Regarding 2, I'd get it to constantly upload to my home server. Seems easy to write an app for and set up on my server with php or maybe a custom service.

>(And, I'd wager that they're better for my career in the long term, but that's not really relevant to this discussion.) How so?

VB.NET also doesn't allow #region's in method bodies, and can't use unsafe code. I've found C# to feel more concise, clean, and have less annoying hard to predict syntax. If .. End If, While .. End While, but For .. Next? I'd expect End For

I use Visual Studio on a 1360x768 display all the time, and it's not so bad. It does encourage writing the code better because you can't read large chunks at once.

I didn't have any issues at all enabling my foxit reader plugin for firefox. I actually had to specifically enable pdfjs in about:config to get it to run.

Exactly, it can be a rough transition period from the first realization to getting to appreciating it in the way you said. I forgot to elaborate on that part.

If you can't define what a consciousness is then you can't claim it's impossible to explain physically. How can there be strong arguments supporting a hypotheses if fundamental parts of the hypothesis aren't defined?

The conclusion that a consciousness is nothing but a series of mechanical interconnections, a machine that can be built or destroyed, fundamentally a kind of computer, and not something metaphysical, magical, or unexplainable, can be unsett

"...bad writing— no introduction, no conclusion, just hit the points of the rubric and provide the necessary factual support." In other words, no worthless fluff? School writing where it's /encouraged/ to just get to the point and present y

Seems like mainline Firefox doesn't support this yet, but Chrome does. It was interesting using Manycam to use the area around my mouse pointer as the video source and let it do the effect to itself recursively.

This is for web browsers on a desktop, not iOS. Draw My Thing is just the name of something similar, from OMGPop.

I've found HTML5/JS games an interesting experience. I'm currently writing an online Pictionary-type game, like Draw My Thing, with HTML5, JS, and PHP. It's been pretty smooth.

Pagination as in when a forum displays its topics in numbered pages? I've never had a problem with that.

Forums haven't changed in 10 years because they got it right back then. I don't think you really need more than a forum and an IRC for a good place for a community to gather. I honestly have yet to find a configuration for online communitie

I thought when you were making a desktop application for linux distros it wasn't supposed to only work on one DM. Why would you have to specifically think about gnome when you're making one?

Well, it's the person's job to be able to judge if someone's trying to falsely represent themselves in that area, so he should be familiar with what common job titles mean and which ones could be mistaken for others.

I learned Visual Basic .NET in high school. It honestly wasn't nearly as bad as its reputation. It's more like a watered down C#. It's pretty decent once you get past the syntax. There's still no reason to pick it over C# though. One thing
