  1. Re:Glasses, contacts, lasik on Ask Slashdot: What's Out There For Poor Vision? · · Score: 1

    Lasik left me unable to drive lo these last 12 years due to starbursting, glare, and halos. Anyway, this article explains http://laserfitlens.com/bad-la... and talks about a solution using wavefront-design contacts that uses Dassault Systemes 3D software, an optical coherence tomographer and a wavefront aberrometer, not things you think in the typical O.D.'s office.

  2. On the downside on Is D an Underrated Programming Language? · · Score: 1

    From the same article: "On the downside, I searched for D programming jobs and found just a couple". I like D but you can't get work doing it.

  3. He did return to academia on Mathematics Great Alexander Grothendieck Dies At 86 · · Score: 5, Informative

    According to the wikipedia article http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A..., he did later return to academia until 1988: "He retired from scientific life around 1970, after having discovered the partly military funding of IHÉS. He returned to academia a few years later as a professor at the University of Montpellier, where he stayed until his retirement in 1988. "

    I much appreciate your comment as I'm just getting back into the guitar. Rock on.

  5. Re:Refactor... on The Futility of Developer Productivity Metrics · · Score: 1

    When Paul Allen was doing his book tour, he said something like this, "Today they use the word refactor a lot. We used to just call it rewriting."

  6. Unity's table look and feel on Ubuntu Heads To Smartphones, and Tablets · · Score: 1

    No we know why Unity looks the way it does.

  7. Re:Sounds Like Drupal on Foundation Drupal 7 · · Score: 1

    Thanks, I'll take a look at it.

  8. Re:Sounds Like Drupal on Foundation Drupal 7 · · Score: 1

    Drupal is uneven, missing features that you would expect from a full CMS and enabling functionality via contrib modules that I have spent months coding in the past. Features show up that are clearly not ready for prime time and are slowly developed into useful modules that become a core part of the Drupal developer's toolkit. It really seems like the archetypal open source/agile project in that way. Unfortunately, that style doesn't work well in a dead tree format. It will be interesting to see if a second edition hits the shelves that fixes some of the glaring problems.

    What opensource CMS's are good?

    He actually got 2 more PhDs while in prison. (I forget what they were for though)

    Good point. I missed that. He did earn a PhD in Psychology and another in Economics while in prison, in addition to some other degrees.

    The grand total is three Phds, one J.D, and one MBA: a Phd in Nutritional BioChemistry, a Phd in Psychology, a Phd in Economics, a Juris Doctor (J.D.) degree, and MBA.
