Sounds a lot like 94 Labs... if I'm right, I feel bad for you guys. I was at the "demo day" this fall. So terrible.

Most (all?) of the law firms that had been on the original list have been removed. I see you mark them as needing confirmation. Here's confirmation for Davis Wright Tremaine LLP: http://twitter.com/#!/DWTLaw/status/150019649130606592

I believe them. Once upon a time I worked as a legislative aid in the WI State Senate. I saw this type of thing happen a few times where some overzealous lobbyist or staffer fudged the list of supporters for some controversial legislation.

I was extremely alarmed to see our firm, Davis Wright Tremaine LLP, on that list and immediately emailed my attorney (a partner) about it. Turns out two of their attorneys agreed to lend their names AS PRIVATE INDIVIDUALS and made it clear

Well quit griping about the lack of involvement and go tell some people about it to help increase the number.

Happens to all of us. :) I remember the first time I saw an image data struct that specified bits per pixel, image width and then also had bytes per row. I was a bit perplexed about why you'd store bytes per row if you could just compute it

Yes ending flagrant abuses is the stated goal of the bill, but the methods it uses toward that end leave lots of unintended consequences which will be very, very damaging. Those in support of the bill either haven't taken the time to unders

And for some things, "nearly as fast" isn't nearly fast enough, and in some cases (eg. media processing) you still need the very tight control over the CPU that C gives you.

The European university tradition on which Harvard was created treated Latin and Greek as the languages of learning. At the time a college education included a rigorous treatment of the classics (Latin) and philosophy (Greek). The belief wa

Personally, I missed the course I wanted to do, started something else, dropped that and finally ended up doing a computer science degree (which was something I'd ignored for 3 years) I had a very similar experience that took this geeky c

It can. What helped me was learning that depression is a physical phenomenon resulting from trained signaling pathways in one's brain that can be observed and retrained. That's what CBT attempts to do, but learning some of the science behin

If we say hackers are those who use their skills and technology to accomplish something difficult, Steve Jobs is one of the greats. He used technology to make technology usable, and that's one of the greatest hacks of all.

You do not want to open that door. At least as it currently stands a fair number of states aren't yet completely owned by corporate interests and so you can at least operate in some of them. Congress is. If congress got involved you would g
