This sounds like people saying that all academic research should be product-oriented. If you had a project with defined goals and clear benefit to the company you'd get it on the schedule and call it work. 20% time is for the other stu

From my own experience - he was probably getting up later, going to work later, and getting home a while after her, which is where the real 'time together' was gained (him leaving work earlier). Also a lot of people like to be win

It doesn't have to linger if it's blowing towards me, either by wind or your actions - it's still getting in my hair and clothes and food and making them all stink. I totally can't understand anyone simultaneously saying

They got a shitload of press on the day they launched and they were on the App Store featured games/editors choice (not sure which) list on that day or close to (and the update was again on an App Store banner on launch day). They had

Open source just means you can read the source. That's why the acronym FLOSS had to be invented.

So what's the cause of this? It looks like a finally block will break out of a loop unless explicitly instructed not to?

Possibly, but it sounds like the money is coming from a ton of sources and it may not have been available for infrastructure - for instance, some of the money is a building improvement loan from the store owner.

by jacalata 11y ago
Something like 8% of men (~5% of population overall) are colorblind, do you object to calling that a disorder? If not, what's the cutoff: anything over 10%? Myopia is up to 30%, does that make it not a disorder?

Do you have a cite for that? I know plenty of people of various heights who can sit on the soles of their feet, it just uses muscles that most westerners don't exercise. I'm also pretty skeptical that it would affect your height i
