About Audience vs Band Chart

When I am home listening to Metallica I might prefer the lighter songs like Unforgiven II. Whereas a concert is not just 'music', it is a whole performance! An energetic song definitely makes a difference. Thus, the chart is partly right saying that the songs from the extreme left would make people more happy, but how would playing those set the mood for the concert which determines the overall experience?
So why should the financial industry be subject to fewer regulations? Because they can be trusted with their word?
How hard is to convert to developers adults with training in other areas, but with presumed cognitive skills suitable for programming? I am thinking of people of 35-50 years old, that would be intelligent enough (i.e., there would be just a percentage of this cohort that would be fit for becoming developers), but who, from various historical and personal reasons, work in industries where the prospects are less interesting than in programming.

Are there any studies showing how the potential to learn programming decreases (or not) with age? I have looked on Google Scholar but I found nothing.

Crows have the same level of Encephalization Quotient (measure of brain size to body size) as many of the more intelligent mammalian species. They too have complex emotional and social lives, use tools and have complex language. There is even an argument that certain species of crows have co-evolved with us as hunter gatherers the way that dogs did CF - In the Company of Crows and Ravens (John M. Marzluff / Mr. Tony Angell).

Yes, I like crows :)
If you fast, when you stop fasting you will gain 20 pounds because your brain and body will be in "famine mode" and you will store everything to fat. Go ahead and try it.

I've been hovering around 155 to 160 my whole life, that is until the day I fasted for about 2 1/2 days, at which point I immediately started gaining weight after. It's been a daily battle since to not overeat. My subconscious mind says: "Eat, consume, gorge, because tomorrow there will be none" and my conscious mind has to say "no".

Looks nice, but instead of using dreamweaver MM_ javascript functions to show/hide layers, why not use PURE css :hover?

Something like:

#stan #stanTeteOeilGaucheToucheTrait { display:none; }
#stan:hover #stanTeteOeilGaucheToucheTrait { display:block; }

and so on for each bit you are toggling, or even group the toggled layers into one div and show/hide that on hover:

#stan .toggledLayers { display:none; }
#stan:hover .toggledLayers { display:block; }

Would reduce the amount of redundant code :)

What if you deleted the email you sent saying "Please ensure the crane you are using is rated for that load" and you need it when you get prosecuted by health and safety for the horrible accident that just happened.

EDIT: Or the email saying "Yes you can carry out the work in the manner you proposed but only if it will be at no extra cost to my client and you take full responsibility for the alteration to the original design"

I have two dogs, both from the local SPCA. My first was a stray and came to us with full blown anxiety. She used to have separation anxiety from people she'd just met (literally a friend dropped in for 5 minutes just to see her and she spent 20 minutes panicked and crying when he left). However, she's the happiest dog anyone (and I'm really not exaggerating that) has ever seen.

My second dog was abandoned by his owner, completely neglected (skinny, no muscle mass whatsoever, he literally struggled jumping onto a couch, and the SPCA had to shave him almost bald to get rid of the mattes) but that has no effect on the fact that he was depressed and angry over it. When we started training him he became pissy, jumped up on our bed and took a giant shit on it and that's from a 4 year old dog that's never had an accident in our house.

However, the second dog has recently become the bodyguard for the first. We've only had him 3 months, but around other dogs that are overly aggressive in how they tell off another dog (she's barely 2 years old, so a lot of older dogs are very assertive in how they correct her) he has taken to blocking them. He doesn't become aggressive, but when she is nervous or panicked he seems to step in and block, and it's funny because you'll see him for 5 minutes just blocking a dog from getting to her. Even when he gets snarled or snapped at he carries on until the other dog backs off. It's when she submits (rolls on her back, occasionally pees) to other dogs that you see him become angry as he (normally a silent dog) will bark and growl at the other dog and guard her. This happens all the time with our trainers boarder collie (they don't like excitement and our first dog is a jack russell mix, so is basically excitement personified) and there'll be 5 minutes of them squaring off barking at each other and him keeping the trainers dog from our first.

Our first dog knows right from wrong and when she's done wrong. If she knows I've noticed something she's done wrong (like torn up a burger wrapper) she goes into full blown submission and often pees on herself (it's a girl dog way of stopping another dog from attacking her). Our second however either doesn't know or doesn't give a shit about right from wrong.

It's actually surprising how much time has passed since Metallica used to be good. Looking at the infographic, they've now spend nearly 2/3 of their career in the "play the songs from this album on its release tour, then never again" phase.

