I have never been to a LEGO Store, and I am hoping to go to one soon. I was wondering if anyone knew how much bricks cost at the LEGO Store? I want to buy some minifigs and some bricks. Do they sell the bricks by pound, or price per brick, or something else?
The most common way to buy bricks from LEGO stores is by filling up a PaB cup:
There are two sizes of cups and occasionally other containers that can be filled during certain promotions. The large cup is $15.99 USD and the small cup is $8.99 USD currently. This isn't advertized, but you can also buy bricks in the boxes that they are shipped to the store in. These are $100 USD.
LEGO stores also typically allow you to build your own custom Minifigs. These include legs, torso, head, headgear, and an accessory. These are currently 3 for $9.99 USD.
Pick-a-brick is a pretty cost effective to get bricks, in my experience. Prices will vary by your locale, of course, but I have one data point. For a 17 EUR PAB cup, I got around 100 EUR worth of bricks using BrickLink's average price. Since the average price is often above the median, and the median is not shown on the page, I instead recalculated using the price of the lowest lot with sufficient bricks (so if my cup contained 20 of part X I used the price of the cheapest X lot with >= 20 qty) an still the value was around 42 EUR.

How to Make Fast Love Last
Check out the following get-busy-in-a-jiffy basics that'll deliver mind-blowing results.
"I thought my lust life with my beau couldn't get any better than our all-night mattress sessions," says Lisa,* a 25-year-old market researcher. "Then, last weekend, we had a tawdry tryst in a friend's bathroom. I never knew five minutes could be so earth-shattering." Sound hard to believe that fast, no-frills nooky can be such a thrill? "Quickies are the Big Macs of the sex world. They are pure, guilty pleasure," says Joan Elizabeth Lloyd, author of Now and Forever: Let's Make Love (Warner, 1997). We're not suggesting you forgo all your candlelit, The Very Best of Barry White nights for these wham-bam moments. We're just saying that when thrown into your repertoire, short, spontaneous sessions add spice, increase intimacy, and deliver down-and-dirty instant gratification.
*Names have been changed.
Guys may think about sex a billion times a day, but we women sometimes need to light a fire under our libidos. So if you like the concept of a quickie in theory but find your lust batteries running low, psych yourself up with a few brain and body tricks. "Sexy is a state of mind. Your fantasizing is what really puts you in the mood," says Lloyd. But don't leave all the labor to your imagination. "Brush your hands over your breasts, thighs, anywhere that feels good," says Laura Corn, author of 101 Grrreat Quickies (Park Avenue Publishers, 1997). Or try crossing and uncrossing your legs while sitting. Rubbing your thighs together increases blood flow to your genitals, which will give you that tingly aroused feeling. If any "haven't primped" vibes threaten to short-circuit your plan to jump your man, remember, you're the only one worried about the fact that you're sporting granny undies. "When blood flows into a man's penis, it's exiting his brain. He's not seeing things as clearly as you are," explains Dan Savage, author of Savage Love (Plume, 1998). "Besides, being a little unkempt is sexy." Remind yourself of that by repeating an affirmation like "I'm hot and can drive him wild" in your mind. "If you're wearing bottom-of-the-drawer undies, simply slip out of them as fast as possible," says Debbie Tideman, author of The X Spot Orgasm (Jetex, 1995). "He'll think you're being saucy, not self-conscious."
"I'll never forget when my boyfriend and I showed up at his sister's wedding moments before the ceremony was about to begin, having just done it in a limo in the parking lot," recalls Rory, a 25-year-old accountant. "We relished the fact that we had just been very naughty — and no one knew our secret." The key to a well-executed quickie — one that makes a fab memory — is timing it right. To keep your quickies from turning into catastrophes, do it when you have a few minutes to spare before showing up somewhere, not when you're seriously late. That said, the day is chock-full of get-frisky opportunities — all you have to do is find one (or two or three...) that's right for you. "The afternoon is a great time because that's when sex drives are at their highest," says Tideman. "Plus there's added excitement because it's a time when we're usually chained to our desks." Ask him to meet you at home during your lunch hour for a little love in the afternoon. Mornings are also nice because you can take advantage of his sleep-induced stiffy without being late for work. Give him a wanton wake-up call, and then see if he's up for sex. And let's not underestimate the buzz of getting busy in an unexpected place. Movies are full of memorable quickies — think of the Risky Business on-the-subway seduction. Not only are odd locations exotic in their own right, many pack a we-could-get-caught charge. "When you feel a sense of danger, your body releases the same adrenaline that it produces during orgasm," explains Corn. So next time you're flirting with your boy at a bar, pull him into the bathroom for a frolic. But be sure to lock the door — you want just enough fear to get your blood flowing, not enough to give you a heart attack.
Chances are, your guy will get a rush from a randy romp regardless of the where, when, or how. But why not make a lasting impression? Start by taking advantage of the fact that not only do guys love what they can see, they go gaga over what they can't. "Men get aroused when they look at a lacy bra while you're making love," says Corn. You could also leave on your shirt, strategically unbuttoning it, or lift up your skirt to midthigh level. While less is more in the visual department, it's not in the action arena. To amplify an already-intense quickie, take all your behaviors up a notch. If you usually nibble at his ear, bite him gently. Exchange caressing his butt cheeks for a firm slap. "During quickies, my typically gentle girlfriend tugs my hair and scratches my back," says Matthew, a 25-year-old stockbroker. "It feels amazing." And don't forget to talk dirty: Replace a couple of groans with steamy commands like "Faster. Faster!" or more specifically "I need you to blank my blank, right now!"
If you're like most women, it takes a lot more than a brief bit of thrusting to push you over the orgasm edge. Even so, a quickie can still be an incredible experience. "My boyfriend Neal and I have quickies all the time," attests Sam, a 27-year-old ad exec. "The sheer intensity is so amazing, the fact that I seldom orgasm doesn't bug me." But if you're on board the ecstasy express and really want to peak, do whatever it takes to get your pleasure wheels rolling. "Skip the slow stuff and kiss him deeply right off the bat," suggests Corn. Or take the Zen approach to breathing: For about 30 seconds, take long, slow deep breaths and imagine pulling the air all the way down into your pelvis. This will intensify the sensations, and the extra oxygen will make you light-headed. Or up your orgasm potential with this expert-endorsed position: "Lean on a chair, counter top, or even the wall and have him enter from behind," says Tideman. "That way he can stimulate your clitoris manually." Whether you peak or not, quickies always deliver one special pleasure — they make your man worship the ground you walk on. "Men's biggest complaint is that their partners don't come on to them enough," says Corn. So go ahead and let him know you're hot for him by hitting on him when he least expects it. Trust us, once you've launched his rocket in five minutes flat, he'll be willing to do just about anything for you.

