"$3,000 tax bill using five wheelbarrows containing 300,000 coins." Right in the caption. A smart business man. He has gotten a lot of free publicity out of it.

I've been on the other side of this as a consultant. I once was consulting for a place where I asked if I could run the existing tests to confirm I hadn't broken anything when adding in some new functionality. The owner of the p

There is one rather big key difference in dating versus interviews. You only get once chance to find out _everything_ about a company during an interview. Whereas dating has many "meetings". This is the real problem with interv

I _really_ don't understand your point of view, on so many levels. Let's start at the beginning then. This is an experimental treatment. There was almost zero knowledge of the impact, at the time it was done, since it was experi

I can't encourage this enough. It was one of the most rewarding things I did in college. We launched a cubesat and used it to capture images of the curvature of the Earth and measure the Earth's magnetic field. The work to build

I'm 100% for this. I used to use Firefox for everything. But then Chrome was released which had a much better developer experience (and still does, in my eyes). I'd rather go back to Firefox but each time I do, I find a feature

I was in the south Everglades last week. We went over a pass that was _1_ ft tall. Coming from Colorado, the sign advertising the "pass" was just bizarre.

More than likely. Most "science" grade CCD sensors, at least in the Astronomy world, are in fact shaved down to make them even more sensitive.

Every time I hear it being used, it is in a derogatory fashion, ie "That's so gay" to something that they find distasteful or dislike. I'm not jumping to conclusions, since I saw it in my generation and in my sibling&#x

You're making a huge leap of faith in using words that you know others find offensive, even if you yourself don't find them offensive nor mean to use them in an offensive manner. The leap of faith you're making is that _ever

So a better form of transportation won't come around in over 700 years? I think you're being a little pedantic.

Easy. There is zero incentive to build a better car when the one you can buy now is so cheap. This is why in the States, SUV sales follow gas prices [0]. [0] - http://www.npr.org/2015/01/05/375201451/ca

Some of the most egregious roundabouts I've ran (heh) into have been in Aspen. They're right after you get off 70 (ie going 65/70 mph) and are often overgrown with bushes and trees. I'm all for roundabouts, I think whe
