whoa - it'll be cheaper for me to fly to Moscow (from DC) and travel to Eastern Europe by rail than actually flying directly in -- by about $420. This is dead useful; thanks for the link!

just got mine this morning — I thought I saw in the editor's note that you had no prior design experience. I don't believe you! =) Looks really, really great. My only criticism is the giant blocks of text — breaking them up with a pullout q

my culture is the same - it doesn't make sense to throw out an 18 year old (child, really), out on their own. I'd have lived with my mom had I not attended college on the other side of the country.

weekly planner. Any will do, really — seeing events/responsibilities on paper laid out for the whole week helps me clear my thoughts and organize my time.

A few years ago before I entered university, my mother purchased me a Mac. I had grown up with PCs all my life, but I blindly believed "it was really preferential for using Photoshop", "artistic", bla, bla. That was when I thought I would g

I'm still trying to figure out how "hackers are like political dissenters" .... =) Amusing read nonetheless. Reminds me why I'm very thankful for the friends I have with similar interests/lingo. Not that I introduce myself as a hacker, but

I don't think first-years are a fair assessment of any institution. Many of the original 90% partiers will either a) shape up, b) drop out of college or c) some other choice. Good luck -- my friend is also a grad student teaching first-year

piece of trash it may be .. but his other book "Angels & Demons" introduced me to CERN. :) It also opened me up to art & art history.

Maybe this woman followed the directions exactly so that she could pursue a frivolous suit against Google. Mostly, I don't want to believe that someone could look at the situation and not see reality.

Also looking for a Linux laptop. Any recommendations/feedback for ASUS models? I'm looking into the K501D-X3 laptop.

I can't either! Does this mean they took apart the software and remolded it to their own purposes (proprietary & doubtful besides), or ar they really using a GIS to show upvotes?

My favorite line was: "Bad design pokes a finger into the eye of thought." He even brought out his iPhone & iPad and commented on the easily-navigated UI. Normal registration was $380 per person, albeit ft students received a $180 disco

Fun fact - Tufte's in Arlington giving a talk and we're taking a 15 minute break right now. Compelling speaker and thrilling read (he's giving away four of his books to every attendee).

> I am not sure that women necessarily have the same attitude towards material objects. Then clearly you haven't talked to enough women. Also, if you believe the only allure of programming is a poorly-paying job and terrible hours, then

that's been the most difficult part for me, actually -- finding fun problems that I could work on that aren't completely impossible. I spent a lot of time reading books on Python when I should have just been playing with code.

for some reason I didn't find this funny ... it's oddly reminiscent of "Punk'd", where Ashton Kutcher places people in awful situations and then pulls the blanket and laughs at how upset they got.

I wonder how the government will define copyright infringement -- does this mean anyone with copyrighted material on their computer will be "banned from the internet"? (also - what does that even mean?)
