resting your wrists is bad form because it creates a bend in the wrist. Wrists are supposed to be elevated such that the wrist is straight, completely, from all directions (notably in this case, the back of the hand should be of the same horizontal plane as the back of the forearm). This can be tiring, but it keeps the tendons in the wrist from dragging along the tubes they're in, which cause nerve inflammation. Guitarists try to keep the left wrist straight for the same reason (that and the reduced amount of friction reduces the energy needed to move the fingers, increasing control and smoothness of action, letting them shred faster).
I've seen terrible Java code. Java apps that are slow, clunky, buggy, crashy. Errors? Try{} makes errors go away, you wrap it in try{} if there's an error.
If you make a bunch of assumptions, use nested loops for brute force algorithms, fail to close network connections and files, failure to use mutexes properly, etc, you'll get horrendous code. Deadlocks are possible. Exceptions are possible. Race conditions are possible.
"Heavily encrypted" psh. Logic analyzers bypass hardware encryption, son. That's how we got the Sonic ROMs. You try modifying a SOD-CMOS chip in an undetectable way, when the damn thing never alters state but just adds state so you can see all the changes that have ever been made simply by plugging in a UMCP ID and replaying the data core.
$750 rent, $100 utilities, and I eat like a king--Oxtail stew, deli meat sandwiches, paninis, sushi, fresh bread all the time, even fish (I love mackerel). I used to ride a bicycle to work, but now I take the light rail; I have a car, but I pay very little in insurance because I don't drive it a lot, about 50-100 miles a month. It will last a long time because it's maintained and lightly driven; I had a coworker who bought a brand new car every 3 years, and people used to get them every 5 years routinely here due to 20k/year driving (folks like to live in PA and commute 40 miles to work in another state).
When it's temperate I use a fan in the window at night, then shut the windows at dawn, keeps the house 10 degrees below daytime temperatures--not great when it's 100F during the day, decent at 80-90. This drops my electricity usage by slightly more than half--my bill can be $50-$60 until July, then $120-$130 in July and August. Note that July and August are hotter, so the AC consumes more power than it would in May and June (which is where the half figure comes from--looked at average temperatures on different years during times I was using AC versus a fan, and how much power usage for 72-73 degree average).
We have billboards discouraging pregnancy here because everybody is poor, 14 year olds get knocked up, and we have a welfare state. They claim raising a baby is $780/mo, but the government gives you $3500 for the first one and $5200 total for two per year. Aside from start-up costs (i.e. a crib--cosleeping hell no, not sleeping near that fuckin' thing, but it would save a few bucks--a week's worth of clothes), baby should be cheap. Medical is covered by expensive family insurance plan (seriously $300/mo instead of $80/mo single or like $150/mo employee+spouse). Food mill will turn steamed sweet potatoes, carrots,peas, apples, etc into baby food. If the woman wants to wash traditional diapers I support this, but I'm having no part in it... god babies are disgusting, they shit and vomit everywhere...
Small children only need simple, long-term toys. A Go set for a 4 year old works, and keeps them occupied for pretty much eternity (having a 6 year old whoop you is terrible though). No firetrucks and plastic things that get played with for half a week, then tossed under the bed while the kid whines about needing a new toy already. Kids should be playing games with other kids. They should have bicycles (transportation, not toy--gets you to your friend's house, or 5 miles away, in a hurry so mommy doesn't have to take you everywhere on the back of the motorcycle) and board games and super soakers, not a thousand plastic helicopters and noise makers that they're going to toss around for ten minutes before becoming viciously bored and demanding you buy them something else.
People who buy their kids $50 of toys a week (or $100 or $500) are worthless parents and their children will never make it as anything but consumerist whores. I'm not going to have a daughter who marries the first guy who buys her tons and tons of shit (I've seen that happen, girls get quickly impressed by a guy that buys them a $200 pair of shoes, and a $500 X-Box, and a necklace, and clothes, etc etc... not normal pay-for-the-date stuff, just keep giving gifts--omg he buys me so much stuff I'mma marry him!).
Apparently getting remaining capacity is hard. It's doable, but apparently also some newer hardware supplies a chipset that does the calculations in hardware for you because programmers are too stupid to math.
I worked in a call center that employed precisely 3 girls and they were all very cute. The one that was pregnant was less cute, but still very cute. Pregnancy usually does a number on that one, but she managed it, though she looked like a deformed alien with an unnatural spheroid bulge at the gut that no human could ever develop.
