" ... covers four years of math in two semesters."
Otherwise, that "will he die a virgin ?" quip was really uncalled for.
- protomyth 16y agoThat quip is pretty much why I don't subscribe to wired anymore. Showing contempt for the audience is not a good thing.
- joeycfan 16y agoWell, Wired regressed to the mean, just like everything else does. I thought they were basically over when they stopped being bi-monthly (thought I still have every issue.)

- zach 16y agoRob is quite a character, but there's no question he has a huge heart for this kind of stuff. He was an organizer of Spaceset at JPL when I went there in the 90's. It was basically a space-colonization-themed mock Startup Weekend for high schoolers. And that's when he was plenty busy as the president of BSDI: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berkeley_Software_Design http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berkeley_Software_Design I'm pretty impressed to see him coaching this. The guy is indefatigable.
