GP is correct.
He wrote 10 as in 1*base+0*1, not as "how many fingers you have".
two is written 10 in binary, ten is written 10 in decimal, and sixteen is written 10 in hexadecimal.
If your pseudo is any indication, you might understand :
    (2..36).map{|base| base.to_s(base)}

And why don't *you* like austerity?

I feel like a dirty old man (that's probably because I am one), but all I can think of is how a blowjob would feel like with overtone singing.

Tits, mathematics, physics theory, measurements and vizualisation aren't bad, but come on, give us some real "news for nerds"!
I don't know, maybe some post by Bennett Haselton for example.

Telling someone to type a command in R doesn't explain *why* typing that command works, or what's going on in the background.

It's kinda hard to explain why this command should work, since it doesn't.
The command should be 1-pbinom(37,54,.50)

Talking about "getting the math right", the right command is 1-pbinom(37,54,.50), which is about 0.1919%

There are two hard things in computer science: race conditions, naming things, and off-by-one errors.

LxQt looks good, thanks for the tip!

Thanks a lot.
You just proved your argument is bullshit.

There is no downside to lower meth prices. lower prices on anything is always a positive.

we as a group are saving billions a day after a very long recession. The meth prices are still not low enough to help those who need it most, the poor and lower middle class.

They overtook the French, with their TGV.

No, they didn't.
There is less space per passenger in a TGV than in an ICE, but the TGV is faster ( http://upload.wikimedia.org/wi... ) and safer ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E... ).
There are many connections (e.g. Stuttgart München) where ICEs average about 100km/h.

Those chores are my meditation.
It's like climbing a big mountain. If all you think about is "left, right, left, right, ..." you'll soon get bored to death and you'll never make it to the top.
If you manage to enter the zone, it can actually be a very pleasing experience.

Except for the fact that Randal wrote "U.S. Scientists: Proud" for a european achievement. (http://xkcd1446.org/img/r_16-25-00_MZ7aAUNWN5.png).
I realize NASA worked on some parts for this project, but it still looks a bit like chauvinism.
He then corrected it (http://xkcd1446.org/img/r_16-55-00_bD01qtUkFk.png).

It looks like CCD artifacts to me (http://www.eso.org/~ohainaut/ccd/CCD_artifacts.html).
It sometimes happen when movement or very bright light sources (e.g. the sun or metallic parts of solar panels) are involved.
I still like my old Nikon D40 sensor thanks to its very fast flash-sync, but I get weird artifacts when shooting into the sun.

PS: I just checked wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philae_%28spacecraft%29), and CCD sensors are used on Philae.

Exactly. I've been coding for 70% of my life and I still learn a lot every day.
