I'm assuming an ebook reader on the ipad doesn't count?

I have both CompSci and EE. I'm not sure which I'd pick if I only had one. I think EE was a fair bit harder than CompSci but has probably opened doors. I don't think most employers would tell you "no, you can't have a programming job with an EE", although you should probably make sure to do some CS stuff on your own time to have you bases covered. That being said, I got both in 5 years at UB (three classes over summers) and there's overlap. It's a good thing to put on the resume if you can manage it.

Yep. http://www.splendidtable.org/recipes/buttermints

There's 33% "O" in that name, way too much. :)

Was it a basket of those buttermint things? (note: I just learned the name buttermint; before this they were "those mints at grandma's" or "the mints we get at Ponderosa")

That's never a bad idea. :)

You could hit on chz again... :)

This a new one: Finish the Job. This is an old one: This. How could I forget: $PLAYERNAME!

Well, rotate between NY, LA, and Chicago.... hmmmm.....

Last I saw the conversation was drifting towards libel and examples of it.

I wish mine were out, I hate fluorescent lights.

I'm not arguing loudness in the two buildings, but it's not like there's a NIST or ISO standard for "Hockey Microphone Placement and Gain Levels for TV Broadcasts". There are so many factors in how loud the crowd noise, from building materials to "we have an HoF announcer we don't want to cover up" that the TV can't be taken without a hefty portion of salt.

or sqrt(81)

I work for the same company, but it's very large and I don't know Neuvsie. General server-side network stuff (not much desktop support these days). Firewalls, network security and management, Linux servers, DNS, Storage, VMs, etc. Need to work on cloud crap more, but from what I've seen it's the same as the VM stuff I've been doing with a webby interface.

I looked at the boxscore, and didn't see his name as a sakter. Clearly he must be injured.

Matt Pie ‏@mattpi 17h17 hours ago @martybiron43 Does "Biron" really translate to "two circles" which is why you rocked the 00 early on? http://www.hockeygoalies.org/faq/numbers.html … 0 retweets 0 favorites Martin Biron ‏@martybiron43 15h15 hours ago @mattpi "bi-round" would be dual circles. I had the number given to me when I was 16 and somebody came up with this theory years later. 11:32 PM - 21 Apr 2015 · Details

Is it any different than GMs that have a strong preference for Canadians over Americans and Russians?

At the time the Sabres were terrible and I thought he wanted another kick at the playoffs before he retired. Trading a player only for "future considerations" seems to be used for feel-good situations. I found this in an old ESPN article: Ray goes to Ottawa, which has a league-best 94 points. "I'm excited about the opportunity to go to a contender,'' Ray said. "It's something the Sabres didn't have to do, but I appreciate the fact they did it.'' The deals also helped the Sabres decrease their payroll.

I've noticed that. Either the scouting reports are written by agents or the scouts are trying to be "nice" unless there's a glaring issue with the kids play. My guess it's the latter with the expectation that the reader understands that if they're comparing someone ranked #3 and #20, #20 may have the same attributes as #3 but #3 is just better. A little fleeter of foot, better hands, etc.

Didn't Ray ask to be traded to Ot'wa?

You better get some corned beef on that logo.

Whoops! :) I was thinking if he signs O'Connor (although rumor has it Buffalo is out on that now).

Oh, new angle I don't think was mentioned: the more people TM signs off BU, the less reason Jack Eichel has to stay. :)
