The priest is definitely my favorite character.

Not the best pilot in the world, but I enjoyed it. Although I'd put his brain to figuring out the grand unification theory rather than solving murders.

Okay, so a friend and I picked up PS4 Diablo 3 since it was on sale recently. Haven't played it previously. Back in our teens we both obtained a "Nagelring" legendary drop. Then I started wondering why bosses were being insta-gibbed and realized it was due to the ring's lunatics exploding...

WOW, look at the size of that platform!

I don't know what is, but Katee Sackhoff really does it for me in this show. Maybe it's the ponytail and tight jeans. For whatever reason I really didn't pay much attention to her in BSG (probably overshadowed by Tricia Helfer).

I've successfully taken the Microsoft 70-480 Javascript and HTML 5 exam. I wouldn't say it's "hard" but the questions often try and trick you. If know you Javascript, HTML, and Ajax syntax then you should be able to eliminate the obviously incorrect answers. There's a 70-480 Exam Ref book...

Series was canceled by A&E at the end of it's 3rd season but was picked up by Netflix. Season 4 was released yesterday. I've only watched the first episode, but already the plot feels more exciting than past seasons.

Right, you can't call the .Exists() method on a null object.

And he looks really good for his age. He could slip back into his Starfleet uniform and I'd bet you could barely tell the difference.

No, Labor Day break.

COULDN'T care less god damn it.

Yeah, I enjoyed this season immensely. They can still go the "absolute power corrupts absolutely" angle with Barry, assuming the series is renewed. However, Tuesday's finale can act as a decent close to the series.

"Hey man! What the hell? That was my daughter's pediatrician!" I liked how they felt the need to "disguise" themselves as aliens when, in fact, they looked completely different from the world's inhabitants. 9/10 episode.

Press release states: Also, Marg Helgenberger has a bangin' body for a 57 year old.

<wrong thread>

I realize they only show us what they want to show, but almost every time we saw the six person group they were lying around. I would say, "Hey, you four, break off in pairs and go find food. THAT IS YOUR JOB. Find food." The other two can get water, maintain the fire, etc. it just seemed...

Sounds like they will wrap things up. Terrible show, but it evolved into a love-to-hate it type of thing.

And another thing is I inherently don't trust the president just because of the actor. He's played a sleaze ball in Mad Men and Homeland. Don't trust him here either.

Integration and automated tests, sure. Butunittests?

Have any of you guys heard of testers writing unit tests for the developer? There's a team here that does this and it just feels wrong to me. It's as if the developer is too lazy to write tests so he's getting someone else to do it.

WTF. This last episode was fucking stupid. "Oh noes the gas leak is in the main line!" Cut to an aerial view of the oil rig -> explosion -> commercial break -> everyone back on the Nathan James. And fucking killed my girl too. God damn it.

Okay, let me preface this by saying this is NOT an amazing series or anything. But god damn it can be funny as hell -- not sure if it's intentional or not. I really haven't determined if the series is taking itself seriously or not. Although, after last night's rat episode I'm thinking it's...

Get canceled, probably. I hope they can wrap things up and resist the urge to do a full on cliffhanger. It's not a great show, but I've been enjoying it. Which brings to mind another show which I do not think a thread exists for...

Well, years ago, our (now) parent company bought two little companies that produced the same type of product. The application I had been working one had the smallest user base (and was mostly oUS) but had to be kept alive due to existing contracts. Contracts have now expired for US clients and...

Well, my wish came true. The company sold our ASP.NET WebForms application to some unsuspecting company. This came with a large reduction of the engineering staff since we're no longer developing two products. Fortunately I wasn't one of the devs let go. Now, the other product is actually...

Sounds like the law offices of Pearson Specter Litt.

Is she hot?

Right, but it's important to know which tool to use for the job. For example, a fellow developer was using a List and, before adding to it, would iterate over it to make sure the object wasn't already added. It didn't occur to him, or he wasn't aware of, to simply use a HashSet.

I've had the shittiest luck with realtors. To date I've communicated with four. Three of them have acted totally disinterested, the third was nice but was driving 80 miles (one way) for viewings. I couldn't in good conscience keep having her drive those insane distances. This latest one was...

OMG, can you not create a custom background color anymore? I usually do no wallpaper and set the background color to my preferred set of RGB values. I no longer see this option!

This has probably been theorized elsewhere, butwhat ifElliot is an A.I. and Slater is the creator (thus "father") - this would explain the apparent lack of aging and other "spooky" interactions with the character. Also, Elliott said something curious a couple episodes back - something about...

At my current company I started out in operations answering tech support calls. During that time I learned .NET and C#, read tons of books, wrote various tools, and proved I could code. I was promoted to software engineer a couple years ago. No degree (although I am working on one) and I feel...

That's actually very interesting. I already know how to code but, as I've mentioned before on this forum, would love to use some of the newer web technologies. I wouldn't mind donating my time for one of these in order to practice the cool new stuff.

I wish we could. We have tons of pages that have scripts that use old IE quirks. We'd literally have to rewrite dozens of pages from scratch. I'msodone with WebForms after having worked with ASP.NET MVC and NodeJS Express and it's cool template engines. We roughly estimate how much time...

Yeah, I can see that point of view. We would have been better off if they just froze the framework at .NET 2.0. That would have ensured we keep using the old crap. The application is already unusable on any non-I.E. browser and any version prior to 10.

How's the population? I too played at the start (even joined the guild that formed on this board) but the grind got to me. I thought the environment graphics were awesome and even enjoyed the character models.

Where's a great place to live if you fucking hate people but want high speed internet?

Something else that has been bugging me lately is how other developers on my team will use the excuse "It's done like this elsewhere in the project" to justify poor coding or bad practices. Simple examples include concatenating strings (that aren't compile-time constants), catching an...

Haha what the fuck is this from?

RENEWED.
