Death is neither good nor bad. All life is terminal. You can't fix it, even if you can prolong it.

The sooner you get this into your head and heart, the better you will live.

This looks like tons of fun. I know what I'll be playing with over Thanksgiving break... it will be interesting to see if this could be a reasonable platform for playing with digital synthesis and spectrogram analysis and the like.

Could also be that they are only looking at the subset of collisions involving bicycles where the cyclist was determined to be at fault, which isn't data available in the analysis given here.

Looks great, except the fading of the main part of the screen when the footnote displays. Gets annoying fast.

As one who has lived at 5500ft elevation or higher for all but of few of my 40+ years, this is pretty interesting...

I still wouldn't trade the Rockies for anything.

I always vote. Thank you to the 60+% of you who don't vote, giving my vote more weight.

Well, they named it after an old Intel core. Why not the BMW i7? (grin)

The extra cost is in the extra 2 to 4 nines of uptime guarantee.

"Unf. you are mentally fittest between 20 and 30. " -- not in my case. My best work and all my patents have been in my 40s (so far, still there).

I just downloaded the Columbine Pass map for Colorado (Vallecitos Basin and some of the Chicago Basin, NW of Durango), and trails _are_ on the map...

And the trails are in the layer "Map Frame -> Transportation -> Road Features".

And the Trail names are present in the layer "Map Frame -> Transportation -> Road Names and Sheilds".

Here I though someone had made a digital speedometer attached to a wheel that an actual live mouse ran upon...

That would have been cool.

Man, and I have half of season four to finish... and it's not streaming free on Prime either.

Thanks, I'll check it out.

Sounds like it will fit in fine with SAP.

Same. I had noticed performance degradation in Chrome using ABP, and disabling made things fast again. Haven't enabled a blocker since.

I love that book...

A long time ago I wrote up some experiments I did in the early 90's thru 2002-ish, where I rendered multi-million-point-cloud 3d strange attractor images using a z-buffer/shadow buffer combo.

When I first learned C, after having used Turbo Pascal for years (back in the 80s) it was frustrating. When I finally understood it well a little later, I felt like I had taken off the shackles of Pascal...

I use it all the time. In my experience, it produces much more optimized code that the alternatives (which seems to be true for the UNIX vendor's compilers in general as well)... and as I work on a large-scale system that must perform well, that alone is sufficient reason to use it.

It has definitely had its annoying moments from time to time tho.

I'll second that, Mr. Brownworth's podcast is excellent, highly recommended.

"The user copies across iOS app binary and system libraries and it's done."

So, the user gets to violate the Apple copyrights. sigh

This makes sense to me. In a lot of way, the current generation seems to have a lot of folks suffering from 'special snowflake' syndrome. It is drilled into people at school, 'you are special! You are destined for greatness!" But the reality is that they don't tell you theat most of the great things in life are free...

A good family and children, personal happiness, friendships, love. These things make a person happy and satisfied. Even relationships I've had when waiting tables and the pride I took in doing that work was extremely satisfying (even if the hours were bad and the pay mediocre). But that was because of my attitude and goals, not because of the work.

Now, I work at a very very large software company doing interesting, challenging work and am paid well for it. Despite all my great coworkers and satisfaction in doing my job, they are not going to keep me company or be my real friends at the end of the day.

Work to live, my friend, don't live to work.

I came to post the same thing... I had NeXT cube serial number 32 on my desk at Los Alamos as an intern back in '88 running NextStep 0.8 and clearly remember how amazing the machine was. We got the first 50 of the line (I think) because a guy in the Laboratory was a friend of Jobs, and Jobs wanted to promote the box as the perfect research tool thanks to Mathematica and the like.

Those were fun times!

Some game companies, like GMT, end up publishing their own games on Vassal and set them loose for use.

It isn't an alternative.

Illustrator runs on Windows and Mac, this runs on PC. I don't have a PC, nor do I want one, so this is unusable. Now tell me about how design has to be done on a and how the MS operating system on the computer helps you do it.

(Tongue firmly in cheek...)

After playing for the last 20 minutes, I agree, undo would get in the way.

I couldn't find 'letters' by searching on 'letters' in the app store... too many other things came up first. By search for your other games, then going to letters I was able to try it.

Pretty fun, would be nice if it had some of the 'hip' words used these days, "Selfie" etc

(edit, had some stuff in here about would be nice if there was an undo)

Bad headline. The "trick" is not a trick, it is allowed under the current law. Should read, had the headline been written by an objective journalist, "Obama presses to close corporate tax loophole."

The thing is, Mr Young, Cogent wasn't an ISP. Verizon is. Verizon will never have equal peering with any backbone.

Good luck with that, Mozilla.

Why? I'm surprised so many more have tried it.
