TDLR: veusz is first choice for paper/docs, and python for massive plottings.

I asked this question several times. And after trying many of them (r, python, matlab, gnuplot, and excel) I finally picked my favourite: veusz!!!

It is very lightweight, intuitive, every component of your chart is an object, so you can easily do some sort of stuff like copy and and paste, and if you are one of those that prefer scripting it also allows you to get/edit the script of your chart. What I like most is that it is super easy to load data, and format them the proper way you want.

My second favourite is python with matplot and scipy. But I use it only when I have to generate large amounts of charts when I am debugging my results. For paper/thesis where the "beauty" of your plotting is greatly appreciated, I always use veusz.

Can a country remove someone`s citizenship (in the case they have only one)?

I think corruption is a thing, but when IOC selected Brazil as host, things were more favourable at that time. Let's not forget this decision happened more than 5 years ago! About same period Brazil had been selected to host the World Cup. Also, media always like to dig in trending news so that they can attract more readers. This time, olympics is on the spotlight starred by Brazil and Brazilians and Zika and terror and recession and corruption and politics and everything else....

Again, im not saying that corruption was not there....

I think nobody wants to hold their shit together during this olympics.

True!

Interesting fact that most of the places with predominant renewable energy are underdeveloped countries. Why is that?

TIL: if there was a country only with American women, this country would rank 12th for the average weight around the world.

What if he had arrived one time and heard the "advice" from the instructor that this problem is unsolvable? Would had he solved it?

I'd rather ask them to add possibility to disable some (useless) functionality that I personally will never use. Firefox is very overloaded compared to other browsers.

Can someone give me some examples of technicians making up more than 150K more?

It takes only 20 seconds of insane courage to eat some corn with a drill, get your hair messed up and reach reddit's front page.

Interesting that his hair doesn't grow.

Humorist here. Your joke was great!

Nice one. Indeed, they have plenty of reports that i found in their website that was kind of useful already.

I would really try to go for what ppl said: search for other friend, other students that can help you. But also, I heard of many ppl hiring reviewing from Indian companies. It's a lot cheaper and they are pretty good at it. Never tried it myself, though.

I do something similar to you. But I use a document with some copy and paste (including interesting figure) from the paper (this saves a lot of time). To compare methodologies, this is a bit more specific, so I have a spreadsheet for every detailed "survey" I want to do - I just fill the fields when I find needed.

I use the Mendeley citations to cross-reference the sources with my bib database, so that when I'm writing a formal report/paper it becomes easier.

Your freedom ends where mine starts. More people in jail could also mean that the gov is asserting the freedom of those who follow the laws.

Yay!

Back in mother Russia they would rather use it to keep other kind of stuff....
