And yet you still had time to leave a comment? If you want to criticize what someone writes, read it first. As it stands, you're just an ass.

There is a persistent ignorance about homeschoolers lacking socialization, an assertion I find laughable. Homeschooling done properly, frees up more time and increases true socialization. I was involved in sports, chess, and a wide range o

No, do not live for others. Never live for others, because nobody will laud you for it -- in fact, people will find it laughable and openly sneer at you for it. He wrote, "In the aftermath of emotional implosion; friends, family, colleague

It looks like a syntax error to me. You can add numbers in array index brackets so a plus sign already has meaning there. Considering that a[10+] is just one character off from a[10++], it seems to me that this is just a bug waiting to happ

That seems like a lot of speculation to me. Other reviewers have given the Tesla S a positive review and have not been destroyed by the oil industry so why should this guy be any different? There seems to be a lot of he said/she said going

"He's lying" explains everything in the same way that "God did it" explains everything. Now you have to explain what John Broder has to gain from falsifying a review and why it was worth risking his livelihood. Tesla makes it sound like he

Gates founded Microsoft to sell a Basic interpreter. His company spent a lot of time keeping Basic as a core part of its line up long after it was considered passé. I suspect that Gates has some nostalgia for it.

It could just say that he lacks imagination or doesn't feel that his attire is something on which one should spend a lot of mental capital. A suit is practical, easy, and non-threatening and picking up a bunch of cheap ones is a simple way

The reason, I think, that people are being so circumspect about Jody's death, is because it is so close on the heels of Aaron Swartz's own demise. Suicide tends to happen in waves where the first one tends to encourage copycats. Aaron rece

How about the thousands of guys who tried to imitate Penny Arcade's success with their own comic strips? Most webcomics aren't that profitable and gamer oriented comics are probably the most saturated market. It's like acting, some hit it b

OSM doesn't have a satellite view. The first thing I noticed by looking at Google's satellite images was just how mountainous North Korea actually is. The country appears to be mostly mountains to me.

As someone who's administered Solaris machines rather extensively, I find the SMF (the init system on Solaris which, in part, inspired systemd) to be much easier to manage than sysvinit. Specifically, it makes it easier to add new services

FYI, It's ok to output at 3v3 volts to a 5v device if the device will still work, but don't read input from a 5v device or you might damage your Pi; the pins are wired directly to the Broadcom chip with no resistance.

Webcomics cost next to nothing to run, you just need the time and equipment to draw cartoons on a regular schedule. You then put them on a website with some cheap hosting. If the cartoon becomes popular, and that's a big if, you can sell

I'd rather this thread not devolve into a discussion about Android minutia, or worse, a debate about Gruber's character. Whether he was right or wrong is irrelevant to the GP's point that writing to Gruber was a waste of his time.

If you go back a 100 years, people shat in outhouses and died of TB. Only the rich retired. Why do we decree by fiat that everyone has a moral obligation which we will enforce via the economic system to spend at least half their waking hou
