Beware of Cold Turkey are Everywhere. I never have the experience myself but my grandfather used to be a heavy addict (he smoke 20+ perday). His method of quiting is instantly stopping it, and purposely put cigarette everywhere around the house to test his willpower against temptation. It worked...

I don't think you can. Even for something you are clueless about and have no relation to you, you cannot be neutral, you are at most apathetic: there are no facts to examine so there are no base for neutrality to happen. Even if you try to present all point of view, state all facts about it...

Sorry I might not write the name of that guy correct in English. But anyway, the Copernicus (whoever propose the heliocentric system and get burned by the Church) 's Principle was the principle that oppose the church at that time, and still being used in astronomy. It stated that our place in...

I think there should be some different between you and your friend. Otherwise you can just talk to yourself. The exception is at doing physical work. You two will be excellence workmate if you become a construction worker, boulder, etc.

:storks: That would be a direct violation of the Copernius principle. But then think again, problems have been mounting against Copernius paradigm for long now, so perhap it is time to change it? I still get bothered by the 0.9sec. They should explained why such lag is still acceptable. I...

Think we need to define friend here, especially if we are using the word in an abnormal fashion. I propose a simple definition 'a person you know for long and enjoy talking with often'.

Many people said SJ here, but I think that is too general because SJ are affected a lot by their upbringing. So a SJ grown up and home-schooled by 2 NTP parents will have the same set of belief as the NTP's parent, which is much more flexible and will be able to get along well with INTP. For me...

It is neither verified or falsified, its current state is merely a hypothesis, but too early to say. I get excited easily by a lot of things (weird mechanical system, little funny invention, experimental result, etc.), and I show that excitedment outside, but things that usually supposed to make...

I just answered to that thread before I read this one. My spirit go down when spring come. I think it have something to do with the fact that exams are coming and fast-pen-swinger and fast-calculator-smasher are going to beat me even though many don't even understand even the meaning of each...

I guess you are talking about a natural (not artificial) time period, otherwise I would said 29/2 because it don't happen a lot. I love the transition period between autumn and winter. The sun is waning, the sky is gloomy yet a few ray of light penetrate the darkness providing me the lens into...

Perhap some of the far future, if they are as I predicted (humanity still thriving, technology dominate, annoying irrational people gone, knowledge pool expanded a lot, and I was given the power to shape the world to my will).

I wonder if the high energy gamma ray actually get delayed a lot and you won't see them a few thousand years later. Also how can they be so sure that all the gamma ray come from the same source at the same time? And then there might be certain stuff along the path that can distort the result.

Sorry I don't fully understand your analogy, but from what I did, seems like the uncertainty of the speaker is caused by the bad measuring instrument, while quantum physics uncertainty is caused by the the nature of the quantum world. Also, you did not state which uncertainty principle are yoiu...

Add more advice: learn proper debugging, commenting, and documenting technique. Very important. I don't learn it at first because it goes against my natural tendency but it bites me back later on large project.

I was thinking about a similar paradox but then I guess they would just make sure you cannot destroy your own building using your own unit. However, although I think that this time manipulation might seems fun at first, from a mathematical point of view you are just using another dimension. It...

I sat on top of a tower watching my town. Social event is not my thing. Well, actually I also make a booby trap at my door to scare people. Halloween is not really a big social event at my place though.

I think the "time wave" mechanics help avoided some time travel paradox, but it did not solve all of them. Would love to see it get release to see how they handle that. For example: Scenario 1: you build a building in the past. You go back to present and build a different building at the exact...

I got both myopia and astigmatism, each on 1 eye. Sorry but I got a different system of numbering eyesight which I don't know to convert. I got it I think due to reading in the dark. Funny things is that my eyesight keep getting worse very fast until I bought a computer and started using it 16+h...

I started out with Delphi, it is much more convenient if you want to learn about algorithm rather than the implementation, but it is less suitable for real programming. There are some more advanced data structure and algorithm as well, but I think the new C++ libraries have all of them (I'm...

Web design I recommend language Java (for a lot of stuff), PHP/ASP (I learnt ASP but somehow PHP seems more popular), SQL (for database), HTML (might not be necessary with all the designing software), CSS (this should be easy). C++ is still good if you have to program the server and the browser...

