Ooh, yeah, that's nicer :) By the way, I love the editor. The slider bars that change color are amazing and the way it saves the colors you've used is convenient.
I took a nutrition class through an accredited correspondence school for a science credit. If you look around you should be able to find a school near you teaching the classes. Most of them suggest or require high school biology and chemistry and give you a nice background without marketing bs tossed in.
{ } have always been chicken lips to me. Everyone I've said that too has understood and although I may have gotten some strange looks, I've never been corrected.
Non smelly? Have you ever been in a croc store? I went in with a few girls and I had to leave. The overwhelming stench of plastic fumes was making me gag. I felt physically ill just being in their store. I've worked on drilling rigs that smelled less chemically.
Hopefully it's less horrid than your hockey stuff is right now and is a positive trade ;)
Few things smell worse and when you are in a small dressing room with a team of guys and their equipment. Yikes!
Actually some googling after that comment led me to this: http://www.thestar.com/Business/article/429427. These guys claim that the croc-style equipment only masks the problem while their stuff kills the odour-causing bacteria. If the next front in the war between equipment makers is on anti-stink technology I am all for it!
I don't even see the code anymore; just blonde, brunette, redhead...
(In all seriousness, the karma number quantifies the approbation of your peers; and a good reputation is highly valued by most people--and rationally so, I'd say).
For me it's not about finding the information by typing in a URL. It's more about scanning and having a clue what I'm going to see by the url I'm clicking on. A giant random number really has no meaning or value in this context.
HN isn't a reference work like Wikipedia or the MSDN Knowledge Base, so it's less important here.
But the real reason that Microsoft's URLs suck is that the MSDN Knowledge Base is an older product than Google's, built back when the web was new and people didn't realize that their URLs sucked. And one thing that I respect Microsoft for is actually caring about reverse compatibility.
(Sidenote: This is why you should think about your URLs. They are how your website will be presented to the world.)
I'm much the same way. For me it was the classes I didn't like that I did poorly in, like marketing. The less interesting it is going in the worse I do.
So, it's settled, then? Entrepreneurs are smart people with ADD who learn to channel their energies toward interesting enough ends? Seems like I've been hearing pretty much that message for most of my life.
After all, if you excel at working within established institutions throughout your life, you'll probably continue to follow whatever career path is expected of you as an adult.
A hash is a one way thing so you can't reverse it. However, if they have that much access it'd be trivial to just change your script to dump the username/password combo into a plain text file whenever the login succeeds.
I spent a summer working in a kitchen without AC. The trick I learned to survive it is to get two dish towels and soak them in water. Wring them mostly out and put them in the freezer. Wait a few hours and take one out and wrap it around your neck. The blood flowing through your neck cools down and cools your entire body very well. The reason for two is to alternate throughout the day.
