I wanted to go work for them someday. :`( But maybe it'll be like how the TellMe deal went. They're still more or less independent.

Asking a corporation to be "good" or moral is like asking a car to be good or moral.

Yeah, ebay + skype seemed silly at the time. Right now it is like $3 a month for me. Even if it was $20 - $30 I still would like it. :)

I dunno. I like my Skype account. Good for calling home. At the office we use it to communicate with our offices in Europe.

I transfered from a technical/engineering school (1,500 students) to a more general state university (20,000) where computer science was not an important and the average student's ability was lower. The real important difference was the cur

Neat. How did you do it? I have a pet project in mind and I want to use LISP.

Hurray for lots of of links! I tinkered with FPGAs in college as part of my digital logic class. I remember reading about Hugo De Garis's work with them and they sound neat.

The hands on approach definitely appeals to me. I've thought about a local community college but the hours are not compatible with work. I guess I could n ot worry about details but part of me is genuinely curious about how that stuff works

I didn't realize that the Hill/Horowitz book also has a companion lab manual. It looks something like I would like to have. Some of the books in the ARRL store look neat, too. Thanks!

This seems like a neat way to break it down. Thanks for your suggestions!

The Arudino looks neat. I will definitely keep it in mind. I have taken digital electronics while in college and do remember k-maps and so forth, so it should hopefully not be too far ahead of me. :) Thanks again!

I've seen the BoeBot and it is quite adorable. I was wanting to put my software skills to a real test, though and I don't know if there is enough space on a BasicStamp chip. But it does seem like a good place to start! Even, still, I need t

I agree and disagree. I don't think that romance is dumb. In fact, courtship and companionship seems like it would be wonderful, sublime. However, reading your other comments about risk and so forth, I can feel myself resigning to agreement

why thank you! I hope this is certainly possible to answer. Theoretically, if someone reads the right books and practices in the right way, along with hefty discipline and focus, one could say they would be very, very familiar with software

I am worried about breadth vs depth issues. It's probably why people get degrees in this. :) I'm sorry if I made it sound like I thought it was trivial. I'm not in any hurry, though; The Hardware Hacking books from O'Reilly are ok but not .

I never ever get past the first phone interview with them. I usually stumble because I forgot some command-line switch or something. The last time they called I said I didn't want to interview since the interviewers often are kind of mean.
