Our rules have been updated and given
their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!
Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it,
follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.

but i have it on the box
Basically the observation is that the former have beards, and the latter do not.
Admittedly this is based on a sample size of eight, including the lecturer.
I'm not going to play an MMO where you have to pay $10 or whatever to change your characters abilities.
I have it on PS3.
Also PC, whee THQ >.>
Actually that was planned from the get go.
All the Cryptic/PW f2p games are like that. STO and Champions as well.
Probably. The writer of the 18th and 19th Century had to manage the trick of remaining comprehensible to a non-specialist (but educated) reader while also ensuring the book is a worthwhile scholarly work in its own right. Whereas now an academic work can assume a subject specific academic audience the pop sci stuff only has to appeal to a lay audience (and arguably the "lower" it can be pitched, the better).
Some of this is likely counting the hits and ignoring the misses, though. In the same way everybody ignores the vast quantity of awful 60s music.

Krugman's best scholarly research.
... why would you waste time watching a show you don't enjoy anymore? GO OUT AND GET SOME FRESH AIR!
Friedman's Methodology is over-emphasized; it doesn't reflect how economics works at all. It is no longer thought, as Friedman did, that competitive selection is guaranteed to approximate optimal choice. Rather the motivation is that if we fling back the curtain, we see ten thousand alleged puppeteers. And our mathematical tools are bluntly not good enough to identify which one. Going by numerical simulation favours the orthodoxy but doesn't guarantee it, which isn't good enough because we don't even have the tools to give a sensible judgment over how much this translates to a probability of correctness.
At some point, almost certainly within my lifetime, some bright graduate student who majored in solid-state physics will stroll over and give economics an actual microfoundation.

Friedman had the right idea.
But as you said he took it to far and it stopped reflecting reality.
Which is why I brought up North. Because he said what you are saying. :P
Of course there is a good chance that physics student will create another mess do to forgetting the unpredictability of human action since it is such a fun mix of confounding variables. But he might get it right.
I think those lovely numerical simulations are important but still think putting too much emphasis on it till we reach a point we can account for the majority of those confounding variables and how they interact means it will always be meh.
We are not quiet to psychohistory yet.
Also you should read some stuff on futures, shit is crazy awesome.
"I don't understand how any country could collect debts owed by America. We have all the best guns and battleships and whatnot."
*turns red*
That isn't how national debt works.

"It's not like China can invade Fort Knox and get their money back. We have nukes. We can just tell them to get lost."
I think we are well past the point where we are still unsure whether there is some systematic aggregate phenomena going here, aggregates that are far more entrenched that human variability. No: people in the aggregate do behave in given fashions. What we lack are theories that do well enough outside local linear approximations for us to start pinning down more and more empirics. We only need to lock down the second and third order, any higher degrees are useless in the long run anyway.
Keep clicking.
It will work eventually.

From what I've seen, they also implementing the ingame currency to zen conversions.
So while it takes time, it can be done for free. (also it should be $5)

Good lord.
Because its so close to over and I kind of want to see how it ends, but I don't really care that much. . .
Kind of like 30 rock. I didn't watch the last half of the last season. I also never watched the last episode of the Sopranos.

The actual ads are pretty stupid - "can you rescue the princess?!" SMB-era nonsense - but the date is only a few years before e-Sports really became a "thing" in the public eye.
the comic was printed between '85 and '90, according to the copyright page.
It's linked to your cryptic account/perfect world account.
So if you've tried STO, CO, any of their other games you already have an account.

I think I may have made an account for STO but never used it.

Is there a Laffer curve for the optimal amount of Jar Jar Binks?
i was dickin around and talkin about learning statistics
and my friend said "classes are useless compared to on the job experience buddy"
and I actually felt a little offended
I already forgot everything you told me about it
But do I need to know anything from SS1?
Dude. That was a mixup. That did happen..in march. People at work work were telling me CoastCon was today. They confused that with Free Comic Book Day. totally different. I missed the Con. It seems like it is usually the weekend of Free Comic Book Day, so people were probably all confused since they had it early this year. So no, unfortunately. But if they are doing stuff like that at CoastCon, you better believe I'll be there next year
