I like your comment, but I gotta scratch my grammar Nazi itch. It's lose, not loose, unless you can tighten anything by having Facebook or your phone. But to add on to what you've said. Meditation is great can help you lose mundan

To add upon your comment, the moon could also act as an interplanetary shipyard. With the low gravity and stablity, as well as proximity to earth for raw materials and man power. Assuming it isn't completely automated. Iirc, Isaac Arth

Also, an interesting thing about metacritic (at least from what I can remember) is that they are silent about how they weight differing review sites/critics in how they calculate their overall rating. Whereas (as far as I know) RT has

I'd add that, if you don't know the individual critic's taste, they might as well be another take on public opinion. There can be something to be gained, but for the everyday person, you are best off with "what did the g

From what I understand, it is more that by collecting events that occur in a frame and then applying them on the next. It is easier to debug since you can print out the events on every frame. Which if there is a bug, makes it easier since y

(not an expert in this field obviously) I believe that it might have to do with HIPAA compliance and the red tape overhead that scares away potential disruption. But I imagine if someone were willing and able to disrupt it, they'd make

I've always thought that a large percentage of OO design patterns originated from Java's strict OO trappings. Since Java doesn't allow for first-class functions, it necessitated design patterns in spite of a more straight for

At least in Washington/Seattle, there is a gas tax which helps pay for road maintenance. But of course increases the price of gas. I'm lucky in that I can walk to work (~40 minutes), and the bus ride is roughly 5 minutes faster if
