The virtual machine is like any piece of software and can always be improved in principle. Think of it like the updates you get for all your other software. A lot of them don't involve changing any features but just fix issues or improve performance. The Java language itself can be thought of as the feature set for…

Maybe she thought sugar and red food coloring are vitamins.

It's worth mentioning that during the ice crew's later appearances in the game, the boos were accompanied by a lot of cheering from female fans.

That doesn't really prove anything. There's some serious selection bias in what gets filmed and distributed.

Indeed, they're both assholes but only one was a trained professional failing at his job.

My understanding is that the difference between additive and subtractive models applies to only to mixing colors but not to determining color harmony (i.e. whether blue goes with orange). Is this correct?

I'm just becoming familiar with this stuff and I've got some general questions about color theory for anyone knowledgeable.

I don't know what you're talking about. With the cheat code, I could beat it every time. It was really more of an issue to see how few lives you could lose while beating it. I never got good enough to be it without the cheat, but I think I was fairly close.

I was at the game (in orange and black, of course) and thought it was pretty low class when the house was booing him as he lay out on the ice. Definitely disappointed in that type of behavior.

This seems like a pretty risky maneuver. Black Friday is a pretty special sale occasion, and I'm pretty sure the CCs have already thought about how to wiggle out of that.

He looks really short there, but remember that she is on skates.

You're right that the debit card will work equally good for that purpose. The main advantages of credit over debit is generally in reward programs (although apparently some debit cards give rewards now) and in building one's credit in case you ever want to get a loan (home, car, business, etc)

Indeed. I've become more budget conscious lately and CC bills are an easy way to track monthly spending.

I should've added that not only should you only buy what you can immediately afford, but also that you pay off the balance every month. I guess I felt that shouldn't have to be said, but if that were the case there'd be no need for articles like this.

Yeah, I'm not sure why some people can't handle it. I understand that inexperience with credit cards can lead to trouble, but if you're an otherwise responsible adult I find it weird that this particular thing can be so hard to manage.

Honestly, the secret to responsible credit card use is just not to think of it as credit. Only buy what you could have afforded to buy had you paid cash. If you do so, you definitely come out ahead in the game, especially if you have a good reward program.

Good point about accounting. You're bill hits you right in the face with exactly how much you're spending and on what (or at least where).

Like others have said, the reward systems are worth it. If you get 1% cash back on all purchases then the world is essentially 1% cheaper for you. What is there not to like about that? As far as irresponsible spending goes, well, just don't do it.

I believe you are confusing protons (relatively heavy particles in the nucleus of an atom), with photons (the quantum particles of light). Protons can't go at the speed of light since they have mass.

I'd suggest checking out some William Hope Hodgson, another Lovecraft influence.
