That line interested me as well but for a different reason. Do schools in San Francisco not have an obligation to transport the children that are assigned to them? Actually, I just looked it up the SFUSD page and it appears they do, and the

First, there is no way I'm going to put my several hundred dollar smart phone/tablet on the sink, especially with my not exactly neat or careful 7 year old. Second, this won't fit on his Sonicare. It already has a timer and p

+1 not an April Fools joke. I rented a few goats to clear a big section of invasive blackberry in my backyard. Goats are pretty much the only way to get rid of the horrible stuff without nasty chemicals and scratching the hell out of yourse

Senors, software and such seem pretty error prone or otherwise defeatable. What about a "deadman's switch", a wrist strap connected to a short cable connected to a USB dongle. When the dongle is removed (laptop snatched) it w

I think what the parent was saying was that you literally can't afford to go elsewhere to find a job. When you don't have money to pay your rent, you likely don't have the money to: - Pay for airfare and a hotel to go out for

Global warming (maybe?) could be changing this. It's been depressingly hot this year in Seattle. I moved here from the Bay Area (well, Pleasant Hill) to get away from the heat. Ugh. http://www.komonews.com/weather/

For individuals, if you are ineligible for an SSN you can get an ITIN in its place, but as the parent notes, your business should probably get an EIN: http://www.irs.gov/Individuals/International-Taxpayers/Taxpa...

For the opposite cases, where the average pay for SE's is lower than the countries average, what's going on there I wonder? For countries with an oil based economy I guess this makes some sense to me, but Norway, Romania, etc? Wha

I noticed that the author is an "assistant professor of philosophy and religion." When I ran across this part of the article, I couldn't help but think of the philosophers bursting in on Deep Thought in HHGTTG: "You just

Agreed, and it's been an amazing success for Unity. I imagine it's why they now give standard Unity away for free, they make more from the asset store than from the editor licenses.

This is a great question, and it is nice that it's easily answered.

Google's translation made the article a bit more amusing: "The president of the Free Software Foundation has begun to feel ill, apparently due to a power surge" He needs better line filtering I'd guess!

This is definitely the appropriate response, and I've found Apple very reasonable in these situations if you are able to prove copyright.

This is the most sensible commentary I've seen yet. Fits the "America is pretty much screwed" articles making the rounds these days. It's actually pretty damned depressing that $20 billion dollars was spent on a legal game rather than aweso

I started my 6 year old daughter on Scratch. I think it will fill the bill for your son. It's very visual and includes enough control structures to allow you to make real programs (games and media presentations are its forte.) http://scrat

+1 for Invent With Python. I've got my 8 year old daughter doing it and she loves it. It's the closest thing that I've found to what first started me programming, David Ahl's Basic Computer Games. I've also done Scratch with her, which she

LucidChart ( http://www.lucidchart.com ) I love being able to use it anywhere, and they just updated it to work on the iPad which is nice. It's got a few issues to iron out, nothing that's kept me from getting things done, and I like suppor

My reply, I think it may not have made reddit as I've never posted before: I'm calling BS on this whole thread. The reason for the breakage is in the green circles, not the red ones: http://i.imgur.com/EYSo5.jpg The 2007 cables had small

Wow, was I supposed to feel sorry for her? I had quite the opposite reaction. - Just because you paid $200K to go to school doesn't mean you get the ideal job once you graduate. Working you way up from the bottom is a time tested method. TA

I've got to agree. Joining a project where tech is valued so little compared to ideas is doomed to be a crappy situation for you in the long run. If nothing else, it would be a good wake up call for the friend to spend the 7 grand and see w

I thought I would be the first with the same snarky comment :) Seriously though, I use my iPhone 4 in much the same way all the time and have never found it to be too heavy in any way. The solid feel also makes it less "toy like", which rea

My advice is based on the assumption that you are not having the child yourself and you'll have parents/in-laws/family visiting for a period of time to help out. - Take up to a week as soon as the baby is born. You'll need time to recuperat

Also it's worth noting that the FB API's are notoriously down quite frequently, so you lose auth at that point, which may not be the user experience you're looking for.
