    Deciphering a coordinate system in an XML file

    Hello, firstly I have to make the usual apologies of ignorance and inexperience, but that's why I'm here! I have a library of XML files which each contain two sets of image data. Together they make something very similar to this:http://imgur.com/vjs7MRH The grey and red points are given in...

    Lingusitics Reading Body Language: Help for a 15-Year-Old

    The fact you bring up her eye dilation is an indicator of 2 things: nerdishness, and stalkishness. Stop wondering if she likes you or not and analysing her pupils, forget about all of that, just talk to her, if it goes well ask her out. If she laughs at you then she's an arsehole and it's a...

    Is it OK to fly if rail is too expensive?

    I don't personally know anyone who has made the same decision not to fly, I've made the decision based on sound evidence that flying short haul is unsustainable at the current rate. If I don;t need to fly short haul, then surely it would be logical not to. Yes trains can be as bad at medium-haul...

    Start another thread, exactly the same but ask people to "choose a non-random" number then subtract that distribution from this one and you have a random distribution. easy

    Lingusitics Reading Body Language: Help for a 15-Year-Old

    You need to relax; maybe you're right and she likes you maybe not. You give the impression that you sit next to her but you don't talk to her much. If you just acknowledge her when you see her and ask how she is, she'll will acknowledge you more, then oppurtunities will arise for you to talk...

    Is it OK to fly if rail is too expensive?

    Why all the vitriol? You're extrapolating a lot from my post. Even if my motivation for reducing the impact of my journey was to look cool, would it matter? I take this to mean you're not an advocate of anthropogenic climate change; this is where we differ. I would be interested to hear why...

    Is it OK to fly if rail is too expensive?

    It's better to think of my individual carbon footprint. If I fly it would be the single biggest factor in my footprint. And to take your example: if there are 1000 flights through heathrow, a 0.1% drop would be 1 flight. Hardly a massive reduction. I can only affect my actions. The graph...

    Is it OK to fly if rail is too expensive?

    http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/6955009.stm You're right to question it, I just used it as a crude example of what other emissions are, it's the first one I found. (I'm at work, shouldn't really be on here!) By the way I found a connecting train that was cheaper, altogether it's £150...

    Is it OK to fly if rail is too expensive?

    Nothing is certain, particulaly in this case, evidence is a reason for belief. The evidence that I have read from various perspectives leads me to believe that flying is probably the worst form of transport over short haul(ish) distances. I'm a hypocrite, I can;t tell anyone else not to fly...
