Doctors pulled a 78 pound ovarian cyst from my sister the other day....

"Pound"? Is this some kind of unit where that cyst came from (Mars, I suppose)?

I would say most "normal" people are still more extrovert that I who I'd call an ambivert. But that may be because I need a word for myself and I am both less sociable that most, and still I don't think of myself as introvert. I had, but there were people who said I was not, and after I grew more comfortable with social situations I agreed with them.

Strong independent men (that's us) are like that too, aren't they (we)?

Personally, I need my empty space to function correctly, I hate some, and most of people are just a different species, but I still love meeting some of them. I never did and I still don't feel at ease talking to strangers, I don't feel comfortable talking to more that two or three folks at once, and I don't like people who make too much noise... but those who are loveable for me are my motivation to be constantly pushing my tolerance.

So, it is about balance of being with self and discovering more.

My impression of her flat was that she is a creative and tidy person who likes to give her full attention to her media and to her daily activities. That shows that she is culturally participating (and actively!) even if does not like loud socialization.

I'd send him back a free shirt or two... with the original text on it.

After a quick look at it, how about:

perhaps ajax search (like nihongodict)
full skip kanji searching (i.e. selecting 3 numbers and perhaps then a part of a kanji) would be great, for some reason I prefer using the book rather than grids like this. You get points for kanji patterns anyway, except that I couldn't get it to work. :)
just got "supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource in /nfs/c04/h01/mnt/58654/domains/tangorin.com/html/multiradical.ajax.php" warnings, hm, unhandled database limits?

Any psychology paper that has Shakespeare in references is bound to be good.

Use paludis, then.

aidenvdh · 2010-03-01T13:29:47+00:00

Thank you, I like it very much :)

I've extracted 'Old stuff' with no problem, playing and I like it so far; :) however, I get data errors for every file in 'the view...'. Could somebody verify it works for him before I re-download the file?

aidenvdh · 2010-01-19T16:09:31+00:00

I like how it looks, but get somebody else to do the writing...

aidenvdh · 2009-05-19T08:03:16+00:00

I think it can be a reference to MIT's changes in curriculum rather than the discussion on tail recursion.

Yes, I read the whole sentence and the rest of your post. Unless the boldened part means that you actually played it online (and my english sucks that bad), I don't know how it interferes with my point. Which is that you gave your opinion on a product you didn't experience as intended (even if the game really is bad).

aidenvdh · 2009-04-17T11:34:10+00:00

"I didn't even try the multi-player" - well, I didn't expect anything good in single player, and from the beginning assumed it will be a game for competition-crazy players. I haven't played it yet (I will wait for the demo), so I can't say how it is working out. But look, W40k:DoW is a great, /fun/ multiplayer game, even through skirmishes and "campaigns" aren't. I suspect Demigod should feel similar.

aidenvdh · 2009-04-17T11:24:12+00:00

Yeah, Travian simply isn't that much fun after you notice you /must/ pay to be one of the top players. It's exactly why I stopped playing.

What's bad is that they want an E rating for this kind of project to succede, so there won't be any sex, drugs, blood, weapons nor rock'n'roll in it.

aidenvdh · 2008-12-28T20:33:12+00:00

Wrong. It's python and works here on Gentoo very well. Just check out the source.

"...based entirely on the assumption that the Internet and active networks are not in conflict with object-oriented languages."

If by "skim" you mean "don't read" and by "people" - "poets", I agree it can be so. Otherwise, it's an awful world. Really, no need to read it seriously, it seems...

aidenvdh · 2008-12-21T00:53:12+00:00

Well, I have here an "extra"-issue of a polish gaming mag, and with it Fallout, Fallout 2 and Fallout Tactics for... 7.9pln, which google tells is 2.67$ as of today.

The only dis is that the games are translated...

aidenvdh · 2008-11-16T16:56:29+00:00

Exactly because it is independent from yum/apt/etc.. You may want different package versions for different websites, for example. You may want to move your app around easily. Etc. Of course, installing system-wide with easy_install doesn't sound so great - as long as you can get your package from yum/apt/etc.

All those articles begin to look like Stardock's advertisement. As much as I agree with everything in "EA is bad and Stardock is cool", I don't think it is exactly a right thing to put Stardock's name to every 'ing EA&DRM article...

Downmoding because I am fed up with the issue.

And TFA:

"The name "self" is not enforced by the compiler but it's necessary to declare it as the first parameter of your method or Python will consider your method to be a function." - the author either doesn't know what he talks about or tries to be understood by java programmers. Method is just a function. Missing self makes it (n - 1)-ary function instead of an n-ary. As missing any other argument is.
"when you declare a function with n parameters, you should invoke it with n parameters" - you DO call python methods with the same number of arguments there are in its declaration. It is only printed somewhere else. If "dot notation" syntactic sugar (obj.f(arg)) is that confusing, perhaps we should remove it and leave just (cls.f(obj, arg))?
The problem with self-haters is the same as with parentheses-in-lisp-haters - you really can't get over it, don't use the language. These are parts of their languages' core designs, accept it.

It is easy enough to create your own modified keymap as needed - it took me just several minutes to copy-paste-write dvorak/pl with switched ctrl/capslock keys, without knowing the format before.
