LOLLLL. I so remember these days. I had several of my own. I think mine was "the best final fantasy 7 website out there!" Some kid emailed me to call my bluff lol. I still wish i could find mine, but i remember practically 0 about

Really, this is an age-old problem. Journalists have had to deal with this for years. The general consensus was that if it's true, tough crap. The difference between journalism and google is that anybody can google someone. Journalists

You know, you could have just gone the extra step and simplified to 2/3. Then you'd have had a lock on that age-old aphorism

was totally expecting an awesome video. maybe someone can edit the title to reflect the problems with it? in any case, it's still a cool video

holy crap this is awesome. i remember when i was a reporter and i had writers block, i'd go walking around the block a bit. I'd always come back with an idea of where I wanted to take the story next. It's nice to see my &#x27

Well, you really have a pretty good grasp on the state of journalism affairs. In the five years I spent reporting, I saw newsrooms decline substantially at all the papers I worked at (and was the victim of one layoff). You're absolutel

I dont understand why you're being downvoted for quoting from the chick's twitter where she accuses all men of one of the most heinous crimes one can commit. She doesnt sound like a champion of gender equality to me, based on this

as a former journalist, I have to disagree that editing is unproductive time. Saying exactly what you mean to say is extremely valuable, well-invested time. "I would have written you a shorter letter, but I didn't have the time.&q

I wonder what the next stage of this will be. Will programmeers of the future marvel that we even had to use keyboards at some point?

I just still dont know. my girlfriend likes to have a few drinks when we go out. I'll drink with her so she doesnt feel awkward being the only one drinking. but a few things just to rebut your points. #3 -- i hate beer, so the only rea

It's all where you place your value at. Is that so hard to get? I like pens (yeah they're expensive pens). And folks like me obviously find value in things other than alcohol. Nobody's trying to say that drinking is worthless

This feels like a very "European" comment. Really the only thing you could nitpick is in points 7 and 9, because that's where he makes generalizations about alcohol's effects on others. Near as I can tell, the rest of th

I'm really with the author here. I don't drink much, and people usually ask me why when I'm out. I just don't find it all that enjoyable most of the time, to be honest. also, there's this: >There is a longer list

I died with hope!! Also, I noticed that something compounded to solve if you had more of them, notably stress. When you only had 1, it was instantaneous to solve. If you had more than one, the percent counter took time

yep. no inverted pyramid here. it's straight up buried lead. i kept skimming just to get to the moral of the story. it was good writing to be sure, but i feel like it could have given a little more tidbits to the reader

I know one of the main developers on Flask. He's an exceptional fellow and extremely talented. I havent used the framework before but I hear it's highly recommendable in general.
