    Why do poor people always rationalize why they don't have things outside their means?

    I think food is an exception because taste is too subjective. I can see someone enjoying a $10 fresh lobster tail with butter more than a $50 haute cuisine lobster dinner.

    Does mac still have an advantage over PCs in art/media work?

    Some people prefer the feel of Photoshop on Mac because there's no need for a container window.

    Publix (supermarket) to offer 7 popular prescription antibiotics FOR FREE!!!

    Nobody is arguing that overuse of antibiotics doesn't decrease their efficacy. The point is that you disregard all the benefits of Publix providing no cost antibiotics because you think that there will be some massive stockpiling issue. The only proof you offer that such stockpiling occurs...

    [minirant] wtf MATLAB, WTF!

    Yeah, I'm actually trying to convert everyone at MIT to inferior tools. Then we can finally defeat them using MATLAB. Muahaha. :D

    [minirant] wtf MATLAB, WTF!

    MATLAB actually began as a wrapper for LINPACK and EISPACK. What you're probably thinking of is Maple's engine being added to MATLAB to give it some symbolic capabilities.

    [minirant] wtf MATLAB, WTF!

    R is often seen as a statistical computing language, but it can be used to do a lot of general numerical analysis work. I've done of a lot of prototyping of machine learning algorithms in R and I find the syntax significantly cleaner. There are also tons of nice UIs for R available. There is...

    [minirant] wtf MATLAB, WTF!

    There are plenty of other tools available that are better IMO. In bioinformatics research for example, R has become extremely popular.

    2 Abrams tanks vs. 10,000 Chinese cavalrymen: Who would win?

    It's no more ridiculous than the entirely imaginary and impossible axioms that people are spouting. Can real tanks have unlimited fuel or ammo? No. Can real tanks shoot nonstop without their guns overheating? No. Can real tanks operate perfectly mechanically? No.

    [minirant] wtf MATLAB, WTF!

    Yeah, I hate MATLAB. Besides buggy behavior, the interface is slow and the syntax is inconsistent. How did this become the standard tool in CS/Engineering?

    Dullard's Turn, fix my resume

    Pretty good except your subheadings (e.g. publications) look more prominent than your headings (e.g. papers and patents).

    2 Abrams tanks vs. 10,000 Chinese cavalrymen: Who would win?

    If the tanks get unlimited fuel, then the cavalry should get tireless American Quarter Horses. An M1 Abrams tops out at 30mph off road and an American Quarter Horse tops out at 50mph. Also, since the tanks get unlimited ammo, it's fair to say the cavalry get bazookas. Cavalry win. This thread...

    Yet another Tower Defence Game.....

    It's even easier to beat with interest -- just do the calculations and you can see why. In the later levels, I had around 10 maxed out red missile towers in the middle and still had hundreds of thousands of surplus money.

    Scientists simulate collision with Trade Center Tower

    It's possible I got the last box of Cheerios because there was simply one box left when I got to the supermarket. It's also possible that I engineered a massive conspiracy by paying off the CEO of Safeway, who then pulled some strings for me with the local manager, who then hid the last box of...

    The Arts V.S. The Sciences

    I think it depends on how abstract the math is. In introductory classes like analysis and algebra, there is usually one standard way to do a proof that doesn't require much ingenuity and alternative proofs rely on simple tricks. This is also true of introductory arts classes where you learn to...

    Effect of news on stock prices - i.e. Apple

    Information is priced into stocks as soon as it's available, so Apple's stock already reflects investors' opinions on the iPhone.
