I'm not in the industry, but I would like to say that I am highly encouraged by the way you described your offering.

You express a level of care, consideration, and diplomacy that is sadly lacking just about everywhere.

The product itself looks amazing; I love seeing this high bar for open source.

Art is never completed, only abandoned.

Cool, can you point me to some lawyer bootcamps, this whole time I thought that was a heavily regulated industry that required degrees and a bar exam to be qualified. Really stoked to let my wife know she didn't need to take those CPA exams to practice too.

If I recall correctly, you'd have to be at least a lvl 4 wizard to cast freedom of movement.

I'm suprised by all this safari love in 2016. Working in front end web development, Safari has become the IE of today. Compatability and support for otherwise common web technologies is just plain broken.

I use JetBrains Webstorm, and on that hitting CMD+SHFT+F creates a search local to the selected folder in the directory tree. Seems pretty intuitive to me, but finding files themselves, as opposed to string constants and the like, is actually the more difficult thing Ive yet to figure out.

For those in the Bay Area, there's a full sized version of Senet at the Egyptian museum in San Jose. Not sure where they got there rules from. Also saw Senet on Steam recently. Seems like the game is on a comeback.

So true. I've gotten in the habit of writing copious notes during meetings, and write everything down verbatim. When I first started doing this, I was astounded to find how disorganized most individuals train of thought appeared to be.

What's really interesting is our ability to comprehend the jumble that comes out of our mouth. On one hand, it's impressive what our brains can do to process this jumble, on the other, totally depressing how inadequate we are at stringing together oration.

I loved how negotiable everything was, how organic the relationships were. For example, in the case of dealing with PKers. You could go out and band together to just outright kill the PK--which was dangerous because if you accidentally hit someone else, you would then turn yellow(neutral) and then red (pk) if you hit them to many times. Alternatively, you could gather a posse, corner a PK and "arrest" them (an informal arrangement). You would negotiate the arrest, and escort that person back to the jail. The PKs friends would then organize a rescue attempt on the way, often resulting in a pitched battle on the jailhouse steps. Good times.

YES, THIS. Meridian is still my fave MMO of all time. I import the soundtrack into all my rpg games.

I find the title misleading and unanswered within the body of the story. Also, Silicon Valley is not a university, though there are certainly a few peppered throughout the valley.

I could be wrong on this, as I'm too lazy to fact check, so I will offer these two "factoids" as hearsay for now:

1. I recall that the events described in the Illiad did not take place in Homer's lifetime, but much earlier.

2. The Bahagavad Gita, which is one of the texts the previous poster alluded to, is likewise a tale of events that allegedly unfolded long before its writing (some 5000 years ago allegedly).
