There are always the Realforce 103U models. If you don't mind me asking, what are the other 33 keys mapped to on your keyboard? In fact, what keyboard has 136 keys?

Mechanical keyboards may have lots of travel, but you don't have to use it all. While a mechanical keyboard may have 4-6mm of travel and scissor switch keyboards (like Apple's) only have 2mm, on a mechanical keyboard you don't have to bott

I'm confused by what you're saying here - do you have a keyboard with '#' as a primary key? Every keyboard I've ever used requires shift-3 to generate a '#'. Your reference to 3rd level keys seems to refer to an international keyboard. Is

I can't agree with you more. One thing I have not seen mentioned is that cyclists are effectively INVISIBLE to cars when on sidewalks due to their speed. I work on a college campus and have watched motorists tune out sidewalk cyclists on a

I'd suggest that your idea of the "normal" professional isn't quite accurate. I worked at a fortune 500 for a few years. Most people put in 35-40 hours a week. Many of them were impossible to get a hold of during vacation. I'd also sugg

I'd counter that NYC is not representative of the rest of the country. Most statistics I'm easily able to find say that the average hours worked per week in the US is closer to 35 than 60 or 65. It's also worth noting that most of the peop

I did mention she was likely an outlier - closer to how the system should work than how it currently does.

Has anyone found any sort of a technical explanation of how this works or a privacy policy? I'm interested, but without some assurance my e-mail will remain private, there's no way I'm doing this.

This is highly variable. My wife was a high school teacher for two years. She was up and at school by 7:30AM each day, and worked until at least 6:00PM each night just to keep up with grading. Couple that with lesson planning and hard to

It seems to me that if you replace "whom other" with "that" you end up with a similar meaning: people that people bully bully people I've found it fairly common to hear people drop the "that" when speaking - so in this case:

You've already got some experience which will help a lot. What I've found (and what worked for me about 10 years ago when I was almost in your exact position) was that the easiest way to get a gig programming is to find a good company that

It's wonderful that there's a free version of this available. I had to pay the ACM $10 for my copy - about $5/page.

They are very expensive compared to most other services. I was going to host with them, since I live in Lansing and am acquainted with the owner, but Linode is much cheaper (for VPS) and I found the support to be nearly as good. If you're

I can't speak for Drobo with a Mac - but mine works great with Linux. I was going to get a DroboShare, but then decided just to use an old server to network the storage. It's slow to spin up but fast until you start to fill the drives - o

I believe you can just make another dataset/drive - not the best solution, but you can use that extra space - just in another logical drive.

I believe I did say "and the bad parts". I agree - there are lots of bad parts to JS - I often wish it could be remade without the bad parts. However, a lot of these bad parts can be mitigated with sane conventions - that's what Crockford

I'd argue that jQuery embraces a lot of ideas that new JS programmers often overlook - functions as objects for example. jQuery also gives you primitives to perform functional/set based operations. For me, approaching JS as a functional la

I used to feel this way. The two people that changed my mind were John Resig and Douglas Crockford. Resig's jQuery project has been, for me, a guide to how JS should be written. Crockford's JS the Good Parts and JSLint have helped as wel

I have to say I felt that Memento was only good for a single watching. This may be an oversimplification, but if you reorganized the movie with all the scenes in reverse it would just be a mediocre movie about a guy who can't remember anyt

The first major purchase I made on eBay was a HP LaserJet 5P purchased in 2000 for $200. I still use that printer today, I think I've replaced the toner cartridge 3 times in the last 10 years. At $75/cartridge, it's been a bargain. On to

I recently (a week ago) converted my desk at my day job to a standing desk. It's easily the most ergonomic position I've ever worked in. I have noticed that just to keep my legs from getting stiff and my feet from getting sore I move a lo

You have to be careful about things like this. While Foosball and learning Clojure are both not work related, one looks a lot more like work. It's a lot easier to forget where you are and program something cool in Clojure for 2 hours than

I worked for EDS for 9 years... they were barely able to keep their own internal CRM running. It was a nightmare. I sometimes wondered how the sales staff were able to hide the internal dysfunction so well. Practice I guess.

Michigan is a strange place to be living right now. There's still work for skilled technology folks if you look hard enough. What we don't have is work for the thousands of jobless factory/industrial workers. Growing up in Michigan, ther

Ah - I see, essentially: "Don't use a signed server certificates, etc... when you don't have to, instead use a RSA public key." It was the OpenSSL thing that confused me. I forget that TLS is way more than RSA over TCP sometimes. Thanks f

Can anyone explain: "Client-server application security: Distribute the server's public RSA key with the client code, and do not use SSL." It seems like the point of this is to make sure that when communication moves from the client, only t

Educational institutions aren't exactly the same as businesses. For instance, how many teenagers actually WANT to attend high school? Looking back I can honestly say I learned some important things in high school (but then again, I took e

Global data can be bad, but a function instance variable isn't global - it's simply public. Using closures to simulate private variables has always seemed like overkill to me, but I tend to prefer Python's approach to private variables. A
