Do I have any of these "realms" wrong? It seems the best startup idea would be one that adds a new "realm" rather than rinses and repeats for another direct object. Uber for = simplify a process that involves transportin

I can remember coding with Irrlicht around 2004, 2005. Ogre seemed to have a much larger learning curve, so I never dived into it. Glad to see it's still around, though.

The account deal is becoming pervasive and annoying. This is a common interaction I have at a local pet store: "That'll be $15. What's your phone number?" "No." ... strange look for a moment, finally followed b

Combine this with the fact that the largest asset the US government holds $1.5T in student loans, and we've got a recipe for disaster. "Let's borrow more from China, we can repay it with the proceeds from Billy's liberal

Don't make the mistake of thinking that the Chinese don't know that. It's long been my opinion that you simply cannot destroy the west without mutually assured destruction, so nukes are out. You can't invade and subseque

The primary problem is that it's not illegal for politicians to lie to the electorate. Without solving that problem, we will always have sub-par leadership and questions about what is or is not a valid advertisement. In official capaci

I'm from the American south, we refer to any rural area where people are more self-reliant and the land is not developed as "God's country." It doesn't have much to do with how religious the area is or how many chur

This is quite typical. Even with MIPS PI measures and the push for interoperability. Getting patient data in bulk out of a hosted EHR can be a frustrating exercise. What they are doing is holding the providers' data hostage, in the nam

CAN-SPAM has worked well in that I generally don't get random spam anymore. But, the cold marketing emails. Woooooow, the cold marketing emails. Several of them, Every. Day. It's epidemic in my inbox.

Threatening to declare war is a diplomatic tactic. Just because Donald Trump did it doesn't change tactics used by world leaders. I don't recall any nukes dropping, or armies being deployed--but if you listened to the media around
