Really? Wow, a lot to learn in this thread! Seems like we might not be very palatable for many creatures (or are just too bizarre for them to eat).

I like to think of it like gymnastics or performance art: it's "worth it" for its own sake, not to mention other benefits/consequences emanating from the arts. (I use "arts" liberally, in this context)

Oh you bet! And I'll probably will need to read that book, as well. Sounds intriguing.

It was as if Detroit was hit by a perfect storm of boom-town, bust-town with all the sexy variables thrown in. What you described is a big part of it. And being mostly a one-industry town was another part, in an age of rapid globalization,

Re: the moving-in "trend" There's been an uptick of post-college types moving in the midtown area, and professionals in the downtown area -- but it's pretty much limited to those two areas, a tiny portion of the city as

Yeah, it's not a crime technically. Everyone is using the word figuratively, here.

To the other two replies to the op, I think he meant "crime" in the figurative.

My cousins live in London, Ontario, but spend maybe 1/2 of their time in the states, where their mother (my aunt) was born and raised. They cross the border all of the time. They love to joke about the Canadian attitudes towards their

I noticed the same thing one time in a very similar circumstance. One guy after another being assigned to state work that very day.

For me, at least, there is something that repulses me about the idea of a service that encourages violation of deep partner trust. It seems the opposite of "open" to me. On the other hand, I can also understand the argument for ch

I've been scratching my head on this for quite a while as well. It seems to me that the value of the degree is going down, yet the price continues to rise. The self-education model (and ignoring the complexities of managing that ) i

Thank you for that analogy, I think you might have saved me a bit of time wrapping my head around the FP "paradigm".

Your advice reminds me of advice Al Franken has seemingly taken in his political career so he can break through his image of being a class-clown. A WaPo article I randomly dug up: http://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/

Hmmmm, possibly my slow-as-could-be hard drive. The SSD in my newer machine really does make a HUGE difference, to speak obviously ;) I have the feeling my old machine is using a bit of VRAM when WindowServer starts getting too heavy.

And way back in time, Apple had even factory-disabled my second NVIDIA card on my MBP because it had created heating issues in tests. So, I installed gfx, or something, to get it working. And then, predictably, major major heating issues. A

I did a fresh install from a seemingly healthy, semi-recent MBP and Yosemite's WindowServer seemed to begin a slow strangulation on my machine. Solved it by buying a top-of-the-line machine, which I'm sure Apple is loving.

Like true Scottish people. I don't want to be a prick, but that's a can of worms, right there.

We may discover that the act of passionate conquering makes men feel that much more closer to "God". The "Immigrant Song" exemplifies the hellish glory of war, to me personally. "And now you better stop, and rebuild

I may have some dumb questions, here. But I'll stab at one or two anyhow of them, at the risk of looking even more dumb in this thread. Is there a possibility, or likelihood, that hard AI could diverge into at least two major dichotomi

Since I'm not an insider, I won't argue the merits and difficulties of extracting a settlement in a situation such as this. But if I were a shareholder looking at this not-very-surprising and easy-to-stomach number, I would simply

Cool photos! Yeah, after flying over NYC, Chicago, San Fran, Detroit, etc. at night, NOTHING has come close to LA circuitry. Perhaps Las Vegas and Phoenix, on a smaller scale, but I haven't had a chance to view those cities personally.

Another breathtaking "circuit board" is Los Angeles -- at night. I immediately likened what I saw to a glowing circuit board without thinking twice. What a resemblance! Very computational. Flying in from the east, descending over

Without going into any detail (it's late for me), it smacks of paying up-front for some sort of lifetime employment insurance policy. (Probably a bad analogy, but it's an attempt)

Seems to me that college is a lot of things to a lot of people, and it's probably important that these expectations and measures of results are explained as understandably and universally as possible between all these groups and intere

That's my initial reaction. At the very least this is destabilizing, until they can refine how courts may/may not order such blockages in such surprising ways.

Good luck getting me to perform there. It's already hard enough to get people (paying customers) to laugh. And as a customer, I'd avoid that place too. Wouldn't want to enjoy myself too much.

Happy Saturday! Underutilized Drupal ninja here (Lansing, MI)! Saw you hiring post -- would Benzinga be interested in a "full stack/ish" Drupal dev for both remote AND on site work? Full time? Would there be opportunities to

Hey, thanks for the info! Where I am in Michigan things are still looking a bit shaky, and I'm tired of waiting!
