Right of way at a two way stop sign? (RESOLVED based on IOWA legislation)

Dodo4 Comments

This post has been targeted by comment spam bot probably because of the keyword “legislation” in the subject. I’m turning comments off. Which driver would have right of way in the following scenario? Two cars approach an intersection where the east and westbound directions are controlled by stop signs, and the north and southbound directions… Continue reading Right of way at a two way stop sign?

“Did you know if you push the button on one of the barbie dolls, she will say ‘Math is hard! Let’s go shopping!’ That’s why we don’t have many women in the field of computer science.” – Ted Neward said at the nofluff open discussion and the crowd bursted into laughter. I looked around and… Continue reading Women and Science

我们,是否都在为童年疗伤?

Dodo

年初当我忧郁症很糟时我和心理医生谈到我童年和成长的一切不幸. 他说每个人或多或少都在为童年疗伤. 童年是我们最需要呵护和爱的时候. 但许多人的童年恰恰是最无助最受伤害的时候. 这种伤害对不同的人照成很不同的影响. 有些人选择自暴自弃放弃前途. 有些人变得过分内向,很难沟通. 而有些对他来说几乎是奇迹现象会很成功很正常,几乎无法想像会有不幸的童年. 他很赞美我的表现,认为我是属于奇迹的一类.但我不知道这种赞美我是否可以接受. 无论表面上多么的成功正常,内心深处的痛楚与针扎不是可以完全抹去的.时间可以帮助淡忘但无法消除. 有些话题还是无法碰触. 从某个角度上来讲,我们是很孤独的. 没有许多人愿意倾听伤心往事.就算愿意,真正了解理解的又有几个? 因为得不到知音,我们就深藏一些很重要的情感. 在失眠的夜里,日记里涂写着. 所以我在这里写着. 因为有些童年和成长的点滴还是会在我脑海里浮现,提醒着我我人生中很难弥补的缺陷和让我深夜难眠的不安.

Holy crap, I thought I was going to die. I couldn’t figure out for the life of me how to get the new jQuery mobile popup to work within a jQuery mobile page. The documentation just shows the sample code outside of a page. Outside of a page it works just fine. But as soon… Continue reading jQuery mobile 1.2 alpha release popup to work within a page
