   Ooooh! My wife (trained as a chemist) gets upset when I equate information entropy and thermodynamic entropy. I can't wait to antagonize her with this.

   I am thinking more of auto categorization. "programming languages," "art/design", "lulz," "gaming," etc. But certainly with "interesting to me" as a component of each category.

    From my understanding, the iPad continues to use the IP address after the DHCP lease is expired, which could cause other clients assigned that address to be confused.

    Yeah. These are definitely stopwords when reading job postings. Luckily, they're generally applied at the top or even in the title. If you advertise for Ninjas or Rockstars, you deserve every candidate you get.

    It's like surfing. You have to paddle like hell to get to where the wave is going to be, then be standing on the board at just the right time. Once you've missed a few waves, you have a better idea of the timing. There's a lot of things tha

    I don't agree. Often I can be found at my workstation building some contraption out of rubber bands and business cards. "What are you doing?" someone will ask. "Programming. I'll type it in later."

    I prefer Software Developer. The development of software involves much more, on a day-to-day basis, than programming. Some tasks are plumbing. Other tasks are wiring. For exceptional tasks it's implementing some algorithm that can properly

    Our office has a foosball table. Playing a game of foos every couple of hours is a great way to avoid wrist pain. Of course you end up with calloused hands instead. Other remedies: learn to juggle and take juggle breaks every so often. Get
