I find it easier to start a change.org petition and then tweet about it. /sarcasm When it is easy to communicate via a medium, it is also easy to ignore it. Synchronous means of communication have always had more credibility, but as th

Not sure why the author is so perplexed about thefacebook.com. Friendster and Myspace were already in existence and popular. Facebook was just another competitor with slightly different features (or lack there of (no customizations))

The original Broadway production was in 1959, with Coltrane's version in 1961. I prefer Coltrane's version, but I love the musical as well.

It's funny, I was thinking precisely of China when I saw the numbers, due to the use of 8s (considered lucky). And here you are, saying the number 4 (considered unlucky) is actually used in China?

Instead of editing what I wrote, I will comment on it. In hindsight, looking back at my MSCS, I think the strongest point of a Masters is not the elevated agree, but the opportunity to focus on a specific field. If you have an interest in A

I believe that a dedication to continuing learning as massively important in our field, so it is something that I always ask every candidate during an interview. Not everyone has time for open-source projects, blogging, what not, but anythi

I also graduated with a MSCS from GT. While I agree that a Masters degree is not a good signal for a job candidate, having Georgia Tech as your last institution of study instead of your potentially "lower" undergraduate program is

Enjoy your time. I dream about going back to Africa. If I had to do it again, I would do it exactly like you are doing, using self-transport. Besides setting your own schedule, you get to pack your own food. Much of Africa simply does not h

From what I remember, the southeast corner, bordering Uganda and Rwanda, is/was the most unstable. Burundi had issues because of the election. Not sure where it stands now. I did not go to Burundi since the travel visa was expensive. I

The far majority of the tech companies are on the west side. Most north of LAX, but there are a few in El Segundo, which you probably know already. Culver City is a good halfway point, especially if you want to avoid the expensive westside

Downtown could definitely use more tech-centric companies. Good luck. Once you have decided, definitely list the exact neighborhood with every job ad. Los Angeles is a big place and most do not want to travel to a far off area.

My first rule of music is that any artist that became popular before the '80s, was terrible in the '80s. Look at Aretha Franklin. Who's Zoomin' who? What? Aretha darling, what were you thinking? There are a few exception
