The HOPE scholarship, if you're referring to the one in Georgia ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HOPE_Scholarship ) is still alive. I went to school, getting full tuition plus a book and fee stipend for my undergraduate degree. Eligibility be

One of the arguments for shopping across state lines is changing the risk profile. There are certain conditions that are more prevalent in certain states or regions (e.g. obesity in the "deep south"). Another argument is that states individ

I've paid penalties for an IRS mistake. I submitted my returns, and the IRS said "We found a mistake, here's $300 more than what you thought we were going to refund you!". A few months later I got another message from the IRS. "You made a m

Total compensation or salary? I'm pretty sure mechanics are paid a base + commission of the sale. The less time they spend fixing the car the more commission they can make (as they move on to the next car). It's an incentive to work. If the

I think you just re-invented the cell phone data plan in the US. You can sign up for a dataplan with XGB, or you can have 0GB and pay per MB at a much higher cost. Your baseline pricing of $10/month is analogousness to the minutes that you

I don't understand this. I've used jQuery.sparklines before, which I thought was HTML5, so I double checked that implementation, albeit with Chrome dev tools. It appears to be a canvas, but still has interactivity. http://omnipotent.net/jq

Still, you've got proof with this that someone is at least less than honorable, even if you can't legally force anything to happen.

I agree. Version control (let alone DVCS), bug trackers, and other sort of organizational skills aren't taught at school. You might know if them if you did something in your personal time, or you had some friends that introduced it to you d

There's some coworkers of mine like that. They report to someone remotely, or they're responsible for a team that is entirely remote from them. Your metrics for success have to be a lot more thought out, and there's always frequent interact

This looks like the "RAM SAN" products, where there's a bunch of memory and some spinning disks with enough local battery backup to flush to disk. I think the main difference is that they want the data aggregated across multiple machines, w

I agree. The models are different. While a music artist can somewhat justify piracy rates via concerts and merch, there's no concert equivalent of a $300 million blockbuster movie. The future is probably going to be in moderate DRM, like St

When you get to a certain size, there's a limit to how much you can pre-stage and test. Sometimes you just have to roll it into production and hope you didn't miss anything in the planning. That doesn't seem to be the case here, but it's po

Besides the obvious (lignuist's post is good) One thing my friend did with naming his service was to ask his friends about the names. Two weeks later he called them back up and asked: What was the name of the service I asked you to name? He

I agree with this. When you get to a certain size, while fingers work, pens are much better because the system will placed on a table. Fingers on a touchscreen of certain size will probably stick within the kiosk realm, or game. You can do

For full redundancy, yes. You get redundant power supplies by plugging both into the same power feed. However, you can gain some extra redundancy by plugging each power supply into a different circuit, and reducing the common point of failu

I'd agree with some of this. HS resumes are going to get binned unless you prove otherwise. Your resume might be decent in getting a "high school" job like a supermarket, but it's still not great. I think the Software Dev Club VP could be s

Our program was called "Accelerated Reader" or AR. Other schools may have different program names. I know the accelerated classes went through 3 or 4 renames.
