over to "discuss" the problem at hand. The punk had veins sticking out of his neck and was screaming at my dad.
Pops, leaning on a stick, leg swept the marine dork, shifted his weight onto his bad leg and stick, stomped the guys solar plexus in what had to be three seconds. The hooya was left writhing and crying and gasping for air. We were too blown away to even cheer. Pops casually turned and limped back into our house. Before we get all marine-y here my daughter (dad rolling over in grave) was a corpsman in Iraq and Afghanistan.
God bless all the tough dedicated Marines out there who shut the F*#k up and fight the fight. In a recent interview another leather jacket wearing feauxstud, Bush, with a simpleton's smirk on his Alfred E. Newman, said "it was real hard for him to make the "deshishon" to go "agin" his "free market" principals(?) and do the TARP thing. So, that and the two wars Bush initiated along with the free market "thing" has left us as a financial colony of China and emptied the coffers...Obviously this blowhard needs to learn how to read.
Like my dad used to say The army does the fighting, the marines get the credit and the navy gets the pay. One caveat, the old man was a staff sergeant under Patton during WWII.

If you still have the computer then I would do almost exactly what Liar_tuck suggested (minus the f-bomb). I wouldn't argue, I would simply smile, say "ok", uninstall everything and hand them back the computer. Simply say, "I'm sorry you to feel this way" No explanation. Nothing. You stated you run a business and customers (acquaintances in your case) change their minds often, especially when it comes to prices.
Almost a year ago, she defended Limbaugh for saying it.
> Rush Limbaugh was using satire ... . I didn't hear Rush Limbaugh calling a group of people whom he did not agree with 'f-ing retards,' and we did know that Rahm Emanuel, as has been reported, did say that. There is a big difference there.
I have watched quite a few episodes, but the part they never seem to show (unless I missed that episode) is HOW DO THEY MAKE ALL THE MACHINES THAT MAKE THE REST OF THE STUFF? Those automated factories are f**king amazing!
Most companies who buy forestry in the coming sale will only be granted permission to fell if the trees are replanted in a sustainable manner.
There are 600 acres of privately owned woodland at the back of my house. It gets felled in 2-3 acre blocks with each block being replanted shortly after felling.
Example. It's really not that big a deal.
it's a turn. it's a fast embellishment, where you play the note above, the note itself, the note below, and then the note itself again. in this example, you would play F-A-D-B-A-F GFEF (the last 4 denote the symbol in question). In this example you would probably play them as fast as 32nd notes, so that you play all 4 notes in the time span of an 8th note holding of course the F for the final 8th note.
according to the link I posted (ctrl-f "gloves"):
You have the right to ask a Security Officer to change her/his gloves during the physical inspection of your accessible property, before performing a physical search (pat-down,) or any time a Security Officer handles your footwear. So thats a total of 3 possible glove changes, I believe.
Holy Crap!

Just installed a phpBB testbed locally out of curiosity to see how it handles the ids in the url, eg:

Here is what an amino acid looks like.
The 'N' group is converted to urea and excreted.
Everything else undergoes gluconeogenesis and turns into glucose. (And that R can be f-ing huge on some amino acids)
Getting glucose from protein is going to be better than getting straight glucose in the diet since protein has a higher Thermic Effect of Food (so more calories needed to digest it) and even so, it seems to have less of a correlation with body fat levels than the other two macronutrients in excess, but it can still contribute to body fat levels.
Honestly, putting the ridiculous amount of retard that is expressed in your post, let me give u a fucking explanation. Air cools as it rises. At a cruising altitude for a jet - 39,000 feet - air temperature is maybe -40C/F. At that temperature, the air can hold maybe a gram or two of water vapor. When the air coming out of jet engine, at around 1000F hits it, a lot of weird shit happens. The air coming out of the engine has been immensely compressed and heated up. The first thing that happens when it comes out is that it cools at an extreme rate. When this air cools, the compressed water vapor cannot be held in it anymore (look up what relative humidity is). Thus, the water vapor condenses as there is not enough room in the air for it to float around. there are your fucking contrails, twat.

