  1. Second, because Visual Studio is a fucking fantastic IDE compared to the IDEs available on Linux. KDevelop is alright.

    What are your views on Eclipse? I installed Neon a week ago and I'm still waiting for it to start.

    Alternatively, you could turn the offending light off.

    If it's that yellow one in the sky, I hear movable cloth screens are available to block the entry ports.

    Sure but even that gives wiggle room because they can take the average wage nationally instead of locally

    Do you even read?

    From the link above:

    "The prevailing wage is determined based on the position in which you will be employed and the geographic location where you will be working (among other factors)."

    Doesn't even need any changes. They just need to vigorously enforce that rule and the one about the skills not being available locally.

    That's "available" without any qualifier or modifier, not "available at the wage they're prepared to pay".

  5. The product is equally shite or equally good no matter where you bought it from.

    Horizontal scrolling's got to be a close second.

    Unless it's gone through a switch it's on the track it started on. A train has only one degree of freedom - distance along. You can determine that with machine-readable mileposts.

    GPS is the wrong solution here.

    Didn't get an insightful. So far it's four funnies and a flamebait.

    A Kubotan doesn't really have any other purpose besides being a weapon

    Does, it had my keys attached to it. Tucks nicely through a combat belt.

    P.S. I'd query the wisdom of carrying a Leatherman. Not quick to deploy and it doesn't really have the right handle for use as a weapon. But still it's a knife, and walking around with such (unless you can prove you're a chef on your way to work or whatever) is going to get you in hot water.

    An obvious way to do it would be to look at Visa/Mastercard "card-not-present" transactions.
