Well, yes. This is like saying you're screwed if you pull a perfect bank heist and then spraypaint on the wall "My name is jrdn and I robbed this bank. My social security number is 123-45-6789 and I live at 123 Elm St." Tor s

I have always wanted to do this, but my group is in open plan space and I think the noise would be a bit much. Maybe one day I can find some more people who'd like this and we can snag an office.

It's $49.99 a year, though. As a fairly heavy flickr user I could easily see spending $4.16/month to remove ads.

I used to hand write notes, or use emacs org-mode. I now believe that my notes are in many cases substituting for poor procedures or documentation. As such I've given up entirely keeping my own notes and instead I fix the procedures or docu

I had so many professors that just read me the powerpoints. I would literally miss nothing from the lecture if I just downloaded the slides after every class, but no, attendance was mandatory. Makes me feel all warm and fuzzy to know that I

That sounds about right to me, or just barely on the low side of right. Asking for a raise is something you can consider, but I'm not really going to say if it's a good or bad thing to do. If your job has changed and you've taken on more re
