I am curious as to why you would hate matlab so much other than the clunkyness. EDIT: And of course cost/openness Matlab works very well for many disciplines and the shear amount of documentation make it very easy to use for people who are

Most often you'll find templates for excel and such, there is also a program that comes with one of the microsoft office suites (more than likely a business class one) that can create gantt charts pretty well but I can't remember the name

The thing about working for free is you really don't have to do it and if you do require this work to be done for one reason or another you really aren't working for free (or nothing).

That second graph looks as if no scaling choices were made and the person just randomly chose to put spacing in.

Both maps clearly state 3G coverage in the ad and do not say network coverage anywhere in it, why even go for a lawsuit like this?

Kind of interesting with the lack of communication when you look at comments like this http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=906820 (left parent for context)

He is most definitely not speaking like TV and movies are the real world as your quote seems to make out. I also tend to stay away from fiction other than the occasional short story and find that autobiographies and other forms of non-fict

Maybe you were just in the wrong degree as I've seen different studies are catered to different kinds of students (though the going to class thing is a motivation issue.)

It also works in the reverse order as my professors who fill in for those who take sabbaticals are those that work at the national labs near here as well as the engineering companies. Though these professors are a bit harder to reach than

I don't like long self posts as the colour/font is much harder to read than say default wordpress blog or posterous posting.

Well that is terrible, why would that be an official solution rather than reverting back to old font rendering system or removing a specific font that is causing issue. This is like setting a banking website to use a non readable font using

I took a hybrid course which is online but you meet with a real teacher once a week and my biggest problem was that we used blackboards software to do discussions and such and it was a terrible experience. It made me wish I had just taken a

I think you've missed how the computer world works, sure people still program in fortran but that doesn't mean it is still at the same working extent. cobol -> c++ -> java actually happened pretty quickly and I'd expect when a usefu

Maybe for the same reasons you offered: readability and easy to look at. Some modern monospaced fonts are rather nice to look at, Consolas for example, and the ability to distinguish between 0O1l easily is an advantage for some fonts withou

Some or most of this may be related to how complicated modern mathematics has become, I know at my college there are 6 undergraduate mathematics degrees to choose from (in regards to specialty) and only grows when you move into graduate sch

That is very interesting, it probably works well for communities where minimal investment is needed (your 2000 US) but in many more rural towns it just falls under. Such as for the house I am at right now, a well was dug for water a septic

It is obvious that gruber is an avid mac user from his posts and generally dislikes windows as many mac users due but this: But Windows is proof that popularity doesn’t guarantee market-leading quality. Makes me wonder what market

Okay sure a few people did crosswords but I'm talking like 50 percent of the students having their computers out on facebook and playing dumb facebook games. It is distracting to me who ends up sitting in the middle of the class cause my ot

In other facebook news everyone in my freshman level class spends the whole lecture on facebook on their computer and is very surprising to me that the teacher doesnt ban computers from the classroom. ( When I started 2 years ago no one eve

Actually the human body is quite good at muffling explosions and would require a substantial amount of explosives to cause large damage outside of ones body. edit: Here's a Schneier post on such a bomber: http://www.schneier.com/blog/archi

My brother goes to a school where they use computers to work through lessons at their own pace. There are humans lecturing (kind of a youtube with powerpoint split video) and they solve the questioning problem by having teachers for each s

See the real problem with that is I am probably neither fun nor witty and probably wouldn't be able to handle creating a fake world and exploring said world. I couldn't even play WoW when a friend bought me an account (but thats probably m
