Yeah, I never have been big on podcasts but ever since they added it to Spotify I've actually discovered a bunch of great stuff. Makes those long drives when you can't agree on music easier.

Not sure, it's an iPhone 6s. Sure a lot of the places were a little bit out there (Eastern Washington, Badlands, Southern Utah, Yellowstone) but my friend was nearly at full service the entire time (aside from mountains). We ended up

I'm normally happy with T-Mobile in the cities, but after a cross-country road trip I'm pretty disappointed with their service in the Great Plains and PNW. My traveling companion consistently had service with LTE with AT&T wh

A lot of Chicago's population loss is on the South Side where violence is high. Also the elimination of the projects has moved a lot of Section 8 housing to the suburbs, as it gives low income families a chance at a better life in a l

Why would you think that this has anything to do with IBM's consulting arm and not the fact that IBM maintains their own JVM and employ a ton of JVM experts to develop and maintain it. Jigsaw was a great idea but poor in execution. I

I had Webpass fiber in Chicago for over a year. It was nice 1Gbps symmetric too. Back on Comcast now though :(

I use an older iPad and it does great for comics, but there are lots of monochromatic comics out there, just not necessarily the popular cape stuff.

It seems like a hit piece from Bloomberg - someone must want AmEx's stock to drop this week.

Higher fees. FWIW I live in Chicago and rarely find a place that doesn't accept AmEx.

It can be. If internet history is subpoenaed during the discovery process of a patent case it could be used against you. I also am slightly annoyed that it was a direct link to a patent since there's really nothing good that can come

There are a lot of buildings within the Chicago Loop that use cold water from the river for cooling. Here's an article I found about it: http://www.sustainable-chicago.com/2010/03/11/cold-as-ice-ho...

> Everyone has proper attire. I think that's probably a big component of the policy, I regularly see kids on the train or out walking to school without proper attire to be outside in the bitter cold.

In some places in the world, including where the author is from, it was dangerously cold this week. Here in Chicago the temperature was around -5F (-20C) all week, which is dangerously cold for anyone outside in prolonged periods without p

That's not exactly true. As a titan pilot, there is more to do than just clicking broadcasts / sorting your overview / aligning. That's the kind of stuff that happens when everything is going well or you are shooting an

Leaving out a lot of the North side there. I was going to sign up and give it a shot (currently use Peapod) but they don't deliver to me.

Me too! I compared general purpose GPU libraries versus performance on a Beowulf cluster and OpenMP / UPC. Was a lot of fun and an interesting experience.

That's not true anymore, the average 2BR cost has gone up to $1800-1900, even higher in places like Lincoln Park.

I don't know if this is some sort of joke or not, but apparently there is some sort of cult / fan club for Gadget in Russia. http://www.odditycentral.com/news/russian-cult-worships-fema...
