Which dumbass thought we should call everyone who isn't white "People of Colour"?
1. Black isn't a colour.
2. White is all colours.
3. White people change colour when cold, ashamed, hot, sick, dead, and they're born pretty red. Black people stay black.
"People of colour" is probably the most offensive way to call black people, right before "nigger".

Hello all
Its been a while. I'd like to play some quality gunboat games for old times sake. I'd like to be at least 101 point buy in. 24-36 hour phases so everyone has time to get moves in. etc. This is sort of an invitational so I'd like to get some good players to play against.

Why do people play Gunboat?
I'm not denouncing the game mode here. I was just wondering why people want to play Diplomacy without the negotiation aspect. To me, it seems to defeat the purpose of playing the game. I would be happy if someone could clarify this for me.

Why are there non anonymous games?
Since meta gaming is strictly prohibited and frowned upon I have to say I see no benefit to having non anonymous games. All it does is allow people to carry grudges or othe stuff from past games rather than playing the game at hand. Similarly, there seems to be no clear reason why usernames can't also change

So I hate to join all the desperate cries for help on the forum, but . . .
Does anybody here know where I could find efficient study aids for learning about general vector spaces (subspaces, basis, matrix transformations, etc.), eigenvalues & eigenvectors and general linear transformations? Using the textbook is very slow and I only have a few days.
tendmote (100 D(B))

Back when I was a kid, the "Schaum's Outline of Linear Algebra" was pretty good, heavy on application, light on theory, good for blitzing through and getting into practice. HOWEVER, I studied this stuff in the pre-internet age, so there may be better online things now. (The book does still exist.)

Nope. I found my college textbooks rather poor, and never really got to grips with them.

have you tried Khan Academy? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PhfbEr2btGQ

If you have some specific questions I (and others) can probably help, but I don't know of a good resource other than a textbook to learn about Linear Algebra.

I used Khan academy to cram when I missed the class before a test last semester, and it seemed a little slow, but ymmv.

MIT video lecture by Gilbert Strang, author of the most used textbook on linear algebra. I have personally never used his video lecture, but friends tell me it's one of the best.

I feel your pain. Eigenvalues, Eigenvectors et al are really quite straightforward and yet get made to look painfully complicated in almost every textbook that mentions them.

Linear Algebra Done Right by Sheldon Axler is, at least in my opinion, the best intro to linear. You can easily find a PDF of it online.
Pepijn (212 D(S))

Linear Algebra by Klaus Jänich (translated from Germany as you might imagine with that name) is in the German edition 200 A5 pages, so fairly thin. You certainly can get through it within a few days. Not much on exercises, though, but for the concepts is is a good introduction.

Is Communism a form of religious belief?
Is Communism a form of religious belief, where instead of seeing God’s hand at work in all things, one sees the class struggle? When historical events are re-interpreted from a Communist viewpoint in a discussion with non-Communists, is the effect the same as when believers re-interpret historical events as divine intervention, in a discussion with atheists?
