How do you know that person isn't taking $1,000,000 vacations and spending the $10,000 while ON vacation?
In other words, someone with an extra $10,000 to spend on games probably actually has an extra $1,000,000 to spend on other stuff as well.
There are physical reasons why it can be pleasurable for many men (see link at end). The prostrate being the biggest one. [...]
Lying stretched out on the ground with one's face downward is pleasurable?
Back in the 1990s, I helped run one of several mirrors for CDDB. When the company suddenly took a proprietary turn, they shut all of those down. They sent message promising to give some sort of reward to everyone who had run a mirror, but nothing ever showed up.
I guess a couple of million would probably make it up....
In seriousness, this was an early wakeup call about contributing to "community" projects without clear licenses for submitted data. And here I will put in a plug for FreeDB, which forked the original and continues to run it in an open way, with submissions under the GPL. http://www.freedb.org/en/about...

To be fair, standard deviation has a meaning for any distribution, [...]
False.
Cauchy distributions have neither a mean nor a standard deviation.
This makes it sound like a long-lost native civilization was discovered. Not the case. Early European settlers in New England devastated the native landscape and, basically, turned it into English sheep farms. As expansion pushed westward and agriculture shifted with it, that economy changed and native (and some invasive) species have reclaimed the landscape.
Still very cool and interesting, but a different story from what you might expect from reading the lede.
An 11 inch device is no less portable than a 10 inch device. And they're making plenty of those in the form of Chromebooks, capable of running complete OSes (I know, I have one). Hell, the very first comment in your link even points that out.
Actually, it's 10% less portable.
The website where the story article is hosted is pretty terrible. It's apparently based entirely on some sort of JavaScript hacks [...]
Maybe they were... wait for it... Hacking the Concept of JavaScript?

I feel your pain. I wish Fedora would go to a 9 month update schedule, it would make me happier.
We probably won't go to 9 months permanently, but it's very likely that Fedora 20 -> F21 will be along those lines as we retool for Fedora.next ideas, and work on improving qa and releng automation.
Sorry, but lack of familiarity with the basic constructs of your language of choice is definitely a bad indicator. Being a good programmer means more than just knowing how to do the things you've already done. You need to know your language, platform, etc., so that you can spot issues or create solutions. Fizz Buzz is only a stupid test because it is so easy. It sounds like you think the "ability to research and find solutions" means that you can find a solution to your problem to copy+paste off of Stack Overflow.
I heartily agree. There's no excuse for not knowing what mod is, even if you've never happened to need it in a program. I wouldn't hire someone who didn't know what mod is or couldn't explain it to someone else.
Guys, get a room!!
Who's the doofus that modded this "offtopic"? It should be modded "funny."
