iOS 7 - failure in moving away from all skeuomorphism. And I *like* Apple products. Steve would not have endorsed the changes... He was about beauty as well as function - that's why we have the graphic fonts of today. No - I am not a Steve "fan" just stating a fact. I run Linux and Android and HP WebOS - and when needed - Windoze too.

I have a basement office. I need artificial light in it. I have some ceiling mounted fluorescents, but I don't use them most of the time because of the glare.

Instead I have 3 freestanding standard lamps that are 3-way 50,100,150. I typically run them all at 150 all the time.

What LED bulb would work in those and not cost an arm and several legs? I don't want any more CFLs around. So, I'm open to LED alternatives. I have an LED already in an outside spot - just fine - but too "blue" (even if it's meant to be white / yellow).

Would appreciate any helpful suggestions here!

"Are you sure?" :-)

Also - the site will have impenetrable ribbon bars at the top with icons that you will have no idea about

Or, we could use, say, Perl and do it in an associative array like so

@years_so_far{map{'0.'.$_;}(0..8)} = ('womb') x 9;
$years_so_far{'0.a'} = 'milk';
$years_so_far{'0.f'} = 'beginning solids';

  and so on ;-) and teach fractional hex while we're at it.

But, since you're "1" 3 months after birth though, that's why we need fractional years ;-)

But there's an offset too ;-) They're one year old at three months after birth. That's why we need fractional years too :-D

Not trolling here. We were recently in a hiring process. We might have been able to use someone with your skills if they fit the profile we were looking for. Careface (or anyone else reading come to that) - PM me your resume. We filled the current open position but we may have another opportunity in the New Year. We *required* a teleworker - our whole team telecommutes and we're all in the US. We communicate on a daily basis via IM and sometimes Skype and have regular phone teleconferences too, and there are no slackers on the team; everyone is self-motivated.

I liked the idea of teaching "number lines" by height above the ground. Dig a hole it's negative. Stack blocks above it's positive. The ground is 0.

When you're born you're 9 months old. Maybe we should start with fractional years :-)

No sane programmers use the G word :-)

This is quite easy to do with Perl. A box with nothing in it has an undefined value. A box with something in it - even it's 0 or empty string has a defined value.

No I think he nailed it right there :-)

Not to mention, that self-modifying assembly code needs to know where it is right now (0-base) and how many bytes further on to write the new instructions. The pointer arithmetic there has nothing to do with arrays but the exact same principle applies.

They're really *7* years old. We started counting at 0 remember ;-)

Looks like I'll be locked out of most web sites that use Captcha if they start using these. I can't make head or tail of them either!