Using Punishments Effectively
Punishment should not embarrass, humiliate, or degrade children. Punishment is meant to teach your child that misbehaving is not a good decision and behaving is a good decision. When punishment embarrasses your child, it creates unhealthy feelings. The embarrassment will only cause your child to think of you as mean or unfair. When this occurs, your child will not learn to make better decisions. He will not learn cooperation. Your child may strike back in anger, which can start a negative cycle. Do not punish your child in front of other children. Take your child aside. Tell him what he has done and that he will be punished. Talk about it later, when the two of you are alone. Use Punishment Consistently
Punishment must be administered consistently. Once you decide to punish a misbehavior, do so always. If you punish only when you feel like it, you will make the problem worse. Once you tell your child that he is going to be punished, follow through. You must use punishment consistently, even after you have had a long, miserable day. You can never miss or let the misbehavior slide-not even once. Many parents make this mistake. Children love it. It motivates them to test you-to see if you will punish them this time. Angela wanted to know why punishment did not have any effect on her son, Bryan. She explained that she "tried everything. Nothing bothers him. He never does what I ask him to do." After more discussion, I learned that Angela punishes Brian once or twice a week, while he did what he pleased all the other times. Angela did not follow through consistently; Bryan could misbehave several times a day and only be punished once or twice a week. This is a tradeoff most children would make gladly. Angela and Bryan were trapped in a pattern. She did not punish consistently because she believed it did not work. He continued to misbehave because he got away with it most of the time. Angela worked out a plan that used positive feedback and punishment, and emphasized cooperation and good decisions. She used small punishments, but she used them consistently. As Angela's behavior improved, Bryan's behavior improved. Be Reasonable
Punishment must be reasonable. Short and simple punishments are more effective than harsh punishments. React appropriately to the size of the misbehavior. Do not restrict your son for a month because he did not finish his vegetables. Take away his dessert. When punishments are reasonable, children learn what behaviors are important. Punishment should be administered as soon after the misbehavior as possible. The more immediate, the more effective the punishment will be. This is especially true with young children. The only exception to this rule occurs when you are angry. Do not punish immediately when you are angry. Wait until you settle down, just as Linda did when she caught Nancie skipping school. You might say, "You will be punished for this, but I have to cool down first." With misbehaviors that are recurrent, punishment should only be used after you have tried several positive remedies. Most adults think of punishment first. Most adults think that you always treat a misbehavior with a punishment. You can improve misbehavior by using positive feedback to strengthen the opposite of the misbehavior. Your two children argue constantly. Instead of saying, "If you do not stop fighting, you will both be grounded for the weekend," point out the opposite. The opposite of arguing is cooperating. Use encouragement and positive feedback when they are cooperating and sharing: "It's good to see you having fun. You should be proud of yourselves for the way you are sharing the computer." Immediately resorting to punishment traps many parents. No one likes how it feels. One way to escape this trap is to focus on positive behavior. Your Turn
Pam cannot understand why Steven will not behave. Pam wants to be more positive but sometimes forgets. Steven is a very active child. He gets into things he is not supposed to touch. Whenever Steven does not mind, Pam becomes upset and frustrated. Pam yells a lot. She spanks, too. Nothing seems to work. What can you tell Pam about her behavior? Pam needs to realize that her style of punishment is not working. Steven has become immune to the yelling and the spanking, and his misbehavior is not improving. Pam needs to control herself. Getting angry and frustrated is only aggravating the situation. Her anger may be rewarding to Steven. Most of all, Pam must remember to be positive. The strongest tool she has is positive feedback. Punishment works, but it is not easy to use. Positive feedback is much easier to use and more fun to use. Positive feedback creates internal motivation in children. It teaches self-discipline and promotes a healthy and pleasant family climate. Successful parents emphasize the positive. Positive feedback, extinction, and punishment are always in effect, whether you are conscious of them or not. The key to successful parenting is to be aware of these principles and use them to your advantage. Parents who are only interested in controlling misbehavior will punish. Parents who want children to be cooperative will balance positive feedback with extinction and redirection and use a minimal amount of punishment. If you emphasize the positive, you will only need a minimal amount of punishment.

でしょう can usually be understood to mean "probably." But does it sometimes mean the same thing as ですね? What other meanings can it have? Can it mean "you know?"

Aside from the meaning of "probably", I've heard でしょう (だろう) used in the following manners:
There is another slightly different use that takes some getting used to. Weather reporters frequently use でしょう to indicate likely weather:
At first it always seemed like they were asking me for confirmation:)
To agree with previous posters, ですね and でしょう are pretty different. The former is sort of a neutral comment, but can imply a question, whereas the latter is more implicitly asking for some kind of confirmation.
味が変ですね。-This tastes odd (wouldn't you agree?) 味が変でしょう。 - Doesn't this taste odd?
でしょう is like です, but with less certainty. It's used when someone is pretty sure something is that way, but not entirely.
So yes, it's a bit like 'probably', but that's not actually what it means.
It's often used when someone wants to see if someone else agrees with them before committing to it, too.

Beta2 - ContentPanel has no setAppearance() method
From example:
<gxt:ContentPanel appearance="{accordionLayoutAppearance}" animCollapse="false" bodyStyleName="pad-text" headingText="Settings"> <g:Label text="{dummyTextShort}" /> </gxt:ContentPanel>
And it has no @UiConstructor annotation.
Field "appearance" is set only in construction.
What do I miss?
Is it bug?Konstantin Scheglov
31 Jan 2012 10:31 PM #2
No, this is not a bug.
I think you are looking for a FramePanel.
1 Feb 2012 6:42 AM #3
1. But example uses ContentPanel. I don't understand how it could work. But I've not tried to compile my Beta2 Explorer example, I use online version.
2. FramePanel extends ContentPanel, but does not add setter for Appearance or @UiConstructor marked constructor.Konstantin Scheglov
6 Feb 2012 10:12 AM #4
What is the bottom line in order to create an accordion like presentation ?
The 3.0 demo use a ContentPanel as stated by Konstantin.
The suggestion for using the FramedPanel does not solve the issue as there is no setAppearance() method in the FramedPanel.
I checked the javadoc, but cannot find a suitable component that could work.
Anyone found a possible solution for the accordion ?
Thanks per advance
6 Feb 2012 11:04 AM #5
Have you checked the constructor?
As far as I know, appearance is always set within the constructor.
So I would try: new ContentPanel(ContentPanelAppearence appearence) ...
6 Feb 2012 11:26 AM #6
Thanks for the answer. I was wonderning how to use the accordion via the UiBinder.
I suppose that in that case a setter is required ?
6 Feb 2012 11:39 AM #7
I don't use UiBinder .... :-)
But I would look for something like appearence="..." or use addStyleName in the ui.xml ...
Hope that helps.
6 Feb 2012 12:46 PM #8
Well, as I told in first message, there is constructor which accepts Appearance, but it is not marked with @UiConstructor, so UiBinder does not use it.
And yes, this is UiBinder.Konstantin Scheglov
22 Feb 2012 3:30 PM #9
I wrote this reply for another thread, and I think Konstantin saw it there, but other users may find this helpful:
There are lots of options when replacing an appearance. If making the change across your entire app, you should be using a replace-with in your module file. If making the change for every instance in a single uibinder class, a zero-arg @UiFactory method can work (or one that takes an appearance arg like this example). If making a change for each instance within a uibinder class, consider creating the instances ahead of time in code, by specifying @UiField(provided = true) and creating the instance in the field.
One more option for occasional reuse - make a subclass of the widget, with a no-arg constructor, calling the super constructor with a specific appearance. This is what is done in FramedPanel for a framed ContentPanel.