Congrats dude! I was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma during summer break between my junior and senior years of high school. Been in remission now since March of '03 and still going strong. I had a cane made by a metal shop to use while I was going through treatment; has a gear shift knob for a top and say's "[email protected]$K Cancer!" on the side. I'll go find it and take some pictures.
Just going to leave this here..
Firsttimerwtf - look familiar?
There is a bijective map between the natural numbers and the rational numbers, but this map is not a homomorphism. That is, we may have f : Q -> N, but we won't have f(p*q) = f(p)*f(q) and f(p + q) = f(p) + f(q), where the first operations are in Q and the second are in N.
It occurs to me that maybe you mean, "forget about the operations in N and just use whatever they are from Q to force it into a field." Well, you could do that sure, but that's a little silly because then all you have is the rationals where every element has a different name. There's not really any point to it.
When people say the naturals don't form a field, they mean the naturals with the operations they've been endowed with, not some arbitrary operations you give them.
Glad to see the other side on this issue. My g/f had one (before I met her) and she doesn't regret it for a second, and said she'd do it again. Her only problem was that the asshole she was with at the time didn't go with her, so she had to ask a friend for a ride home. Makes me wish I'd have known her long ago.

I always thoughts it was gamefacks, like gamefacts, because it contains facts (walkthroughs) about games. You've got to realize, this was in the .com bubble, when rushing to get any domain, legible or not, was a race where a lot of big sites had names with little rhyme or reason, so gamefacts spelled gamefaqs made a lot of sense to me. Their logo didn't really help to distinguish this difference too, since the lettering was all uppercase and the same height.
Then one day a friend says, "You know it's Game-F-A-Qs, right?". Oh boy, did I feel dumb.
Knowing what key center(s) the chords create is a good start. It does not always tell you exactly what scales or notes to use because of stylistic variations.
E A F Em
There is no single key that fits all these chords. There are at least two keys.
First let's look at E and A. You can fit both into one key.
E and A can be the "I" and "IV" in the key of E major. E and A can also be the "V" and "I" in the key of A major.
Depending on the style you could start with either the E or A major scale or the E or A major pentatonic scale.
E major: E F# G# A B C# D# E major pentatonic: E F# G# B C#
A major: A B C# D E F# G# A major pentatonic: A B C# E F#
I like the second choice (A major or A major pentatonic) because the upcoming F chord does not fit as easily with an E tonal center, even though that's the first chord. E as the tonal center would require a modal approach in the next two bars, which is not the first thing you want to learn. (It'll be the second thing!)
Now to the chords F and Em.
These may be the "vi" and "V" chords in A minor.
So to get a really simple solid approach to playing in a non-jazzy way over the progression, try just playing:
A major or major pentatonic for the first two chords, then A minor or minor pentatonic for the second two chords.
There are many other ways to do it, but this is a good start that lets you concentrate on your phrasing rather than jumping through lots of scales in your head.
The source of this thinking is knowing how to find all the chords in a key center. This is done by harmonizing the scale.
You create the chords I-vii by stacking 3rds above each note.
If the scale is A major: A B C# D E F# G#
it produces these chords: I A C# E (A) ii B D F# (Bm) iii C# E G# (C#m) IV D F# A (D) V E G# B (E) vi F# A C# (F#m) vii G# B D (G#dim)

