ah, that makes much more sense. If they had been pedaling I was wondering how they got rid of bias since it would be pretty hard to blind the rider as to whether their legs were shaved!

nice simple approach! And despite the previous commenter I don't see a problem with publishing a neat solution to a fairly cursory attempt to prevent automated submissions. If they care enough they can fix it, but the rather simplistic

Sounds nice. I've been trying to use IFTTT for similar things, but it's fairly limited. If you add feedly I'll sign up! I'm still trying to find a nice easy solution to save the full text of RSS items that I mark as &quo

Well, I'm ostensibly in Victoria, but most of June is being spent in SF. If the meetup is somewhere between June 11-18 or in July I'm there, though! (BTW. I help run makerspace.ca and we're moving to the tech park this summer. Lots of cool

If you do this, PLEASE make sure that you are aware of current IRS regulations regarding foreign bank accounts. When I moved to Canada a few years ago this all got rather hairy and ensnarled. They keep introducing new requirements as well -

After 15 years in industry (Compaq, Microsoft, a couple smaller shops) I'm now back working on my PhD and enjoying the hell out of it. Totally different experience than if I had gone straight out of undergrad, though.

Has anyone out there created a utility that will download and delete any gmail messages older than 6 months, storing them only in an encrypted local store?

you should probably get a lawyer to write a letter, unfortunately. Publicity won't hurt, but a legal letter is probably what will make them notice.

bedroom in an apartment or house, sure, but I think you'd be hard pressed to find much in the way of one-bedroom apartments at that price around there. Resist the urge to look out along 101, that highway is a parking lot at rush hour.

This plus the leap motion could be really amazing. Imagine wearing the headset and having it track where you look while the leap tracks your hand holding the gun.

I had a BigCo manager once who gave me some really good advice, that is to publicly let it be known that you are interviewing at least once a year. Now, in your case I'm not sure I'd let it generally be known how much I was interviewing, bu

The US shouldn't fund anymore "wars on" anything. Bad metaphor, bad approach. But a nice targeted NIH funding campaign on ameliorating age-related diseases sounds a great idea.

haha, good question. I went back for my masters a few years ago in exactly that situation (but for the masters rather than a bachelor's degree.) I was SO certain that I wouldn't do anything in CS. I took all my undergrad biology courses, an

if you're too lazy to get good grades you should probably fix that before investing time/money in college. A couple years of working so that you have a clearer idea of WHY you're in college might help.

You can always go back to school. Taking some time out on a startup where you're trusted and valued is rarely a bad move. You should play the school card as a negotiating point, though. I'm usually very upfront in negotiations and would sim