The cheapest glass straw dispenser I have found online is $14 so $19 for this whole set is a great deal.
According to Wiki, Gemco ended in 1986. I searched the web and can't find anything so far about this new company. Do they have anything whatsoever to do with the original Gemco company or are they just riding coattails?
@fritters Hard to believe there are any coattails to ride of the 80's "Gemco" since the company went away 27 years ago!! That was so last generation... :)
Amazon and Pfaltzgraff have a whole lines of Gemco products. Someone must have bought the brand name.

I see the sales guys at work using CRM techniques where they have a massive database which reminds them when to call people, make notes about when and where they are going on holiday, etc. So, now I'm wondering how I could apply 'CRM' in my personal life as I feel I need it too in that context.
More specifically, are there any apps available for the iPhone that can help with something like that? I know I could just use Omnifocus with a standard GTD approach - I have used that with reasonable success.

We just made the Swedish recipe this morning, and it seems like crepes...
Looking at individual recipes, there is a great deal of overlap between Crêpes and Swedish pancakes. If, however, you compare hundreds of recipes, some clear differences emerge. There are also differences between the English interpretations of these recipes and those written in French or Swedish.
In the chart above, each cohort consists of at least 100 distinct recipe ratios, except for Ruhlman's Crêpes ratio which is provided for comparison.
A taste test of the Swedish recipe Pannkakor with French recipe Crêpes revealed the following differences:
Crêpes, on the other hand, are made on a Crêpe maker. The batter must be thick enough that it will not run over the edge. A T-shaped spreader is used to evenly coat the crêpe maker surface in a perfect disk shape.
Crêpes had a slight tendency to curl up at the sides after flipping so they cooked less evenly than the pancakes which stayed perfectly flat after flipping.
Flip side of a Crêpe (French recipe)
Flip side of a Swedish pancake (Swedish recipe)
I also tested Michael Ruhlman's Crêpes ratio. These curled up to a much greater extent than French recipe Crêpes after flipping and were, consequently, quite unevenly browned on one side.
Flip side of a Ruhlman's Crêpe
For anyone who wants to form their own opinion, here are the ratios and ingredients I used in the tests:
Swedish Pancakes (based on 200 Swedish recipes with distinct ingredient proportions)
Ingredient weight ratios: 1:3.5:1:0.16 (all purpose flour:milk:medium egg:butter)
Crêpes (based on 119 French recipes with distinct ingredient proportions)
Ingredient weight ratios: 1:1.97:0.75:0.17 (all purpose flour:milk:medium egg:butter)
Joe's comment prompted me to chart the ingredient proportions as a Baker's Percentage.
I'd say the difference, at least to Swedish people, is that crepes is more of a non-sweet main dish. If it's rolled up and filled with meat/vegetables/fish/mushrooms, and possibly with the addition of cheese on top of the rolls; the "Swedish pancake" turns into a crepe.
To Swedes, "pancakes" are exclusively had with sweet toppings such as jam, sugar, cream, ice-cream etc. Thus, it is often had as a dessert, or as a side-dish traditionally accompanied with yellow pea and pork soup.
So where the French would put any kind of toppings on their crepes, having it as a main dish or a snack, Swedes would traditionally put sweet toppings on their pancakes, calling it "crepe" only if it is prepared as a main dish and filled with non-sweet stuff;
While Wikipedia is not always the best source, in this case they do a good job explaining the different kinds of pancakes there are in the world: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pancake.
If you have had a crepe in France then you would know the difference between true Crepes and Swedish pancakes. While both are round, flat, and made of the same basic ingredients, the differences are profound. I also assume that there are very many Americanized versions of each; IHOP is not the authority of pancakes like they proclaim to be.
Crepes — if done correctly — are a lot thinner (like paper thin) than a Swedish pancake, and if done with a crepe maker don't need butter or flipping. You could actually just blow it off the crepe maker. The toppings also vary. In France I had them with chocolate, and various fruits. There are probably hundreds of varieties of toppings from sweet to savory.
Swedish pancakes on the other hand are a little thicker, but not thick and fluffy like American pancakes. They are usually served with some kind of sweet topping. The topping choice varies by family preference. In my family it was just plain table sugar. Maybe we would put raspberry jam, or if we really got creative then strawberries and whipped cream. Lingonberry jam in our family went with meat, not pancakes. There are plenty of varieties of recipes as well. My mom, a Swede, switched her recipe over the years, but she only got her recipes from Swedish magazines, cookbooks, or her family.
As a Swede, it does bother me when people call my pancakes "crepes" because that is not what I am making. Just like someone who is French wouldn't like having Swedish pancakes being called crepes. You are taking a word from one language to apply it to something from another culture (not necessarily the best way to do things). It would be like calling a hamburger a sandwich. While in theory the name could appear interchangeable, there are enough differences that warrant having two unique names for each food item.
My family has always made plättars, the tiny swedish pancake, cooked 7 at a time in what some would call a "Silver Dollar Pancake" pan. While similar to crepes, the biggest difference in the old family recipe that has been handed down to me is butter, more flour, and a small amount of baking powder. They are more substantial than crepes, but no where near as cakey as the American pancake. We served them with jelly or lingonberries and powdered sugar. But they are definitely not crepes, and not pancakes, but as usual the subtle differences get lost over generations in the great melting pot of America...
There is often a difference whether you live in southern Sweden or further north. I was used to eating lingonberries with our pancakes, whether the plättar from the special pan or the larger version. It is true that the traditional yellow pea soup on Thursdays would be followed by pancakes as a dessert. The traditions and habits vary a lot I believe and in the U.S. also depending on where the immigrants came from. I grew up in Malmö which is in the deep south of Sweden and is known for its culinary ways of eating. I use the same recipe for both varieties and that works fine, I do not put butter into the batter but butter the pans whichever one I use. So it is quite a simple batter and the base recipe is - half a cup of flour, one cup milk, two eggs, pinch of salt and sugar to taste (can be left out); whisk until blended and smooth, making sure any lumps are gone. It is indeed quite thin.
Crepe: little to no butter in batter. Higher egg proportion. Often sugar in batter if used as a sweet crepe.
Swedish Panckage: thicker, lots of butter.
In common: fine batter with no lumps (blender required), thin relative to American pancakes, can be stuffed, folded or topped
Difference: (besides recipe mentions above), Crepe can be savory/umami as well. Crepes are also reheated after stuffing, and may become crisp on the outside. Crepes are both a street food and a restaurant/home food, but Swedish pancakes are not a street food.
I do not think there is any difference. From what I know, crepe translates to the swedish "Pannkaka".
Galettes are savory buckwheat crepes. Crepes are sweet and made with regular flour. Swedish pancakes are served with lingonberry preserve. Swedish pancakes are a breakfast like thing. They are very similar however there are differences. Swedish pancakes are often eaten with potato sausage.
One thing I have noticed about all the crepe and Swedish pancake recipes onlline is that they skip a step that is quite important, that is, you should let the batter rest after mixing it up for at least half an hour. The difference in the consistancy and "flippability" of the pancake is very noticable. We used to call Swedish pancakes "latex pancakes" when I was a kid. They do have a kind of weird, stretchy quality, one that I find quite delicious.