I still distinctly recall the day in 2003 when I first uttered the previously unthinkable phrase "more crappy Metallica" on hearing their new release.

I actually downloaded their latest album when it so publicly got leaked on the internet. Then, with dashed hopes, deleted it an hour later.

Shame.

Hacker diet: http://www.fourmilab.ch/hackdiet/www/hackdiet.html
Opinion:

Emphasizing "as a good starting point," I'd recommend anything in the Ubuntu branch. This includes Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Lubuntu and Xubuntu, as well as Mint, based on Ubuntu. The Ubuntu repository system is excellent.

My favorite is Lubuntu, because it's "just your stuff" with very minimal "vestigial crap" (as the old Anybody's Bike Book https://duckduckgo.com/?q=anybody%27s+bike+book would call it). Lubuntu does have a few small rough edges, but I like its usable minimalism.

At the moment I don't think the main Ubuntu/Unity variant is good as a starting point, because its UI is significantly different from all other distros and therefore does not lead you down a path of expectations to look for when you eventually try other distros. In other words, Ubuntu/Unity mainly teaches you about Ubuntu/Unity, whereas most other distros give you more general Linux UI experience and expectations. Welcome to the Ubuntu/Unity world, as opposed to welcome to the Linux Universe.

When you're at a "starting point," then you want a distro that doesn't demand attention. Distros like Arch and Gentoo are for people who are ready and willing to spend time getting things going exactly the way they want. When you're at a starting point you don't necessarily know exactly how you want things, and being forced to choose is stressful.

Treat your first starting point distro as a stable base, from which you can learn. Branch out from there as far as you want, at your chosen speed. Dual booting and virtual machines will allow you to try experiments at little cost. But if you're also GSD, you want to be able to completely ignore your distro whenever you want.

On the most recent TechStars/Bloomberg startup reality show, a couple of investors tongue in cheek talked about investing in the career earnings of one of the entrepreneurs whom they thought had a lot of promise. Although the investors probably weren't too serious about this point, I don't think its a bad idea. If Gowalla investors had struck such a deal with the founders of Gowalla then of course they'd be entitled to some of the stock grants that Facebook offered. But they didn't. They invested in the company which failed, so they get nada.

And I give absolutely no credence to the argument that the investors funds boosted the profile of Gowalla founders so they wouldn't have gotten great deals from Facebook if it weren't for their investment. If that's the case, then limited partners should be entitled to a share of the profits from a VC's second fund if the first one goes bust. Because, you know, it was the limited partners' money that gave you a name in the VC community in the first place. Of course, no one takes such an argument seriously in the finance community, and neither should you entrepreneurs.
JVM Host - Grails - development and hosting of simple database application
Grails is a very popular Groovy/Java framework amongst Java developers worldwide. We, at JVM Host can see increasing interest in Grails hosting too. In this tutorial we will show you how you can build and host a simple database driven Grails project with our Tomcat Plus 128MB heap
package. As this is a tiny project we will develop it directly on JVM Host Java hosting server. You will surely prefer to develop your advanced projects locally using an IDE like Eclipse. After you order Tomcat Plus package and receive account details you are almost ready to go with building your first application. 128 MB of heap memory provided with the package is enough for many applications as we as a Grails host can see, yet you can upgrade heap memory whenever you need. Login to cPanel and JVMCP panels to familiarize as you will need them later...

After using PayPal on a number of projects over the years (both successfully and painfully unsuccessfully) I've come to the conclusion that PayPal is fine if what you're doing is completely standard.

Once you start doing something that could be interpreted as even slightly non-standard then it's more trouble than it's worth and the odds are that PayPal aren't going to play ball.
What Merkel is doing, and very good at that, is making sure that now, now that other countries are required to play ball, force fiscal discipline on those countries who think it's not necessary. If Merkel were to support e.g. Euro bonds without at the same time making sure there is a binding mechanisms to keep countries in check in the future, then the countries in the South would in effect be bailed out by the Northern ones and they'd continue as they've always done (because of political pressures from the voters) and we'd be back where we are now in 10 or 15 years. Merkel is using the leverage she has now to ensure that there will be accountability and binding fiscal targets for Member States.

She's certainly not taking the easy route, but it's the right route nonetheless.

Fed (Federal Reserve) and Mac (Macintosh) are not acronyms, just abbreviations. Perl is an acronym though. That's not to say that it should be PERL - over the years, 'Perl' has become a word of itself, but the reason it's not is different from the other examples you quote, so as a series they don't make sense.

