Planescape: Torment was better in my opinion.

They're doing the same for Baldur's Gate 2 in the engine of Dragon Age Origins.

I think you missed the point. OP isn't saying that low-level employees shouldn't do low-level work, but that they shouldn't be doing it for free. It gives a massive unfair advantage to the wealthy young who can afford to work for X amount of time without getting paid. Many talented, bright people would never be able…

No offense at all, but if the two authors have been an intern a combined total of thirteen times shouldn't that set off red flags? Not necessarily that the advice is bad, but that the entire idea of internships is broken on a fundamental level.

An internship is there so that you can work at the place, get a feel for…

I find some of this advice to be a bit problematic. It seems to glorify internships and actually accept the mindset that interns should put up with a lot of the bs they get from staff. Unpaid interships are the worst and they shouldn't exist. It unfairly advantages those who have the luxury of time because they don't…

I actually used this method to learn how to code (Ruby/Sinatra) for the book – it's the same process. The most difficult parts were (1) figuring out how to set up the programming on my computer, (2) learning basic concepts, like variables, objects, and methods, and (3) deciding which program to work on first. I was…

OneNote is my file cabinet, and Keep is my notepad.

Cynicism aside: every new brain surgeon starts with zero experience. Anything that helps them through those critical first few hours of practice is a good thing.

Nice, a new feature for each user.

People need context for Bob and Doug MacKenzie? During the NHL playoffs of all times? I am truly old.

Take off, eh? (Ya hoser.)

Actually it just means you are more tech savvy, and even an accountant needs to be able to work with some forms of tech. It just gives an extra impact to an applicant if he has a professional looking landing page.

Anyone remember The Royal Diaries books? I was obsessed with them. Looking back, I'm sure they weren't entirely historically accurate, but I was really into international cultures, and these were about "real" princesses who definitely didn't wear pink glittery dresses. Check out that list: Warrior Queen of Matamba…

Here's an idea. How about we let people decide if they want long hair or not and if they shampoo or not.

I found myself becoming less and less interested in the characters once they started acting like they themselves were less and less interested in each other at times. Jack became nothing more than a whiny, self-absorbed...something, Locke was dead, but not dead, but not himself, but the smoke monster, and riiiight…

Polar bears were there because the Dharma initiative had a zoo on Hydra Island, and was running strange Dharma tests on how large arctic mammals handled equatorial climates. Later they would use the polar bears in crazy mystery island experiments, sending one to Tunisia with the energy pocket of "the wheel." The…
