Yes, I agree that matrices should not be a list of lists. I think they should be an array of arrays for some algorithms and sparce 
matricies for others. However, lists have been all I've had to play with since I've been so busy lately. Maybe stuff will slow down when 
classes start so I can get my coding fix every day ;)

LOL, I have to remember that one. But of course I actually meant "but at 
least I know my fscking acronyms". If that's not taken yet, I'm going to 
patent it... ;-)

I have this page http://www.noslang.com/ bookmarked for a very good
reason. Typing in BALIKMFA gave no results so it's probably not taken.

Did you look up AAAAA?

Thanks for that link, it's an invaluable resource in these modern times. ;-)

No, but I could already guess that it was some "Anonymous XYZ" kind of 
thing...
