You are missing both the "or" in his sentence (i.e. he describes alternatives, not cumulative measures) and my retort to the verification by phone.

Now your collection of business cards is susceptible to tampering (no cryptographic authentication!). Do you never leave your collected business cards unattended at a conference or trade fair? Possibl…

Your message is plain stupid. In dfact, I'm for fluoridation of tap water, even though it's not legally allowed in Germany as of now. You're putting up a strawman. At least you've …

The serifs remind me a lot of Calluna by Jos Buivenga. They even use the same kind of drawings to defend this choice.

I think it's great that you're here and perfectly okay to mention your degree (in your profile). However, even if you feel you've been unfairly treated, your own words won't garner…

You should try and get implication and conclusion sorted out. I think you slipped in a negation somewhere. If there is no free will and I stop judging, then yes, obviously we can stop judging. But if …

> We should stop judging. If there is no free will and we still judge, we cannot not judge!

Why would we stop judging?

> Only then will one have made a case for free will. That's why it's generally considered to be an open question. You, on the other hand, haven't nearly made a case against free will…

I've been using Bing (and IE) for a few months now, after years of Google and Firefox. I'd guess about half of my searches go like this: * type into URL bar * get Bing result * after a quick…

After some interaction (including assuring people), my impression of CAcert is much more negative than my impression with any of those big bad CAs everyone likes to complain about. They are so far off…

It probably bugs me the way it does, because this "signal" has nothing to do with the contents or the usability of the web site (unlike speed, validity of HTML or, well, content itself), but…

I did: having your skull cracked open and your brain distributed on the pavement is certainly worse than having some strain put on your neck. Both can be lethal. The former is very much so, the latter…

They are a rather big and rabid group on Germany. Another argument by them: sure, having your skull split open when falling and hitting the head on the pavement is bad, but it's really bad when y…

I don't know which Germany you're looking at, but there is significant anti-Putin sentiment and, correspondingly, newspaper stories and commentary calling for harsh measures against Russia. …

I can tell you what's wrong with 35,798: it's less than fifty, even if you don't parse it that way. But as b6 said, some languages support grouping of digits, but they use another symbo…

Because the complexity of the game, emerging from such simple rules, is just stunning. Because you can make new friends, on- and offline. Because the handicap system ensures a fair and exciting game, …

Please, if you'd be interested in a math font by MB (and be willing to pay for it, of course), tell him! Maybe we can be a niche market. :-)

Strang's book is superb. I'm switching back and forth between his videos and book. And I prefer the latter for content and using my hours efficiently. I prefer the videos for his laid-back s…

Recently I was googling for NGLY1 references on German language web sites and found some very short thread in a child healthcare forum (or something similar) where some parent described their child, s…

Do they keep the leadership? I'd love to see fresh blood there.
