    Paintball was fun but can lead to scarring. I got a scar on my bicep from one, it finally faded 10 years later and another one, my 2nd time playing. I covered up much better but go…

    From what I understand though is magic still ton of cards compared to HS, HS has ~ 320, isn't that much smaller than Magic, even with restrictions? I think the meta will be a lot m…

    But look at what they did on ST:Next Generation! They went the other way and replaced him with a psychologist who would proffer such advice as "The Klingons are firing at us, I sen…

    $14.99/mo, though at one time I was offered $100/year, should gave grabbed it. The credit plan was discontinued and only the $10/mo for streaming/no credits is currently offered as…

    Wow, that's one heck of an anti-American diatribe! Maybe SV is like that (I can't say), but "Americans are impossible to develop deep long term and meaningful relationships with" i…

    I know, right? People wanting to talk about a common subject among their friends via social media!! And those people talking about the weather in the elevator! Simpletons.

    Kudos to Rob Rhinehart and the team, to see a dream, with all the difficulties they've faced, ship is an incredible effort. I'm curious to see the effect after a couple of years. S…

    The problem I find, on crowded flights at least, is that if you don't have checked luggage and board late, you could find yourself without a place to put your carry-on, forcing you…

    Could it be that too many people see it as a way to get answers from homework? I feel programming is like voting, if people aren't motivated to do it, I don't want them in the prof…

    Like boardgames (ones on boardgamegeek.com, not Monopoly)? It's a great hobby that requires interaction. It's great for ice-breaking imo. Most men need ice broken to make a connect…

    My wife and I kid about it, but to me, emotional validation is the same as a lack of confidence. I have some unpopular beliefs, I don't need them to be validated by anyone. If I di…

    Odd, I've streamed Netflix to Chromecast and my laptop video to Chromecast just fine. It may be your wifi connection.

    You're correct, I thought that was expected behavior, my mistake. TBH though, I'm surprised ASI didn't fix the problem, I'll have to look at the rules for insertion again.

    Quite possibly but if that's your only experience with them as a consumer, that's your (my) impression when evaluating them. So maybe they'll gain customers that have had positive …

    Most web browsers (if you're running this code in a web browser), will do ASI (automatic semicolon insertion). http://jsfiddle.net/CxUXh/ works fine in Chrome, changing the console…

    From someone's who over 40, I'm glad he was candid. It's good to hear people's perspectives, they shouldn't be afraid to share their thoughts. Maybe by him sharing his story, other…

    Disappointed Windows Azure isn't listed. Ignoring the anti-anything Microsoft crowd, it's a stable easy-to-use reasonably (at least competitive) priced platform.
