You should at least know how to splice and crimp an ethernet cable.

You can kickstart a product like the Veronica Mars movie or Bee and Puppycat show. This looks like a product to me, a web serial. It just has ancillary aids for classroom presentation.

First I have heard about that. I had to look it up on wikipedia. I have a resentment of gendered pronouns but I don't think there is any realistic hope for change.

I wasn't disagreeing with the statement about the ketogenic diet, I was disagreeing with this statement:

"Sometimes statements are statements. People needlessly attach emotion to the written word when there is no need."

In my disagreement I explained how the author has an imperative to make sure they are understood and, since we only have the words that they posted to go on, it is important that they are clear in their wording.

Secondly, I am not responding to their tone but the clarity of their statement. It is a completely different argument.

I was just trying to explain how the comment could have been misunderstood. You seemed to put the burden of understanding upon the audience and I felt compelled to elucidate the source of many commentators 'needless emotions'.

Some people also make fun of everything that does affect them.

People are complicated. I have been to funerals where it is almost like a roast. Some people deal with heavy emotions through humor.

I do understand how if something doesn't affect you it can be very disrespectful to mock it. I am just pointing out that not everyone holds a reverence for even very serious situations.

It really comes down to phrasing. If they had said "Have you tried a ketogenic diet?" Or "Some people have found a ketogenic diet to be helpful with type 1 diabetes." it would be fine. Instead it came off as an order or command: "Switch to a ketogenic diet."

One of the things about written communication is we only have your phrasing and word choice to inform us of your tone and meaning. It is vitally important to use proper phrasing to avoid being misunderstood. It is entirely possible that their comment was innocuous but it came off as rude.

Pretty ethical marketing too. Giving away a bunch of games to encourage donations to charity is better than pulling games from Steam and releasing games as Origin exclusive like they have done in the past.

The first thing I thought of is, even in a hypothetical world without a Clear() method or any means of adding one, why use a for loop instead of a while loop? And if you are set on a for loop, why not simply set the first count to a variable? It is bad on multiple levels.

Except that it was a private company that invented the pen and then sold it to the Russians and the Americans and even to the public. I am sure they have made back their $1million investment a couple times over.

I was going to say PHP but then I saw it at the bottom. I am guessing they mean ASP/.net? I am not sure though, the list looks pretty complete to me.

What a zinger. Unfortunately a basic understanding of PHP is still required for enough tasks that I would recommend learning it early on. It is also a very forgiving beginner language that naturally segways nicely from html/javascript.

There have been a lot of indie shows popping up via Kick starter funding. Here are two off the top of my head:

It is a little strange to think about. Most people experience some depression in their lives so things like chronic depression are easier to understand through your own experience.

It is strange to think that someone who is 'always so happy' gets depressed. Not that they are hiding that depression under their cheer but that the cheer and depression are genuine states that manifest very powerfully. It just isn't something that most people go through.

That looks great! When did Dribbble get so huge? That is less of a dribbble and more of a splllash.

Yeah, that is true. But I use Insyc on Windows because it is much more stable than the default drive app and supports symbolic links. So it isn't so much that Linux support is bad as it is that Drive support is bad.

I like the black bar. It is simple and it works.

Google Apps has great support.

You can use Drive on Linux via InSync: https://www.insynchq.com/

Doublefine just ported their entire catalog: https://www.humblebundle.com/

Oh. I guess I never thought of strings as immutable because there are so many ways to change them.

What are you talking about?

I ran Ubuntu with cinnamon for a little over a year but finally moved over to Mint. There is just a lot more support and stability for using the default DE+WM and a lot of programs can have problems outside of the expected.

Someone should make and distribute one before May 30th.

If it isn't on GoG or Steam (or Humble Bundle) I just don't buy it. I don't have that much time for games and will just go without. Steam is an amazing service, I am surprised that movies and music have not followed suit.

Well if that is the plan you might as well just raise taxes on oil and gas. It would be more direct.

Yeah, I did some research and discovered I didn't know anything about it.

For some reason I thought it was a plan treat carbon emissions as something that could be traded. So if I have a factory and lowering my carbon emissions would cost me $5000 per ton/day and you had a different type of factory that could lower it's emissions for $1000 per ton/day I could sell you my emissions for a negotiated price (in this example, let's say we settled on $1400 per ton/day) and you can lower your emissions and I can keep chugging along. The same amount of carbon is in the atmosphere but it only cost $1400 per ton/day and you got to pocket some money to make your factory run cleaner.

I understand now that it is much more complicated than that but I like the idea of what I thought it was.

I am sure that that is going to be the product that actually takes off. Google Glass will probably fail (at least the first iteration) but give some data for the next attempt. Then when Apple comes out with iGlasses everyone can act impressed.

Some symmetry would help. They could probably have a smaller profile if they had the components on the right arm and batteries on the left. Then encase each of the arms in some plastic for protection and fluid form. I think they would look better with some actual lenses but I wear glasses and I don't know how someone without glasses would feel about that.
