certain engineering disciplines require a degree, but the value of a CS degree at the moment is dubious imo. - in my experience, what schools teach is the "theory" of CS, which only sometimes overlaps with the "practice"

Vancouver's poverty is kind of odd and I think not entirely comparable to other areas. It's concentrated in just a couple of blocks on hastings, in a highly visible area. The overall homeless rate is actually higher in less populo

I'm not sure if this is intended, but I'd imagine single-finger controls would fall back to the buttons layout. It would be pretty impractical to have this as the only way to control the infotainment system, since there'd be

possible explanations - not sure about the over-abundance of energy. I remember several episodes where energy shortage was a plot point. It's also possible that assembling matter atom-by-atom takes a non-trivial amount of energy compar

also a victim of op.. I'm up to 15, though I do plan on using all of them.

not op but I'd venture to guess after effects/flash for the 2d bits (it's what I'd use). It'll be impossible to tell without the creator though, there's loads of software for animating 2d graphics.

Currently in the single digits, this is my zombie project. I haven't actively marketed for a few years - moved on to other things. People tried it a few days and left, I guess there are better free options or they just didn't like

My family owns several rental properties as well. It's a part time job to manage all of them, though it gets easier once you have 3~4, at which point they share the same resource pool for repairs and such. some observations - don'

how long would that be sustainable for, given the periodic difficulty increase in the various cryptocurrencies?

I had a digital sign-making business with small income (basically you design a sign on the website and I carve it out of wood with a CNC machine) the most traffic I got were from giving signs away as prizes on crafting blogs. It seems obvio

the Chinese firewall is easy to get around, it's just there to make it inconvenient enough so most don't bother. I use vpn when I'm in China and offer to set it up for my relatives, but the response has been "it's t

another idea: a credit card sized e-paper device that can only do sms. It could be efficient enough to be powered by a peltier chip, so no need to charge it ever. Seems perfect for the text generation

Nice build quality I went through a similar process of looking for a sit-stand desk, scoffing at the price and deciding to build my own. Though my end result is a bit different: http://i.imgur.com/M2ZlkaM.jpg

This is gross. Salmon is wasted if not eaten raw. Or you know, it's possible that different people have different tastes.

The real selling point is the aesthetics. That's why I bought it anyways. The self-learning scheduler is nice, but I could easily program a manual one in a few minutes.

I think this is more true for the startup funding industry, which is sort of its own little world. The core of business development doesn't necessarily depend on that kind of thing.

I didn't see any reference to G-code in the article. I think the worry is that they will introduce a closed, proprietary standard in an attempt to build their platform. I'm a bit conflicted. On the one hand, G-code is very compati

I guess my point is that there would be severe ramifications if the US deployed its military to retrieve Snowden within Chinese territory. Whether they'd do it or not is not the issue - Snowden is a whistle blower who's had a peak

I'm not convinced iOS 5-6 was skeuomorphic to begin with. Aside from a few effects - camera shutter and page flips comes to mind - the core workflow is pretty abstract. in many of the comparison screenshots of ios 6vs7 it looks like th
