  1. Re:Yelow on Blue, look at the old monitor designs on Best Color Scheme For Coding, Easiest On the Eyes? · · Score: 0

    That's also why it's hard to follow the puck when watching hockey on TV (for the few of us that actually do that). Small black dot on large white surface...

  2. Product Management on Non-Programming Jobs For a Computer Science Major? · · Score: 0

    Many EEs and CS majors go to product management (I'm an EE in this role now). Your primary job is to define the problem that the product should be built to solve. You meet with customers, developers, analysts, and everyone in between to define the product and then take it to market. It's a lot of fun, different every day, no programming, and usually some travel.

    Obligatory wikipedia article on the subject.

    Look for job titles like "Product Manager", "Product Marketing Engineer", "Product Marketing Manager", "Product Line Manager".

    Leech (computing) From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation, search Access denied: remote loader detected.

    This request has been identified as coming from a remote-loading website. This is not Wikipedia, please update your bookmarks. Access Wikipedia only through *.wikipedia.org.

    A remote loader is a website that loads content from another site on each request. The content is typically filtered, framed with ads, and then displayed to the user.

    The remote loader either: * Pretends to be the source website, perhaps using a deceptive domain name; or * Converts all instances of the name of the source website to some other name.

    We consider remote loading websites to be an unfair drain on our server resources, and so they are systematically blocked, as this one has been.

  4. Re:In the US no one wants to buy light cars on Efficiency? Think Racing Cars, Not Hybrids · · Score: 1

    Except I'm not a pedestrian. I'm on a bike, going 30mph. And I'm supposed to ride on the sidewalk (which is illegal in most cities), hit pedestrians, and stop every block? How about you just watch where you're driving?

    Except that it's much more dangerous for the cyclist to be on the sidewalk, since every time you cross a street you're out of the line-of-site of the driver.

  6. Re:You people still fly?? Amazing.. on TSA Limits Lithium Batteries on Airplanes · · Score: 1

    As long as you define anywhere as the small sliver of the globe called the US. Me? I get on a plane about once a month. Its a pain, but it's worth it.
