A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

They're supposed to have them in the mail on 1/31. So if you call, you can harass them safely.

And yeah, Numbers doesn't really inbolve math. It's like, a hot guy occasionally mentioning the word "equations" and a whiteboard. It doesn't even make me twitch.

EDIT

Huh. Medium is based on a "real likfe research medium" named Allison Dubois.

I didn't know it was supposed to be based in RL.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I am still in love with Luke in that complete love of secret fictional boyfriends. However, I would very much like to have my very own Logan. For his complete ease with himself and unabashed confidence may be the singlemost sexy thing on tv right now, in combination with his smirky smile that is.

GG has officially made me boycrazy, even with the crying and the sadness and hopelessly alone forever thoughts.

"In the equation E = mc⬧, c⬧ is a pretty big honking number." - Scola

Wait, they used P=NP? ... how?

Folks, I give up. Any perl people out there? I've got a bunch of expressions which may occur in the text but may have linebreaks in them at random (well, word-boundary) points. How do I match them?

As an unsolvable problem the math dude was obsessed with as escapsim from RL.

Oh. Well, that works okay.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Emily, you want to change any spaces in your regular experssions with "\\s", (or probably "\\s+"). Backslash-S will match any whitespace character, including a line break. Also, make sure you include an "s" after the regex.

So, $x =~ /this is a test/ will match the string "this is a test"

but, $x =~ /this\\s+is\\s+a\\s+test/s match the phrase "this is a test" even if it has line breaks in it.

If I only had a brain...

Well, we don't know it's unsolvable. Just unsolven.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.

I like both Numb3rs and Medium. I like the actors on Numb3rs and the real lifeness of the marriage on Medium. Patricia Arquette alone does nothing for me, but I like the situations the character gets into.

I had a dream the other night that I was trying to help someone who doesn't get algebra get a handle on it. I told her to substitute familiar things like commodities for the abstract x & y, etc. Like s=shoes, and p=purses and so on. It worked for her. I have no idea if it would really work, I flunked algebra all three times I was trying to take it.

Art Crawl!!!

Hey, the Bloodhound that won the Hound Group is the one that one the National show last month.

Cool.

I watch Numb3rs and Medium. I like them both. I don't worry about the Math because mathiness is not me. Also, I love Joe DuBois and the kids and Allison's very non-glam home-life.

Also, I just read an interview with David Krumholtz where he says that the 3 in the title should really be a sigma and he's been trying to get the PTB to change it but so far it hasn't worked.

Wasn't he Wednesday Addams geeky boyfriend at camp in Addams Family Values?
