I rarely (I would say never but that would make me a fool) agreed with the man but his dissents were usually well written, worth reading and understanding. For better or worse, he represented the view point of many in America.

I'm merely speculating as to why the Judge who was quoted said what he said. But, yes, of course. 10 months is a long time to stall a nomination. I don't know of any precedent in this situation.

Well, considering that the Presidential election is this year... (the Republican) Congress will not confirm any nomination from President Obama before the election is over. So, I imagine that the appointment won't happen until after th

Yep, I have a RF burns on 2 of my finger tips that I sustained between 5 and 10 years ago... They are dead little bits of flesh. Discolored a deep yellow, there is no feeling left and they feel, I guess I'd describe it as, quasi-numb w

I've had the same experience as the poster you're replying to. I had to remove any bits of the fact that I bootstrapped my own fledgling (small, successful in it's own right, yet not capable of sustaining full-time wages) sta

Yeah. I find that I usually don't submit my comments (despite writing them out and over-editing them, typically in a JOURNAL.TXT style file, as well) because I start thinking about how they'll be perceived or interpreted, how they

I auto-pilot CTRL+W those sites, there isn't even a decision process. The only answer is, "Well, this is going away now." In a similar vein are sites with modals, which pop as soon as you start scrolling, that attempt to exto

Thankfully there are still plenty of places where skills like programming and soldering intersect in the "modern era." I also feel (maybe I should say I hope) that we'll see a resurgence in this set of skills in the future as

Sure, but it really, really depends on the user. People with accents seem to have a hard time getting it to produce usable results. I only have anecdotes, but they seem to suggest that foreigners and first-generation English speakers have a

You can export as various formats and it is still 100% readable on Kindle (I have experience with both apps and a few devices). It doesn't mangle anything. Not who you replied to, but I've been using this exact setup to protect my

Also Jeff Kaplan [0] and Alex Afrasiabi [1]. Given the origin story of WoW... I'm not sure I'd call it the spiritual successor, per se. Though I do understand what you're saying and it definitely took a turn towards EQ after

Yep, myself and a friend and they had logs from one of our Undernet channels. Interesting to hear that it was somewhat commonplace. I hadn't heard any similar stories until the mid 00s and ours happened around 97 or 98.

Just to nitpick... Battery is the physical act. Assault is telling someone that you're going to kick them, hard, and giving them the impression that you intend to actually do so. Both of these things are criminal, obviously. But appare

And still, no where in there, a single mention of the mental illness these individuals clearly suffer from that is utterly disregarded by society.

So, how do we find employers that want to hire the most agile, creative, and curious engineers? I've long given up on trying to locate those companies, they are unicorns to me after more than 10 years in this industry. When I switch jo

This all reminds me of Vibram's and the minimalist running shoe movement. Runner's wanted things to be "natural" because it's "healthier." It sounds very novel. But we didn't respect the fact that we&

I went through this recently and was very put off by it. A team member left for a (dramatically better paying) position elsewhere. The day after that team member left, our manager was making it very clear that they had left us to work on so
