My CS education at South Dakota State University included a class on digital systems design. I had to build a circuit to control a pop machine as part of it. Said education also included a class on macro- and microeconomics, incidentally.

I can't STAND smoke from cigarettes, cigars, etc. But the vapor from these e-cigarettes? Doesn't bother me at all. It doesn't smell bad, and I'm given to understand it's mostly harmless.

"The most hated social product in the entire Internet" is a pretty big claim. I personally have never had a single problem with G+, though I've had plenty of issues with Facebook. My YouTube and G+ accounts merged just fine,

Indeed. I'd love to have a look, but the link got nuked.

I like Dart. It's fun to write. I don't understand all the vitriol directed towards it.

Yes, that would handle it. I look forward to playing with the sandbox.

My problem with xfce and most other Linux desktops is that they look like a Windows desktop from the early 2000s. It's an aesthetic that I don't personally enjoy; I'm much more of a shiny/fancy user, which is why I like

The sandbox appears to be down, but I'm a little concerned about the security. Can database users be created that only have read access?

You're aware that CTO is a role and not an experience level, right?

I'm also not seeing it. Wonder if @billmalarky is compromised?

I was thinking of going with Debian, actually. I don't know, it's been forever since I shopped around for a good Linux distro.

Well dang. Now I have to find another go-to Linux distro.

I like the design. I'm particularly fond of large, thin typefaces.

Haha, yes, that may well be true.

With the third point, I'm referring to the fact that I can use the Chrome web store to install apps for both my browser and my phone. If I switch to Firefox, I lose half of that equation. I'm not even talking about mobile Chrome h

I do like the release schedule for Firefox. However, I haven't used it in years, except for testing. Philosophically, I agree more with Mozilla than Google, but I just can't seem to get past three things: 1) Chrome gets out of my

Meh. The government already knows I use Facebook. Facebook can extrapolate anything about me using the information it already has, including, I imagine, my driver's license number and social security number. I really don't care at

So all seven billion people need to be working on keeping all seven billion at the same general health level, rather than anything they might personally be interested in or skilled at?

This is true. And... if you're on the Internet, I'm sorry, but you can have no reasonable expectation of privacy. That includes owning a smartphone.

I agree completely. I'm not opposed to banner ads as long as they are relevant to my present task. Nor do I take issue with Google changing its stance in this way. Corporations change with the times.

This is why I prefer Minneapolis to SF. All the character, none of the problems. Though we do only have two seasons - winter and construction.

Dart runs on top of JS? I thought it was a replacement for JS.