I have a matrix of tiles, on some of that tiles there are objects. I want to calculate which tiles are visible to player, and which are not, and I need to do it quite efficiently (so it would compute fast enough even when I have a big matrices (100x100) and lots of objects).
I tried to do it with Besenham's algorithm, but it was slow. Also, it gave me some errors:
-@------ -@------ -@------
(raw version) (Besenham) (correct, since tunnel walls are
still visible at distance)
(@ is the player, X is obstacle, * is invisible, - is visible)
I'm sure this can be done - after all, we have NetHack, Zangband, and they all dealt with this problem somehow :)
What algorithm can you recommend for this?
Definition of visible (in my opinion): tile is visible when at least a part (e.g. corner) of the tile can be connected to center of player tile with a straight line which does not intersect any of obstacles.

If a Norwegian wants my approval then they should head over here with threshing oar and rape me into submission.
Oh the sexy tones of Mr Plant. I am coming.
An excellent intro, and an example to any who would wish to be welcomed warmly into the Destructoid community. I think in all fairness, you could have placed Morrowind in with the other popular games most gamers like, let's be fair here, it's harder to find a gamer who dislikes Morrowind than it is to find people who love it.
Also, thanks to your ancestors for discovering the land I was born into and currently reside. Any pussy can sail over on a Mayflower, it takes real men to row across the Atlantic in a fucking longship. (I'm aware they mostly kept to the shoreline whenever possible, but that is entirely beside the point)
I agree with you when it comes to Morrowind, but I love it so much I just had to add it! And NP, we aim to please!
Thank you all for the warm welcome, it warms my cold pixelated heart
What!? Pixels aren't cold, LIAR!
All welcomes and brownies are hereby revoked. You just had to go and be a liar on top of a raping, murdering pillager. You... *Shakes fist furiously*
Yo that was a damn fine intro. Welcome!

6 Absurd Gender Stereotypes (That Science Says Are True)
If you've watched bad stand-up or beer commercials or listened to awful morning drive time radio DJs (Science has yet to prove the existence of any other type) you know about all of the supposed differences between men and women. The #1 topic of conversation among male hack comics is their nagging, chatter-box wives, and for hack females it's... well, vibrators. But their insensitive, slob of a husband is a very close second.
Well, it turns out there's a reason those comics and beer companies keep making those jokes. Many of the exciting advances in brain mapping and genetic research are proving that some of the oldest, most hackneyed gender-based stereotypes are totally true.
Note: These days, it's very important to stay away from harmful stereotypes, whether you're Macklemore or, apparently, all of science. And by "these days" we are of course referring to all of the days. No matter what day it is, don't stereotype people, it's rude.
Unless you're using these stereotypes because these stereotypes are supported by science. And that's our official stance: It's fine to be rude as long as you have science on your side. -Cracked
#6. Women Can't Drive and Park For Shit
There is allegedly one thing women and blind men have in common: their ability to navigate. Even Google loves this stereotype, tossing back an impressive 75,200,000 hits when we typed in "women can't park."
Then there are the supposed differences in the ways women and men get from one parking spot to the next, a practice often referred to as "driving." According to the Hollywood formula, men navigate by compass directions and a stubborn refusal to ask for directions ever, while women get from here to there by using landmarks, a winning smile and a little leg. Tell a woman to turn north, then east and then north again and every sexist comedy writer we polled here at Cracked agreed she'd get turned around faster than a frog in a blender.
So, if this ridiculous stereotype were true, then Mother Nature has given men a serious edge in the "getting around" department. But that can't be right, because the decade of the 70s promised us that Mother Nature doesn't favor people based on race, sexual orientation or whether or not there are dangly parts between their legs.
This is what equality looks like.
What Science Says:
Several studies have shown that heterosexual men are better at both navigating by north-south directions and at orienting themselves in three dimensional space than women. Why did men win the spatial perception jackpot? No, the answer isn't sex this time, it's food. Well, actually, it's both.
Some things aren't better when combined.
In the days before grocery stores and mini malls, mankind had to actually go hunt and gather for his daily mammoth chops. Scientists think that testosterone helped early men find their way home again after a long day of hunting, ensuring that they were the ones impregnating their mates and continuing their line while the spatially challenged became saber tooth tiger snacks.
Not only that, but one researcher actually scanned the brains of over a million kids and found that by age four, the boys were already surpassing the girls in spatial ability by a ratio of 4:1. She also found that while girls did just fine at seeing two dimensions in the brain, boys had the ability to see a third dimension, allowing them to understand the concept of depth at an earlier age.
And yeah... the same isn't necessarily true for gay men, who tend to navigate like women. Literally. That was not an insult.
#5. Men Are Freaking Slobs
If detergent commercials have taught us anything, it's that the female nose is so highly evolved that it can pick out the stench of sweaty gym socks from a thousand paces. And once she has the scent in her delicate nostrils, a real woman cannot rest until the malodorous insult has been found, eliminated and replaced with a Linen Tides Breezy Cotton Fluff-n-Fresh (Now With Real Strawberries!) scent.
Their men, meanwhile, can wear the same sweat-stained T-shirt for a week, and will let garbage pile up in the kitchen until somebody calls the health department.
But that's loco right? It's like saying women were predisposed toward cleaning up after men or something, which is totally whack.
She LIVES for this shit.
What Science Says:
Women really are better sniffers than men. This is despite there being no physical differences between the male and female nose or the number of receptors they have. Not only are women better at detecting smells, but studies have also shown that women use a bigger chunk of their brains when processing smells than men do.
"Is that wet fish offal I smell?"
So why the difference? What biological reason can there be for your mom to be able to detect your sweat soaked socks through a closed door? The same reason that she was able to detect your dad's horny musk: sex. And though women generally detect all odors better, their noses really won the stink jackpot by having the knack for detecting male body odor.
Why? It seems that locked in that sweaty stench are chemical markers that can tell a gal when a fella is sexually aroused, even without her knowing it. Plus a woman's superhuman sense of smell is at its peak just as she's ovulating. So what does this mean for you? Forget Ax body spray. If you want to get laid, you need to smell like you've been watching porn in a sauna.
#4. Women Are Wimps
This is as basic as stereotypes get. Guys are bigger and stronger and traditionally are thought of as the more badass of the sexes. Women are frailer, smaller and prone to the sniffles at the slightest injury.
The one exception, of course, is childbirth, when even the weakest woman is an Amazon warrior when it comes to tolerating labor pain that would make a grown man whimper like he just took a paintball shot to the nuts. So call a woman frail, and she'll reply that if men had to give birth, the human race would have died out a long time ago.
What Science Says:
Women do have a lower pain threshold, but it has nothing to do with toughness. Men simply don't feel pain the same way women do, and what they do feel, they feel a lot less of. Women have more pain receptors in their skin for starters, amplifying their exposure to aches and pains.
Researchers believe it might be tied to the presence of GIRK2, a nifty little protein that not only affects pain threshold, but how well morphine and other painkillers work to block the pain once it's been inflicted. The next time you tell your girlfriend to walk off that cramp she got trying page 46 of the Kama Sutra with you, try to show a little compassion, she may just have less GIRK2 than you.
Ultimately, a woman's body can require more than double the amount of painkiller to get the same amount of relief.
The exception is when they are pregnant or have just delivered a baby. Endorphins and a cocktail of other feel good chemicals build up over the pregnancy, ensuring that mom can deal with the delivery and likely explaining the real reason expectant women have that special glow.
So, to recap, yes women have crazy strong pain thresholds right around childbirth, but any other time of their lives their capacity to endure pain is far less then men's, due to the way their nerves are wired up. Either way, be nice when her lady-days come.

