from what I can tell they are the same event.

I had the same problem with nhl gamecenter. I was more than happy to spend $150 / year to watch games, but since i live in Cleveland, most east coast games are in market. (Pittsburgh, Detroit, NY, Buffalo), resulting in me canceling the service. At least the upside is that the NHL streams the radio broadcasts for free so i can listen. as in all sport the radio announcers are better too.

I cant ever listen to Lola or Girls Just Want to Have Fun with out hearing the Weird Al versions in my head.

Its hard to write non-buggy code in any language. ill admit it is easier to mess up alot of stuff in c++, but bug free code is not often seen anywhere. A team must make bug free code a priority and devote alot of time to achieving that goal. Even then it might not be possible to write truly bug free code.

Because they run in a browser that frames your experience differently over different platforms. most apps take up the whole screen and the users is forced into an experience that is 100% under the designers control.

A $500,000 on gaming consoles is a small price to pay to show our appreciation to our troops.

Always think of this comic when i hear the word captcha now.

Does 30 billion seem small to anyone else? I assume that number is not normalized for inflation for each investment.

I believe that these projects use molten salt to store energy and produce power through most of the night as well. I could be wrong, just what i remember from similar stories in the past.

...we should wait for the sequel then ?

I've always thought something like this(link below) was a good way to keep students engaged, make it fun, and give students a better idea of what programming was really about. The programming is OO so most of the hard work is done by the environment, students just get a simple list of methods to use. And you could have a giant tank robot battle to the death at the end of the semester. was always told it was too complicated for new programmers.

ps. i have no affiliation with the project other than using it in high school. Just thought it was always a great idea and underutilized tool.

Just another case where someone gets mad when someone else did something they didn't like. Happens in politics, happens in business, happens in every police force around the globe. Good thing we have overly vague sections of law that we can use to arrest anyone with.

don't forget to let users upload the locations of new lemonade stands from the client. Wouldn't want anyone to miss out on such a tasty beverage.

Reminds me of some of my code under source control. Since any committed code increments the version number i have versions in the thousands. not all releasable however.

Maybe we should be labeling software based off the current version, since software like chrome is automatically upgraded anyway. for instance if you are one version from the current you browser will say chrome -1. the current would just be chrome without a version number. it would give a social incentive to upgrade, and show how far you are behind.
