Is there such thing as "too much" power? Somehow with 48gb of RAM and a server processor this thing still crawls like it's Windows 2000.
I was always taught that any type of bonus should be treated like "free money" and saved immediately, not spent or counted towards your yearly income.
I bet if OP would just save his bonuses and not use those as a basis for his "normal" income, he could easily achieve much more than a 3 month cushion.
People who spend all they make are people who never had to eat Cream-O-Wheat with weevils in it, and live on Top Ramen, and Mac and Cheese, and Little Caesar's Pizza, when they were younger.
I still eat Little Caesar's Pizza and Mac and Cheese because it's awesome. It's nice to be able to do that because I want to, not because I have to like back in college! I do agree, his issue is clearly one of financial discipline, not a "career choice".
Great point(s).
This guy (an easy weight gainer) is marrying a gal that simply doesn't put on weight like I do, no matter how much she eats.
That's a win for me!
You also forgot to mention that he saw a nutritionalist, which could cost anywhere between $100-$200/hour where I live.
Seeking professional advice (and paying for it) is hardly hacking.
Also, body fat percentage and muscle mass, IMO, are much more important indicators than weight.
I'd rather be over weight than under muscle. Extra weight vs. not being able to life/carry heavy things, etc.
I personally really liked lollipop (5.0) on my Nexus 6, after upgrading from Kit Kat on a S3.
I've heard so many complaints about the new GUI, but I like material design. Everything is snappy, I get good battery life, I can switch between apps fairly quickly. I even got an OTA upgrade to 5.0.1 and it was barely noticeable. At first I was a little freaked out about not having 'silent mode' but now I've just gotten used to interruptions, which after you get used to the functionallity, it actually offers more options about controlling your sound.
Hopefully I'll get 5.1 OTA and get those new features, and maybe some bugs get fixed. That would be enough for me.
Agreed. Are kids not smart enough now to start off with Java/C#/C/C++ for that matter?
IMO, learning the more diffficult languages first will make learning less complex languages much easier, rather then the other way around.
Why does Windows keep this antiquated process around?
That's a great question. The only thing I can think of is someone making money off of having the crapware bundled together to offset the cost of offering their product as a free download.

How about that.
According to a Dice job search, there are not ASN.1 jobs out there. Learning ASN.1 will not
secure you a good gig in a specific industry.
Therefore,
So is it really worth taking the time to learn a new, little-used language for anything other than the thrills?
I went back to my old iPhone temporarily, but when I switched back to my android I wasn't getting some people's text messages. Thanks to this post, I know why!
Went online to deregister my phone number and problem solved. It is a bummer to think how many text messages are now lost floating in cyber space.
You're totally right! What have I been doing with my life! These computer things are just a fad, should have went to school to learn how to make flying cars.
Exactly, at least with Credit/Debit cards you can report your card lost/stolen and almost instantly your described issue would have been resolved.
I can see a merchant having fine print saying something like "Use of CurrentC consents automatic withdraws for XYZ service at $9.99 monthly".

As long as it's not giant spiders...
New ways to control when and how you receive messages - only get interrupted when you want to be
I would be a horrible human being if I left the sound all the way up on my Nexus 6's giant speakers.

$100k a year with ridiculously high cost of living (I've been to San Francisco, F that) is just like making $67k, instead you give more to Uncle Sam.
Or my vote: (d) All of the above.

Why would he want to explain this shit to people? Ambiguity is a much safer route.
My only friends are my co-workers!

No.
It's much faster for longer words. But for all of the shorter words with 3 letters, it's almost impossible to get them right every time.
That's why they threatened any movie theaters who were planning on showing "The Interview"
That is an OS?
And teachers always say not to use Wikipedia for research. "Wikipedia is the devil!" When used correctly Wikipedia is a valuable resource.

Sell it.
Internet service would cost 80 a month to add where she lives
Uhh what? Normally where I'm at paying over $50/month for internet means you're getting ripped off.
Or ask Frank Lucas
