Meh, I typically use Chrome through a virtual machine with Spice which has broken OpenGL support, so I wasn't getting hardware acceleration anyway. I still get screen tearing in Firefox, for Christ's sake.

The only connection recidivism has with prison time is that the longer you are in prison, the more likely you are to be institutionalized and thus comfortable with prison. You are completely misinterpreting those statistics.

What happened was the interface was insanely improved from the unnavigable mess of the early 2000's, sculpting was added, and a host of other features brought Blender to parity with its non-free brethren.

On the other hand, I never had the option for 100% renewable energy before until I moved to Texas, thanks to their highly competitive energy market which was created via legislation. Some parts of Texas are backwards, but some parts of Texa

> I think the job of service providers should be to semantically annotate their data, so that a general purpose client can dynamically render it. You mean like HTML? We tried that already and people disliked the lack of branding ability.

I hope it is because otherwise I'm a moron. I managed to chlorine-gas myself right before a date once because I threw a little bleach on the bathroom floor before I took a shower and it turns out there was a mostly dried puddle of piss

Heads up everyone, the DOOM Blackbook is 50% off on Amazon right now, which puts it down to a very reasonable $25. I just purchased it along with the WOLFENSTEIN 3D Blackbook which is also 50% off.

Great article. I would appreciate a breakdown of the provided spreadsheet, for example I'm unsure of what "Weight" is supposed to be. Who wants to create an app with me? Simplify the stats and streamline the data entry, then

Right, similarly to my dimmers that constant gating of power draw as the brushes make and break contact just wreck your AC circuit. Bad wiring and a sub-par setup will make that bleed right through your speakers.

Installing a UPS behind the conditioner sounds like a good idea. I have been meaning to get one of those... Thanks for the rec on the APC, I bookmarked it for comparison later. What UPS are you using?

At least in America, most teachers are expected to take home work and spend a large portion of time outside of the strict 6-8 school day doing lesson planning, grading, etc. Their wages are quickly approaching what you would expect at a fry

This is one reason Final Fantasy Tactics was such a powerful game. You could basically lose any character other than the protagonist and it really hammered in the weight of your decisions on the battlefield.

No, but if you're hosting someone else's car in your garage as a service and a thief takes it for a homicidal joyride, you are liable to that person for your shitty security.

I cook because it's cheaper than eating out. But the trade-off is the time I spend researching and preparing healthy and diverse meals. I'm only feeding myself and fresh food goes bad quickly, so I also don't have the benefit

It depends on how you want to structure your app. If you want all stylesheets living under src/stylesheets or if you would rather have them each live inside a component folder. The latter allows for better portability of components but
