A buddy of mine and I want to take a spring break trip in Vancouver, B.C.!

What race do you play and why? | So I guess I'm still nascent enough as that I haven't really settled into the pure dedication to one of the three races that is sensible for training purposes.

Dear Reddit, what is your opinion on John Cage? | In particular, his 4'33 'composition'. I got tricked into joining a fine arts class taught at Uni and this is pretty much all we have discussed for the past four weeks or so.
I think all the attention he has gotten is contrived bullshit, but I'd like to learn how others feel.
EDIT: I think I will let this *official... |

Ask proggit: How to crawl MySpace social graph? I am aware that there is an API but... (DIT) | It appears as though in order to retrieve information about a user the user must have that application installed.

I've only lived in areas that are <5% Asian, so it's not like it just kind of happened that way. When I start dating a guy and I find out that most of his exes and hookups have been Asian, I bring up thi... |
The private language argument. Do you think it destroys 500 years of philosophy? If yes, what's next? | I gave no link because I assume everybody who has anything intelligent to say about it can research it himself. Consider it a filter.
