Shit, my world for mod points. Amen brother

I was already making the switch to Lightroom from Aperture. Apple's last update of Aperture really started messing it up, so I saw the writing on the wall, and will fully move my library to Lightroom.

It is a shame, because when I first started using Aperture, it was awesome, about 1/2 the price of Lightroom at the time, and it was lightyears ahead of iPhoto.

With my MacBook Air, I thought I would just use iPhoto, but gah, after not using it for 6 years or so, it still sucks tool.

Crap, and I without mod points. Huge +5 sir...

Crap, what a day to not have mod points. +1000 on this.

It is not gambling when the top HFT companies can boast to never having a down day in 5 years. They are parasites, steeling pennies, billions of times.

I live there too, and it isn't that bad.

Exactly. If you were going to locate there, why not go to Phoenix where your dollar goes a LOT further, and income taxes are a fraction of the California rate.

As a physics degree holder, I would counter that. Yes, we are really good at algorithms, and the like, but without a lot of re-education we make terrible developers (I am not one, but I work with a dev group that has 3 PhD Physicists). They write cool code, but are fuck-all at doing error checking, bounds checking, and other mundane things that are important in production environments. Physicists would rather spend hours grooming their input data than have their code do some reality checks.

Yeah, great. It is just that the people I know who are Yahoo mail users aren't smart enough to do 2 factor authentication.

I was being facetious, I do know the difference. But it has to be more than poor password discipline that causes Yahoo mail accounts to be so susceptible.

Seems like 2 or 3 contacts a week with Yahoo mail accounts gets hacked every week. I really wish Yahoo would get their shit together too.

This. I am in the hell of being the replacement, and my boss won't do more than dribble the responsibilities out. 2+ years, and I still am grasping for more, yet he is drowning, and won't give up any control.

I am not a heavy comic reader, but I always went to the Comixology site to buy rather than the in app purchase. I figured that Comixology deserved the full price, and not the 30% skim that Apple took.

I know what you are trying to do, but I would like to shout out for economics. I have a degree in Physics, a minor in Maths (two classes more and I would have had a double major). While I was working on my undergrad degree, I tutored someone who was working on their advanced degree in economics. They were doing nasty, non-linear partial differential equations in their models, without the formal mathematics background. I was impressed with their methods, and how they solved these equations without 4 years of preparatory mathematics courses.

The truth is a lot of degree disciplines that seem like a waste to you turn out to have their own character building assets. One of the best AFM applications scientists I have ever worked with got his degree in History. He did an internship at a small company, and not only loved playing with Atomic Force Microscopes, he actually had a talent with it. In a field dominated by physicists and chemists, he is right up there.

Well put. Wish I had mod points.
