FWIW, the kisstrust.com website appears to be down (giving a 404). Furthermore, I'd like to express my opinion that these lawyers are a bunch of douchebags.

I've always wondered how vulnerable infrastructure is to physical attack. Kinda scary what a group of people could do with coordinated attack on multiple substations at the same time. A month to fix everything? Yikes! I wonder how vuln

Yes! I've always hated the common kata, because for every dev writing software for a bowling alley, there are 200,000 devs writing software the sends invoices or stores documents. When I'm teaching TDD, the kata I have everyone go

This is incredibly cool. I'm consulting for a company right now that does Power over Ethernet Lighting to enable fine grain control of lighting scenarios. I've definitely shared this link with the team. If anyone is interested in

as a control, I'd be interest to see how people do drawing the same map when they can see a reference map as they're drawing. perhaps people just suck at drawing? That is obviously true to some extent, but how much so?

IIRC, most states that have instituted voter id laws have made the cost of an ID free. Also, expired drivers licenses work as identification (for the elderly who have ceased driving).

a coworker got into the beta and I got to play with the controller for a little bit yesterday. I really like the concept of the touch pads, especially as a big FPS person. Analog sticks just can't compare to a mouse, but the touch pa

If you have a problem with a double Dutch sandwich, then lobby for fixing that, but don't hose a hard working farmer and his family by nailing them with a 40% estate tax. There are a lot of millionaires who have paid taxes on every pen

Judging by the other responses, I'm probably a bit of a contrarian, but all in all: "meh". I honestly don't care. Wealth is not a zero sum game, and all talk about the horrors of wealth inequality are completely ignorant

That is the thing I can't stand about most liberals, they always think they know what's better for you than you do. Take your nanny state regulations and bother someone without their own brain.