This baby's back is turned and she's facing away from the ultrasound scanner. The skin is much less transparent than before since your baby is constantly laying down fat reserves beneath it. This fat accounts, in part, for much of your baby's weight gain from now on.
Your baby's eyes are now open, and both the eyebrows and the eyelashes have grown. The hair on your baby's head continues to get longer.
It's quite likely that your baby is making use of all the space available and may well be in a breech position (bottom down), at least some of the time. This is the case in a third of pregnancies at this stage but your baby's position is unlikely to stabilize until after 36 or 37 weeks. Because the shape of your uterus naturally favors a head-down position, only 3 to 4 percent of babies remain in the breech position after 37 weeks. It may be quite difficult for you (and your doctor) to tell the position of your baby at this stage. For example, just because the feet kick you in one particular place doesn't tell you much about your baby's position. She is very flexible and an ultrasound might show that she is doubled up with her feet on her head.
You know you've got pelvic girdle pain-or PGP-when sneezing hurts, you're waddling like an old woman, and turning over in bed is a major task (see Pelvic girdle pain (PGP)). Formerly known as SPD, or symphysis pubis dysfunction, PGP affects one in five pregnant women. It's caused by hormonal changes that change the way the pelvic joint functions and it can be extremely painful. Try the following if you have PGP:
Some time between 26 and 30 weeks your blood will be tested to check that you aren't anemic. If you are found to be anemic your doctor may prescribe iron pills for you. Because of an increase in the fluid content of your blood, your hemoglobin count is likely to fall later on in your pregnancy, so it's a good idea to address this issue now. Iron pills can cause digestive problems, such as constipation or diarrhea, so if this happens to you, ask your doctor if your prescription can be changed. The liquid medications available over the counter are kinder on the digestive system than pills, so ask your doctor if one of these is appropriate for you. If a previous blood test has shown that you're Rh negative, you'll receive an injection of Rh immunoglobulin (RhIg) at around 28-34 weeks. You'll get another shot after the baby is born.

Lighter 'n' guicker'n a varmint.
One of the most critical questions to ask yourself as you packed for a backpacking trip used to be "Should I carry the food or the tent?" It was the backpacker's version of Sophie's Choice—if you got separated, would you rather die of starvation or exposure? Thankfully, those choices are rapidly becoming irrelevant, thanks to superlight tents like the Big Agnes Jack Rabbit SL 3-Person 3-Season, which weighs in, fully kitted out, at only 4.5 pounds, so you can act like the tough guy and take the tent AND all the food, leaving your partners in the lurch while you camp in luxury.
If you're really looking to cut weight, you can use the Jack Rabbit in Fast Fly mode with the available footprint, trimming the weight down a full pound. It's easy to set up no matter how you choose to operate, with a two-pole hub design that gives you plenty of head room, and DAC Pressfit poles that are designed to eliminate pole failure in high winds. The fly has a vestibule for each door so you can stash your boots outside, and the walls are primarily polyester mesh, letting the Jack Rabbit air out so you're not sleeping in a fog of stinky, sock-smelling air (you can look at the stars, too, which is pretty nice).
All the Jack Rabbit's seams are taped, and the vestibule zippers are covered with storm flaps to ward off insidious water droplets. Reflective guylines and webbing reduce the risk of tripping and bringing down the whole tent like a rampaging Godzilla in Tokyo, and a Quick Sash tie makes it easy to leave the door open in bug-free environments.