Used to be, now white collar trying to live on a blue collar salary. Of course I have a white collar salary so I'm fuckin' rich. All these whiners like "used to be you could save for retirement, but making $60k-$75k/year these days doesn't leave you any room to actually build any savings!" and I'm like "lol I live on $15k-$20k pre-tax salary, I make 3 times as much as I spend and I don't make no damn $75k!"
Excuse me for a minute, I have to continue WINNING.
For phone stuff I set security questions like "Would you like to have dinner some time?" or "Wanna have sex when I get off?" and call to tease the cute customer service girl.
I usually put garbage in my security questions. And forget it. "Where were you born?" "In the back seat of a greyhound bus rollin' down highway 41." "What high school did you go to?" "Blowjob High." "What is your mother's maiden name?" "*@^*@G*UHU
Please answer your security question: where were you born? Uh. Somewhere? Hospital? Chicken? Dokoka...
Look, if the police, FBI, etc, show up at my house with guns to arrest me, I guess I'm getting arrested. I may have a problem with this, it may be stupid or wrong, but most likely I should be getting arrested. (Unfortunately it's looking more and more like they just like arresting people)
If I commit a crime and some country like Sweden has me extradited, the FBI shows up here, arrests me, and sends me there. Sux.
If fucking foreign police ministry shows up at my house with a military invasion force, THEY ARE GOING TO DIE. I'm under attack by a god damn foreign invader for shit's sake!
Why did this guy surrender to foreign police making an arrest with a military invasion force in HIS country? He should have only surrendered to the police of his own sovereign state!
To prevent another person from taking advantage of billions of marks in a way harmful to him?
Let's say CISCO starts making good hardware and gains some market traction in a mainly open market.
Now let's say CISCHO starts using the CISCO logo and making shit that looks like CISCO boxes. CISCO has a good reputation, people see the CISCO logo or something close, they buy it.
CISCHO either becomes popular for their good, reliable hardware OR they destroy the CISCO brand with their broken, shitty hardware (and sell better quality controlled but not-as-good-as-CISCO hardware under an unrelated brand). Either way, they may be able to make something decent, but not as good as CISCO, and still outsell CISCO, maybe even at a higher cost per unit, ripping a bunch of people off and trampolining off the hard work of one business to establish a brand image.
If I saw the OSHWA logo without prior background I probably would assume it was some how tied to OSI due to the similarity, which kinda defeats the whole point of a trademark.
I saw it and went, "These aren't the same company showing the connection of different brands?"
American girls should have hip huggers with bell bottoms. Not hippie flair, just a little flair out around the calves. The country look makes them seem perpetually young.
Raw defects doesn't indicate quality. A defect by which the system occasionally has to stop and replay some data write-out because of some hoakey disk driver is not a gerat problem: the disk driver is buggy, and is using a shitty hack to fix it. By contrast, a much better written driver with a very corner case race condition that 1/100 as often simply destroys a ton of data has a huge problem.
Linux is like that. If a hard disk drive starts to not respond, it'll send it a reset command and continue. It'll mount the filesystem read-only without special options; in some conditions that's important, because the OS view of the FS might be completely different due to undetected write failures. In any case, it's still up and you can get information out of the kernel. I've had the system hose itself so bad I couldn't actually read the logs or run dmesg, but if your boot process copies a few utilities into a ramdisk and sets tty1-5=login tty6='chroot/recovery login' you should be able to switch to that tty and run. Bonus points for statically linking chroot on boot (i.e. the boot process copies everything in from installed fs, then uses ld to statically link chroot to all its dependencies), so in a barely-functional active ssh session you can '/recovery/bin/chroot/recovery/bin/sh'
A high-quality system that fails 1/10000 of the time and destroys everything is worse than a low-quality system that fails 1/100 of the time without cause for concern. Yet the low-quality system is clearly shitty.

Yeah but I know how to modify data cores so mine broadcasts false information.

Yeah, you only have the option to write terrible or mediocre code in Java.

Those look like third order polynomial curves to me...

CSR Chick: "What high school did you go to?" Your answer: "The same one you lost your virginity at!"
For phone stuff I set security questions like "Would you like to have dinner some time?" or "Wanna have sex when I get off?" and call to tease the cute customer service girl.
The problem with that is I've got a 50% chance of getting it right. "Templates" or "operator overloading."

Who cares? DirectX is better anyway. OpenGL 4.3 pff. DirectX is already up to 11!
