Gary Burton was also a Berklee local, as were composers of many of the other seemingly obscure selections. Those tunes probably were in fact "standards" in that time and place, and through The Real Book , likely achieved more pro

They at least offer some "healthier" renditions of it. But overall, I reckon, no. I'd still rather eat Annie's than Kraft.

Some people prefer not to commingle the functional, lambda-calculus part of a language with the parts that do side effects. It seems they believe in the separation of Church and state. --Guy Steele

The challenge now with ditching the cell phone is that, in light of so many people having cell phones, the once-ubiquitous pay phones are mostly gone. Instead of carrying a cell phone, I once carried a few quarters.

I excitedly bought that game when it came out, only to find that it wouldn't run on my Windows NT 4 system. Never got to play it.

I can't speak for your colleagues of course, but I find this line of thinking very reasonable: A big salary can evaporate quickly. Between March 2001 and April 2004 roughly 400,000 American jobs in information technology were eliminat

Bureaucracy was very enjoyable. I wish he had released that same basic content in other forms. I often think of scenes from that game in everyday life; too few other people have ever played it.

This is not feasible advice. I can't read studies and correctly interpret and summarize them in every area of science which could affect my day-to-day decisions. That's insane. But if you wanted to study something out and make y

I bought a new MacBook Air last year, and a USB A/C adapter with it. I somehow lost the adapter. Bought another one. Then bought a dual A/C USB thumb drive. I'm getting along, but would appreciate at least one USB-A port. I a

If you are asking me personally, my verification experience has been a mixture of manual tests, and writing test scripts in either Python or a custom in-house language. These scripts run in an avionics simulation environment, in which typic

Most of my career has been as a "software engineer" in aerospace. We absolutely do build things to requirements, and verify those requirements are met, with copious amounts of formal process. This same style of development could b

Does even Disney really push Mickey Mouse cartoons much any more? They seem to mostly focus on other product lines. I wonder just how much they would lose out on with no further copyright extension.

Years ago, I think when I was still using a Commodore Amiga system, I went into a computer shop in St. Louis to see if they had any SCSI drives. The clerk at the store went off on this surprisingly lengthy and heated diatribe about how SCSI

Without looking ahead to see what's next, I would agree, there's no solid way to determine if the pitch should be displayed as C# or Db. If you are speaking in terms of a single melodic line, it could be a fair compromise to displ

Obviously nothing native to the key, but various borrowed chords and what-not, such as: a V-I tritone substitution of Gb to F would include a Db; augmented 6th chords, such as German or Italian 6ths, built off of Db directly; a borrowed dom
