Both my parents and I are immigrants, and where they came from they were the minority. As such, they personally encountered and had to deal with both racism and xenophobia. It's more subtle in their professional fields, but not nonexistent.

Do us a favor and delete any leading spaces in your comment. The two or more space you have is causing... the word wrap to mess up. Please have a heart!

To jdoliner: Please add some information to your profile so I can place your comment in some kind of reference. I love that you write clearly and to my untrained, therefore naive, eyes your arguments seem valid. But without an understanding

It says they have a hidden bar, but what's the point if you're just going to store the alcohol on the floor anyway?

Those expenses are sexy low. Mind disclosing what you're including in them?

Do you know what type of tax you have to pay on those funds? Is it capital gains tax?

Unless they disallowed vendors from charging for games made by the "open" dev kit, thereby preserving the licensing fee. Or just eliminate the fee in its entirety and take a slice of the revenue (or marginally larger slice). I don't see how

Generally, I like more informative profiles, but specifically with resumes, I don't think it's a good idea. I get the feeling that it'll help bump up the noise as individuals come here to post resumes and then try to enter conversations for

I hear good things about the book 'Head First HTML' from beginners, and if you're at any high level with computing you should breeze through it. I whole-heartedly recommend this book as an introduction to HTML. It covers HTML, XHTML, and
