Well, I learned from Steel Panthers W at W how to assault anti-tank positions and how to counterattack with Panthers. These all came in handy in my real world job of Field Marshall.
Climbers do the same thing with their gear. I put different colors of tape on my gear and stick to it. You have to try to come up with a scheme others won't likely use. It helps a lot at the end of the day when you are tired and you've been swapping biners, ice screws, etc all day.
I played Nethack on a laptop on a business flight once. A guy walked by, did a double take, and gave me a knowing smile. A fellow member of the nerd society!
I've had very good experiences (price, selection, shipping cost and speed) with them but I haven't had to try to return anything either.
Another online store I've had very good experience with is "ZipZoomFly" (selection, price, and low to no shipping cost) though they don't have quite as big a selection as Newegg. I've also bought openbox items from "TechForLess".
$50 billion per year being spent trying to treat a symptom? How about spending that money on the causes; overpopulation, alternative energy, and energy inefficiency?
As it was pointed out before, the energy spent getting 8000 barges up to the arctic, the support they require, and pumping the water would produce more greenhouse gasses than they would counter. Plus barges tend to perform poorly in North Atlantic storms.
All of those points are moot unless they are backed up by changes in the law. To rely on policy instead of force of law is a recipe for further political manipulation. All patents should be treated the same, not just the ones that draw enough attention.
They can start by eliminating (as I understand it) the use of patent fees to fund the USPTO. Those fees should go into the general fund and the USPTO should have a budget like everyone else. That way the USPTO isn't encouraged to allow every patent that crosses their path to be accepted just to collect the fees.
The definition of "significantly new" needs to be tightened up also. Some forms of patents should also be eliminated, such as business methods (a BS invention if you ask me).
Someday we might see copywrite reform also but I'm afraid I won't live that long.
Shhhh! Just stick to skin color or ethnicity please. Don't mention age, that (like class) is a taboo subject. Admitting that there is a deep age bias in this country would be admitting the fact that we consider people (experienced people at that) to be disposable. Older folks also have this bad habit of expecting pay commensurate with their skills.
FTFA: "Indeed it is probably a little unfair comparing MySQL directly with the low-end products from the other vendors as MySQL has been built to compete at the high end with the other vendors' enterprise-class databases."
The article didn't touch on how procedural SQL (i.e. PL/SQL) support in MySQL compares to that of other vendors. Pretty important if anyone was considering migrating.

It is good to know that my efforts will be appreciated in about 200 years.
Now if they can get it to think of your questions for you it'll be perfect.
But it still has security holes.

Two words, "compound interest"
Please refrain from calling Red Sox fans, like myself, in the US "Yankees". "Yanks" is ok but Yankees are that big bad team from NYC. ;)
That is why I use the Mr Bean method of taking the steering wheel with me.

Unless they are all looking at porn on the job so they consider it "work"

Or add some noise so the watermark detector (assuming it is looking for an exact match) won't be able to find it.
"That was a major gloabl [sic] climate change"
If you read the article you cited it says:
"While most believe the LIA to be a global event, some question this."
It may have been a localized event restricted to Europe, possibly a disruption of the Gulf Stream?
Those were in the days when people harvested a crop called "mildew"
"Ever seen snowmaking systems at ski resorts?"
But running a hose up a mountain isn't the same as pulling thousands of barges up to a notoriously rough sea for months at a time.

"3 keys, real useful. If anything, I want MORE keys, not less."
Ok, don't buy it. No one is forcing you to buy anything. They are still planning a full keyboard by the end of the year. RTFWS

If you are only interested in playing Space Invaders then I guess you're right.
Great, now they can blame us:

You're not L Ron Hubbard by any chance, are you?
Are you implying that you have pics of Fabio's gaping rectum? FOATSE!

Whatever you do, don't tell anyone in any other countries the word "FOO". It is our secret. We even have a law saying so, so there!
Wait, are you saying that not everything I read on the internet is true?
