Does anyone else not trust the data on data.gov? I don't have any evidence to prove otherwise, but I have a feeling that the raw data is tampered with before release... Perhaps its just the fact that the US government really goes out of its

I'm not really a lab person (or I haven't been for years now), but doesn't stuff like this already exist? What does this have that the current technology does not? This is interesting, but you gotta sell it to us!

IMO, it would really help if the main page quickly discussed the differences and similarities between chaiscript, python, and C++. I couldn't find that explanation, but I only surfed the page for 30 seconds or so. Looks cool.

Saying "I don't know" seems like a display of honesty to me... I'd rather have someone reply with "I don't know" than give me a load of bull...

Tell him exactly what you told us. Seriously. If you have as good of a relationship as you think you have, you guys should be able to come to terms.

In a sense, I agree, but I guess I'm applying Apple business practices to Google in my mind. If they create their own operating system, in their own language, they have essentially gained a large amount of control. Given that Google is the

Google is likely capable of creating its own operating system (if you don't already consider Chrome OS a legit operating system).

I kind of disagree. I think PSN actually was attacked by "hackers" (this term still works, even in context of how it's used in this community). They had to be good at what they do to figure out how to get into PSN and steal that data. Howev

Rule number one is you can't learn EVERYTHING from a book. I'd suggest contributing to open source projects and reflecting on what you learned...

I think the key is selling it in a year. A year old macbook retains most of its value. It's actually the same thing with BMWs ;-).

I totally remember seeing these dudes when I visited India. Dabbawallah roughly translates to "box guy" (or in context, "lunchbox guy"). They also have these guys called subgiewallahs who are basically walking farmers markets...

I'm no networking expert, but don't they also note the mac addresses and generally use DHCP for open wifi? If so, they could totally identify folks with that info...

I've found that I've learned the most about "programming" from working on projects. Imagine something you want to build, design it, and then code it. You'll learn tons, I promise. Plus, you'll have something to show for your trouble at the

Maybe there is a more simple explanation. I speculate it is just that computers (and programming) are becoming more of a required skill in many fields. I know psychologists and MBAs who use programming to data mine. I myself am a bioinforma

I got straight A's in high school. One of the most important things I learned in college was how to fail (and if you don't, you aren't working hard enough). College holds some important life lessons, if nothing else. Some people think colle

FINALLY. I bet there is no way to program the phone with it through -- at least not to the extent one could program python on an android phone with SL4A. Someone please let me know if I'm wrong.

I have a feeling this might be a bluff. This scare might just be politics as usual. It just doesn't make sense to cut this, especially if they're saving money.

The number one way to "disrupt" your industry is to offer an expensive service at a SIGNIFICANTLY lower price (while maintaining equivalent quality). There's usually an unofficial cartel no one speaks of and when people start to lose their

Great points, but there are a lot more dangerous things out there to sorghum than a couple of elephants. Elephants are big animals and they would have scared off a number of smaller, possibly more dangerous critters. shock value or not (and

Can we collaborate with random folks or do we need to have a pre-determined group? The former would make things pretty interesting I'd think :-)

When I was an undergrad (about 2 years ago), I'd teach guitar. $30 for a half hour lesson. I had close to 20 students at any one time and would rake in roughly $500 a week with that gig. That ends up being around $24,000/year. Plus it was a
