Ahh, that's why it's $4. I kept waiting for the low price to expire.

I do a search for canceling that business, before I sign up. If I see a bunch of horror stories, then it's time to walk away.

How did the car not even apply the brakes? How could it fail that bad?

I think weight limits would be a good start. Do we really need 400 pound linemen?
I also think game play would improve with lighter, faster players.

30 for 30 is by far the best ESPN original content in the past 10 years.
Re:Yahoo investors rankle at spin-off plan, one suggests laying off 9,000
on Monday December 14, 2015 @07:33PM (#10735115)
I don't get it. Why shouldn't Yahoo pay the taxes? They invested in Alibaba, and have made HUGE gains, and if they want to realize those gains, they need to pay the taxes.
Re:Git Cheat Sheet
on Saturday December 05, 2015 @08:15PM (#10683977)
Here is my daily git workflow:
1 - Clone the repo (only need do this once)
2 - git checkout branchname
3 - Make some file changes
4 - git add filenames
5 - git commit
6 - git pull (make sure you are up to date BEFORE you push to remote repo)
7 - Build and TEST
8 - git push
That's 90% of what I do.
Merging branches is simple.
1 - git checkout destinationBranch
2 - git pull
3 - git merge sourceBranch
4 - build and test
5 - git push
Cheers!

They removed all the "Yield / Unprotected Left Turn" lights in my town, just for this reason. People simply don't understand. It's a bummer to sit and wait, but it does save lives.

Correct. But none of the most popular sales channels were created by the record industry. (iTunes, Spotify, etc)
