The older I get the more I realize that all of these get insert attribute here quick methods are just gimmicks. The best way to achieve something is with discipline and perseverance. It may not be flashy but it pays off in the end. Stuff takes time, that shouldn't really be a bad thing.

This is a really cool idea with a lot of potential. I think with a bit more work it could be super useful to a lot of people. First thing I noticed was that it isn't always up to date with companies hiring. Clicking on one that was hiring, the website said that they were no longer accepting applications. Anyways, keep up the good work!

I realize what 2 factor authentication is, and perhaps I jumped too soon before considering it, but with everything else happening I can't help but think they would want my number for more than just my added security.

I read this article, which was very enlightening by the way, and the first thing I did was go to check and see if I had fallen prey to the dark patterns of LinkedIn. The first thing I see when I log on is that they're asking, "Add an extra layer of security to your profile, add your phone number"

Really?? This made me even more uneasy than before. Why would that add additional security to my profile? Has anyone else seen this on their home page yet?

>As a test of Visual Basic skills

I would assume it's VBA. I would love to see that code.

I love the simplicity of this.

If there were a way to add alerts when things are coming up that would be a good option. I know there have been times I've made a TODO list thinking I was getting organized, forgot about it, and never got my task done.

If you're saying Christians are called not to condemn LGBT persons, I would agree with that. Forgiveness is supposed to be prevalent in Christianity. People that are LGBT should still be treated as people, and as far as Christianity goes, everyone is a sinner, and everyone has their own temptations and battles.

OKWU is seemingly fearful that allowing that culture into their student body would affect it in a way they deem negative or counter productive.

As far as LGBT not contradicting scripture, I have a hard time coming to that interpretation. From what I've read it seems clear that the bible is against that.

Stuff like this is fascinating to me. I'm by no means an expert in writing code, I'm very much a beginner, but the creative potential that is there has always drawn me in.

If one was going to learn OOP correctly in Java (or Python) from the beginning, where would be a good place to start? Are there any textbooks or good websites for this?

I understand that, that's why I said most and not all. You're absolutely right, some students have colleges chosen for them by parents/guardians.

>To put it mildly, then, Oklahoma Wesleyan is behind the curve when it comes to LGBT rights.

If this college claims to maintain christian values, then they will always be behind LGBT rights because they directly contradict biblical scripture. This argument is void for any christian university.

Also, most students have a choice as to where they attend school. Any student that is planning to attend OKWU has ample opportunity to understand what they're getting into. If they don't like the rules, they should pick a different school.

I wouldn't be too afraid of the Linux GUIs. With the amount of customization that is available for these you can probably make it operate very similar to the way your OS X GUI does. Granted that could take some extra work on your part.

>the particular details and manner in which Dr. Piper did so in this case, however, taken as presented, shows a lack of both the general adult ability to maturely deal with uncomfortable situations and the specific Christian virtues it pretends to be concerned with.

Can you not judge the student under the same criteria? If the student had been pursuing Christian virtues, the student would have taken the time to see how the sermon could better him/her as a Christian, and not immediately taken offense to it.

>Our culture has actually taught our kids to be this self-absorbed and narcissistic.

I have to say I tend to agree with this statement. I feel like every day I see more and more of the younger generation (~25 and younger) acting entitled to everything. Even in elementary schools, it is no longer the child's fault for acting up, but somehow the teacher's fault, which is a complete 180 from what it used to be.

I have to side with Dr. Piper on this one. The student chose to go to this university, I assume the student also tries to adhere to the Christian beliefs. If this is the case then Dr. Piper is absolutely right. It's not his job to coddle these students and make them feel good. If they are there to learn about Christianity and follow the beliefs that go along with it then they should expect to be corrected when their actions contradict that of the religion they desire to follow. Being humbled is just a part of it.

If I may be bold enough to give this student another verse to look at:

Proverbs 13:10 "Where there is strife, there is pride, but wisdom is found in those who take advice."

>Our goal was to understand why monogamous marriage has become standard in most developed nations in recent centuries, when most recorded cultures have practiced polygyny

I had no idea that the majority of older cultures practiced this. I'm no history buff either though. Still, that's very surprising to me for some reason.

Interesting, looks like a fun idea.

How difficult is it to get a new top part (the blue piece in the pictures)? Once you drill it out you wouldn't be able to use the original LED again.

It might be fun also to do something like this with a UV LED, then you could have a black flashlight.
