I've done this in the past and it does work. There are a few additional details that this description is missing - like what to do when an "interrupt/interruption" arrives (you just note it down and deal with it later).

Indeed. I was thinking that the question is in some ways like asking "How can I understand the chemical symbols used in these equations". One could perhaps memorise that 'Na' is Sodium and H is Hydrogen but without knowi

I think the cost of complying with the law is just cost of conducting a business lawfully. So, those parts should not be spoken of as if they were part of the damages.

I know their pay isn't good but it is calculated based on where one lives and is similar to what the parent-post mentioned.

If you are referring to the return when he was facing championship point, then that is indeed noteworthy. The spirit he displayed there made me a fan of his and to this day, I admire the cool-headedness and the resilience he displays.

It shouldn't be so hard to grant that one could harbour doubts about one's ability yet one could go ahead and make an attempt to do something. Also, I'd not read it as "inability" from the wording chosen.

If you have access to a good library, it's a good place to try various types of books to see what you like. Ultimately, what you will be reading a few years later is hard to predict from what you start reading now. However, in the begi

Laptops have terrible ergonomics. If you want to have the (small) screen at eye level, then the keyboard is not at a good height. If the keyboard is at the right height, then you have to look downwards to look at the screen. At work, I have

In some places, you can buy Google Play Store credit in shops. Perhaps you could pay with cash too (my preference). I suppose that could help if such an option exists around where you live.

If it in any way matters, I'd be very glad to read some insights on why some people seem so impossibly warm (assuming you don't mean "body temperature"). My fondest memories of meeting people for the first time is always

I do know that posts solely for humour are not really well accepted here but I have to admit that the title really begs to bring up a reference to "Dwarf Bread" from Discworld. http://wiki.lspace.org/mediawiki/

Ultimately, people will behave as per their incentives. As long as the push back and the negative publicity from it threatens a greater loss than the profits from thing they were about to do, they'll back off. Otherwise, I don't t

While this is possibly true, I think we should not discount the fact that a lot of prescribed reading (in schools) is not age appropriate literature. If I had read 1984 or 'Lord of the Flies' during my schooldays I would not have

Depending on where you are, a "regular" black coffee could also be an espresso. A drink which was made by adding water to it and removing the crema (the horror!) from it is the standard in some places. So, it's best to disamb

Slightly off-topic but if the "history of science" is a subject that interests, I can recommend "The Cambridge Illustrated History of Science". It's an expensive book but I was able to borrow a copy from a library n

Dr. Stroustrup took a lot of pain to ensure the language was useful and did not break backward compatibility. He also always maintained that if you don't use a feature you shouldn't pay for it (in terms of performance). Eventually

Absence of evidence only means that there is not sufficient evidence to pronounce the defendant guilty. It is not evidence of innocence. They are not the same.

I did not make a judgment on any of those options. I was just saying that if one were in such a system and had that kind of an outcome, one must question one's choices. I'll clarify again that I've not stated which side of th

Often, it's hard to recall exactly how you landed and rolled etc. in an accident because it happens so fast. So, if you've had a fall, just replace the helmet. You may think it never hit the ground but it's not worth the risk