I got this message after zooming out tan(x) a ways:

- Too many points on the graph that might not represent the function value currently due to high volatility"

It looks like can actually detect when their graphing algo starts to break down.
Tips for Using the At Sign in Twitter
And I would add that their fraud methods don't work either. My account was emptied in several fraud transactions and for the number of transaction and the amount you could see very clear that they were guessing my paypal balance. For example they started with $100 transations until they got insufficient balance error and then tried with $20, at the end they made 7 transactions of $1.

For paypal those were legitimate payments, even when they were made from a different country, which they could check but were too lazy to try. At the end they accepted that there were a fraud, but do you know how much they refund? 5 of the 7 transactions of $1.
I'm buying this even though I've no way to play blurays.

Not that rich. The music industry is very small by gross profits. It's mentioned often here that Apple, Goog, and Microsoft have enough cash hand to each buy a majority of it.
Who said people were happy about it? I think there's a lot of anger at banks at the moment for perceived corruption. But there's a huge gap between voters caring and measures that are actually effective being put in place with lots of lobbying in between (and I have no idea what measures would be effective; and many people that do probably are also in a position to get a cushie job helping to avoid or lobby against those measures at a bank).
I realize that you like to look only at my statements regarding sales tax, but these people were literally selling the promise of shipping an undisclosed good and a sweaty wad of cash to a random third party for an arbitrarily large sum of "donated" money as an unlicensed charity.

Remember: this money they were using for these purposes is actually /not/ their money, nor is it PayPal's: you don't really own money transferred over credit or ACH for six months, which is the window of time during which the money can be nearly unilaterally taken back.

This is a high risk transaction class, and if they had a normal merchant account they would have been required to do all kinds of paperwork verification, accept super-high fees, and pay massive retainers, and in the end likely have a hold enforced on their money anyway until they were considered a good credit risk (and we really are talking "credit risk" here: PayPal is loaning people money until such point as it clears).

Claiming that PayPal should not be looking into these things is about as silly as claiming that you shouldn't be denied a post-pay phone contract just because you don't ever pay your electric bill: this company is exactly as much of a risk (in dollars) to PayPal as PayPal is to this company.
It is astonishing that so many people don't think so.

Techcruch think Facebook making an acquisition hire for a couple of guys is more interesting that a founder selling out a company for $3 and a bit billion.

The Great Big-Data Scare of 2012
As someone who fasts for a full month of the year, I can chime in. It is true that you probably shouldn't do it for the weight loss alone, as you tend to compensate, or over-compensate, once fasting is broken.

That said there are many other benefits, as acknowledged by the author. Most people feel a heightened sense of awareness and clarity during fasting (the opposite of the lazy feeling after a meal). There is a reason most spiritual traditions include an element of fasting. Besides this there is a range of proven health benefits (Wikipedia cites reduced risk of cancer, cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, insulin resistance, immune disorders, slowing of the aging process, and the potential to increase maximum life span).

Just like exercising, it is 'unpleasant' for the mind to be forced into, but feels 'right' once you get it done and you actually grow fond of it in spite of the hardship.
I'm not saying this is right or wrong.. but there is something worth pointing out.

Technically speaking Download.com is not modifying the original EXE file as some people alleged but using an 'download manager' to intermediate the download of the file.

The bundled 'malware' comes inside this intermediary application and does not touch the original installer other than downloading it to the disk.
That seems to be true only of certain URLs. For instance, if it's all one long, encoded string follow by _a or _s then changing a or s to n produces the full-size image. However some thumbnails aren't formatted in this way and as far as I know can't be (easily) resized to full. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.

Edit: it appears this same char is available in both URI formats I was referring to, so yes, full-size images are exposed.

The Effects of Alcohol Use on Creative Problem Solving
Fasting has real and proven health benefits. I have heard physicians state that it is the single most benficial thing you can do for your health. From Wikipedia:

Research suggests there are major health benefits to caloric restriction. Benefits include reduced risks of cancer, cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, insulin resistance, immune disorders, and more generally, the slowing of the aging process, and the potential to increase maximum life span.[3] According to Dr. Mark P. Mattson, chief of the laboratory of neurosciences at the US National Institute on Aging, fasting every other day (intermittent fasting) shows beneficial effects in mice as strong as those of caloric-restriction diets,[4] and a small study conducted on humans at the University of Illinois indicates the same results [5] According to the US National Academy of Sciences, other health benefits include stress resistance, increased insulin sensitivity, reduced morbidity, and increased life span.
