So, hard at work on my next project. Figured out a few things and wrote out some basic stuff regarding the overall approach I'm probably going to take. Talked to the Senior Dev and we came up with a few wrinkles and identified some technical debt but nothing insurmountable and some of it's stuff...

Jeff Fisher, Jason Garrett try to keep scuffles to a minimum - NFL Nation - ESPN Massive fail on that.

Aside from a lack of real, open-world PvP objectives, SWTOR PvP is some of the best I've experienced. I sometimes wish there was more content (okay, all the time), but I can't fault what's there (except Ancient Hypergate, fuck that map) and nearly four years into this I still love doing it.

I wasn't here when it happened. Found thisrather lengthy articlethat was printed around the time they were demolishing the buildings on the land. From my skimming of the article it appears Gov. Pataki pushed throughloophole legislationwhich allowed him to sell land to the Senecas and "jump...

It's a similar plight but from different angles. These days however, there's a fair amount of NA nations doling out their own form of welfare because of those sweet sweet gambling moneys. That ain't happening in ghettos. Funny side story, the Seneca Nation up here bought some land just...

Mercs are a lot more mobile these days too. Still some turret syndrome but that's only when you're rate-limited on some procs.

STL, besides being a shithole, is a baseball town through and through. I doubt anyone would actually notice if they left.

Out of all the sports only the NBA really comes close to their divisions actually making sense. For all that the NFL doesn't give a shit about their fans, they hold to rivalries like it was the last wish of their dying grandmother. "Don't you break up Dallas and Washington or I'll pull your...

I was about to say that didn't make sense but then I realized most companions have things they say when you get into a certain area so their use is ongoing, at least in a limited fashion. For those experiencing problems in Windows 10, I foundthisyesterday. Apparently DX9 (which is what SWTOR...

49ers WYTSis amazing. Probably my favorite one so far.

Eli Manning isn't even a top-20 QB right now | ProFootballFocus.com PFF's response to this. Hilarious in context.

Bradford getting off lucky not facing the Kraken in the initial Dal v Phi encounter. Dat offensive line is... offensive. Except Peters. But he's getting up there.

The sad part is that those are the people who also desperately believe that it's okay for the wealthy to not be taxed as much because "that might be me someday".

That's actually pretty impressive on the debt front. I ended up with way more than I wanted because I waited too long to take advantage of my GI Bill and when we moved I lost the tuition reimbursement I was getting from work.

Corporations are scared shitless of Unions, and in some cases it's not an unjust fear. My wife had to attend training about unions (mostly on how to avoid having them occur) and they spun a good line about how American made goods, especially Textiles, are higher due to how much companies have to...

Marshmallow is upon us! Wonder why they went with a full version increase. Not that it really matters. They usually break a bunch of shit between flavors anyway (hi2u KitKat).

And again, I point toward bullshit employee evaluations and "unspoken limitations" on them as part of the problem. Guy I used to know worked lead QA for one of our problem releases. In the span of a year he managed to reduce rollbacks by at least half, testing time by 2/3s, did a shit-ton of...

Rotations are fine because all it really does is give people a guideline on what to do. Knowing a rotation is all well and good but the player behind the keyboard still can't just sit there and hit keys and hope to be effective. The problem ultimately comes from when that does happen, which is...

Some places already do that in some aspects. That stock job I talked about would have tracked my work through the device used to scan stuff.

I'm still extremely proud of the Pied Piper version I cobbled together. I believe this is what started the meltdown.

I'm just happy most of Dallas' draft picks ended up doing well. Can't wait for these things to count.

Right, he mandated just north of $10 to anyone employed by the Government.

That's pretty cool. Previous employer has one of those every year. Sometimes it even produced something we'd use internally. Next thing I get to work on is attempting to connect one android device to another, essentially having one act as a server. The challenge is doing that when the server...

Ebon Hawk or Harbinger tend to be the most populated. Not sure where the RR people have been hanging out.

You're probably better off starting from scratch. You haven't played two leveling expansions and enough has changed that most of the game should be relatively new to you except the basics.

Handed off my redesign project for testing earlier today. Pretty stoked about this, even though it's just an internal tool. Basically took the work that was being done in three separate internal apps and condensed it to one. I also moved in another bit of functionality that probably should have...

I'm not saying they won't, because we're still nearly a month away from the Season Kickoff, but I think it would require every single current RB penciled in to the final roster to go on IR or be out for a few weeks with injury for that to happen. At least with Hardy there was ambiguity...

You must have missed the "seasonal" part of my tale. The presence of those jobs are not going to change just because of an adjustment to minimum wage. Big retailers like Walmart, Target and other box stores like them will need those extra hands to deal with the increased sales volume and need to...

SWTOR's HeroEngine isn't the actual HeroEngine. It was Gordon trying to shave time for no real reason. They've bastardized it to hell and back. Actual HeroEngine has day/night cycles and I'm sure you know how that goes with SWTOR (non-existent).

I hope Rex keeps him and then sends him out as a captain when they face the Jets. That would be almost as epic as what Fisher did to Washington last year.

Rodgers put the verbal beat down on reporters who counted camp interceptions. Something like, "I threw 5 in the regular season, which is all that matters." He also added something to the effect of camp being the perfect time to be risky. Which leads me to believe that Cutler is definitely...

At the same time, local economics can force people into minimum wage positions if the job they are qualified for just isn't there. I was in such a situation when I first moved to WNY. Wife had her job lined up (which is why we moved) but data center and/or NOC work was slim. Literally the day I...

That sounds like something straight out of Boondocks.

I didn't consider that. They've been extremely adamant about there being no new classes and I tend to agree with that approach. They have a difficult enough time balancing mirrors at times, I'd hate to throw another wrench into the pile. I'm still waiting on the "awesome" thing they mention...

I take it back. Jets #1 pick in 2016.

I fear the day our currency becomes Zimbabwe-esque and hope it doesn't occur while I'm still here.

It was never overly complex to begin with so I'm not sure the point. Especially since set bonuses are still going to exist. I guess it would reduce design time around stuff without a set bonus. Still, an earpiece with strength surge and power is just a copy/paste/edit from being willpower surge...

I'm just glad I have the leeway to refactor the things I'm working on. Current project needed it badly, just no consistency in the design, naming conventions, etc. Made it extremely difficult to follow or debug. There was also a lot of useless shit, numerous instances of Android's Dialog class...

Chip's smoothies aren't doing a good job of keeping people healthy over there. I really hope everything just flames out, even to the point of them ending up 4th in the division. I know that means Washington wouldn't be this year's cellar dweller, but some change is good and Chip needs a reality...
