WVU has a lot of good first halves. Honestly, I don't know of any other two-loss team in the country with as "high-quality" losses as WVU. #2 Alabama by ten (in a de facto away game in Atlanta) and #4 Oklahoma by twelve at home. They managed to beat a better-than-advertised Maryland team in...

Thought spared, as I sit here listening to "Return of the Giant Hogweed."

I guess Peter Gabriel has been relegated to apocrypha now?

So, I'm moving to Michigan in a week. The house is packed (including my desktop computer WHAT WAS I THINKING) and on the moving truck. My wife, three kids, and I are living with her parents and sister for the time being while I get through these last four days of work in a job I hate. I like my...

#1 is the winner. Yay Medina. http://medinagazette.northcoastnow.com/2014/06/21/open-carry-gun-walk-medinas-business-district-goes-without-hitch/ I'm all for open carry, but if you feel a need to show off while doing it, maybe you should think about whether you have the emotional maturity to...

Got a new job! It comes with a 30% raise (40% once I pass my board certification and after the 90-day probationary period), much better benefits, and regular hours. But the real win is no more travel. I get to be home every night! I get to see my kids grow up! I get to stop spending 70 nights a...

Cynic: the waiter is slacking off. AGAIN.

Even though I'm mostly a lurker, count me in too. But only with the stipulation that should I win, the money goes back into the operating fund that keeps this place running. I don't have any use for a PS4, but I have plenty of use for procrastination and distraction.

Another practical concern I just thought of: would you want to eat a cake that someone was forced to make for you against their will? Let alone subject your wedding guests to it. This isn't forbidding a discriminatory action or policy. This is the government actively forcing a business to...

Previously, Netflix delivered their data to Akamai (and/or other third-party CDNs), who then delivered it to Comcast. These CDNs take data from content providers, consolidate it into one big pipe, and then distribute it to the ISPs, who deliver it to the customers' homes. In this arrangement...

Okay? Decidedly not. Legal? Yes, unless the baker is providing a basic and necessary service to the community, and there are no other alternatives. Can there be a common carrier for pastry? The waters between "legal" and "good" are getting muddied here. Legal is something that is defined in...

This is not an issue of net neutrality. http://blog.streamingmedia.com/2014/02/media-botching-coverage-netflix-comcast-deal-getting-basics-wrong.html TL;DR: Netflix has decided to bypass third-party content distribution networks like Akamai and Level 3 in favor of putting their servers...

/unlurk Does anyone else see a problem in that rulings like this, regardless of intent, ultimately seek not to address an action, but a motivation? If these bakers had simply said "no" instead of "no, and here's why" there would be no story, no lawsuits, no legislation, and no uproar. And yet...

Most cloud backup and storage services have versioning, I think. I know both dropbox and carbonite do. Sent from my SPH-L900 using Tapatalk

I'm redesigning our company website right now, even though I have no design experience, and I'm using Squarespace for both the hosting and design. It seems really easy to me, but I'm just modifying one of their templates (they have what seems like thousands to choose from). I don't know any of...

It is a private enterprise, but it can access the exchanges for pricing purposes, and can act as the purchasing agent if you want (at least, as I understand it). They are upfront about the fact that the numbers you get are just estimates, and may vary. I thought it was helpful, if only from an...

I was able to get quotes, including an assumed subsidy, from ehealthinsurance.com. I did have to put in financial information, but I did not have to enter any personally identifiable information or create an account. I found it to be more expensive than what my employer offers for less coverage...

I think he was saying that lots of people think Greece/France style spending is the answer, and he questions their sanity for thinking so.

Since it's pictures of documents, you might try running the file through OCR first. That should reduce the file size significantly. Somebody at the university should have a full copy of Acrobat that can do the job. If not, I can give you an upload link to my Dropbox and I'll do it. I have a...
