As a father, I can say that if someone moves in near me and they're a registered sex offender, I hope to know about it. I don't care how minuscule the crime is, the possibility of repeat offenses or misbehavior is too high to risk it. "Is t

I figured it had to be something of that nature, and indeed, the disclaimer is clear about the data presented. Upvoted for the explanation, thanks.

This bothers me honestly, why would you accept benchmark screenshots from someone that made claims against another persons code? Was this an interview or something? Was _why alerted to this as a chance to refute the claim by providing his o

They make 6-6.5 sound like a short amount of sleep...I generally sleep between 4-5 and if I get 6 I'm feeling like I really slept in. Of course, I might benefit if I slept more...I just have too much on my mind or to do most of the time.

Nah, I'm not sufferings honestly, I can still sit for 4+ hours and be fine, I just figured there was something I was missing out on. It's not exactly the most comfortable thing in the world to sit on a wooden chair for hours, but most of th

Good question, I've been looking at buying a nice office chair for home recently since my wooden dining table chair is starting to get a little old. I'm really curious if the investment in something even as high as a mirra or Aeron is reall

You know you're in Texas when you receive company wide emails asking people to stop spitting in their trashcans, actually, it's published company policy.

I can believe there is that many lines of COBOL, after having learned and having to maintain/write COBOL, it's verbosity causes small simple programs to span hundreds of lines.

Yeah, being a leftie as well, spiral notebooks are incredibly uncomfortable, unless the spiral is on the top. Even reversing them can feel awkward.

This is silly, all it's saying is that if you're humble enough to donate anon, you're going to be vilified. I'm unbiased as far as windows/mac goes, Jobs does seem very orientated to his visions only, but I refuse to believe Jobs doesn't do

Say what you will, but T-Mobile has been an outstanding company - I've used them for 5+ years and I can't tell you the discounts, offers, late fees, other misc things they've taken care of. You get a sense they really value their customers,

I can't believe Franklin was tossed into the wardrobe section and mis-quoted, funny, it's almost as if it was done on purpose.

I question how fair some of this is, it's natural to me at least to not want to reach across an empty page to start my drawing, it would be better if we knew also which character was drawn first, the good or the evil I think. Being left han

I actually own a G1, and I'm very pleased with it. it needs a little polish and more speed, but overall using an iphone and using the G1, I'd pick the android anyway. And yes, largely because I feel comfortable with the level of customizati

I first started reading Coding Horror about a year ago, as someone who is new to the development and programming world, he really opened my eyes to a lot of misconceptions I had held, and I can say without a doubt he led me on a path to gre

So, when you argue with your client over this specification for hours, and they decide to give the job to someone who will make it consistent, then what? From a business point of view, especially in the marketing world, you'll have a hard t

by thismat 17y ago
Yes, agreed. It's such a nice thought, and so many of the elite tops can do it, but when your clients or customers require support, it's either get paid or don't.

Well, I can definitely agree with you on that, the initial load was really uncomfortable. I was talking about total overhead input/output though, would likely be less if it caches, instead of having a slew of flash/images to handle it...tho

3.3mb for a font used for headers across the site, or getting that much or more (as the site scales) from the images needed, or generated, or flash used replacement, et cetera. It seems like a lot, but if it caches, it would probably end up

Oh, I think this will be hilarious...Everyone loves to see Comic Sans in every corporate email, because it's a "laid back" font. Now we get to have it plastered all over the web too. Every blogspot blog will not be graced with paragraphs of

You can learn to manage multiple projects after you master managing them one at a time. This doesn't mean you should be working on multiple projects at the same time though, multi tasking seems to be pretty solidly proven as less effective