Any tips for a soon-to-be husband?
I'm getting married this saturday and just wondering out of all the wooters out there, if any of them had any words of wisdom to share with this joyous day coming up :P. The wife is a fellow deal hunter so no issues there!
46 Answers answer
Yeah, go find a deals site and ask for some personal advice.
She should always be the most important person to you - and you to her. THAT will keep your marriage alive. It's worked for us and 33+ years.
And you should always get the last words in on any argument - "Yes, dear."
@mtm2: trust me, i've learned that one already :)
Happy wife=happy life :-)
Remember, what's hers is hers and what's yours is hers.
NEVER, EVER say - That's not how Mom does it. Trust me, just don't say it. Even if you mean it as a complement. It will be heard wrong and taken wrong and you will be in a world of trouble.
I've been married 30 years and my husband said that to me twice, early in our marriage. Silly man, he didn't learn that once was enough. lol
Congrats on the upcoming wedding. Enjoy your life together. Be each others best friend, but not the only friend.
It's an elaborate ruse!
run away
as fast as you can
as far as you can
don't look back
Vegas is waiting.
You do not need her permission to do anything and viceversa. Tha being said, try to always make them happy by running stuff past each other often.
don't drop the soap in the shower.
no wait, that's for a convicted felon.
The one thing I've learned after ten years with my wife, nearing six of them as married, is that it is more important to know what not to say than it is to know what to say. As you spend a life with someone, you let down many of the social guard rails that determine how you behave. You can be more blunt, honest, and reactionary with this person because you are life partners. I've always been known as a smart mouth, literally ever since I can remember, and the occasionally held tongue has done heaps of good for my marriage.
The best relationship advice I ever heard was on Bill Cosby's "Kids Say the Darndest Things". There was a little kid, maybe 6 years old, on stage, and people in the audience were asking him advice. One guy stood up and said he was always fighting with his girlfriend about what to watch on TV, what should he do about it? The kid asked, "Do you like this girl?" The guy replied, "Yes, very much." The kid responded, "Then learn to like her shows." There's a profound wisdom in that idea. Learn to love what the person you love loves.
Here's some really good advice as well:
You have a few days still. Ask yourself "why?" I think a lot of people do this for the wrong reasons (honestly, I don't know what the "right" reason is). I got married due to a pregnancy. My son is hands-down the greatest thing on the planet but being married has absolutely nothing to do with that (or anything else other than a tax status). I love my wife but after about three years of marriage, I still have no idea what the purpose of it is. Read the posts above this and think about whether you want to live your life watching what you say, getting in regular arguments and constantly buying presents.
Things will go wrong (both on the wedding day and afterwards). Don't stress too much about it, just fix it and move forward together.
Don't make a big deal out of small stuff.
Listen, listen, listen.
and make her laugh.
SO far that's worked for me... :)
Listen to your partner rather than seeking the advice of strangers from the internet.
Agree on the small stuff answer. If you sweat the petty stuff, you will never pet the sweatty stuff.
Be yourself. Always.
If you wouldn't leave them for it, is it worth arguing about it? Sometimes the answer is yes, sometimes no - but man it's worth knowing that going into a discussion.
Also, no name calling. At all. It just escalates so much fast when you call each other rude names.
Fight naked.
Rule #1 Your Wife is always Right
Rule #2 See Rule # 1
First I have been married for 14 years. I miss her when I am at work, and I can barely function when she goes out of town for a fancy lawyer meeting.
I always thought the "be afraid of your wife" stuff was sad. I would not want to be married to someone so emotionally unstable that I would need to tread lightly constantly in hopes she doesn't get pissed at me.
So my advice is : Always be honest, and love her for who she is .. not for who you want her to be.
It's important to spend time with each other but its also important to have alone time.
One thing I would highly recommend before getting married is to consider in your mind marriage as a commitment for life. Don't even contemplate the the possibility of divorce. I believe that divorce is right for some people, but you don't want to go into a marriage thinking that its a possibility for your marriage or you're going to have a rough time. A proper mind set can make a world of difference.
Make sure that your marriage is a partnership, not a dictatorship. Compromise or give and take will make you both much happier in the long run. When you can do menial chores/work together, doing the dishes together is much more enjoyable than doing them alone.
Don't be afraid to fight. It's much better for you or her to get it off your chest, just make sure your wife knows you love her and fighting isn't going to change that.
Congratulations and welcome to the happiest years of your life.
Wear sunscreen.
If I could offer you only one tip for the future, sunscreen would be it. The long-term benefits of sunscreen have been proved by scientists, whereas the rest of my advice has no basis more reliable than my own meandering experience. I will dispense this advice now.
Enjoy the power and beauty of your youth. Oh, never mind. You will not understand the power and beauty of your youth until they've faded. But trust me, in 20 years, you'll look back at photos of yourself and recall in a way you can't grasp now how much possibility lay before you and how fabulous you really looked. You are not as fat as you imagine.
Don't worry about the future. Or worry, but know that worrying is as effective as trying to solve an algebra equation by chewing bubble gum. The real troubles in your life are apt to be things that never crossed your worried mind, the kind that blindside you at 4 p.m. on some idle Tuesday.
(continues in next post...)
Do one thing every day that scares you.
Don't be reckless with other people's hearts. Don't put up with people who are reckless with yours.
Don't waste your time on jealousy. Sometimes you're ahead, sometimes you're behind. The race is long and, in the end, it's only with yourself.
Remember compliments you receive. Forget the insults. If you succeed in doing this, tell me how.
Keep your old love letters. Throw away your old bank statements.
Don't feel guilty if you don't know what you want to do with your life. The most interesting people I know didn't know at 22 what they wanted to do with their lives. Some of the most interesting 40-year-olds I know still don't.
Get plenty of calcium. Be kind to your knees. You'll miss them when they're gone.
(continues in next post...)
[snip] Maybe you'll have children, maybe you won't. Maybe you'll divorce at 40, maybe you'll dance the funky chicken on your 75th wedding anniversary. Whatever you do, don't congratulate yourself too much, or berate yourself either. Your choices are half chance. So are everybody else's.
Enjoy your body. Use it every way you can. Don't be afraid of it or of what other people think of it. It's the greatest instrument you'll ever own.
Dance, even if you have nowhere to do it but your living room.
RUUUUUUUUUUNNNNNNN!!!!! lol
Listen to her when she needs to vent, and at least seem like you are engaged in what she is saying and then just be there for her. Don't try to solve her problems, just listening is important.
And Congratulations!! Best Wishes for Saturday!!
I've only been married for about 2.5 years, so don't consider me an expert, but here are some thoughts that come to mind.
Your marriage is not the same as anyone else's. If it works for the two of you, then do it. Just because it's "normal" doesn't mean you need to do it, feel it, etc.
Say "thank you". I love that when one of us does something around the house (hold a door, take out the trash, wash the dishes, etc.), we say 'thank you'. It reminds us that we're grateful for each other and all the little things that we do for each other. It's not taken for granted that these things are done.
This one differs per the couple, but for us, it's important to have some "alone time". Sometimes that alone time happens while we're in the same room (I read while he plays a video game) and sometimes it's going out with friends separately, etc. It makes us grateful for the time we spend together and even gives us more to talk about.
NEVER lose your sense of humor. EVER.
(cont. next)
From what I understand it's strongly recommended that you not cheat on your wife.
Have a talk where you agree that no matter what you fight about or how terrible the fight gets, you're never going to end a fight with "We're getting divorced!" Early in our time living together pre-marriage we had our only knock-down, drag-out awful terrible no-good fight. I told him to get out and he did. I spent the next 30 mins. driving around the neighborhood trying to find him because I didn't actually mean for him to leave. We had a talk right then, confirming that that's never how we'll end it. We both have tempers, but we love each other and we're in it for the long haul. I think it's actually lessened our fights. We talk through things. Couldn't even tell you the last time I yelled at home when it wasn't at a cat.
It's a little late for this one, but don't be someone you're not. Lay all your cards on the table prior to tying the knot. Don't want kids? Absolutely despise punk music even though she loves it? Think all homes should be purple? Tell her now.
Say it with me: "yes dear"
@drsilentg: I almost forgot - CONGRATULATIONS!
(Also, make sure you both have a stash of a protein bar or something that day. People hate to let you take a minute to eat.)
I've been married for 3 months so far. Here's my $.02:
Ask for her help, even when you don't think you need it.
Compromise. Laugh. Tell her she's beautiful. Know when to shut up. Be honest.
Have fun!
Don't forget your sandwich!
You've gotten some great (and lovely) advice here. The only thing I would like to add is that you should both be prepared to put some work into the marriage, especially if you haven't been co-habiting. No one can get under your skin more than someone you love and spend most of your time with. Adjusting to a shared life, shared money, shared bills, shared responsibilities, etc. will take time. As my new FIL was driving DH and I from our wedding to our reception, I turned to my new husband and said something that he still talks about: "In my family, we don't divorce our men, we bury them." That was 31 years ago last May. It hasn't always been smooth or even easy, but it's always been worth it. God bless you and best wishes with your new and exciting life!
@benyust2: I hope to GAWD your wife doesn't visit Deals.Woot. For your sake.
And if she does, well.. Godspeed my friend.
Always upvote her posts.
Always know where your towel is.
Well, after 8 years of marriage I can share just a shred of advice.
Everything changes. Yes, it does. Even if you have been living together for years, the next year will be different.
Don't storm out mad or leave her upset, she is now your wife. Not a girlfriend or someone you brush off. Go to bed with things resolved. You will sleep better and wake up next to her happy.
Be open and talk about money. It is the primary killer in marriages. Have a don't ask spending limit (ours is $50). Anything over that, talk to her first. You'll find that the answer is almost always yes, but let her be a backup conscience and you the same for her.
Dates don't end when you get married, they just get less uncomfortable. Take her out, show her she is the most important thing in this world and she will do the same.
Give her flowers or a small gift, but not on "big days" like Valentines. Expected gifts are appreciated but unexpected amaze.
Listen. Remember. Ask. She will appreciate it.
@retorak: Great advice. It means the world to my wife when I help her empty the dishwasher. And it makes me just melt when I come home to see her shoveling the driveway even though I know I can knock it out with the snowblower - the effort is just too sweet to ignore.
I don't care if she works at a gas station - ask her about her day. Let her tell you about her day and how rough it was. It doesn't matter if she is a stay at home mom or a career person, we all need that outlet. Be that person for her.
And as @retorak said, don't be afraid to fight or argue. If you deal with the little things head on, the big things will fall in place.
Remember to SAY or write "I love you" or something often, daily is prefered.
When you are tired, frustrated and/or angry bite your tongue. You can really hurt the one you love because you know them and love them. You will have pet peeves and annoyances. Learn to live with them or wait and discuss them when you are calm and rested. It is not worth the life you want together to get upset over the small stuff and nearly everything is small stuff.
Best wishes and congrats!
Courthouse wedding ftw! As a deal hunter, she'll appreciate it.

