What's strange is that they're investigating two international terrorists who committed mass murder and all they're talking about is their fucking iPhone? What if after all this drama and forcing everyone to install backdoors

I don't know how he got adderall, but modafinal and the other drugs he mentioned are either schedule IV to Rx Only, so if you ask a pharmacist nicely they can give it to you. (That's how I got modafinil when I was in college)

Yes, the US has only recently started warming up to cannabis. It's ironic considering the US strong armed the world into banning Cannabis (starting with the International Opium Convention). Now they're claiming to be more progress

If these are the kind of people working at Mozilla it's no surprise Firefox has been continuously losing market share to both Chrome and IE over the past 3 years.

I experience something similar. When I have a beard I can't look at myself in the mirror because I think I look like a bum, but everyone (both men and women) are more friendly and pay better attention when I have a beard.

Congratulations on your launch, and your approach looks unique enough to have place in face of the many online coding shops. Just don't get complacent with your revenue, it really isn't much.

Indeed. I've found PHP simply allows me to get things done and consequentially it put a lot of food on my table. There are only two kinds of languages: the ones people complain about and the ones nobody uses - Bjarne Stroustrup

Does anyone know what are the 'serious consequences' we face if there aren't as many women studying computer science as men? The male-domination unfortunately persisted since 2000 but the industry has still grown leaps and bo
