"Those who have passion will sustain"

oooor bills to pay...

Could you please give an example of code using one style vs the other that showcases why someone would turn down a language for it?

I'm guessing when it becomes commonplace it will be far easier to whip out my phone and IM people across the table.

the only thing worse than spam is smug spam...

"For example, I didn't contact github because I knew one of the peole working there was in on the joke."

hmm, couldn't it be that some other customer service people would actually do their job about your issue? How do you know it would all be channeled through this one guy that was in on the joke? In any case if they did ignore your request, you could still do the whole crashing thing...

Thanks for making me aware of Mnemosyne!

One thing that helped me to learn English was to watch movies (especially stuff with cool oneliners) with both subtitles and close captions on when possible, so I get a transcript of the dialogue and a translation at the same time. Later on I only needed the English subtitles to verify that what I heard was correct.

Movie quotes are great because they lend themselves to repetition (much to the annoyance of everyone else in the room).

will check it out, thanks

Of course. I thought that was implicit, sorry. What I don't agree with is the article's proposal to start over.

One can't escape the corporations or governments' influence. They are already in every aspect of one's life. Rather than trying to build a super secret treehouse away from their gaze it's more productive to find a way to protect people's freedoms within the current system. To make it so senators do not have the power to meddle with the network arbitrarily.

It causes readers to either slap their foreheads and say 'oh wow, 200 lines? I could have done that! why didn't I think of it?' or 'oh wow, it takes true genius to hit just the right 200 lines. I could have never done that!', the common factor being 'oh wow'

The future as fallen prey of the hand-wavy notion that things will be taken care of somehow by someone. Problem is, taking action can involve hard work, spending time in jail or other unpleasant activities so when there's abuses people just let it slide.

Maybe it's cynicism, maybe cowardice or just plain laziness. Anyway, gotta get back to watch Seinfeld reruns and stuff my face.

I love it! I can finally use middle-click to open stuff on another tab.

totally agree!

Also I browse with chrome at 144% zoom so that picture ended up taking more than half my screen which freaked me out some more.

We also have a ping pong table at work. Aside from the the benefits of weaving some exercise into the routine of staring at screens all day, the best thing we've observed so far is that it's a social activity that requires very little setup (just pick up the paddles and go) and has a very low entry barrier (many of us either never played or did so many years ago).

The end result is that people in the team got to know each other the quickest of any place I've worked at (and new team members integrate in no time), which also resulted in people working really well together.

Funny thing is that we also have a Wii which was bought the same day as the table, but only saw playtime the first week. After that it has been collecting dust.

It's not the same having a car hit you at 1 mph when you're stationary than when you're both doing 40 mph and the guy behind is unconscious. A number of things can go wrong.

The moment you have other people in your vehicle you're _responsible_ for their lives. Now everyone is cheering because it worked out but it could have easily ended up as a [Retard] tag on Fark.

not to mention "Without consulting the passengers in his minivan — "there was no time to take a vote" — Innes kicked into engineer mode."

more like "Innes kicked into irresponsible mode risking other people's lives to try something he probably saw on a movie"

webkit has a fatal flaw: they didn't write it!

Couldn't the same be said of people who play sports or jazz or any other thing that involves making fast decisions?

It's like there's this desperate need of justifying playing video games with every new study that says 'look! I am not actually wasting my time!'

Personally I think no silly justification is needed as there's nothing wrong with enjoying entertainment.

Almost every time I dig to find out how the magic works, much like the performance art, I end up disappointed, scared or both.

thanks!

do you remember what was the rpg one called?

not bad but went on for a bit too long

grinding RL is such a chore, I think I'll buy an account instead

what about funding to keep self and family up and running?
