Milo: There's a quote on Bash of some guy saying that he's going to learn assembly as his first language because it's simpler than C, and has "short words". BASIC was the first language I learned, and it is much harder than C. My advice is that you learn C, C++, or Java before trying ... |

Milo: If b5 is such a good move, then we should play it before he does. My vote is for 34...b5 ;) |

Milo: Why would anyone cheat on the daily puzzle? I mean, if someone wanted to do that sort of thing, they could just post "I got it" after every puzzle and not even worry about using a computer to find the solution. |

Milo: <America still has major crime / racial desintegration / lack of jobs / etc to take care of.> My understanding is that America has far less racism and unemployment than most Western European nations, although I'm not sure how it compares to the Scandinavian states in particular. |
