So this all reminds me of when I was an IT manager and my sysadmin spent like 25% of her time just managing license compliance. My dev worked in open source and spent 100% of his time getting stuff done. MS seems to be getting a lot better

Agreed, but this is funny: I am now a product manager so I clicked on it thinking it's going to be interesting in that way. But I work at an education nonprofit and it kicked butt in that way :-).

You make a good point about clarity in writing, but don't forget you may not have been the intended audience. People don't write these posts always expecting them to go to #2 on HN. I've done work in ebooks and it was easy fo

If you have a Keurig pre 2, and you want to save plastic, these work: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008XFE2YO/ref=oh_aui_detai... Sounds like 2.0 will break these, which is evil; many people who use Keuri

It doesn't say anything about watching these over time. Do the rings move? Do they fill in after a year and new ones form? It's not like all the grass is in rings.

I'm 46 and rode the Web revolution to a great career, working for some amazing places, and I'm still worried about some of these things. I've done a lot of things I'm really proud of, and I still don't feel done, so

> Hepatitis C is a slow death sentence I don't understand that statement. I had Hep C and it was cured with interferon/ribavirin. It was a nasty treatment and I guess there are people who don't complete it, hence (probably
