Thanks, idiot.

The advice to go 64-bit and throw RAM at the problem brings back memories of my computational math class.

I realize you say this jokingly, but seeing that at this there are almost as many others as female (14 v 16) I'm curious how they define it. If I had to guess it would be mostly male->female given the overwhelming number of males, but I have no idea.

Here's some quick thoughts: if this is going to be used for short stories (fiction/non-fiction, but not blog posts) you could monetize by letting readers build an anthology and printing nice volumes for them. You could also (if the authors agree) license the content to other sources.

The Second Amendment isn't really about self-defense:

A well regulated Militia being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.

My old boss was born and raised in France and would use that expression all the time. She thought it was funny.

I kind of agree. I prefer the middle ground of notepad++ (with plugins for code completion and ftp/file explorer). Light and powerful while still resembling something designed for human consumption.

Math related search is generally not good. You can find theorems and definitions but proofs (non-famous ones) exercises are difficult to find.

Have you tried getting mentioned on travel blogs? Try looking specifically at the ones targeting backpackers.

Florida either, but the humidity is even worse!

There's a difference between sacrificing another and sacrificing yourself.

I don't see why not. I learned the math part of that (and more) in one year of grad school and basic C++ instead of the two languages. Just takes dedication if you're doing it on your own, I know I couldn't have.

I agree there should be a cost for posting stories, even going so far as preventing further submissions if you fall below a certain threshold. You could raise your karma back up through commenting.

I've always interpreted that phrase to mean "they're not doing this for free, you know" because of the tone in which it's usually said.
