Man, I miss programming...  Didn't realize how much until I heard those last few posts.

You should totally get back into it!  There's a reason I do it for a living.  Someone once told me "find someone who will pay you for your hobby and you'll never work a day in your life."

How long has it been since you were last into programming?  GW-Basic?  Q-Basic? VB? Or did you manage to slip into my world?  The world of .NET?

AFAIK, Python is a bit like a C++ alternative; it still uses all the C syntax but has its own libraries and extensions and general is easier to learn than C++ (thank god). 

While my personal opinion is that C++ is the devil, it has something python doesn't use... braces.  In C++ you get something that looks like this
int x = 10;
if(x > 5)
{
   x = x + 4;
}

As a professional programmer, the same concept in python makes me cry
x = 10
if x > 5 :
    x = x + 4

python's interpretation of source code relies exclusively on the indentation of your code, and you don't have to declare any of your variables /cry

There is already a thread for this deck, please use it.

Those are pretty cool looking.  I just picked up a deck of these.  I'm a little disappointed that the reveal is an AoS, it's kind of cheesy, but I'm not too concerned cause I bought this deck for my collection, I doubt I'll use it for performance.

Doesn't seem like many people appreciate the Raiders though..

My white raiders are one of my favorite decks!  The black ones are eh... I'm just not a huge fan of the blue outlines on the face cards on the black deck, but I love the white ones.

Have you tried the Karnival Death Heads?  Great deck for those conditions.

No, I don't actually own any BBM decks.  I'm waiting for one that really strikes my fancy.  I don't much care for any of the existing ones.  I really liked the notion of the inferno deck, but they messed that up.  What do you mean good for those conditions?  Are the Death Heads resistant to frozen drinks?

They are variations on the social media website world.  First there was Myspace, then came facebook, then twitter, and then the online world exploded into a macrocosm of information and digital social interactions; wordpress, tumbler, flickr, etc.  Pinterest, Pinspire, and weHEARTit are simply websites that use photographic content as their staple media to convey subjects around which people can comment and converse.

EDIT: I do not have an account on any of the 3 websites mentioned in the title of this thread, I am just familiar with them.

Yeah, I saw those. Consider me sufficiently intrigued, it's got a little bit of a Fantastique look.  I see 3 what look like backs though, I wonder if that means they'll pu tout a set of 3 decks with the same theme.  If that's the case I'll be a bit disappointed if they don't go the extra step and put a little something different into the faces of each deck.  I'm also still wondering about the Inferno deck.  Seems like more half-finished products from BBM, but I'd rather a GOOD finished product than a crappy one, so I guess I'll remain cautiously optimistic.

This inspires so little confidence, I'm not sure I can find the words to describe.

If I'm not doing a gambling routine, I almost never use false shuffles for much.  If I do, it's a false overhand shuffle using a jogged card.  Occasionally I will use a zarrow shuffle but only when performing Triumph, because that's the only way I've learned to perform it.

I would have dumped them all into one giant bucket and told the kids to sort through them on their own.  Have a REAL childhood.  No one ever sorted my legos when I was a kid.  I remember having to sift through the giant tupperware bin to find the tiny 1 peg mini piece.  "I GOT ONE!!!  Only 3 more to go!" 

Legos seem to have taken a turn for the worse these days.  You used to only get blocks and stuff, now its like, "Put these pieces together, now attach the dinosaurs head...."  What happened to building the head!?

The average US resident legal to work here holds an average of 7 jobs over the course of their lifetime, last time I checked the numbers.  I'm at more than double that, and I'm still going...

Well, at 23 years old, I guess that puts me ahead of the curve with 15 different jobs in my lifetime.

I'm currently a software developer, and absolutely love my job.  I really don't have a lot of 'bad' experiences with the working world.  I've almost always held jobs that I love with decent pay and fair hours.  The only exception to this would be the summer where I worked door to door sales.  For anyone with enough motivation and determination, I am here to tell you, if you want to make a lot of money, go into sales.  With commission based selling, there is practically no limit to the amount of money you can make.  I make a decent wage now, but I made more doing sales.  I also quit that job because it was an unreasonable strain.  Long hours, hard work, shirt&tie, lots of travel, 6 days/wk, etc.

Perhaps my favorite job ever (aside from dressing up as Chuck E. Cheese, which was unbelievably fun) has to be a toss up between Bartending and DJing.  No I lied, it's bartending.  Fun, Social, and Pays well.

In a professional card game the general idea is to only expose as much of the card as you need to in order to determine the suit/value.  Often times in games like Texas Hold Em' you will see players not even pick up their cards, but merely bend them a little, give them a small spread, and put them back down, for fear of other players catching a glimpse of the card.  The indices (or indexes, I'm pretty sure both are correct) being further from the edge of the card requires players to expose more of the card to determine it's suit/value, which runs a higher risk of flashing your cards to the other players.
