I visited the Dominican Republic several years ago, and at the all inclusive free beer stand people were getting glasses of 50% El Presidente pilsner and 50% soda water. To me that was a little bit alien, because it implies they like the t

Just my 2 cents: I worked on the DNS in Windows Server back in the 200x's (validating the UI and back-end functionality, not dev work), so I did have to learn about it at one point and I recall that there was a vicious level of comple

When I got back from the army, I showed the girl I was staying with a picture of my sergeant and told her that was my boss. She said, "No way, he's too young to be a boss!" FFS, he was at least 25.

I read something about that years ago, and the thing that made it stand out was how binary it was. You could smoke for twenty years, then one day you get a tiny mote of some radioactive element stuck in your lung and all the sudden it&#x27

The thing that made me think of it was that several years ago I went on vacation to a different state and when I got there the rental car company turned me away because my license had expired a couple of days prior. I hopped in a cab, went

Not trying to put on a tinfoil hat here, but there's a clause in the laws about Real ID that says you can only have one form of it. I think they put that in there so they have the option of revoking it and preventing people from trave

Where I live there are a lot of non-fruiting cherry and plum trees planted for shade, so I can imagine people grafting on a fruit bearing branch here and there.

Look at moneybags over here with his "megs" of RAM. I think mine only had 256K available after the kickstart disk was loaded.

I think it might be a little more nuanced than that. I have a friend who's still alive today because he was driving a Lexus SUV when a Honda Accord blew through a red light and collided with him at speed. Should he downgrade his car

In the early 2000s, there was no integration between the Windows build environment (Razzle) and Visual Studio. It was common for a dev to keep their own .sln file on their dev box so they could work on their component, while the actual bui
