Try going to, eg.: google.ca. You'll get the same results, AFAIK, but probably with the standard format.

Ergo, if you are a successful entrepreneur, you are probably an exceptionally intelligent, considerate artist with a proclivity for action. Maybe it was not meant that way, but it sounds to me like over-the-top flattery.

Yep. Written conversations lack the live, non-verbal feedback that one gets face to face, so it makes sense to spend more time thinking about it to make sure that you convey what you want. I also prefer meeting people in person. It makes st

Read the italized subtext below the title. I also got caught by the May 2007 date at first. It might be intentionally misleading.

Nice, I was always turned off by the YC explanations I found, but this did the trick. But the questions that's really not answered is: Is there anything useful for a programmer in pure CS, excluding AI? Does the ability to follow the gory p

Really? I got 2 classes on QM. I got no enlightenment, and it mostly made me feel that we had reached the limits of what one can reasonably attempt with pen-and-paper mathematics. Seriously, how many "corrections" do they need to make in or

Sounds like the Google Blog, only more awkward. MS had "no venture capital owners or cash crunches to limit us" in 1984?

I've been doing programming in science for 3 years now, and Fortran is a huge, huge problem. Fortran is too much like C, and think about how good C is for writing differential equations. There are tons of potential bugs in the programs I se

If they expire sessions in order to avoid losing memory over users leaving without ever calling the closure, their timer seems short for what it gains. The link name "fnid=" is a pretty strong giveaway as to what is underneath.