Re: Guild to typing in real time. 'i'/'e' tell you where does your most preferred function oriented to. So for INTP 'P' tell you that your extroverted function is N so the other function T must be introverted, 'I' tell you that your dominant function is introverted, therefore Ti is your...

What? You can hack computer games??? Wow, I still struggle with Assembly :( But I think you should state clearly what do you want to focus on in programming first, it would be much more helpful to helper. Web designer/Algorithm developer/Software designer/AI researcher/Security/Game...

Hahaha I played this one before. The parody is really funny.:smiley_emoticons_mr They used to have a forum where fake information about the game are spread to newbie too. I think it is even more fun than the game.:evil:

Re: Guild to typing in real time. I think MBTI said that only the person can determine the type because it is based on preference, which is inside their brain rather than observable. You can type people using Kiersey's Temperament instead, which is based on long-term behaviours, however it had...

I wonder if all the time paradox apply. For example, what happened if you attack the enemy in the past, destroyed them, then attack them in the present before the 'time wave' propagate the battle result to the present?

My experience with f2p MMORPG are all bad. It is probably totally unfit for a INTP (if you are one, or anyone that are not SJ I think) because all you have is grindfest. Best f2p MMORPG so far I played is Atlantica Online, that was before they make some bad patch that turn it into a grindfest...

In this case it depends on the purpose of doing the typing. People type people all the time, and many of them do that for the purpose of preserving harmony in the society. I would consider typing for that purpose ethical, because without it the society would fall apart. However, typing for the...

I think I should add robots to your "paradise". Doing housechores is a drudgery.

Outside of Plato's cave I think.

Wow, thanks. I never expecting anyone to copy the whole proof anyway, just hoping someone can find a shorter method to prove.

I think only typing people with MBTI is unethical because MBTI is supposed to be about your preference, which people cannot know. Although your behaviour is affected by preference, there are too many other factors affect it. Typing Kiersey's Temperament however is on behaviour, so it is not...

I don't think that "music game" is a proper label. Maybe "press the exact key at the exact time" game would be better.

I know that, just cannot find the proof.

I think what it shows is merely what movie did you just watch recently.

I use fingerprint as my signature on some documents.:eek:

I don't think people are talking about grammar error when they disagree with teacher during class. As for nitpicking, I think it is still justfied if the subject is highly logical, such as Maths.

I think the lesson plan should be spontanous and easy to adapt to such justified disruption, as education is not force feed information into passive listener.

Sorry but what is "BS"? Is it some high level technical word in Biochemistry (I don't study both). A search on the Internet results in a bad word that is definitely not what you are intending to said. I suggest you study some computing maths. My experience tell me it is fun, and you can...

This I got a lot, more than my computer can remember! But some of the memorable one: 1. Primary school: test question is not cleared enough, and I refuse to do it because the teacher keep insisting that only number from 1-99 are natural number, anything outside the range is not. I call my mother...

If the author is trying to implicitly accuse Western culture, then I have a lot of disagree about. I believe this is what the author wanted to do, but cover it up in the form of a "definition" to avoid criticism. Some parts are vague, a bit had self-contradiction, and many parts I can find...

I think there is a thread about this just a week ago. Most people here have some form of martial arts.

How does her argument go?

My usual attire is already kind of Halloween (grim reaper: black coat, long sleeve, pointy big hood that cover even the face, long hemline). If I bring my umbrella with me it might looks like a scythe.

Although science only have Instrumentalist value to me, it is fascinating nontheless because of the logical structure and the use of creativity in induction.

1. Free speech: $500 it is super important for me, I think that is also because I lived in a communist country for too long and feel really suppressed. 2. Petition: $50, I can just talk to the government officer, and if that does not work I can always assassinate the whole government and take...

As if these calculator generate genuine random number.

I don't think I have touched anyone (except punching people who irritate me or bumping into people on the street) or being touched (except getting slapped) for over 9 months. Yet I have never feel depressed, not at all. There are people like to touch around here, but I just stay away from them...

Tri-Lamb material. Not sure what it meant.

I thought Cassandra is a reference to the mad Greek prophet who predict everything correctly but nobody believe her, then she was eventually killed.

I have to do some work like that before as internship. It is kind of fun at the start but I start to get mad when I started to meet some REALLY STUPID CUSTOMER. Some just keep complaining when you are trying to do your job. Then there are people who asked for the stationary section when they are...
