If any company dare to not attempt to penetrate the Chinese market, it is sure to be severely punished in Wall Street.

The effects on Wall Street is so short-sighted and over-reacted it won't be able to survive 2 quarters.

Traders = America's biggest problems. Not chinese.

Not for long, with the sinking dollar.

Wittgenstein's opinion was that "Whereof one cannot speak, thereof one must be silent." (Tractatus).

(Well, at least before his own doubts consumed him and made him a friend of the existentialists.)

Can more people mod parent insightful, please?

The Human Rights Council has been hijacked by Islamists in the last few years.

Human rights no longer mean rights to speak, but rather rights to control speeches.

Now it's all right with me if they want to control the post-modernist idiots who just want to blabber nonsense all day, but science must be allowed to speak --- against religions if the evidences say so.

It's a pity no news agency is willing to cover the story.

Is Jeffery Archer really that bad?

I see. The problem is with the fact that there is a prime, 3, that is divisible by 3.

Since no other prime is divisible by 3, it should work for 5 and above.

I got it in less than 5 minutes (I think. Forgot to count). Can I now write "among the better half of all math guys" in my resume?

What? There is a new equation editor in Google Docs? Cool. Gotta check it out!

(Apologies for ignoring your plug for Zoho. Maybe you shouldn't have mentioned the shiny equation editor.)

Hear! Hear!

We all resisted from "belong"-ing to any "internet community", unlike those who cave in to every latest fad.

This is the greatest comic I have ever read! A few pages into the comic and I am already a fan. There's just so many excellent insights.

"As an initial tactic, I've had some bankers shot this morning to keep up confidence."

The Duke of Wellington for the new Federal Reserve Chairman!

I think you are probably referring to Plan 9 from Bells Lab.

By "nothing that Maple cannot do" is meant the formulas are manipulated automatically using Maple and then cut and paste into the paper.

PDE is fairly involved but not at the application level. Same with MRF. (I take it that you meant these theories in the applied sense since you mentioned "Once you get closer to actual practice".)

I hope you understand that the average mathematician has to publish new results in mathematics constantly to stay employed in the university. Are we talking about the same average mathematicians here? (I am not a mathematician but I have worked with some before, and I too have to publish constantly to stay employed.)

As another person commented: "You're way too easily impressed. I'm sorry but either you have very little experience with this kind of photography or you're pulling my leg. There is literally much better on flickr."

I would say I have taken better pictures myself, but that is too subjective for me to say.

Exactly what I have been saying, and it's actually even worse.

When classified as art, these works will bring down the status of those art that actually require good senses and rigor (mathematics, physics, paintings, programs, inventions).

Furthermore, these "arts" may make people so annoyed that they start to regard less of freedom of expression. In the end the rights to say what is important (as in "Galileo") become compromised, together with these other rights (the rights to say "I got a needle in my penis").

Exactly what I felt when I first saw the study.

The model don't need more consideration for "widespread panic". It needs to factor in the "irrational euphoria" that has made this casino so profitable!
