Is it just me, or should they have given him more than $120 for exposing this major flaw?

I think it's easy to also say he lied. Probably before, and his support of gay marriage is his true heart... which is nice, so he's got that going for him. But, he probably lied.

I'll bite. I've been studying a lot through tutorials and have built some small side projects, but nothing that I feel really proud of. Am definitely seeking some mentorship as I start to tackle something more important.

As someone who works on PoS software, I get to watch this ugly bootup process twice. Once for Windows, and once for our software.

Rdio tried with Vdio. Didn't work out and they shut it down.

Also feels awesome to shave with a solid piece of steel rather than some 9-bladed rubber-gripped FlexxxoBlade9000. 1936 Gillette DE FTW.

Why? Why does his opinion on that private political matter, over which he has almost no control matter to you? Would you ask him who he voted for? If he thought the war in Iraq was justified? If he believes in abortion rights? If he thinks

The majority / minority argument does not hold. Oppressed minorities are not always in the right. Arguments around gay marriage / politics / Brendan need to step back and argue the issues , not the size or relative social po

That's not really an option here. My next best possible step would be our dev team, which would be doing C# and SQL stuff on a Windows stack. It would be more money, and I'd learn some stuff, but it's not exactly my highest c

I've actually been thinking about doing that. And yeah, 2009 was my year to leave as well. It was mostly a combination of personal factors (parents divorce etc...) I'd like to go back, but feel daunted, and lack the capitol to do

Thank you! I've actually recently befriended a voice coach and am going to record my first demo reels this weekend (on my iPhone, lulz). I'll be sure to look at YourACT and see what's up there.

I try to learn a little every day. I've been watching screencasts on database design lately, and soaking up everything I can get from MOOCs. http://www.codecademy.com/samelawrence http://teamtreehouse.com&#x

Yeah, I'm still in Atlanta. I do dislike traditional corporate enterprise, and often wonder if I'd do well at a place like Adult Swim or working in a music studio doing webdev for up-and-coming music artists or something. Trouble

That's what I'm doing right now. I'm a QA Engineer working on embedded POS software on an 11-year-old Windows stack. It's like a cocktail of things I don't care about. I'm making the best of it, but I feel like

Both? I like being involved in the creative process, and the long, late hours with the team, but I also like that moment when I get to share it with customers and users... I don't really know how to answer your question other than that

My current job has no real connections to the avenues I'd want to pursue. I have a pretty strong network outside of work though, that I can leverage, but I first must decide what I want to do next. It's a big world out there. An

What would you call it? I guess I'm technical... but I'm friends with very technical people, so I feel at a loss. The jobs I'm applying for (and getting rejected from) are at world-class companies and startups. I don't

Yes. Over the years I have consulted independently and worked full time for two years as an Apple Authorized Consultant (ACN). I really enjoyed the work, but I didn't make enough money, and I felt a yearning in my heart to shift my foc

So, I guess the future of Google Maps is where your GPS actually shows your car driving in real time down the highway. I love living in a video game.

No, it doesn't. You tell Aereo where you are, and it gives you your local broadcasts only (last time I checked).
