They really need to cut prices. I created a card-lookup site for a collectible card game ( http://www.lotrlcg.com/ ). Originally it was written in PHP and was on regular shared hosting through InMotion Hosting for about $5&#x

You are correct about that, but to most people, the stereotypes about silicon valley apply to everyone in working tech, even people like me working on legacy enterprise software in MN. For the non-tech people I know, their impression of the

>half of the mice in each group were exposed to a searingly bright light for four hours. That hits a little to close to home for me. Sure, a monitor isn't searing, but it is still bright.

That was actually my first thought as well, but came to an opposite conclusion: it's even harder now for students because there are no jobs above MW. Today there are MW jobs, and there are middle-class 40/year jobs, but there not

I've been using standing desk for over a year at work, and the first month went similar to the way the OP described. Unlike the OP though, it was never my intention to stand all day. I stand when I feel like, and sit (on a tall chair)

Looking out my window in MN, the ground is still covered with snow and it is 16 degrees (F). SF meanwhile will be in the 60s all week which seems pretty good to me.

Why would the public setting, or even context matter? If you are only "displaying" and not "brandishing," you'll be fine.

So you would be willing to "displaying the device" on a street in a poor DC neighborhood since you are certain that you would be within the law?

So I guess we should get rid of the term "equality" as well, right? In all seriousness though, entirely scrapping a noble idea because it isn't yet 100% realized is beyond ridiculous and is an example of why many people can&#

So what would happen in a Marxist society when I hire someone to do work with that hammer, computer, or car? Is someone going to arrest me? The proponents of it claim it would be a stateless society, but that clearly isn't true if they
