   Not just the one she liked the best, the one that made the most money. Company paid $650 to give a 3 minute pitch to the students.

   If they want to rebuild it in .NET, it's a lost cause.

   I think more hackers need to watch more movies so they understand some movie quotes.

   Before this I didn't use any package management on OS X, because I didn't like Fink and Macports. But Homebrew is just plain awesome.

   I'm limited by money as well. Perhaps startup school scholarships?

   http://www.icombinator.net/ works great for me, and costs nothing. Also has nifty instapaper functionality which I've grown to live on.

    This is exactly right. This is why I don't understand many of the "just learn online" posts on HN. If you're going to college for only the information, then I think there's no reason to come. However, there is much more offered than just in

    "Never heard of Acsii? It’s a kind of digital art that uses computer letters to paint objects – something like a Lego project but instead of bricks it uses dashes, hyphens, X’s, O’s, slashes, and whatever else your keyboard can come up with

    The latest TextMate update recently released fixes this. Just update, and you're done.

    This would only be correct if Linux users made up 91% of the computing world. It's like if there were articles still posted about how people should get a monitor which displays at a higher resolution than 800x600.

    You're telling the, at most 9% of the rest of us how useless it is. I just don't think it really contributes anything.

    91% of the people that answered attended college. Can we stop with all the "College is useless" submissions now?

    So you read Romeo and Juliet after quite a lot of studies in English (since the first grade).

    This is the problem I had with Linear Algebra. The first half of the class felt like I was just being drilled definitions. But once all the definitions click, it's rather simple.

    We're playing with the notion of letting people filter out based on a percentage away from the average price. That or doing it before we even put the results in the page.

    Because then the page response would take a few seconds. We figured this was undesirable.

    The all category seems interesting, we'll look into it. We've been toying with this idea because of exactly the reason you mentioned. It's even worse if you search something and all the results are $0-$200 except for one that's $1000. We've

    I love working at the Georgia Tech library. Open 24/7 during the business week and it's nice and quite. It's one of the greatest perks of going to Georgia Tech for me.