I am a C, C++ developer. I am interested in mobile development. I want to know how can I develop Android apps using C and C++, I have read that they are providing a kit for C, C++ developers but it does not have all functions as of Java kit. Should I go for C/C++ development kit or it's better to learn java as they may not provide all the functionality in future?

This question appears to be off-topic. The users who voted to close gave this specific reason:
Short version : working with C++ on Android is possible and easier with each Android SDK/NDK version, but it's harder than working with Java.
Long version :
For each version, Google adds more functionalities to Android Native Development Kit and makes it more and more independant on the Java code.
Read http://developer.android.com/sdk/ndk/overview.html for more details:
The problem is just that if you use the most recent NDK, you'll not be able to deploy and a lot of not-recent Android versions.
Anyway even with previous NDK versions, you can have minimal Java code (for interacting with the OS) and the full application code in C++ or anything native.
There are also efforts in helping native developers to work fully in C or C++ via IDE plugins like this Vs-Android that is a plugin for Visual Studio 201x hiding all the compilation and generation process from you : http://code.google.com/p/vs-android/
Also, if you plan do port your application to other OS, going with C++ for the core of your application (maybe with a scripting language on top) is a good idea. It's just more expensive on development time than other alternatives - for reasons specific to C++ and it's available dev tools implementations, for example too much compilation times can kill your effective productivity.
That being said, that is not the most easy way to work on mobile apps.
I would advise you to go for C++ if you have a firm plan to go into Game Development. But if not, you better go for Java. Here is a good primer for you on the official android website:
Game Development for Android: A Quick Primer
NOTE: Please do read step 2 (Step Two: Pick a Language) of the tutorial.
If you do not know Java at all and like to develop apps on Android for the long term, it is essential to learn Java. There are great tutorials given on the official website. There is a nice book that you can grab for learning specifically for Android development: Here it is: Learn Java for Android Development
The answer is both.

Solaris Cluster, Sun Cluster Geographic Edition and Virtualization: The Art of the Possible
By timread on May 02, 2008
Virtualization is a hot topic right now. You only need look at what Sun is doing with our CoolThreads servers, our storage, our software, our Open High Availability Cluster (OHAC) HA-xVM and HA Container agent development work ... deep breath ... and our OEM agreements and I think you'll agree - it's everywhere. Consequently, it's generating lots of questions on our external cluster forum and resulting in several posts to the Solaris Cluster blog, including this one.
So does virtualization mean that the need for clustering goes away? Far from it! Now that you've consolidated your multiple, independent servers into a single virtualized platform, you've effectively put more of your 'eggs' in a single basket. If the services are mission or business critical, you are still going to need to protect them. And how are you going to do that? Solaris Cluster, of course. Oh, and what about disaster recovery? Critical services need protection against fire, flood, natural disasters. That's where Sun Cluster Geographic Edition comes in. Is your head hurting yet?
As with any rapidly evolving technology, it's important to understand the ramifications of what you are doing, as well as be able to navigate the what-works-with-what matrix. Failure in either department could result in an unsupported configuration or an implementation that doesn't achieve the levels of service you would expect.
When I first suggested to my colleagues that I would author something on this topic, I had no idea what I was letting myself in for. I can usually talk to one expert, or consult one document and get all the information I need. But as you'll have realised from the preamble, the combination of virtualization and clustering spans many boundaries. So, I am indebted to the many colleagues who provided information and reviews for the Blueprint that resulted from my rash suggestion.
I hope you find "Using Solaris Cluster and Sun Cluster Geographic Edition with Virtualization Technologies" saves you a lot of head scratching when your colleague, manager, or professor asks you, "And how do Solaris Cluster and virtualization technologies work together?".

