I'm trying to get old computers for kids in Namibia high schools and a friend and myself bought a kindergarden over there. I should be going back in 2 months to check on them. If you're interested in helping, send me a note.
Here are some photos of the preschool and the computers sent off to the high school.
I have acorns. Actually, depending on the type of oak tree, there are certain years when the trees do not produce acorns as expected. If you have several species that are not producing all at once, then you have an acorn famine. If you have the same problem next year, then we've got a problem.
Because I know enough people who are in the industry and own their own game development companies. That's why.
Everyone has an idea and and everyone wants to pitch their idea so someone. It's glutted. If you want me to give advice to the kid to say "go ahead, burn yourself out and if you have a good idea, expect it to get ripped off, but SURE, go for it", then You and I would be doing that kid a disservice.
Who are you to give advice that he should go into game development?
There are a billion other kids who want to write games and chances are that they are better than you.
It's like wanting to be a major sports figure. There are only 5000 people in major sports. The likelihood that you will be one of them out of the millions of other kids is slim and none.
Are you really that good? If you think you're not. then well, you're not.
Ugh, I got 24 out of 33 for a 72%. Am 42 and have been in software for most of my life. Majored in marine biology. Yes, I live in the States. But, do I need this info to make informed decisions about my govt or to lead my daily life? Serious congrats to the people outside the states who know more about the country than I do.
"why do these things always happen like come on its a car."
Could you please try some punctuation? It took me way too long to find out what you really were trying to say. Also, if it is a car, then the big company that makes the car wants to protect just everything about it.
Anyway, learn the power of punctuation, Luke. Try this sentence next time:
"Why do these things always happen? Like, come on, it's a car!"
If people can't understand what you are trying to say, isn't that something you should fix?
Dude, it's Texas. It's odd. I mean, we have women here who call themselves Christian, dress like the live in LA, go out on Friday to cheat on their husbands, then go to church on Sunday with their families to feel good about themselves, meet their girlfriends and think this is normal. I met one hot chick who takes her clothes of table dancing when she can, but spends two hours reading the bible on Tuesdays. Deluded idiot? Obviously. Dallas is odd. There are no flat chested women in Dallas (implants must must be the law) yet the place is bathed in religion, women who position themselves as MILFs, upgrading your date, "how are you and how is daddy's money", and church on Sunday. Weird. Fucking weird.

Shoe bomber play action figures?
What's scary about that Checkpoint toy is that the man in the chair looks a little bit like he just stepped out of WW II.
Or maybe what's scary is that it exists at all.
Stop bragging about your parrot mimicking all the action you're getting.
I'll go with Velma.
Good luck. Wishing you the best.
Yeah, one might think that the article poster would have explained the acronym.
FUCK! I hereby exhibit my freedom of expression.
Thank you for listening/reading/watching.
DOH!
There are times to publicly execute your legal council. This is one of those times.
please remind me to never purchase a Lexus.
Or attach a 4 TB Drobo to it and then use Time Machine.
Then make a backup and test the restore.
Their admin is criminally incompetent.
Props for my Alma Mater!!
Drinks at the Sunset Room are on me!
Don't confuse name dropping for honesty.

Awesome sig.

"older guy's"
What? Guy's? Guy's what? Come on man. You mean "older guys", not "older guy's". These are two completely different things.
Please pay attention. This is basic Grammar School English. Try to get it right.

It's called civics, not civic.
that we don't know how to identify a soul, what a soul is, where a soul is, if anyone actually has a soul, that is a very open question.

DallasSingles.org, LasColinasSingles.org. Isn't it illegal to plop these signs on public land? I hate this crap.
