Yeah, what's up with the picture? When I saw it I thought the article was going to be about Native Americans, instead it was about Indians. I know in America...

I go for quality over speed myself too. My motto is code will be written once and used many times thereafter, will a few extra hours/days/weeks/etc of development really impair...

37.5 hours per week for me at a state university job. My boss is really flexible with time too so I come in late and take longer lunches and just...

I think it's awesome you would do this, Steve! I work in software development so I've encountered the need for this, but in its own way. I've learned it is...

I thought Medicaid was for poor people. I don't know about Rex's finances but from hearing him talk about being able to work 40 hours a week and be comfortable, I...

I don't think this is a real device, but something that could take cookie crumbs or chip crumbs and make a whole chip or cookie out of it! The Fusion...

"In practice, does the data in the set correspond to an organisation's departmental structure, rather than individual relationships"

This is just a different model for storing hierarchical data in SQL tables. The...

Mike's example is actually a nested set model, not an adjecent list model per the article. Basically instead of having a "boss" column in your employee table that's the same...

I don't think supply is as much of a problem now as it used to be in the past. I looked in 2004 and the wait time was crazy, in...
