    I paid to transfer mine because half the people that call us are idiots and can't be bothered to even program a different number into their phones.

    Correct, but then you won't get wifi coverage via hangouts.

    Just to point out, since Fi invites seems scarce ATM, you can get wifi coverage via Google Voice already. Just pay $20(once) to transfer your cell number to google voice. Downside is that it will use your data connection when receiving a call on your cell network, and that still kinda sucks...

    Well, yeah, that's pretty dumb. Not checking that your query failed to find anything, or you memory allocation failed, or http request returned a None...I mean, how has he not been burned by this already? Should just be habit at this point.

    Ah, you have a decent idea of how the software is being used and what information may be passed to it. Those types of situations, skipping null checks might be ok.

    Can you explain his view on that a bit more? I work for a company that make static analysis software and missing null checks is one of the things it warns about. It's such a headache to track down later on and such a small cost performance wise, why not do it?

    People can be irrational sometimes, even when they might (subconsciously)realize that they are. My current job pays as well as my previous job. It's a better work environment. I'm salary but strictly required to work 40 hours a week. I've only been here a little over a year but already got a...

    I was hoping for some sort of deck restrictions. Amount of legendaries, epics, rares, whatever. What's the point of this type of brawl if you don't have ladder rankings at least somewhat matching up similar quality players and collections?

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    Probably good for weapons and armor because they are relatively balanced. Might even fix certain weapons having a socket affix by default. Extra jewelry slot seems OP though, especially with F+R now.

    Asking for proof is a great way to show someone they shouldn't work for you. That said, I've never been asked for proof. Maybe the guy was making outlandish amounts of money.

    Arena gonna arena. Got my first 11 and 12 win run in one run today. I'm not sure I could have been convinced beforehand that this deck would have done so well. The curve is so weak in the 3+ department. I actually think the key is that I only faced 5 mages in the 13 games. That's not a...

    The syntax for tcl is pretty bad. Maybe it was the specific codebase I was using. I could make python pretty unreadable if I tried hard enough.

    Could be worse, you could be stuck working with tcl. One my previous jobs at IBM, some of their back-end manufacturing was using that to run the tools. Horrid horrid language, harder to read than perl regex in chinese. Got me thinking though, will people 20 - 30 years from now bemoan...

    Save scumming is boring. And it completely hides how annoying making a mistake in this game can be. You don't learn to play better, you learn to hit F5.

    I want to say I share that line of thinking, Tenks, but I don't know at what approximate amount of salary that I would start favoring other things(free time, type of work, location, commute, etc) over money. We save about 10% of post-tax income per month. More money, a decent chunk of more...

    It's definitely not permanent. That's when the PTR ends and you have to start paying gold/dollars for entry. Rewards might be improved too.

    Please don't do that. Someone who still works at my job thought it was a good idea to make a bunch of test cases with pokemon and mlp variable names. Some of the test cases have "mooseknuckle' and 'camel_toe' for file names. I'm not going to fix them and put my name on that shit in svn...

    I think I'd be ok with an open office if my coworker didn't talk so much. "Hmmm, that's weird" Nope, sorry, not engaging you. I don't have 15 minutes to waste away listening to stories you've already told me.

    I would strongly recommend playing arena on all three realms(Americas, Asia, Europe) and picking classes that correspond with dailies and aren't the worst currently(hunter, warrior, priest). Only play if you have a daily that your arena run can complete, otherwise move to another realm. It's...

    Routers & Other Networking Stuff

    Beamforming is basically using multiple antennae and delaying the same signal through each at specific times such that they combine to a stronger signal in some areas and cancel out in others. You get a strong "lobe" where you're aiming and smaller orthogonal side lobes. Note, this is only on...

    I'm not sure on that. I _thought_ 2.4GHz has better penetration. 5GHz was chosen because everything is on 2.4GHz, reducing its effectiveness. But, I could be wrong. I'm quite happy with my coverage on the 951G. My house was built in the 70s with aluminum siding, so I essentially live in a...

    Using this table: IEEE 802.11n-2009 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia I think that means this router does a max of MCS7, which is 150Mbps. I know it can do 2x2 MIMO, why doesn't it go up to MCS15? I keep thinking there's gotta be a reason this company doesn't have any 802.11ac products...

    Battery charging and discharging is logarithmic. Well, actually it's essentially 1/RC, but the graph shapes are very similar and I'm blanking on the adjective for 1/RC.
