I'm surprised that admission into Computer Science PhD programs is so competitive. I would think that with the strong job market for computer scientists, there would not be as many students who would want to make the commitment to a Ph

There is no technical limitation. You can do as many incremental backups as you want and are not forced to do a full backup after the initial one. As a practical matter though, I've found it's a good idea to occasionally do a full

For comparison's sake, I recently rented a 10x10x10 ft. storage unit for $90/mo. or $0.09 per cubic foot per month.

Wow! So his claim in the other indictment wasn't just a silly negotiating tactic. And he admitted his involvement to another person solely to try to save a few bitcoins when he allegedly had $80 million worth in his account! An amount

Many adjunct professors are people who have full-time jobs doing something else. A friend of mine did this one semester to make some extra money. He worked full-time as a structural engineer, but took a long lunch three days a week to teach

I'm not sure how you prove that you are partially disabled for any job that is primarily mental rather than physical. For example I once worked with a guy that was a lead software engineer. Shortly after he was hired, he got into a car

I don't know if the rules have changed since I was in college, but I actually did have to take an online test showing I understood the nature of student loans before my loans could be approved.

Be careful about this assumption if you are working at a small startup. I recently changed jobs and was not eligible for health insurance for the first month in my new job. I thought "Oh, that's fine. I'll just pay for a mont

Love your sites! They are very well done. I'm curious as to how you are creating the fonts. Did you use a programming library or did you dig into the font format specifications yourself? Also, this is just a minor suggestion, but I wou

Have you tried Duplicity ( http://duplicity.nongnu.org/ )? I use it for backups and think it's great. You can even backup directly to Amazon S3.

You are absolutely right about the small niches. What the public hears about is a tiny fraction of the successes (and failures) that are actually out there. If you are lucky enough to find a profitable niche then you don't invite compe

I use a technique like this when I am stuck trying to write code and can't figure out how to do it efficiently. I ask myself "what is the worst possible way to implement this function?" and start writing that. Sure enough, that gets my mind

I had a similar experience when I was 14 years old. At the time I was running a very popular trivia web site that had been featured on Yahoo and in a few magazines. A guy e-mailed me and said he liked my site. He asked if he could pay me a

The Navy has an SBIR solicitation out for this topic, but it does not necessarily mean that it is going to put up $1MM. Phase I funding is small (less than $100k per award) and sometimes no Phase II contracts are awarded for a topic. Of cou

I've long given up on expecting a reply when I send in a resume. What amazes me is how rude some people are after you've taken the time to interview with them. Like you mentioned, some will not even dignify you with a quick reply to let you

I read another article about this acquisition that linked to this Gizmodo article from 2010 that was openly mocking him after naming his app "worst app of the week": http://gizmodo.com/5830076/how-i-made-a-15+year+old-app-deve... Nice to

And don't bother registering because you will get a ton of e-mail newsletters you don't want. Trying to unsubscribe from them is like playing whack-a-mole because they subscribe you to so many different lists.

I think their "mini mall" strategy is interesting, but I have my doubts if it will work beyond being a novelty to buyers in the short term. If a brand is strong enough to support having its own store, why wouldn't they just open up a store

I can't remember the name of it, but there is a company that does something similar for shipping delays with UPS and FedEx. A company that ships a lot of packages can get thousands in rebates since a percentage of those deliveries will prob

I have never understood this either. These procedures must be a relic from a time when most people did not have access to laser printers. Similarly when I went to renew my drivers license, they required proof of my social security number.

I think they are just using this as a way to advertise the NFL video product (which seems like it is not selling very well). When you tell a bunch of armchair football experts "This is for experts only. You may not be able to handle it.", m

Not only that but I believe JSTOR has settled with Aaron Swartz and is not pressing for further prosecution.

Congratulations on your success! I wouldn't sell RollRover short. I don't have an iPhone to try it, but from the video trailer it looks like a fun and well-made game.

My first thought is that it would do the opposite: increase political pressure on Bitcoin so that it may become more difficult to use (legally). This would drive down the price since many buyers are speculating on Bitcoin becoming more main

Google must have read my mind. I was just looking for this feature earlier in the week. It surprised me that I couldn't add a comment to a spreadsheet like I could in a Google Doc.
