I'm in the same boat - I had the choice between big-name school at $lots/year and no-name school for $free. Bad decision.

I think they're actively worse than old, normal buttons - the way they run into each other means I have to expend more effort to figure out where the button I want to click is, and then be more careful when I click it lest I hit the wrong o

I use a wiki as a personal wiki, personally. I've become much more organized since I started using it - things that were previously on scraps of paper and miscellaneous text files are now tagged, cross-linked and searchable. I'm not sure wh

When I centralized my contact database about a year ago, I pretty much had no viable choice besides Outlook. Most applications have an "export to Outlook" feature and it's at least pretty decent at contact management.

MARTA is pretty good compared to where I'm living currently (I've been to Atlanta a fair bit). I really wanted to use the buses here, but the third time a scheduled bus just never came, I gave up. And that's hardly the only issue.

In the same vein, the best captcha is not letting anyone sign up at all.

Maybe it wasn't clear, but /more cost effective than plastic/ - which is all that's required. Regardless, if this material is at all viable, like the other comment says the cost will go down anyway as production is further refined and volum

If it in fact does not use petroleum products, the rising price of petroleum will at some point make it more cost-effective. Plus it has other properties that are desirable in some situations, such as a wood-like finish.

I believe that's the older version of what's now "Python for Software Design": http://www.greenteapress.com/thinkpython/ The dead-tree edition is slated for March (which I'm definitely picking up) and the manuscript is free on the site.

The people I know directly also got Google offers as good or better than anything else - keeping in mind this was 2+ years ago.

Let's downmod you instead, for trying to be a wannabe mod. An incorrect comment should be at -1. If it gets lower than that, well that's a shame, but from what I've seen it's more common for it to stay at -1.

I did something similar cost-saving wise at my first job, but the managers didn't have a clue because I had to go around them to get it done in the first place. I did get promoted, mostly because most everyone liked me. Why did they like me

C++ Users Journal was always my favorite, even though I've never seriously used C++. I hope it's still around, I never kept up with it after I moved.

If you read the original post, the supposed "disgruntled employee" worked for lagomorphics, not JournalSpace, and there's no evidence said employee was involved in the data loss, just conjecture by JournalSpace. Flagged for being incorrect

There's no way they won't sell you the parts. Not being on the catalog or website or whatever is pretty irrelevant. You would think he'd know this. Also, you can always have someone make some for you, couldn't be that expensive.

No. It's Chapter 11. Closings for 150 stores were announced last week; if your local stores weren't on that list, they're not going to go (yet).

Pretty much every college (or every technical one at least) has a homegrown system or three. From what I've seen, most students just use Craigslist. I don't see the problem with it.
