Just curious, are you thinking of The Alliance?

So, does the early bird get the worm or do good things come to those who wait? We're maybe too inclined to just assert these sorts of things as fact. (This includes me.)

Would every drawing have to loop? Pi doesn't. I personally don't actually know if there's something about this specifically that would force every drawing to loop, though.

Or you could consider both.

Even if you can't measure someone's creative thinking ability very well, that doesn't mean that it can't improve with practice.

I think strait is right. "Elite achiever" only (directly, anyway) has to do with performance, not intelligence.

I was hoping that the neutrinos were actually going faster than light. Confirming established theories is boring, but breaking them is exciting.

Do you know any specifics of how the standard model breaks down at high enough energies?

Bitcoin seems to be picking up again. From Mt. Gox:

    > Last price:$45.00000
    > High:$48.46900
    > Low:$36.65000

Edit: It could go back down a lot. We'll see what happens.

I'm no expert on bitcoin, but I've read that you can have as many addresses as you want. You could generate a new address for each time you order through bitspend and never give them your "main" address. Overall it may or may not be a better option than just buying directly from a merchant because of other considerations.

Can't be. Has to say "0" sometimes.

This is just speculation.

California has this:

Stanford is a private university, and MIT isn't in California. The UCs sound like they're public universities. Perhaps the Asian students in California who are blocked out of other universities end up going to UCs instead.

This one might be incorrect, but California being on the west coast might mean that there are more Asians per person in California than in many other parts of the US, too.

Where do you think GP went to school? Neither the post nor the profile indicates a location.

Edit: I should say that I don't know for sure that you don't know from some other post GP made.
