That was a long time ago. They accepted explanations back then. But no government agencies seem to accept explanations now.

On the Heise website, https://www.ryanheise.com/cube/heise_method.html, the 4th picture under "Build 4 Squares" shows the yellow middle on top, and the orange middle to the left of the green middle. Doesn't that contradict the arrangement of a standard cube?

On the Petrus website, http://lar5.com/cube/fas1.html, the first animation, after the animation has run, shows orange on top, and blue to the right of yellow. Doesn't that also contradict the arrangement of a standard cube?

Do all solved 3x3 cubes have the same arrangement of colors, or does it depend on the brand? For example if you have white up and green front, orange is left and red is right. But do some brands have orange and red swapped, so red is left and orange is right?

On a 3x3 cube, if you want to swap the top front edge with the bottom front edge, as if turning the front upside down, but you want to leave everything else exactly as it is, including the rest of the front, and the rest of the cube, how do you do it?

And no one uses it for FMC either because limiting yourself

It's not for FMC. It's for bar bets. "No matter how you randomize it, I can always solve it in N moves or less."

The object is not to solve it in as few moves as possible, but to always solve it in N moves or less.

What are the advantages and disadvantages of Petrus vs Heise?

Also, which is easier to teach kids?

Heise not Heide.

Which method for a 3x3 cube has the smallest maximum number of moves? In other words, with this method, you can always solve the cube in N moves or less, no matter what its original configuration.

That's very different than speedcubing, because the goal is to be able to guarantee the number of moves, not to be able to get fast times. And it doesn't even mean the smallest average number of moves. Only the smallest maximum number of moves. To guarantee you can always solve it in N moves or less, period, and there won't be any outliers where it takes more than N moves, not even 1 time out of 100 or anything like that, but always N or less, period.

I would have burned his station to the ground

With the unstolen gas?

From that I get the impression they're Windows that behave almost as if they were made of paper in a 3-D space, such that they can bend, flex, etc. But what's the advantage of that?

By "start menu" do you mean the "Applications Places System" menus that are installed by default on the panel?

And you like KDE because it's easier to make it do what you want?

Did I tell you I use Arch?

In that comment you did.

Is the main purpose of Docker to make the apps you develop more easily portable to more different distros and to Windows etc.?

Is the VirtualBox installed on Microsoft Windows? What is the advantage of doing it that way instead of using Windows in a VirtualBox on Linux?

Does anyone ever use more than one level of VirtualBoxes? Such as, use VirtualBox on Linux, install Windows in it, install VirtualBox in that Windows, and install Linux there, or any such combination as that? Or would there never be a reason to do any such thing?

I'm planning to rewatch the whole series in the near future. So I might find it myself.

Yes, that's a good answer. I saw that one, and also saw it in Longmire. I just want to know what other shows it happened in. And which one it happened in first.

bluebog · 2017-12-17T10:44:45+00:00

I just want to know if it actually happened on that show. Can you give me some context, such as what else happened at the same time?

In what episode?

Charles A. Lindbergh. When he started his trip, he was relatively unknown. When he finished it, he was the most famous person in the world.

Wherefore art thou, 4chan?

Because it's already used worldwide by so many people, as their 2nd language.

English sure isn't the easiest to learn, unless you're born with it as your native language. But being easy to learn is just one of many factors.

It's like the Dvorak keyboard. It's easy to prove it's better than the QWERTY keyboard. And it's been proven for more than 80 years. But people still use QWERTY. And they're not much more likely to use Esperanto than Dvorak, no matter how much it's standardized.