In reference to Dash, the company who took this patent out, is it still possible to build an app that enables patrons to pay their bar tab via mobile device but using different methods?
From what I understand, the patent covers a mobile phone communicating with a POS system for the specific purposes of organizing, viewing, and paying your bill. (phone to POS)
If someone designed a widget installed on the POS system to communicate w/ the phone, would that necessarily infringe on this patent if it solves the same problem as the invention described in this patent? (phone to widget, widget to POS)
- A method for allowing a customer to view and at least partially pay a bill incurred in a bar or a restaurant, the method comprising:
- Operating a POS system at the bar or the restaurant for tracking the bill and the bar or the restaurant having staff, wherein the POS system communicating with a customer mobile computing device;
- Receiving, via the POS system, customer check-in data at the restaurant or the bar in response to checking-in via the mobile computing device and customer payment account data as a payment security in response to authorizing access to the payment account data via the mobile computing device;
- Validating, via the POS system, the received payment account data for payment capability;
- Receiving, via the staff, an order from the customer using the POS system and associating, via the staff, the order with the validated payment account data in the POS system through utilizing the check-in data, wherein the check-in data indicating the customer as being physically present in proximity to the POS system;
- Displaying the bill in real-time via the mobile computing device upon the associating, the bill including the order;
- Receiving at least partial payment according to the validated payment account data in response to authorizing the at least partial payment via the mobile computing device;
- Tagging other visitors by the mobile computing device, tagging indicative of presence of the other visitors in the bar or the restaurant, the customer and the other visitors splitting the bill via the other visitors submitting the other visitors payment information only, the other visitors operating personal mobile devices; and
- Tagging the other visitors by the mobile computing device when the other visitors also check-in via the personal mobile devices.
The claim as written seems highly specific. Can one tweak a design with the end goal of allowing users to pay for tabs mobily, without infringing on this patent?

WERCing it in North Carolina
July 30, 2010 - MMH Editorial
In a continuing effort to reach logistics professionals across the country, the Warehousing and Education Research Council (WERC) has announced the formation of a new WERCouncil in North Carolina.
WERC CEO Michael Mikitka said, "We wholeheartedly welcome our hard-working volunteers who are taking time out of their busy schedules to start up this grassroots effort. WERC's strength lies in their dedication."
In an interview with Modern, Mikitka explained the importance of WERCouncils that offer education and networking at the local level. "Because the board defines their own local needs, the group can be more responsive to members in the area."
Mikitka also said that WERC helps the local leaders identify speakers, programs and tours that best suit specific needs. "This is particularly important because people who don't travel to national WERC events are able to get the same benefits of the organization."
The new WERCouncil group president is Sheila Benny, Optricity. Directors-at-large indude the following: Kristen Basmajian, Optricity; Steve Hensley, Blue Sky Technologies; Walter Martin, NC Consortium for Logistics Education; Jennifer Miller, Lord Corporation; and Fred Voss, Newstar Logistics.
About the Author
Lorie King Rogers, associate editor, joined Modern in 2009 after working as a freelance writer for the Casebook issue and show daily at tradeshows. A graduate of Emerson College, she has also worked as an editor on Stock Car Racing Magazine.

When I'm building up my base, I sometimes find myself wasting time trying to get a single worker off of my resource line so that I can build something. I often miss or have to chase after them if I'm trying to single click, and dragging often selects more than one, at which point I have to try again or click on one in the selected units list. It seems like it would be best to grab one right after it's returned its resource and is heading back for another, but they're also moving the fastest at this point. It's easier to grab them while they're mining, but then they're carrying resources around and this feels wasteful. Is this minor optimization unnecessary, or am I missing something? Should I just keep a dedicated builder idle for easy selection (as terran or protoss)? Put one on a hotkey?
So obviously selecting 1 is better than a group, but a little known fact:
Workers smart cast!
This means if you select a group of workers and try to build something, the nearest worker (and only him) will go to build the building. Additionally if you build more than one thing, the two nearest will go to do the task. This means you don't need to worry about selecting more than one (provided you don't issue any move orders), just select the group and build away!
Don't select all your workers and use smart cast, make sure you only grab workers that are on minerals. You don't want to pull a worker from gas and then later put him back on minerals. You'll be short a worker on gas, which is very easy to miss.
In the early game, when there isn't that much to do, you should get used to selecting a worker individually on his way back from mining, then watch him drop his resources off, and then tell him to build. This is better than smart casting. Later on when you've got a lot to do this'll be way too time intensive, so at that point you can switch to using smart casting.
Also, tell your worker to build the building, and then shift right click on your minerals. That way he'll go back to mining the moment he's done, which means no time is wasted.
No, don't have any builder idle if you can help it. Really I just single click, I know you tried this but I would guess that is the best way to get just one. Just spam click if you have to until you get one, eventually you'll get better at aiming anyways.
Another note: If you hit F1 it will select a worker who is doing nothing!
I do the shift-cntl f1 at game beginning to select all probes and send them to mine.
Then I select 1-2-3 probes and put them in groups 1 2 and 3, which serves as builder, expansion, scout as the game goes on.
After watching a lot of starcraft 2 replays, I've learned to single-click a worker early in the game and bind him to a hotkey for whenever I need him. Although having read that workers smart-cast, I may stop doing this and just double-click to select them all.
What you can do is set up one worker to a bind
This can be done with any unit, therefore a lot of people use it for their Void Rays etc etc
Using the Hotkey has the advantage of being able to build things while your workers are not visible on the screen.
I just bind 3 (sometimes more) workers to a hotkey.
One note to make if you select 5 workers and hit B(build) S(supply depot) and click where to build only 1 scv will go to build it even though you selected 5. Obviously this still works no matter what you build but you don't have to just select one you can select any number of them and just give one command. Each command you give after that the next one will go and do the building.

The following is a homework problem:
For a fixed $a \in \mathbb{R}$, determine the dimension of the subspace of $P_n(\mathbb{R})$ (the vector space of polynomials of at most degree $n$) defined by: $$W = \{f \in P_n(\mathbb{R})\,|\, f(a) = 0\}.$$
I can't imagine what the basis would look like for $W$ though. Or do I not even need the basis? Can I figure out the dimension without knowing the basis?
Could you give some helpful hints or a framework for solving this and similar problems?
Note: I'm not looking for the answer itself since this is homework.

State Police arrest a Todd County man after they find more than a million dollars worth of marijuana in his home.
KSP says they found the "pot" when they searched Mervin Sears' home in Elkton Tuesday.
They say they recovered about 455 pounds of marijuana. That has a street value of nearly $1.5 million. They say they also found more than 300 marijuana plants. They are worth more than $61,000. Troopers also discovered 10 firearms and more than $16,000 in cash.
Sears is charged with cultivating and trafficking marijuana, and possession of drug paraphernalia.
