Oh, nm, I found it deep in their FAQ. Philadelphia? Yikes! (Not saying anything bad about Philadelphia, but it's not exactly known as a startup hub. You really do want to minimize the odds against you in a startup situation.)

I would order the "restricted asian edition" textbooks on-line for about a quarter of the normal price. The quality is not as good, but the content is certainly there. I never exactly understood the legality of doing this, but it's certainl

Games won't be able to compete on art and graphics for long. Look at Crysis--it's nearly photorealistic. Once the curve of graphics improvement reaches its asymptote, developers will have to start innovating on gameplay.

Don't you have friends in your program to consult for advice? Assuming you're not in that program, isn't there any kind of forum for Stanford students to discuss classes? It seems like YC is unlikely to give you the feedback you are looking

This is interesting. I plan to move out to San Jose in mid-July to do FT at IBM. Would you mind sending me more info., namely where in San Jose you're located and what your project is all about? adambossy [at] gmail [dot] com

If your startup is addressing a true pain in a market, then you will have customers for your product. Too many startups ride economic waves and produce little added value to their customers. They simply survive because there is excess fundi

Wow, I am surprised #13 is listed as a 1-star problem. I was told a story about this problem by a professor while in class. Supposedly, Edgser Djisktra couldn't sleep one night due to jet lag. He was currently going through a phase in which

Agreed--the finances claim is outrageous. What people don't understand is that there is SO, SO MUCH MONEY out there!!! You just have to find it!!! There are scholarship, grants, loans, work study, tuition waivers, in all shapes, sizes or fl

You are telling me that I have to learn to code in Javascript? Are you serious? I've been avoiding Javascript for years. Abstractions such as libraries make this possible. This seems like a step backward. What I saw "Make Simple Web Apps A

Please don't misinterpret my post -- it wasn't intended to bash certain majors. I should have pointed out that many fields are a "catch-all," i.e., those which students default to that either lack direction or greater ambition in their stud

I am missing your point; the people running UT have the 10% rule in place to achieve the exact opposite effect: to increase diversity within the student body. Therefore, I believe you mean to say that anybody BUT whites would disappear, i.e

I've been getting the same feeling at UT Austin for a long time. At UT Austin, there is a 10% rule that has crippled the standard to which students are held. The 10% rule states that any student in the top 10% of their graduating high scho
