    Dad tried to teach me how pointers worked when I was 6. When that didn't really stick, he tried flow diagrams. That seemed more fun than Barbies but I didn't come back to computers…

    So sad. I distinctly remember how my sis and I (female) got a pair of generic brand transformers as a present back when I was 8. Dad was inspired after we watched Voltron every Sat…

    When you have 3 kids to take care of and have no background in finance/accounting/etc. do you really want to start getting into THOSE details too? Why would you doubt your husband,…

    Netflix makes it pretty obvious that you're signing up for a monthly subscription. It is also a pretty well-known fact about their business model so it's much harder to be "duped" …

    This always happens when people without any knowledge and understanding have the power to approve and impact so many lives. Re: names of government bills, it's all a "marketing gim…

    Personally I couldn't be more in love with MSFT tools (granted they're expensive and I'm using whatever free version they give us). I've worked with Java way back but can't help sw…
