If somebody had tried to shoot the crackhead it is very likely that an innocent bystander would have recieved the bullet instead depending on the skill of the marksman and the movement of the target. Guns dont protect often (or the USA woul

I suspect that the chrstian objection to D&D stems from that it teaches you to think for yourself and do frequent problem solving. Nothing is as hard to control as an independent mind.

Typo on the front page: "This message will change to something else in 5:58 or when someone bids or when someone bids 0.002." You say "or when someone bids" twice. Other than that, nice concept.

I guess they wont "need" to set up the camera. But it is recommended as it is there to help with head-tracking. So your movements inside the 3d environment will feel more natural with more degrees of freedom.

In the scope of my article, when will you be at your destination? Will you be driving at full speed on the freeway for the rest of your life until your car breaks down from wear and tear? Or would you not rather arrive there a bit later wit

Talk about taking every single word I wrote literally :) Thats ok. I do regularly work on side projects. But being 100% productive 100% of the time, in my mind, is not healty. This is my personal opinion. The assumption you make about your

If hacking away makes you happy, go for it :) I can only relate my own experiences. I do tend to code for hours on end on whatever catches my interest. The point was trying to make is to relax once in a while :) (Never expected this to reac

Yep, lets just jump on the god-phone and call god to get him to help him out in this instance. Just like he helps starving or diseased people throughout the world every day. Or my uncle, who died of cancer recently. The list seems material

I imagine that the fact that the regular worker has already been paid is not the big picture here. If every movie is stolen or given away for free, this reduces the incentive to create more big pictures that would keep giving these people j

On the flipside I grew up and decided I was a bit too smart for school, dropped out and tried on my own. After spending a few years doing pointless, manual, hard work I decided I should go back to school. After graduating my life has turned

I live and work in Iceland as a software developer (C++, python, javascript and related libraries) and havent had a single e-mail from a recruiter for the past two years I've been on linkedIn. Is this strictly a US problem?

This reminded me of the fact that I havent handled, or even touched, real paper money for at least a year now. Here in Iceland paper currencly is slowly being phased out, and has been for a few years.

Its double the pay. Just be honest with your current employer and be sure to gratuitously thank them for giving you a shot and wish them well in the future. Do not burn that bridge :) Good luck.

You might be approaching this from the wrong direction. Maybe you dont need a programming language at all, but rather some user interface sketching tool? If you want to learn programming itself, there are very few shortcuts as you will have

Apart from actual coding the one skill I would recommend you focus on, which might be equal to coding skills in the jobmarket is : People skills. Learn to talk to people, how to act confident, practice speaking in front of small audiences.

Nope. There never was much emphasis on education at home. The climate was that if you were old enough to work, you should go work. School was for those not quite strong enough to do "real" work. I always had the education bug in m
