I think that underscores the point about flexibility in naming operations ;)

The article does mention that, but I don't think simply defining the base of the transplant as the section with the most mass accurately describes the situation. What part of the body defines a person's identity? Is it the head,

I applaud you for putting it out there! Fear of negative feedback often keeps me from releasing code in situations like this.

That was my thought as well, that the combination of note frequency and box size creates the standing waves photographed. It's still beautiful to look at though....

Yes, but the marginal gains add up to equal the big breakthroughs! Eventually we increase the ease of texting to the point where we're reading minds and the user never has to touch their phone. I may be serious, I can't tell.

I don't see why this was downvoted. The points may be debatable, but isn't that the point of a discussion?

The problem with that approach is that not all transgender people elect to have operations, so making that the minimum bar is unreasonable. A much more reasonable (non-fear mongering) approach is to use the gender the person identifies wit

I want to like this machine, but it comes stock with 8GB of RAM and only a 256GB drive for the high end model with no options to upgrade (at least on Dell's site).

In the US you have no such guarantee, it's completely at the pleasure of your employer. I could walk into work this morning, get laid off, and escorted out of the building without notice. That's it, done, no more salary. To make

The towns aren't necessarily demanding copper upgrades. They were promised fiber and now Verizon is trying to placate them with cellular.

Which town are you in? As it happens I own houses in both rural Northeast PA and South Jersey. My Jersey house must be one of the lucky ones, because I've had FIOS there since about 2009. I can see why the towns are upset, they were

It's not quite that simple. In some cases it's telco infrastructure that's owned by the customer. In that case I'd say the demarc is like to be somewhere inside the modem, which is sort of nonsensical.

I can second Dave. He's a good guy, spends time getting to know you, your likes, and requirements. He also ran the Philly JUG for the last 10 (15?) years and kept it a place free of recruitment or sales pitches.

I can vouch for this. I recall hosting a homebuilt webmail system with them in 2002. I'm very pleased to see they're still around!

Boring is subjective.If that's not your cup of tea it's fine but it doesn't invalidate his point about career paths.

I think calling it a 'trial' is actually a disservice. Most of these are good for the entire time you're a student or two years. Most trials are limited to 30, 60, or maybe 90 days if you're lucky.

While Mojang may have taken a relatively hands off approach to modded servers of questionable legality (Spigot, Bukkit, MinecraftForge), I have a feeling Microsoft may not be so benign. I'm not one to usually throw FUD, but in this cas

Thank you for making me realize I'm not the only crotchety old bastard who bitches and moans about this! My kids are old enough to play Minecraft but too young to understand how to install mods. Speaking of that, I've looked into

This isn't so much to revert your database, but to manage your schema migrations in a similar fashion to rake db:migrate. Liquibase works well with Spring, so you can have the Spring context run migrations as required without involving

Cool, but am I right that it requires that you trust the jar dependency you have initially on your local filesystem?

Perhaps I have selective memory, but I've never seen Linode lower prices, they just keep upping the specs on the lowest tier. It reminds me of something I learned while working for Comcast years ago - never lower prices, just keep addi

I'm not going to go into my specific needs or project setup, but even with 4 open projects, IntelliJ requires 4 open windows! That's asinine when both NetBeans and Eclipse allow me to decide how many projects I want open within a

Is there any discussion about IntelliJ supporting multiple open projects at once? Requiring a separate window for each project breaks down when I've got 21 projects open, as I have now in NetBeans.

I was confused by this comment, because the last time I heard Android was on a 1.5 equivalent. But sure enough as of ADT 22.6.0 (March 2014) some Java 1.7 features were added: http://developer.android.com/tools/sdk&#

I use NetBeans on a daily basis and never find it to be slow. Eclipse on the other hand....it's a giant turtle monster masquerading as an IDE wrapper around OSGI.

So MessagePack wants me to ditch one of the most portable widely used data transfer formats in the world to save 33% on message size? No thanks. I'm willing to bet that using Content-Encoding: gzip on the JSON would negate most of the
