I like that rule. Two months is definitely an absolute minimum. That's when you pull your pockets inside out and say you're broke.

Food is, hmm. Well you can eat for really cheap, or you can blow all your dough on one meal. Up to you. Lunch is usually pretty cheap, dinners are expensive. Also, drinks are very expensive! I drink a lot of water because I refuse to pay

It's usually between 15 and 30 people. We book a conference room kind of space, provide some food, drinks, music, etc… and jibber-jabber for 3 hours or so. Some people go home and some go out and grab drinks at a local bar afterward. It's b

It's not the UI layout that is distracting to me... it was the visual gimmicks. For example, the UI draws so much attention to the pointer which is the representation UI representation of me. It was like the UI is telling the painter to loo

The UI gimmicks are a bit much… It was just barely tolerable until I saw the woman's hand holding the card below every photo I hover over. Especially since if your screen is large enough you can see the arm cut off. Just my opinion: people

I think by "promote bad practices" you might mean "abstracts complexity away from the developer". This is true of just about any API. Nobody blames the API when their ORM layer generates a massive SQL query based on complex query input. Und

So on one hand the US has completely given up the moral high ground and basically said "cyber sabotage" is fair game. On the other hand, we thought it was ok to give access to every US embassy's cables to just about any private in all of th

For some context, this app is by Robert Hodgin who is quite the visual graphics hacker. Check out the videos he links to. He also created Magnetoshpere which was purchased by Apple and is now the default visualizer included in iTunes.

I've heard a lot of people who are mad at the merchant and think it's their own fault for accepting so many orders. That may be true, but there is a huge conflict of interest for Groupon. They get a chunk of the money for each deal so I can

I suspect using a square steel tube would work better because it gives the pipe a very tiny bit of give relative to a round tube. It would allow a smaller hole and faster extrusion without cracking.

I left perlmonks a decade ago. I would also say I left the active community. Doesn't mean I haven't kept up with the language. Doesn't mean I haven't programmed perl in the meantime. What don't you get? You're making an attack on me about
