Some of these prices seem too good to be true. I know the accommodations on some of these are pretty sparse but the listings on some of these properties include transportation, guide, food for a price that would be reasonable at any hotel w

This was one of my favorite lab assignments when I was at university. If I recall correctly this lab was run back to back with another really fun one out of the same book. The other had to do with modifying code to take advantage of some co

Over my lifetime riding bikes I have witnessed two major crashes where both non helmeted victims survived with life changing traumatic brain injuries. One fell off a low bridge and the other was riding causally along and somehow ended up go

Some of the mega corps do have some really cool work going on. It's not all rank-and-file development, I'm not even talking about R&D. The cities are fairly small compared to other larger midwest cities and if you have a decen

Our light rail and commuter rail system is a joke. I mean, they are nice to have but decades of NIMBYism and political interference delayed and morphed them into systems that work but are shadows of what they could have been. IMO the one th

I'm in the same camp as you. I really like this hardware but I don't want to use Windows. I don't think we'll see any good support for all of the modes it can operate in on other operating systems though at least not for

I played this game a lot when it was still early access. I thought it was pretty fun but there were some bugs at the time that messed up several prisons i had built. I gave up playing shortly after that. I assume those bugs have been fixed

I wonder how well this would work on carpeted stairs? Since the treads are gripping only the 'nose' of the stair is there the possibility of slippage on the pile? What if the padding gave way or the treads pulled the carpet away f
