    Help me understand music

    OK, that's somewhat helpful. But I'm actually NOT referring to "top 40 pop" because I can figure that out. There's a fairly limited number of artists and songs that are well played on the radio. So I understand that bit. But it's all this other stuff-- like brostep. What the heck is that? Is it...

    Help me understand music

    So, I play classical guitar. I can read music. I can tell you what a fugue is, and a sonata, and a concerto. If you ask me what musicians I like, I'll give you answers like J.S. Bach and The Beatles. I'm 31. Now, I really *want* to understand contemporary music. But I'm completely...

    Cascading folder permissions royally f-ed up

    OK I figured it out and I thought I would put the solution here in case anyone else needs it. There is a command called "takeown" which you can use at the command line: takeown /f C:\whatever /r The /r is for recursive. It didn't work at first. But then I started the command prompt window...

    Cascading folder permissions royally f-ed up

    TL;DR: - I have a folder (with a big tree of folders under it) with important stuff in it - I was mucking around trying to share it to another PC - At some point, I made an "Everyone" group and then clicked "Deny All" permissions - This was a bad idea - I've managed to remove the "Deny...

    Is my iPhone 5 locked? What does 'locked' even mean, anyway?

    Thanks guys. I think I can safely call this "answered"... I'll let you know if it actually really really works when I get to China ;-)

    Is my iPhone 5 locked? What does 'locked' even mean, anyway?

    Further, I know the phone will "work" in China with the existing SIM card. What I want to know is if I buy a local chinese SIM card (e.g. from China Mobile) and put it in the phone, will that work?

    Is my iPhone 5 locked? What does 'locked' even mean, anyway?

    I bought a FULL PRICE phone directly from an Apple Store. There was no subsidy. I then subsequently walked into a Verizon store, showed them the phone and said, "I want to use this phone on your network".

    Is my iPhone 5 locked? What does 'locked' even mean, anyway?

    TL;DR: - I bought an iPhone 5 from the Apple Store at full price. - I activated it with Verizon. - I'm going to China. QUESTIONS: - If I get a SIM card in China, can I put it in my phone and have it work? - Is my iPhone 5 "locked"? - Does it being locked (or not locked) have any...

    English speaking tech jobs in Asia

    Cliff's notes, for all of you who hate reading: - looking to make a move to Asia on a semi-permanent basis (2-3 years, say, to the extent that visas and the like will allow) - career is in technology; started as a software developer, now working in a management capacity on the...

    Need career/life choice advice

    I've considered that. Also note that since I'd be working (teaching, maybe trying to build a business out east) I would have an income... so I need less savings than you might imagine. The problem is that I've been using savings as an excuse. "Oh, well maybe if I can make my first million...

    Anyone here ever tried to learn a second language?

    So I've seen several people specifically mention vocabulary as a problem... and that's been a problem for me too, in the past. Anyone else share that problem? e.g. "The major barrier to me learning a language is learning and remembering the vocabulary I need to get by." Also, does this problem...

    How to do investment research? Can't find good data online

    Help me test a new venture?

    Neither, really. I'm going to work with you on developing a value proposition that you can use to drive the things you need to get a job: resume, cover letter, interview skills, etc. Most people start at the wrong level ("I'm writing my resume"). They should be starting at, "What compelling...

    Help me test a new venture?

    Hey guys, After several years in an executive role in tech, I've given a lot of career advice, seen a lot of resumes, and interviewed a lot of folks. The way people go about job hunting and career building is universally terrible, and most of the ideas out there for how to improve are just...

    Can you elaborate? Do you mean my tires are under-inflated? Why would the dealer give me under-inflated tires? Car is 3 months old brand new.

    Just bought a BMW 3... but I feel out of control

    To answer questions: It's just a 323i - basically entry level, not M3 or anything like that. Regular all-season tires. Traction control is on... everything is in "default" mode. To be clear, I'm not talking about complete loss of control here... just a subtle feeling of slippage that I never...

    Just bought a BMW 3... but I feel out of control

    Thanks guys. So if RWD has all of these handling "problems", then why would I want it? I mean I realize it helps me accelerate faster in a straight line because it puts the weight of the car over the wheels where the power is being delivered... but is that really the practical use case? Or is...

    Just bought a BMW 3... but I feel out of control

    In my old Civic, I always felt 100% in control. My new BMW is great, but it's rear wheel drive and I'm wondering if that's contributing to my sense of loss of control. For example when I take tight corners on the BMW, I feel like the rear wheels "slip" (I think this is called understeer?)...

    Obese woman wins fight with neighbors over coveted parking spot closer to entrance

    In my condo, I *own* my parking spot. As in, I have a separate physical deed for that exact spot. In order for me to "trade" it with someone, you have to buy it from me. Doesn't matter what the condo association thinks. Private property.

    Feedback appreciated on side-project I've been working on

    See, when you say "hire a designer" I'm not sure how that's the solution. Feels like I need a marketer. IMO the "design" follows good design principles; the problem that everyone is talking about is more on the marketing side of things.

    Why do engineers usually lack empathy?

    Most of the engineers I deal with tend to do things that are completely inconsiderate of the people around them. For example when we're out for dinner at a Japanese restaurant where they don't speak good English, they'll say things to the waitress like "I'll have what the gentlemen to my...

    Anyone here a business owner who introduced a new product to the market?

    Online customer reviews don't build brands. At best, they'll help with conversions directly at the point of sale. Do you have any idea what you're doing at all? Go read a few books. Posting on a forum is not where you want to be.