I'm certain his g/f is wonderful - and I have a great deal of respect for her for being able to keep up with him. You seem to be stuck in the notion that my life somehow revolves around this guy.
Nah. All I did was share a story. Nothing violating going on here.
Anyone looking to see this guy, he stands on the southbound exit ramp #112 Hudson Street. He tends to stand on the left side so you'd have to be ready to turn left to talk to him. There's not really any good places to park if you want to have him do anything longer than a few seconds and you're not prepared for it. I'm attaching a link to the location for anyone trying to find him: http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=columbus+ohio&sll=37.055177,-95.668945&sspn=1.529944,1.972046&ie=UTF8&hq=&hnear=Columbus,+Franklin,+Ohio&ll=40.014984,-82.994839&spn=0.000717,0...
Shit like this makes me sad for all those that don't see this as a possible choice in their lives. My g/f and I would happily build something like this together and both enjoy it quite a bit. Neither of us are fat, ugly or any of those stereo types. There are woman out there that love this shit as much as we do guys but they're usually hiding the same way we all are.
I once had my hair cutting shears in my carryon (had driven to my destination and was flying home), and the TSA guy took them out and said right to my face "Oh, my girlfriend will love these, she just graduated from beauty school." And he was dead serious. At that time (and maybe still) they had self-service machines where you could mail the items to yourself instead of having them confiscated. It cost me $35, but there was no way I was going to let that little f-er have my shears for his girlfriend.
Someone posted something like this showing 800gb and a bunch of asslickers were claiming it was 'illigitimate' use.
I have a friend who was using a cellular data service as her primary internet and she had a 50 gigabyte cap. But she still managed to hit it just watching youtube videos. 25 sounds horrible.
The other day I calculated that it works out to about 76kbits per second, barely faster then a 56k modem over time -- so the amount you could download is only a little bit more then what you could download with a regular modem going 24/7, if you didn't want to hit your cap.
Total BS.
I also calculated that Rogers (who I think had sent the other letter) Gave about 30% of it's annual income back to investors as dividends, instead of investing and updating it's infrastructure. With a cap that low, they're probably wanting to use the same infrastructure they setup during the modem days.
I looked up Primus Canada's wikipedia page and apparently they went bankrupt a few years ago. Oh, and:
> As of June 2010, the Better Business Bureau has given Primus Canada's Nova Scotia office an "F" rating for a number of issues including failure to respond adequately to customer complaints initiated through their service. The "F" rating is the lowest possible rating given by the BBB and refers to customer service over the past 36 months.
YAY FOR LOCAL MONOPOLIES!!!!
Probably because it's an exact repost of the AP's story... talk about preconceived notions!
With C# experience, you might want to look into XNA. I've heard good things about it, and it'll help you narrow down your google search, giving you much straighter answers.
Do I ever! Everyone knows that Meyer was a Washington DC socialite, painter, former wife of CIA official Cord Meyer and close friend of US president John F. Kennedy who was noted for her great beauty and social skills.
Heavier objects feel more gravitational force, according to F=m x g, where m is mass and g is the gravitational field strength. But we also know that heavier objects accelerate more slowly under a given force, according to Newton's second law: a=F/m. So if you take both of those into account, you'll find that the acceleration is always just g. This is called the equivalence principle.
I'm not sure what you're talking about with the spinning objects.

WTF, why would you even give a fuck when somebody calls out your novelty account on the internet? Why don't you just ignore that shit and keep on drawing/animating good stuff? It's not like people don't want to see this anymore.
Instead you bore everyone with this whiny post. You'll get an A for effort and F for actually knowing what a novelty account is about.

