It runs a little deeper than faster internet access. Missouri and Kansas seem to share the same 2 problems - bad public schools (especially in MO) and mediocre computer science programs. I'm a remote employee (but used to live here) fo

While i'm generally in the same boat with you, i do have a couple of 30+ friends who use Snapchat. That's a couple more than Twitter. I personally don't know a single person who uses Twitter, regardless of whether they'r

I'd say yes, but to some extent. My native tongue is Russian, but i'm also fluent in English. I often find myself cursing like a sailor in English (mostly in a group of close friends) while I find cursing in Russian absolutely dis

I felt the same way. I don't know if it's the fluidity of its movements while it was moving or something else. I kept thinking of Silent Hill for some reason.

I was a sack of bones when I came back. I shocked nearly everyone and used to get this same question a lot. I don't think it's typical. I did starve myself for a little bit because I had huge trouble adjusting to food, which i typ

Has anybody ever seen Y! Confidential link pop-up in the bottom right corner of some Yahoo! articles which seemed to redirect to an internal corporate site? It came and went away at least a dozen times and in some instances it stayed for da

Do you guys remember when a few years ago Yahoo decided to make old, stale accounts up for grabs again? I lost my old Yahoo account which was forwarding mail to my main Google account. I haven't logged into it in ages. I could never re

So I got one 4 months ago and quickly found out that I understand next to nothing about it. I really thought it was going to be a plug-n-play solution but it was far from it. It took me nearly an hour to get my google account setup to use i

We're pushing fairly large changes once a week from multiple team members. What has really helped is having comprehensive unit, integration and end-to-end tests. We run first 2 on every check-in into main branch. Then run all 3 after m

Ha! Similarly, I always thought that if you know Russian Ukrainian sounds a little silly. Every time I visit my folks (Ukrainian & Armenian fam) they always have Ukrainian TV on. I really started paying attention and appreciating the la

I'm more than sure I misunderstand something. Is the purpose of mining to introduce cost to recalculating a chain? So basically if someone changes a block in the chain mining makes it impractical to extend the change upstream? If so ho

I believe the same article was already posted here a few months back. Regardless, it would be interesting to know how much functionality this young man will gain after his rehabilitation. Stuff like this is hard to believe to be 100% effect

Curious to know why people are still running antiviruses. I haven't had one running since, i believe, Windows 7 release and switching over to Chrome/Firefox from IE but even IE is very resistant to threats these days.

I read things like this and wonder how long we have until one day shit hits the fan and causes a chain of events that will eventually put regulations in place on the entire industry.

I wouldn't put BRZ in this category, but Lotus Elise and the 4C are definitely perfect examples of super-cars with manageable horsepower. I stand corrected, sir! I do wonder, however, if people are still choosing 350z, BRZs and STIs ov
