Don't get me wrong--I'm paying for food and rent--just for many (most?) it's covered in their loans/scholarship/whatever. I guess I wasn't thinking about people who work at the same time, though. (My school requires everyone to be on a me

I'm still not solid on what I think about private companies having the responsibility to provide your data for you if they're closing down, but his bit at the end about the archive team seems... well, brilliant. Hell, it could even be a pa

Chances are, whatever they're building doesn't need to be put in private repositories. If it really does (as in, they're working on commercial stuff), $7 a month (even $12) shouldn't be hard to scrounge up, and I'm an in-the-red student my

"'Big-ticket enterprise ideas that take $50 million to $100 million to get to market are going to be few and far between,' said Dana Stalder, a general partner at Matrix Partners." Is it just me, or did they mislabel the section "Enterprise

I wonder what the root cause of these findings is. It seems to be a combination of attention diversion and something else-- after all, trees and buildings (presuming no extra stuff like birds, shouting neighbors, etc.) seem about equally d

Not that I know of from your profile, but you can always bookmark the page, email yourself a link, or use something like Read It Later ( http://www.ideashower.com/ideas/launched/read-it-later/ ), which saves you from cluttering up the comme

Really, this looks like a rather silly way to put this function together. It doesn't even run in constant time! It might be a little complicated, due to the leap year rules, but it would probably not be too difficult to do this calculatio

"Lots of people can talk about what they'd like to be, very few can confidentially tell you what they're doing about it now." This is a really, really good point. I can't think of very many people who I'd expect to be able to answer. I ca