This link doesn't really prove what you say it does, or if it does, I can't find it. Even at lower temperatures it's possible to get burns, it just doesn't happen anywhere near as quickly or as badly.
None of the links there show an actual temperature, they just say "burns happened, so obviously their temperature was just as high and it was equally dangerous". Faulty logic.
> The National Coffee Association of U.S.A. recommend that coffee is brewed at 195-205°F and maintained at 180-185°F.
That's a bit of a misquote. Let me get the actual quote:
> If it will be a few minutes before it will be served, the temperature should be maintained at 180 - 185 degrees Fahrenheit
They don't at any point say what the temperature it should be served at is.
You could also (reasonably, I think) claim there's a difference between coffee that seconds ago was brewed at home by hand then placed in a ceramic coffee mug and put on the table next to you, and coffee that is served for immediate consumption in a styrofoam cup to someone driving. Namely, the second one should probably be a lot cooler than the first one.
I.T. as well here, got laid off last year.
They tried to do it sneakily by asking other I.T. how much time it would take to fully lock me out, knowing that not only do I have access to everything, I also designed and implemented the whole rig. Turns out I'm a rather friendly guy and getting along really well with the employee I was managing at the time, so he told me what they were planning...
I sent an email to the CEO that night, probably about 2 pages long, explaining how I knew I was to be laid off, why I was ok with it, what went wrong with the company itself (downsizing for various reasons) and requesting to meet the next day.
He replied. We met, it was cordial and honest. I never really spoke much in the 4 years I worked there, so I told him everything about everything. I think it humbled him a little; He didn't seem like he expected to have a friendly and honest chat with somebody who didn't seem to give a flying F about getting laid off.
Couple of months later I contracted for them at 3 times my former employee hourly rate, yet we both got our money worth.
China does not see US Air Force as a threat - any war would require basing in Korea or Japan, Guam is too far away for fighter battles. Korea and Japan are not going to go to the mat over Taiwan. The US Navy is the threat, and they don't have F-22's and the F-35's they one day may get aren't made for playing at Mach 1.6 and 60K feet (not to say the Navy doesn't have SAMs).
This is all about pride and pushing the carriers far enough from the mainland to render them afraid to risk.
*depending on refueling and the 'legs' of the J-20, it could be a threat to AF bombers in Guam. TBD.
Disagree. The scene in the car-shop is easily the funniest scene in that film. "Well, we got your car back, ya it looks like it was left in a park overnight and some homeless dudes had an orgy in it. Also we think a mother racoon birthed a litter in the back, ya, her placenta blew out all over the back window. We also got this letter from the homeless guys 'Thanks for the F-Shack, Dirty Rob and the Gang' - Frankly we've never seen so much bodily and seminal fluid deposited into one location"
I never had a gf, so I'm not the one who you should listen to, but this is my view on game theory: They are not step-by-step instructions, they are just a general guide.
It's not
It's more like:
There's always going to be SOMEBODY out there who doesn't think ________ (in your case not giving oral) is a dealbreaker.
I, however, am a 25/f who thinks it's a dealbreaker if a guy doesn't perform oral. I ended things with a guy a couple months ago because he won't go down on girls. It's not that I couldn't live without oral, but as someone said above it's more a red flag of a general closed-minded attitude toward sex that I don't want to deal with. I want to find someone I can spend the better portion of my life with without getting tired of sex with each other, and if he's not even willing to explore oral I can't imagine what other things he'd refuse to explore and how quickly our sex life would dwindle.
>"It always frustrates me a bit when women don't keep track of their cycles, then suddenly there's a problem and they have no idea when their last period was," laments Gerald F. Joseph Jr., M.D., medical director for women's services at St. John's Regional Health Center in Springfield, Mo. "That information can be so important -- for a missed period, pregnancy, tubal pregnancy -- having a good menstrual history can start the doctor thinking in the right realm."
>I can't believe you skipped Linear Algebra!
Well it wasn't like "fuck this! I ain't takin' Linear Algebra!" It was more like I wanted to take the Wavelets and Fourier Analysis class (it was at the right time, and no Linear Algebra class was), and Linear Algebra was a prerequisite, so I was like "okay, I'll study that in preparation." By the way, Fourier Analysis is a really cool class with applications in a ton of fields. I would suggest taking it, especially if you like Linear Algebra.
>every function can be written as the sum of an even and and odd function
Hmm.... so the even function is (f(x)+f(-x))/2 and the odd function is (f(x)-f(-x))/2? That's kind of similar to wavelet analysis, where you break a function into its high frequency components and low frequency components (and do a lot of other cool stuff).

it looks like he's using actual properties of the transistor for math at some point in the process, rather than just for logic. I wish I could see the details of the design
> I believe one of the reasons is that practice of the ideas is limited to a very small set of people: those select electrical engineers, who do chip design, in the analog domain, primarily using sub-threshold CMOS circuits.
The statement about chip design in the analog domain suggests that at some point he's using non max or ground outputs from transistors

Minimum wage? Ha, not even. Likely an unpaid intern. That said getting no reply generally means you are doing something wrong.
Best practices for getting a reply, A) write to your rep. It is amazing the number of people confused about this B) be registered, and registered at the right address, unless you are in k-12 they don't care about unregistered people. C) Be polite D) write to the local office, this is key, a lot less people write to the local, and the people there are much more used to actually doing something E) Write to the lowest level that has power to handle your issue. Your congressman is much more accountable to you than your senator (most of the time) F) Write, don't email, don't phone, don't fax G) Never ever send a form letter even in part. It gets you put on lists. H) Do your research, a note that they are on a particular committee, or acknowledgement that they aren't, will get you far. The people sorting your letters are almost all policy wonks, they intimately know committees, past actions, and friendships. Yet, they constantly have a stream of invective over stuff that is insane, not even their bosses problem, and arguing what is already the congresscritter's position. Showing that you follow politics enough to know your elected representative outside of what TV says is by far the best thing you can ever do (hell it is almost exactly what lobbyists do, and they are viciously effective)

YES. Goodness gracious people. I always explain it like this:
"Oh, you say you're not sure if Obama's an American citizen or not? Fine, I can clear this up for you in two seconds. First, do you believe that the United States government probably has an office somewhere of people whose jobs are to determine whether or not a Presidential candidate is valid as an American citizen?" (They answer, "Yes," or "I guess so," etc.) "Alright, now; is Obama the President of the United States?" (They answer, "Yes.") "THEN I GUESS HE'S A F***ING AMERICAN CITIZEN."

