You mean Shell? It's a gas and oil company.

Yeah, even when I got the right "colour" if my colour was too dark, or too light, it really punished me. Like downwards of 30/100 for the wrong shade. :(

At my school, "full time" meant 4 or 5 courses per term. "Part time" was 3, 2 or 1.Also there were three terms per year. So if a credit hour is an hour of class per week. Our classes all had 3 hours per week, so 4 classes is 12 credit hours

Well it's $2,000 per year, not per semester. Are semesters a year long in most vocational schools? I guess this program would work for anyone who wanted to pursue a vocational program as a part-time student while slaving away in an Amazon w

I got through the bulk of the page thinking, "Hey, this isn't so bad". But when I got to the $2,000 maximum part I had to stop and re-read it... What's vocational tuition like in the States? Is $2,000/year for 4 years actually going to cove

From Wikipedia: "Determined to find results, Stratton wore the telescoping glasses for eight days straight. By day four, his vision was upright (not inverted). However on day five, images appeared upright until he concentrated on them; then

In regards to that slashdot article's comment, the comparison to watching a movie screen doesn't really explain it for most of us, I think. There was an experiment[1] that had participants wear vision-inverting glasses for a while. Eventual

Often it's what you don't know that you don't know that bites you in the ass. As long as you know that you don't know it you're on the right track.

Yeah, using this just reminds me of how much I hate copyright law and geographic restrictions. Netflix is great, but the Netflix movie selection in Canada is... paltry, in comparison.

To all the people commenting about how "this isn't a big deal" you need to keep in mind the big picture. A future hiring manager might find this copied/stolen resume, and presume that the OP had copied the staff leasing company's "master pr

On a side note, I wonder how long he'll remain unemployed with his resume on HN's front page? :) Maybe this cloud has a silver lining? Pardon the cliche. ;)

Oh cool! I got taught to line up the number in columns, carry the one, etc... really a painful way to do addition. :(

I couldn't help but notice the actual logo wasn't one of the download options. Although inspecting the element tells us that the original logo is at https://a248.e.akamai.net/assets.github.com/images/modules/h... I'm not entirely sure wha

I thought I was weird for always breaking apart multiplication problems in my head like that. Good to know I'm not alone. Same with addition, 1324 + 1872 is just 2000 + 324 + 872 which is just 3100 + 24 + 74 which is 3196. Math is about cre

Don't forget about Max Schrems from Austria. He got Facebook to send him on their data on him (at least most of it) I couldn't find the original news article I read when it first came out but here seems to be a good summary of what he found

The University of Waterloo in Canada. Great school if you really love math. But like I said, too many of my professors didn't make the slightest effort to relate the theoretical concepts to the real world.

That's the main problem with automating as much as possible, and having as few customer service reps as possible. It feels like talking to a brick wall when something non-standard happens. If this issue gets resolved in light of the publici

This is why government regulation can be healthy. Ideally, ad replacement like what you described would be illegal. In a purely capitalist world it would be encouraged. Apologies for getting political. But you paint an all-too-possible pi

Here, here! I think that as the way information is handled transforms and evolves the world will have to adapt. I suspect getting floor plans of each and every store where these glasses operate wouldn't be feasible so having staff around to

No kidding! On a related note, it's always fun to demonstrate code's sensitivity to minor alterations to a non-technical person and see their reactions. For example, just remove a semi-colon from a random PHP file that gets included in your

I find it ironic that a new e-currency designed to remove the need for cash or cumbersome online payment methods would reward it's challenge winners with probably the most cumbersome currency; gold bullion.

Our plastic monopoly money is the bees knees. But in all seriousness, if MintChip is for real and doesn't get hacked, and if I can finally say good bye to the penny (which I have already been getting rid of for over 2 years) then I'll have

Blogs are published, and meant to be read by people. "Off limit" questions answered in a blog would be comparable to determing an applicant's race and gender in a face to face interview, unless I'm mistaken. Facebook, as seen from a logged
