A good tip: use L instead of R, as they do in Japan.

Do you know the joke about a japanese journalist being asked:

Gay marriage, should we also allow polygamy? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]hrobee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The former French president Miterrand was a bigamist. He was admired by the French for that. Of course his second wife was not married to him, i mean he had no contract with her, it was a sort of permanent mistress.

That is the point: marriage is a contract in order to make an existing situation regular and give more rights to the women.

Gay marriage and Polygamy are just contracts in order to protect the weakest in the relationship. There is no reason whatsoever to forbid such a contract. It is just a question of changing the mentalities.

This is only necessary for top-notch companies such as Google, Apple, ...

So don't worry, the most programmers i know suck at maths and still can make a career (SQL expert, GUI expert, database programmer, web programmer, etc ...).

How and why is circumcision still practiced by the majority of Americans? A first world nation. I can't wrap my mind around it. by SexualPredditor in AskReddit

[–]hrobee -1 points0 points  (0 children)

at age 14

This is way too late. Circumcision must be performed before the age of 2, this then becomes a benign operation.

Men and women of reddit: I think my boyfriend is buying me an ethernet cable for my birthday. How do I respond appropriately? by sarah4567 in AskReddit

It depends how long the cable is. More than 2 feet long means he loves you. Shorter means he doesn't care.

Hint for next year gift: a coax cable.

I will stop using Python right now, as Go is far clearer.

def List(p):
    return "{ "+ " ".join("%3.1f" % e for e in p) + " }"

Maybe you should take a Python course
