Have you been to Mississauga? It's urban sprawl gone mad. It's one of the most bland, characterless strip mall excuses for a city in North America. The books may be balanced, but it's a joyless wasteland of big box stores and cookie cutter

It's really important to know at the start of the semester what projects will be wanted and needed. Students may have their own ideas for what they want to do, but it's so much easier to get the ear of a developer when you are working on so

I worked with David on the Mozilla Education project. Here's my two cents. It's easy to put out the call for volunteers. It's hard to cope with the deluge of people who want to help. Code bases are complex and/or large in any meaningful pro

How effective is hand sanitizer compared to hand washing? Is hand sanitizer more likely to be used than hand washing? Does the introduction of hand sanitizer reduce infection more than hand washing? It's always more useful to compare to a b

I don't think cubism can represented in 3D models this way. Cubism is a way to represent an object from many perspectives on a 2D plane. That's why the faces of cubist subjects have both a profile and frontal view. This artist really needs
