The guy did say that he's trying to cook his way through Keller's Ad Hoc at Home. So that will definitely define his MVK. Personally, I'm trying to cook my way through Weber's Big Book of Grilling. So I don't even need the kitchen, nyahh.

A campfire and a sharp stick.

I feel like there is lots missing from this list that a really functional kitchen needs. Supplies I'd add to a MVK: Dry measuring cups/spoons, liquid measures, rubber jar opener, bottle opener, plastic wrap, aluminum foil, digital timer, ov

The average programmer can't solve fizzbuzz. Therefore anything more complicated than fizzbuzz passes the nonobviousness test and is patentable.

Run a marathon. It won't improve your $$, job, or status, but it will probably be the hardest thing you've done up to this point in your life, and once it's done you won't feel like a loser anymore.

They already allow this. I use one Apple ID for iCloud and a different Apple ID for purchases in iTunes/AppStore.

So I suppose my original comment should have just outright asked: What can a hacker actually do with (hypothetical) remote access to the electrical infrastructure? Open switches under load to effect an arc blast? Blow up a few substation

And I'm saying that it's impossible to take the whole country off the grid with a cyber attack.

As someone who has switched from WebOS to Android to iOS, I definitely agree that I would be happier if some the best innovations on each system made it to other devices. But I think the current patent situation makes this basically imposs

Slate article has a little more info: http://www.slate.com/blogs/browbeat/2012/11/29/moma_s_new_vi... "As with their film collection, MoMA aims to obtain the games in their original format—as well as acquiring the source code."

I remember a few years ago they asked me a question about my application. It was pretty easy to spot. If I remember, the topcolor changed and there was a new menu option that took me to the question (it basically looked like any other sto

Yes, I guess you're right. I didn't even know about the old Euro zone currencies. I guess SIX Interbank Clearing could pick another unused 'X' code.

by bhousel 14y ago
It should really start with an 'X', like the other commodities. (e.g. gold is 'XAU', silver is 'XAG'). 'XBC' makes sense to me.

I do work less. I don't think it's unusual for consultants. But my neighbors, family, and other people in my life definitely think it's weird.

If the app isn't super complex yet, just sever the relationship with the outsourcing shop and rewrite it. The "Do not rewrite, you'll kill yourself" advice only applies when the code has history. Legacy code has actual users that expect it

What a crazy wheelbase. I can't even imagine what it would be like to drive a car where the front wheels are behind the driver.

I just tried adding the word "patent" to a search, and the top results returned were kind of relevant, but you're right, not direct patent links. Mostly news, but also a decent hit on a site called FreshPatents.com, which may be the servic
