I second Phish! Upbeat, mostly instrumental, epic!
Re:$10K for solving a math equation on Monday June 13, 2011 @05:55PM (#2650888)
231 + 158 + 553 + 68 = 1010

Of course that leaves the infinite omega. 1010 appears to be base 2. So, "10 to infinity" maybe? Maybe? Maybe not. Alright, my 2 minutes of thinking about this are up!

I had a very similar experience at an Indian restaurant in Salt Lake City. Once the server became aware we had a Groupon we were treated poorly. Since that experience, I have resisted the urge to use Groupons as I would like to avoid being treated as an inferior.
Re:Intro to Phish on Thursday May 26, 2011 @04:30PM (#2589324)
Phish is worth giving a listen. I've loved it for years and have always had a tough time introducing friends and colleagues. It is extremely rare to hear phish on the radio which is a shame. They provide uplifting and positive music. Long live phish!
Re:Create anagrams with Python on Monday May 23, 2011 @11:59AM (#2576355)
By reading the example, I noticed that the word (or phrase in this case) "pythonic prose" is being used as the large word.

The line: matching_anagrams = getAnagramsFor("pythonic prose")

So, chest, chin, and the other output are derived from the "pythonic prose" literal. So, that should explain the "mystery" word you were searching for.

Re:The power of back references and Python on Monday May 16, 2011 @03:40PM (#2553867)
I agree with your point about using backreferences as an html parser. I think the point of the post is regular expressions and back reference usage.
