   I've been on a software development hiatus for about 8 months now and it's been pretty restful. Not ready to get back to it just yet though. I was having issues resting and resetting day-to-day and that burnt me out and I found wh

   I've had an account on 4 Dimensions for (wow) 18 years now. I log in every now and then to check things out but don't play regularly anymore. I do see some of the same people there and I they still update and improve as far as I k

   Have you put what you read in Danny Flood's book into practice? I'd be interested in hearing your potential success story if you'd care to share it.

    What about the T460p? Looks like it has the WQHD option but I can't seem to find info regarding the RAM (soldered or not).

    I work at a Smart Grid company and we make devices and software that help conserve energy and natural resources. I'm glad to have found the job because my previous job didn't have what I perceived to be a benefit to society and th

    He mentions that his home server and internet gateway is a Sheevaplug with a wireless dongle and dialup modem. Presumably he doesn't have a landline where he lives. Can anyone comment on getting dialup access via a cell phone connectio

    Definitely check out Theranos ( https://www.theranos.com ). As someone who wants the kind of data that comes with blood analysis and is semi phobic regarding needles, I love what they're doing.
