Based on the Street View image, I would agree with you. Plenty of road left after the corner to brake even at those speeds. At a minimum, slamming on your brakes would have reduced the speed to one that would not be fatal. I almost got broa

I wonder if this applies to the Mac App Store, but I doubt it. I want to purchase Logic for an older Macbook, but the OS doesn't support Logic X. Apple won't sell a compatible version and there is no shrink-wrapped version.

Not quite the same, but I once had a no name company (getglue) tell me that I need to do a 3-hour programming assignment before I can interview with them. I have too much self-respect for myself to put myself through that process. I decline

Many times companies are annoyed when I say I do not want their t-shirt while at conferences/events. I do not want your t-shirt. I do not wear branded clothing and quality good-looking t-shirts are not expensive.

This article is not the first on the subject, and it probably won't be the last. I should just save them and forwarded them to the Google recruiters that contact me 1-2 times a year. Not going to work in the bay area. I like living in

Very gutsy move considering her congressional district is San Francisco. Are there enough local techies to vote her out of office, or is the anti-Republican bias too high?
