    $15 minimum wage for Seattle OK'd

    What I really don't understand is how they are really expecting the youth to enter the work force with a $15/hour minimum wage. No service industry business will hire any "ordinary" employee for that wage unless they have the utmost qualifications for the job, which will make it difficult for...

    Favorite Forum Software ?

    I tested the compatibility of existing 1.6 themes on the 1.8 beta release, and I was surprised. With the exception of missing a few template features (such as the theme switcher) and a few missing icons, the compatibility was pretty good considering I'm importing them into a completely different...

    Favorite Forum Software ?

    I'm surprised they are going for a rewrite to be honest, considering that their core API is great. It is limiting for certain things, but their templates and plugin hooks system is great. Maybe five years down the road, we'll see something interesting. Hopefully 1.8 will be good enough to tie...

    You and a merge

    I've been a member of a few, and never once have I ever really been pleased with the outcome as a member. That's not to say that I'm opposed to the idea in all cases, but for the communities I was involved in, it clearly wasn't handled correctly. I guess, for me, I just don't like...

    Xenforo

    Not sure if it's just me, but I've noticed that it seems like every Xenforo forum has pretty much the same look and feel. MyBB is probably the most customizable software I have made use of so far, which is the primary reason I'm using it currently.

    How Good Is Your Hearing?

    I can hear up to about 18KHZ (up to 18.5 depending on the test), although my hearing comprehension is very poor. That's unfortunate considering that I work in the restaurant industry, but I make it work. :P

    Blue Purple Space

    Ah, nice. The alternative background certainly seems to give the image a somewhat different feel. Both versions look great. :D

    Blue Purple Space

    Looks great. The blue glare in the background looks nice and adds contrast. What was the original version of the work?

    An Old Street

    The red door contrasts quite a bit with the greyscale surroundings. Nice photo. :D

    Name changes

    I used to allow members to change their own usernames at my forum, and that's pretty much exactly what happened. Now I have a by request to admin policy for that. I've never denied a change request, but it discourages users from changing their usernames too often.

    Ubuntu or Linux

    It's pretty easy to dual boot with most distributions. Ubuntu makes it pretty easy as it has all of the partitioning related tools directly in the installer. You still need to know what you're doing, but most desktop distributions nowadays make it relatively easy to do, as long as Windows is...

    Got a new job

    Congrats, sounds like an enjoyable job. I'm hoping to eventually land a job in a similar field long term. How is it going so far?

    Gross American food

    Fried pickles are great. I can't imagine eating them with chocolate sauce though. Those two flavors don't belong together in my opinion. :P

    ANY job

    I'd be a software developer at my own company, designing content management scripts for websites. Either that, or waiting tables. :P

    Post your desktop (or other wallpapers)

    RE: Post your desktop Very nice. Almost makes me wish I was a mac user. :P

    Very nice! I love the dark and modern feel to it. :D

    Not interested in forums anymore

    Forums get boring. Communities don't. :P

    Your PC graphics card

    I had a GTS 250, but it was fried twice, on two different occasions, thanks to a faulty fan. I'm officially back to integrated graphics. :P

    Favorite Forum Software ?

    RE: Favourite Forum Software Haha agreed. It took me forever just to figure out how to copy permissions on creating a new board, and if you did it wrong, it was a real pain to fix. I'm glad I'm not using phpbb anymore. I like the software, but MAN were those permission setups a pain. :P

    Expensive restaurants

    I mostly eat fast food. It's a bit sad because I work at a waiter-service restaurant, but we really don't get paid much. :P
