    I'm much more excited about Chrome OS than Android. You get a full featured browser as your default environment, not some weird descendant of Palm. I do appreciate widgets and such…

    I'll one up you. Everyone who wants to get straight married must first be gay married for 5 years. Radical.

    If you mean how women were property and polygamy was cool, then sure it's thousands of years old. Marriage, as it exists today, is very different.

    Please, you are being ridiculous. I would tell you that you mostly produce self-righteous bile to your face or anywhere else. Do you say data or 'STFU' to people's face? You're arr…

    You may think you are. Far out. Why you think you can violate basic social norms, while others apparently support it, is beyond me.

    If only you practiced what you preached. Imagine the amount of self-righteous bile that your servers wouldn't serve.

    Keep in mind that 1974 was 36 years ago. I am working with a very different model of the world than you are I think. Capital controls exist in the world and some are quite harsh. H…

    Cool, thanks for the tip. I definitely want to do a German beer tour at some point. Just out of curiosity, how cheap would you say it is? Any crime issues?

    Meta: I say something else. You retort something unrelated to your absurd initial declaration about the soon to disappear money order (I assume that wire transfers will have to go …

    Lol. I'd upload my passport but that's silly. Europe is not exactly cheap.

    I concur. Not known for being super cheap I'd imagine though.

    How does crazy paranoid stuff get up-voted here? Very Sad. Cheaper countries can be fun, but there's lots of downsides as well. If you are asocial, it could be your dream to live t…

    Cool, although I'd suggest not getting to excited about AI itself. It's cool your already focusing on machine learning. A great way to get going in that direction is to check out t…

    I'm going to try to give you something totally off the wall. Don't forget that mathematicians were people. Here's three biographies of some of my favorite mathematicians: http://ww…

    A bunch of uninformed whining is hardly in-depth. You'd think you couldn't file these electronically or that people have to create, gasp, invoices for the vast majority of such tra…

    How have you not thought through this? Black people must have been incredibly powerful in the Jim Crow-era south. It's not cool when people find it socially acceptable to say somet…

    Yeah, I've considered picking it up. Glancing at Fortran code is a bit off-putting though. You aren't going to beat my code by much, much less by double. I did want to see what was…

    So you are correct about the original contribution thing. There is also an option to start early withdraws on investment appreciations as well. It gets complicated, but basically y…

    One of the best pieces of advice I can give you is to not obsess over the college catalog. Freshmen year is about making friends and enjoying your new found freedom. If you want to…

    Sadly, this is pretty much done by the citation count bit. People that write quality papers were either scooped up by a quality institution, or could move to one. Good work is done…
