This shows me how little I knew. I thought the majority of land was owned by the royalty.

How are we going to pay for the great wall of Mexico again? No, I don't believe Mexico will pay for it...with cash I mean.

His books are going for a fortune on Amazon.

To me, a lot of success is knowing when to give up and make a tangential change. Many failures I've come across were stubborn people who refused to let it go and try something different. But then again, you might let go and someone else will pick up the ball and make a million. You are back to gambling.

20 years ago when I did some consulting for the Gap, I saw inside their data systems and realized they were a large real estate organization. It was the first time I witnessed the dynamic nature of corporate America.

Side note: I have the direct opposite wish: I want a single mouse that can move off the boundary of one PC's monitor(s) and into the monitor of my laptop or across two or more desktop computers without having to change hardware. Same thing with a single keyboard.

I've tried full stack programming on one monitor and it took forever and was really frustrating. Multiple text editors/IDE's, test browsers, remote SERVER connections, SQL server admin consoles. Heck, a few command prompts. Constantly minimizing and maximizing. My browser had so many tabs open it was ridiculous. I'm totally not against one massive wide screen but they don't make them wide enough yet.

You haven't heard of Law 2.0. The slow rise to financial dominance is coming to an end for the big Amlaw firms. A disruption event is on the horizon where lawyers will need to be replaced with technology/law expert hybrids who will program the legal systems which will act autonomously with as little intervention as possible. Hands on law will eventually become a thing of the past. I've been working in legal for 25 years on the IT side. I've seen it go from ALL paper to 'paper on demand'. Nearly everything is digital with ETL warehousing acting as the data conductor. The clients are fed up with $1000 an hour corporate lawyers and want another cheaper and faster solution.

I should make a startup called Trampoline. Other startups pay me insurance premiums and I hop in with a team and salaries for ejected employees to keep doors open for however long they paid for after a crash. As part of the customer SLA they cite Trampoline and the duration of post mortem life being paid for.

47 here. The network of people that I've built up over 25 years is still there. If I need a job, I just contact one and they just offer it to me. Why? Because I can do every phase of dev. I can build and maintain the project and budget. I can interact with the heads of all departments and leave them feeling warm and fuzzy. I get the job done. Usually ahead of schedule. I'm a fire and forget developer. If I applied for the run of the mill full stack position, I'd never make the cut. And I don't care because I never setup my future to fall into that hole.

This happened to me as well and the thief/buyer decided it would be funny to leave negative feedback as well. I'm not selling on Ebay ever again. The system is st

GITS 2 took some patience. Totally different movie. GITS 1 blew my mind like Akira did.

That's genius!

I don't get it. Why is it no one has invented a safe JVM for ad execution so the site believes they are executing even though nothing is actually getting through? Is the coding required just too insane to handle?

Can something like an Ionic Breeze type system work? Or does it have to be HEPA? Frankly, the smell alone makes me want to enclose it in acrylic and use a HEPA + carbon + fan.
