So, in this article you talk about how this issue for the S4 is well known. For any given car, how do you find out this type of info? For instance, if I was looking at buying a higher mileage A6 wagon, how would I found out if there is some issue similar to this I need to check for? Are we talking just reading through…

I have two dogs, both about 5 years old, and both very dog (or any other animal really) aggressive. A few times they’ve gotten out and after another dog, but once they get close it’s like they don’t know what to do. Lot’s of barking and snarling, but no actual biting. It’s never something I actively allow them to do,…

Worst weird foods:

I've done couple with good results. I do a shrimp and grits that's spectacular, and I do the shrimp for it flambé in bourbon. Setting a pan of shrimp on fire in your date's kitchen tends to impress. This one is involved, so it works better when your date is coming over to your place you can start the grits and gravy…

It literally happens all the time, and the thing is, we offer to let you use the language you're the most comfortable in. Some of it is going to be lying on their resume, some of it is hiding in the middle of large projects for the majority of their careers, and some of it is coding for a small business that doesn't…

I intend to check these out, but can anyone tell me from experience if there is anything preventing you from opening an account then closing it soon after?

Same situation with the recruiters here. As someone who has hired about 20 contractors over the past 2 years, I will say that my problem has largely been finding developers that can actually write code. We give some simple coding questions, not longer than 15 minutes a piece, and our pass rate for these has been about…

I am irrationally excited by this.

Is your firm nationwide? I'd be interested to know what the market is like elsewhere. For instance, here in Charlotte the recruiters tell me it's largely C#, Java (dropping off), and SQL.

Depends on what you want you want to do, but yes it is strictly a Windows framework. It can be useful, and MS is backing it hard so you're sure to see more features implemented as time goes on. I would say if you have any interest as an admin or as DevOps, or if you are going to be doing a lot of back end development…

Don't be sad, you chose wisely. I think the OP is wrong about this being a bubble, and people have been wrongly "calling" the end of this "bubble" for years now. I think a case could be made that maybe some part of the software industry is bubble-ish, but in general software has a good outlook still. While there is…

My gf got one a few weeks ago. It was an automated message threatening lawsuit. She was freaked out at first because we know she does actually owe money, but fortunately I've been through that process before and know that's not how it works.

Where should I drop the variable z, representing having a family.

They can vary a bit, but they generally operate at right around the boiling point at the high setting, and about 180 - 190 at the low setting.

Literally just bought a slow cooker a month or two ago. Went with TheSweethome's recommendation and haven't been disappointed so far. Honestly, I was considering a much more expensive one before reading their tests, and I'm happy I didn't get it now. They're such simple machines, so it doesn't really make sense to…

Professional developer here, as well as a recovering math idiot. While there's certainly programming that requires a good amount of math, I wouldn't call anything other than the most basic algebra necessary for the majority of programming jobs. I'm talking solve for x kind of algebra. Most programming jobs are writing…

You folks, more than any other Gawker site imho, are just killing it with the sub blogs. Between the main page, Hackerspace, Two Cents, Vitals, and now Skillet you have managed to create a Venn diagram of my interests. Well... I still need io9 for some stuff I guess. Regardless, bravo.

My home office has been a highly productive area for me for a long time, but once Windows 10 drops and I can stream my Xbox games to any screen I might have to find a spot away from the house. It definitely won't be the office, but maybe a coffee shop or something.
