    Yes, all carbs count as carbs. You just subtract the fiber from the amount of carbs to get your "net carb" amount.

    The only thing you really need to farm is X-Def. Some heroes just plain suck for cosmics, even when geared decently. And yes, some cosmics are much easier than others. With the Odin's Palace cosmic being about 20x harder than any other cosmic out there because all the trash in there can pretty...

    Pan'Theon: Rise' of th'e Fal'Len - #1 Thread in MMO

    I'm not sure this really surprises anyone even with the "WTF how did they spend that much money in a month" posts. Brad honestly still believes he knows how to run a company and is a capable CEO. He lives in a world as far removed from reality as the games he is trying to make. They should cast...

    And Firestar is way better in both those situations. She does more damage, has better abilities and stays alive longer because she's ranged. Though none of em stay alive that great. The team ups pretty much suck. This game is really fun because you can always play a new hero, there are so many...

    Well if you're just gonna leave em on passive pick whoever has the best passives. Magik's damage passives suck if you're ranged though because the AE drops on top of your character and the goddamn pets don't avoid collision detection. They can easily trap you.

    The melee team-ups are pretty crappy right now. I'd save up and get Firestar or Falcon.

    Hachima is right about CLR via C#. One of the best books you could possibly read if you get into C#. And Hachima, if you were in a program at a university like MIT then yes, you are the .01%. How many developers do you think there are worldwide? How many of them were in a program like that?

    I'm gonna try to set up some split cosmic farming runs tonight to take advantage of the higher chance for rings to drop. Basically full group of 5, each person clears the bounty of their own cosmic, rest of group joins them for boss and everyone gets the chests, makes farming cosmic rings way...

    Spring 2014 Anime Thread

    Did anyone watch the first season of Mushi-shi? I watched the OVA last night (which I guess is for season 2?) on Crunchyroll and enjoyed it, but it seemed like the beginning of the story, not a continuation. Should I watch season 1 first or just start watching season 2?

    Maybe I'm not conveying the point correctly. I do not need to look at people who have no experience with the technology my company uses because there is more than enough talent that does work with that technology out there. Training junior developers is part of the job, teaching them the entire...

    I sense you don't know much about .NET if you think some C developer is going to solve performance bottlenecks in the .NET framework because of his background in memory management. If you need to fuck with the way the CLR handles all that shit (because it's a managed language) on its own you're...

    This makes more sense, though it still sounds like you value a degree too much. I wouldn't expect anyone to just jump into the job application pool as a self trained developer with no real world experience and I wouldn't recommend nate does that. But it looks like you agree a degree is not...

    Your problem is you think a technical interview is nothing but stupid syntax questions like "how do you properly construct a loop". Who would ask such a question? That question is completely worthless. "What kind of a loop? a while loop? a foreach loop? a for loop?". "Show me proper use of a...

    No you do not, he is an anomaly as far as I'm concerned.

    The degree is to make the HR dept. at whatever company is hiring you feel warm and fuzzy inside. Most development shops couldn't care less about your degree. They want to tech you out and see what you know. At my last job of the 3 development team managers one had a degree in marine biology, one...

    The funny thing about software development is you definitely do not need a formal education on the subject. Most universities teach dated, legacy technology and a vast amount of the things you do will never be used in the real world. Ever. What takes an entire semester in a classroom setting can...

    There is no reason to learn a scripting language before you jump into OOP.

    Mizuno has always made nice clubs but the prices have come up a bit recently. Though the new Callaway iron sets are ridiculously overpriced. I'm in CT, there was snow on the ground.

    Bodyguard and Retaliatory Webbing and the 5% chance to deal high damage every 30 seconds skills are pretty good. Everything else is kind of underwhelming. They want us to pay 600 splinters for these? That's ridiculous.
