Well, you expect the b-school to cost more than other departments, don't you :-).

I'm a CMU alum, and I asked about that once when they were mentioning "space naming opportunities". Very roughly and unofficially speaking, $50,000 gets you a classroom, $1,000,000 gets you a floor or wing, and $20 million gets you a depar

It is certainly a good thing (for speed) that the majority of lines of R are written in C. I used to work in a shop that did much of our development in R. We always used to joke "R is really fast if you write it in C".

My wife feels the same way, actually. But isn't that the market here. It is computer literate people with lots of digital pictures (me), with relatives that want prints (my family). I don't think this startup should worry about the demise

My parents would greatly disagree with you. They're fairly computer literate, but for them photos don't "count" unless they're on paper. I always feel guilty because they never get to see many of my good photos locked away in Aperture. I

Hmmm, I signed up for your service. At the end, it was saying there were 500+ people in line ahead of me. I could spam my social media network to get to the front of the line, for a service I had never used. That was a big turn off for me,

I used the Automattic privacy policy as a starting place as well. I'm having my lawyer review my draft version, which will be a lot cheaper than having her write it from scratch. If you'd like to find other CC licensed privacy policies, yo

I like using ExpandDrive to mount remote filesystems, and then edit using TextMate or some other Mac editor.

The Economist had a good article about this same topic two weeks ago. It seems to be talking about unrelated studies. http://www.economist.com/node/21524698

I paid $4.53/gallon for diesel in Boston yesterday, so I guess we're all good to go on the electrics. (I bought a diesel instead, which does get great mileage.)

You're right of course. However, in covering the crisis people have often referred to a rough north/south divide among Euro countries. I think he was referring to big "northern" exporters like Germany and France, vs "southern" Mediterranea

I certainly don't know anything about this from firsthand knowledge. The credit you cite in ANKOS happened long after their lawsuits and falling out, so there's no way of knowing how things would have transpired if Cook just went along with

If you tried to publish something behind your advisor's back in an academic setting, you'd have a lot to answer for. Hmm, but similarly if I made a contribution to a breakthrough, and my adviser was going to publish it withou

So, as a loyal BBEdit user, I can upgrade for $39.99, compared to the new user price of $39.99. You're really looking after your old customers there. Edit: I paid $30 for upgrading from v8 to v9, so they're actually charging more for the up

I don't think that's right. Their website says this: For your convenience, all Storm on Demand services are billed hourly. This flexibility allows you to create and destroy Storm Servers as you need them, and only pay for

That's exactly why I use Fastmail.fm rather than Gmail. I pay them some small amount of money each year, and in exchange they provide actual customer support. Nothing ever has gone wrong, but they're there if I need them. Incidentally, th

That's what I do. Being the overly honest person that I am, I go through and total up all my Amazon purchases for the year. They should really have a way to compute the total automatically. It always takes me a while to do it by hand. But

Ah, sorry, I didn't mean a grid in a table. I meant a "snap to" grid so you line up elements like you were using 960.gs, for example. Also, control+click isn't working for me (Firefox 5/Mac).
