Nair is another example of this... I see that the girls are nodding and the guys have not idea what I'm talking about. Hm... You know the lotion that removes hair from you legs? Still getting blank stares, I guess guys wouldn't know about that... Oh, do you guys remember the short-shorts commercial? Aha! Recognition!

In a rush I made an overgeneralized statement during lecture today. Actually only for functions like sine and cosine, the definite integration over their period leads to zero. This is not even true for the square of a sine or a cosine function. You may easily construct periodic functions whose definite integration over their period will not be zero.

When you're talking about philosophy, it's kind of like woodcraft. I want to give you the tools to think for yourselves. If you're lost in the woods, you can tell which direction is north by looking at moss on tree trunks. But you always want to use the best tools for the job. If the sun was rising in the West, you'd want to use that instead."

I am shooting myself, can you stop me? I'm dead--I don't care. You allow the user to do dumb things and you are not what--protecting! Is user going to foil the trust? No? I'm not defending FORTRAN folks! We are trying to understand the mind of the designers. And maybe we'll learn from their mistakes.

Dr. Soliman's classes are colloquially referred to as "The Soliman Show" because of how excited he gets when talking about languages. On this day, he was discussing FORTRAN's "COMMON BLOCK" functionality, which is like "union" in C.
