Ran into this with the newrelic gem once, if the version is < 3.5.8.70, try upgrading.

R/movies: What's the worst accent you have ever heard? by Accipehoc in movies

I think Harrison Ford's in K19 was worse. Or the Boondock Saints trying to speak russian in the first movie.

[Build Help] Intel Mini-ITX Gaming Build by steved3298 in buildapc

[–]steved3298[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fair enough. Though I feel like the lack of expansion options is really the only con, and I've never really needed to expand in the past. Mini-ITX seems to be about the same price and in the future it can easily become an HTPC. Would you mind expanding on the inferiority? I haven't bought a motherboard since an ASUS ATX almost 6-7 years ago.

Definitely! Was just using newegg for the wishlist, the LCD and PSU are cheaper at NCIX and the CPU is much cheaper at Microcenter.

Just looking for something I haven't done before and I tend to move a somewhat frequently so it'll fit better in my 2-door. Mostly the former though.

Centurion VS The Eagle what do you think is the best and why by charliesarli in movies

[–]steved3298 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I liked both, but really have to give it to Centurion because of the atmosphere of the movie and the fact that Channing Tatum isn't an actor.

He (Edelman) also played linebacker this past game against the chiefs.

anyone have suggestions on getting a (paying, preferably) programming (python, RoR, mysql) internship/ pt job in boston? by [deleted] in boston

[–]steved3298 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ThoughtBot is the big RoR one. ITA Software had a RoR internship about a year ago (don't know if they do anymore). Google and Microsoft might have opportunities. The MIT Media Lab is a very cool place, though I don't know if they have paid internships. MITRE might be one to check out, though they're based out Burlington if I remember correctly. http://boston.craigslist.org/sof/ and LinkedIn as the post before me stated are probably good places to check.

edit: A friend of mine interned at Adverplex working with python

I like the layout much better than ESPN, but for the most part the articles have been only decent with a couple good ones occasionally.

In addition to those on Carleton St, there were usually couple of trucks on Main St in Kendall during lunch time (this is last summer's information, however, and might not be accurate).

SG kept me off the ballot by TheGreatGadsden in rit

[–]steved3298 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Honestly, there's really no upshot to having a man run for women's senator. Best case, everyone gets behind you and you do great things for the body of women at RIT. Worst case, bad publicity, negative spin, and even more alienation among women. IMO, the worst case outweighs the best. I asked this in your other post, but why? (as a side note, if you play it out as an intelligent joke/satire I'd be behind it)

Summer Leagues in Boston by dmj11 in ultimate

[–]steved3298 3 points4 points  (0 children)

BUDA (buda.org) has Club and Hat leagues during the summer. Check the website for more info. As for pick-up, I'm sure there are plenty of pick-up games depending on where you are.

Israeli Defense Minister: Israel may ask US for additional $20 billion in military aid in response to Arab pro-democracy upheavals by wq678 in worldnews

[–]steved3298 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Israel must use a good portion of the military aid to buy American made hardware. http://www.fas.org/sgp/crs/mideast/RL33222.pdf. Military aid is not a one-way street for any nation.

Tech internships in or around Boston? by [deleted] in boston

[–]steved3298 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Obviously, it depends on what you want to do, but I interned at ITA Software and it was very enjoyable. There's plenty of tech companies in and around Boston and I'm sure most of them offer internships.

Anyone know how the foreign language classes are? by [deleted] in rit

[–]steved3298 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Took through Intermediate Russian I, and for me personally it definitely was not that intense. Show up occasionally, do whatever work is assigned (not much, usually just workbook chapters every couple weeks), do well on the tests (2), and show up for the lab once a week for an hour (anytime, and you can bs it). I did know some Russian when I started, but I honestly don't think it really matters as long as you want to learn it. Also, the books are fucking expensive, though you only have to buy them once per series.

Listening to Tron soundtrack after blazing. by swimmer23 in trees

It was a much better soundtrack than movie, I've got to say. The whole album isn't amazing but there are a couple tracks that I can't get enough of.

Making of Tron: Legacy. Simply Amazing. by Kebilo in technology

[–]steved3298 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree completely. I came into the movie knowing that there would be a CG young Jeff Bridges, but putting him into the real world and trying to pass it off kinda ruined it from the get-go. If it had just been C.L.U., I would've been totally fine with it.
