I agree with everything you said, except about Lester. Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't he completely give up providing for his daughter, and then try to have sex with her ( ? 16 : 17) year old friend? Part of being mature is living up t

my thoughts exactly. i'm looking through... boat collision, boat collision, construction failure, no inspection, fire, bombs, etc. etc. i see tacoma narrows in 1940: "Since that time all new bridges have been modeled in wind tunnels." edit:

Yes, and engineers learn from those mistakes, rather than repeating them every 10 years.

Misleading headline. He's been ordered to stop work until the court makes a decision - not necessarily permanently. Of course, now he has the Nazgûl to deal with.

that's a relatively cheap snipe. any curriculum will contain material that just isn't interesting or useful to every student.

compound lifts (look up Starting Strength), and eat everything in sight all day. 3000+ kcal. I'm up 18 lbs in 4 months.

Yeah, not very smart to say "Weight lifting is a cop-out" and then say "Don't shirk on your core" a few lines down...

Purchased an Eee 1000H and got it up and running today. Blew away the default XP install for Heron. Had to fidget with some packages and the kernel a little to get it all going smoothly. Not too bad. What sold me on it was the ergonomics (k

What I was aiming at was the notion that creating maximally stable software that does exactly what it's designed to do is something to aspire to. Just my opinion, obviously. You could be right that the above is not in most companies' intere

If you go by what the on-board shuttle group [1] is doing for NASA, more process is the key to a better functioning organization. But then, that's how software should be written when there's lives on the line, which doesn't exactly describe

i program with a partner constantly. for basic/obvious/trivial tasks it's a waste of time and we split up to get through it quicker. but for breaking new ground and finding solutions on the fly it's been very helpful.