Reading will help. Any genre, but someone with a bit of flair. F Scott Fitzgerald, George Bernard Shaw, Oscar Wilde, Douglas Adams, Andrea Camilleri etc. You don't want to rip them off, but it's a good start
Much better things than happened to me. Looking him up on facebook, he's married and owns a website. He had parents that always encouraged him to be successful (and were relatively successful themselves), and bought him whatever he wanted for his hobbies/education. He wasn't incredibly smart, but he took himself seriously and did everything well. Whereas I was always interested in learning just for the curiosity and saw no reason to work for an A when a B would do.
There was actually some amount of conflict between our parents, because his parents saw me and my parents as losers. I think he always had that viewpoint as well, but I was convenient for him because I was relatively tolerant and agreeable. I remember one car ride together when he listed all the different things that his parents had that mine didn't (i.e. big screen TV, 386 when all I had was C-64, etc.). At one point during this conversation I identified some logical fallacy that he made, and his mom at this point said, "yeah, you really slipped up there." Like, you know, she really wanted him to be good at putting people down.
He was my only friend from 3rd to 7th grade, though. TMI, I'm sure.
EDIT: This might be the best place to link to my favorite short story about random penis display.
I can't remember the name of the town, I think it started with a Y, so it might have been Young, Yass or Yamba (NSW) but we stopped for petrol, and there were three little Aboriginal kids, couldn't have been older than 5 or 6, riding around on their little bikes, swearing at each other like wharfies.
"Where are you goin', ya f*@in' little c*#t?" "Ahhh, ya f*@kin' c*#t."
I had the eerie feeling this is how others spoke to them, as well as how they spoke to each other. Couldn't get out of there soon enough.
Edit: It wasn't a Y, it was a W. It's Wilcannia. I remembered after reading a comment further down about Wilcannia. Sorry Young, Yass and Yamba!

I think most people underestimate how much work is required to run a site like this. Building it isn't enough. You need to be resourceful, clever, and a little bit ballsy to get it into the right hands and have it spread like crazy (at least at first). It has very little to do with the quality of the site or the code or the polish. Look at craigslist, for example.

I didn't read through many comments on TL, but I didn't see one obvious thing mentioned. It's noon time right now in Seoul, and according to wunderground.com it's 21°F / -6°C right now! Who wants to be in a big gymnasium/studio in 6-8 hours when it's even worse? Rain tomorrow, snow the next day, windchill factor, etc. Maybe I'm just a spoiled Californian, but damn I sure wouldn't want to be walking around Seoul right now.
THB I've never understood how GSL can throw up these big prizepools, I wonder how much is bankrolled by Blizz since they announced the 170K prizepools for 2010 before they even had Sony as a sponsor.

Yes, you are.
A fever is indeed a way to slow down the spread of pathogens from the source, it is triggered by your immune cells once they eat/kill a pathogen. This is a way your body fights, and you shouldn't interfere unless your fever is at least 102 -- and you'll usually feel like you want to die when it's this high.
But 99 or 100 degrees F? Save the tylenol for later.

