I was literally cringing when she spouted this nonsense. If that's the case, maybe they should do the same in the Bay Area as well. It won't distort the housing market etc.

Always take the Amtrak train between Chicago and Detroit - so much nicer and easier. In my opinion, better than a car on a long weekend when the roads are jammed.

If you use any (and I mean any) school funded resources for any of your personal projects, yes, they usually have a basis for a claim. I have a friend who went to Utah for his bachelor's in CS.

"entire neighborhoods empty with the yards growing weeds." Maybe they can actually get some cash by growing weed there, now that it's legal and all. ;)

I would love that too! If they had some sort of stat meter next to a product saying x% of the purchases were returned, it would be great. Plus it would force the seller to up their game or die.

"kind of like when Netflix shows "shows related to" when they don't have what you're actually looking for." I wouldn't mind that to be honest. And I've discovered some shows/ movies which were pr

Same here. I am a US to UK person as well. Stuff is just so much easier to find and fill out. It was a breath of fresh air, where previously I would dread the thought of trying to use govt websites.

Maybe I haven't been paying that much attention. I travel wearing a mix of dress/ converse/ boots type shoes but no issues so far. Neither has my GF had any issues (that I know of).

No it's not. I fly regularly intra-EU and maybe once (?) have had to take my shoes off in the last 5+yrs....can't even remember. I don't know which airports you transit/use but I go throw most of the major ones across EU

Really? Don't get me wrong, MySpace did have its own thing going on back then, but was filled with creeps and strangers I'd rather not connect with it. When Facebook came about in my freshman year in 2004, it was a breath of fresh

VX was the only airline in recent times I actually look forward to flying with. I dreaded most of the others.

Are there even "closed office" designs? I've never worked in one. I think I might have been in a couple maybe once or twice over the course of last 5 to 6 yrs while visiting someone. Everybody in my office, right up to senior

"If Samsung pulls off the latter the whole smartphone evolution is just done, over, finished." The next thing will be not to have a phone at all, or a holographic one. ;)

So damn true! It's one of those things which you wait all your life to slip into an article/ convo.

Sounds a bit like IBM back in the day. There's an anecdote that you never got fired as a manger for choosing an IBM product/ solution. It's the safe choice, no one could really fault you for going with it, even if it didn&#x2

I like Apple too - writing this on a 2013 rMBP. Works flawlessly (touch wood). But the new Pro series is just not pro enough for me. Why the hell should I buy a dongle for everything? It's supposed to be pro - you shouldn't have t

Though to be honest, even if I could afford something massive, I'd rather not - just don't see the appeal in it anymore. Maybe when I was a kid growing up in HS and in college, I used to think that way. But having traveled and liv

Python in definitely one of the easier languages to learn if you have some basic programming experience. You will definitely be fine with your background. I never learned/used Java. I only had some C and Matlab/Octave experience,
