I've been competing in the Facebook competition and submitting twice a day. I've managed to drag up into the 90th percentile of scores but I wonder how much the final leaderboard will resemble the daily leaderboard on Tuesday when the comp

I'm a member of the insane gun lobby, and I'd be happy to take you shooting anytime you'd like. I think even if you are against the political stance of the American gun lobby or dislike firearms it's a good skill to be able to safely rende

I don't think Google should be doing this, but this creates a huge business opportunity. When eBay had a similar policy on firearms and firearm accessories it opened the door for GunBroker.com to take that entire business for itself. When

Not to get too pedantic, but you might want to amend that to "9mm handgun" or something similar. Apache helicopter gunships shoot 30mm projectiles! But to address your argument - a large portion of the gun lobby and gun enthusiasts aren't

I gained all of these above qualities by working for 6 years, becoming jaded and burnt out, leaving the PhD program, and then finally repurposing myself. Other than the projects you specifically worked on and the papers you published what

I started picking up Perl (as my first programming language) in 2003 while working in a genetics lab. I used it for years on a number of bioinformatics projects due to its strengths in tackling disparate sources of often irregular informat

I'm nearly salivating at the thought of writing graph algorithms at that scale . . . and actually having the outcome mean something and be acted upon in a timely fashion. It sounds like a dream job to me. That scale and depth of informati

$15,416.00 for the fully pimped version. Sploosh. What kind of multicore Linux box could I build for that? (I love Macs, just not this range).