Well when we went to Cancun that was our "date", but the deal was I got to bring 1 person w/ me, as did everyone else. So the girl I picked (her b/f called her cell while we were filming, we ended up calling each other names over the phone... he called me a cornball... I laughed at him on national television for being cheesy and lame) ended up bringing a damn dude to Cancun. MTV ended up sending 8 of us to Cancun collectively (the girl that got to pick a guy came as well).
So yea, long story short, got really drunk in Mexico, the chick I picked was no where to be found so I ended up hooking up with the girl from the other episode (http://www.free-movie-page.com/tv-10854-Room-Raiders/season-0-episode-1 : http://i.imgur.com/WtYR8.jpg) while the guy she picked ran around getting mixed up in Mexican cocaine and transsexual women (I shit you not).
Fun side note, in the filming of the episode they still wanted us to have our "date footage" so on the 3rd day of the trip I hadn't seen my girl, I'd hooked up with the girl from the other episode, and still had to play along like I was having fun with this chick. So the director was like "just walk down the beach, have fun, whatever" so I decide it's time for payback. Since this chick brought a dude with her I was going to have some fun. We're running down the beach, I pick her up over my shoulder run her into about thigh deep water and chuck her. Well, revenge was far more sweet than I had expected... she landed on a jelly fish and got stung in her vag.
Anyway, great trip, a midget in a night club forced me to chug tequila... I still can't drink tequila.

SoCalCove, your spot on with the assessment that it is a test bed. The Chinese are playing catch up to the west and 20 yrs. is a long time to catch up to. But Josephat has forgotten is that the F-22 is capable of IN FLIGHT refueling and from Guam it's a very short distance. The practical application here for the F-22 is to deploy from Guan over Taiwan, gain air superiority in the first 24 hrs. (knocking down EVERY Chinese air asset that steps across the Straits of Formosa all from Guam. The safety net would be tactical air strips on Taiwan in case of emergencies like fuel shortages. All the while the NAVE carrier assets provide more air coverage, it's called a LAYERED offense.
bi F here, in a 15 year relationship w/my bi GF. the only thing that our 'bi'-ishness contributes to our relationship is that we can both gush over hot guys. sure, we experimented together with guys in the past, but in the end, the label doesn't mean shit. we are committed to each other and that is all that's important.
Actually, there's good evidence that the code itself underwent natural selection. When you compare all of the possible codes from nucleotides containing the four bases, the one that organisms use is crazy fault tolerant. Life Ascending covers this and many more very cool but little known things about the evolution of our current wave of life.
Not saying you're wrong - all modern life comes from a single (or very few closely related) self-replicating systems. However, it's likely that previous to this there were other replicating systems which used different codes, and the one from which we're all descended happened to use our code and therefore out-competed all the others because our code is so fault tolerant.
I thought the draw-off was a good idea, as did many other Redditors as seen by the large numbers of votes. While SIDT's response may have come across as "classy" to many, I saw it as a subtle way to say "go F yourself" which was a bit uncalled for so I can totally understand this response.
That being said, I enjoy everyone's drawings and sketches that I see on Reddit and look forward to enjoying many more in the future. Keep up the good work - it is appreciated.
I'm no pro, but ESDF is way superior: It means you can feel the home-position bump on the F, and keeps you correctly aligned for typing chat messages. Also, every time you select a weapon with the numeric keys, you're enhancing your touch-typing skills instead of eroding them.

Camping then multiplied 1,978 by 365.2422 days - the number of days in each solar year, not to be confused with a calendar year.
Next, Camping noted that April 1 to May 21 encompasses 51 days. Add 51 to the sum of previous multiplication total, and it equals 722,500.
> So you're saying if I could, theoretically, shit gold, nobody would want the gold in Italy
No, he's not saying that. To start a business you need a good idea and there's almost always some amount of risk involved (except in imaginary situations like shitting gold). He's saying that banks do not want that kind of risk in today's economy.
> f anything, there's a community of thousands of unemployed young people. If anything, they could be providing services to each other. The lawyer could help other young people form their own corporations (in one of at least five different countries, presumably), the psychiatrist could help young people with their stress in the job market, or with job counseling, etc.
That again is counter to reality. If none of those young people have any money to start a business then they just can't start one. Unless we go back to a bartering society which seems to be what you are recommending. Impractical.

That is quite possible, but more not the only reason. Aging population, stagnant economy and Berlusconi Mafia (Italian government and media) are not helping either.

aaaand END SCENE
Me too. I take everything to mean no one can like me ever, because I'm always going to do something to f*ck it up. My beau helped me with that, though, unknowingly. Partly because he doesn't pick up the same body language things I'm imagining, and people still talk to him, want to hang out with him, think he's fun. So when I think someone doesn't like me, I try to keep an open mind - even if I'm still nervous around them. So far, no one has broken my heart or shattered my confidence.
