   I would poll your professors for a pain point and pick one of those as a problem to solve. May sure it is something they would pay to solve (even if that just means out of their university budget). 1) It would provide you with a "customer"

   I have a friend who has done some really neat stuff with Modern Perl. I think that is the perfect name since it seems to be just using modern methods of development with Perl. So, here is a serious question for the Perl geeks though: Is Mod

   I take a slightly different approach. I use the permutation method for most websites, but then I have long, random, and unique password for the key stuff like banking, primary email, and servers.

   I assume this was a throw-away account for a reason. Do you have experience in this situation? Can you share more about how that played out? Regardless, I think this is a worthwhile strategy.

    Sure, some people get lucky. Hence the "with much consistency".

    We have had some recent ponzi schemes here in Tennessee lately. It seems that one of my friends is being investigated now. I was talking about this with another friend and he said "I am starting to wonder if every investor who beats the ma

    We had an application that was getting interest from a company that wanted to license the tech and add the product to their portfolio. I felt their licensing deal was convoluted and left too much room for us to get screwed. I then picked wh

    I would have posted it as an "Ask NH:" post, but I had already posted about it. The short of it is a site for sharing HOW to use software / services. Similar to http://iusethis.com but for people to share the ways that actually integrate

    Absolutely true. But -4 on both those comments seemed a little extreme too.

    The point being that there is always risk, and if you currently have the end result, there isn't much reason to give that up so that you can make a bunch of money and get back to where you started. This is somewhat related to one of the bes

    Eating and having shelter was a motivator before, not money. Once you don't have to worry about those anymore (i.e. don't need a paycheck, feasibly never needing another paycheck).

    The interesting thing is that if taller and more well-to-do men are more attractive to their mates, would it stand to reason that the average OkCupid user might actually trend lower than the national average, thus making the exaggerations m

    It is interesting that he never directly makes the case that marijuana is bad for the teen brain, just kind of leaves it as an assumption. I don't think that is a fair assumption. At the end he does make a vague reference to pot killing bra

    Following traditional gender roles, the male's job is as a provider. When you start talking about settling down, the reduced ambiguity about future provisions seems to start looking real attractive. YMMV

    I have been using laptops ever since the Pentium 1 days (it was a 133Mhz Thinkpad 310 ED). I have had a few desktops as secondary computers, but having my computer with me has been a way of life for over a decade. That is changing some no
