My Computer Languages (or whatever it was called) professor had mandatory attendance for his 8am MWF Friday class. I went to a big football school and we had a Thursday night game and that asshole didn't budge on his policy. He even d

These skills are important for kids who may not have grown up with a computer in the home. Both classes are necessary.

That's great but why can't we change the snooze interval? It's completely ridiculous to have it be non-configurable.

I'm not saying that fighting won't bog a hyperloop down, but the Silver Line fighting was largely due to who was going to pay for it. You had Federal funds, VA state, each VA county, Dulles, and Metro all with their fingers in th

You're only there for 30 minutes though. Honestly, I've spent a longer time with less space on the DC metro in rush hour.

And these officers are located where? Are they flying all over the country every day to investigate these 100's of incidents? Or, are they based out of the nearest city and following up on 100's of incidents local to that city&#

Why aren't the kernel maintainers allowed to voice their opinion on how their product is being utilized? Changing the license would have impacts far beyond just preventing Canonical from leeching their work. Sometimes the best thing t

This post has an overwhelming negative skew. I'm sure there's a less opinionated article which would allow us to discuss the matter at hand. Perhaps this one? (I'm at work, so I can't actually read many gaming-related links) http://www.g

It depends on how big your post office is. Some have machines that use OCR to sort letters into the order that the carrier runs his/her route. They grab the bundle and go.

Perhaps I should have been more verbose. The point I was trying to make is that neither proposer is more likely to renege. Since they have both given away their 25k investment, it doesn't matter to either of them what the resale value is a

Some of the fonts are rendering strangely for me in Windows Chrome 25. The anti-aliasing is chunky. Not sure if it's some TrueType thing, it's been a while since I've had to work with such problems.

One scenario where extended charge times is a huge weakness is in an evacuation setting when you have hundreds of thousands of people hitting the road at once to avoid a hurricane or some other disaster. I can imagine the queues at the cha
