Thank you. I think I would have gotten around to re-scaling the image down to a more reasonable size eventually. This saves me that effort.

I find it interesting that the only download options are a couple of jpegs that are less than 200Kb, or a TIFF that's 146 Mb.

This reminds me a little of "English Through Pictures" by Richards and Gibson, and "English Made Easy" by Crighton and Koster. Both use images to provide concrete examples for those words that can be illustrated visually

It's gotten to the point where I almost always use a card to pay for things, but I also have some cash with me most of the time (on the order of $50, including $5s and $1s) just for occasions like this.

A quick look at Newegg shows an Intel NUC that includes a CPU, memory, and an SSD at over $500. I don't think so.

I don't think this can be right. the Oxford English Dictionary has over 300,000 main words, and I got a score over 80%. That would suggest I have a vocabulary of 240,000 words, which seems a bit high, to say the least!

The page for getting a hobbyist license is really unclear. I finally found 2 links on the page which mentioned the hobbyist license. One link brings up a warning, and if I say go ahead anyway, I get a file not found message. The other link

Maybe my cynicism is getting the better of me, but how is this better than a page with all the days of the year printed on it, hanging from the wall, with a highlighter hanging from a string next to it? Or you could go all Seinfeld and get

When we retired my wife and I fled Atlanta at top speed. I don't know if the job is in Marietta, GA or Ft. Worth (the job listing seems to have disappeared) but I doubt if even an insanely high salary could get us to move to either of

I noticed an odd behavior with this link; it doesn't open the pdf in my browser (Firefox), and it doesn't ask if I want to save the pdf file. It just downloads the pdf file without any notification. I don't recall ever seeing

Years ago I read another list of the stages of a software project. I can't point you at the source because it was so long ago (decades) that I only have a vague recollection of it. The first stage was "boundless optimism and enthu
