    Well listen, when the flex-fuel Ford Focus uses the same exact parts as a non flex-fuel labelled Ford Focus what kind of damage could occur? What I am saying is that in the last 15 years these auto manufacturers in the US are building all of their cars to safely run on Flex Fuel (unless you're...

    The Documentary Thread

    I don't know anything about motorcycles or Canada's auto market. But in the US the manufactured E-85 "flex-fuel" vehicles that have the special yellow gas cap and say "Flex-Fuel" on the car itself are made from the same exact parts as the "non flex-fuel" vehicles. There is not a single...

    Company Raises It's Minimum Wage to $70,000 and All Hell Breaks Loose

    There really has only been one other time in the history of minimum wage where it was raised close to 100%. 1950. And like he pointed out there was only a small short-term correction. Link to the history of minimum wage in US: Minimum Wage - Wage and Hour Division (WHD) - U.S. Department...

    Company Raises It's Minimum Wage to $70,000 and All Hell Breaks Loose

    The whole buying online thing already happens and has been happening for a very long time. I agree it's problematic but raising the minimum wage is necessary. We've been protecting corporations for far too long at the expense of individual citizens and we need legislators who won't allow that to...

    Easiest Microsoft Exam.

    No reason to get the certification if you don't plan on going into that field, and that field is "meh" as far as development goes. I don't feel the cert would be worth much and definitely not worth the ~$5k price tag or whatever it is these days for a Microsoft cert.

    Company Raises It's Minimum Wage to $70,000 and All Hell Breaks Loose

    I think this is vastly overblown. I don't think it's nearly as dramatic as suddenly hundreds of thousands of people being completely out of jobs because nobody can afford to pay their workers that much or people suddenly deciding to give up their current jobs at $15/hr to go work at a fast food...

    Company Raises It's Minimum Wage to $70,000 and All Hell Breaks Loose

    I agree $15 may be a little high, but $15/hr is still only $30k a year so let's not pretend it's an amazing living. If a company can't afford to pay its workers a wage that they can actually live on then that company has no right being in business in the first place. I'll lose no tears or sleep...

    Easiest Microsoft Exam.

    Is there a reason you want to get into web development? It's easily the most saturated development market with a much lower pay scale than other types of development as a result. It's not a bad way to start and it's how many programmers do start but I personally think going the certification...

    To add, the documentary isn't just about alcohol fuels vs gasoline. It talks about all kinds of alternative fuels including electricity and natural gas. It's definitely worth a watch.

    You guys should both just watch the documentary. Seriously, the Model T could run on Gasoline, Kerosene or Ethanol. No change in equipment or different engines required, any model T could run on any of those three fuels. Ford Model T - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia(Just CTRL+F and type...

    IT/Software career thread: Invert binary trees for dollars.

    Does Java not have static methods? In C# File.Exists is a static method meaning you don't instantiate any objects you just call File.Exists(file1) where file1 is just the path of the file. This will never throw a null exception, it will just return false if the file does not exist.

    And every one of your wife's window licking co-workers says the same about her, I assure you. Which is my biggest problem with pretending to care about work related issues, I know it's mostly nonsense.

    Just watched Pump on netflix. Pretty eye opening. I had no idea you can turn pretty much every car sold in America in the past ~15 years into a flex fuel car just by "hacking" the computer and changing a few settings. I also had no idea that Henry Ford's original cars were all flex fuel and...

    Very true. I've never been a big coffee drinker but I do drink it black.

    I agree that there is a huge inequality in output from developers, but I'm not sure how that ties in to what I was saying.

    You're talking to people who have been hiring managers in the development field for multiple years as if you know more than us and are awakening us to issues with candidates. What you don't realize is you are the "God Complex" developer we all hate and don't want to hire. Or at least you're...

    Penfed doesn't resell loans, they service them for the life of loan. They are a credit union not a mortgage broker. They do indeed do a 0 closing cost loan special from time to time that is actually legit and has the lowest rates you'll find, but they only do it on ARMs

    Easiest way to get a pet is to prestige and then buy one from Clea based on your prestige level. Only problem with those pets is you have to be that prestige color to use them on a specific hero. Another easy pet to get is the doop pet you can buy with cosmic worldstones but you do need to...

    They played a ton of Reagan soundbites during the first season and focused heavily on anti-communism. I'm thinking they do Nicaragua and the contras who were funded by the drug trade and the US govt turning a blind eye on it which led to the huge crack trade in LA. Maybe we'll even see Rick Ross...
