   Going to be another person to chime in to say Dropbox is awesome. I use it for passing podcast recordings back and forth with my cohost (while we're editing), as well as hosting and backing up arbitrary photos, HTML, and presentations. I

   This doesn't sound remotely right. If n is the number of elements, k is the number of distinct elements, and its O(n + k) as the author describes, k is trivially bounded by n (you can't have more distinct elements than you do elements). R

   Nice collection, would be awesome if there were a way to submit solutions online and have them tested.

   Maybe that's true of "pop" (whatever the heck that means) music, but I think it's a legitimate statement on musical quality. For example Springsteen just released an entire album of songs that he wrote back in the 70's but never published,

   CLR has been "replaced" by CLRS (added an author, can't recall his/her name).

   Sure, but would it be larger than the "check for addons" endpoint, which is still PHP?

   Probably, until Mozilla moves their "check for addon updates" endpoint (which gets hit everytime any Firefox window is opened) gets migrated anyways :)

    They're not new though, just the next generation. The previous one had places like IBM and AT&T employing researchers in this manner.

    I get email from Google recruiters every couple of months, you'd think they'd lay off now that I've told them a few times I'm a full time student... and will be for another year and a half. I've also been pulled in for a contracting job, b

    Two of my cousins own a vending machine business and for certain products they do the same thing (buying out Sam's Clubs). Why? Sam's Club volume is so much higher than theirs that even after Sam's Club tacks on their markup, it's cheaper

    > indirect contributions via the Google Summer of Code program. That's indirect?!? It's basically a strait up $5 million a year investment in open source.

    FTR the relevant supreme court case is Gonzales v Raich, which says the commerce clause covers marijuana grown in California, sold in California, and consumed in California. Passed by a conservative SCOTUS no less :).

    Eldarion is hiring Django developers (and freelancers). We're a web development company, and you'd be primarily working on client websites. We're big contributors to open source (every single one of senior developers is a committer to Dja

    I don't think so, I'm 20, and I remember when I was 12 or so I had friends that spent hours talking with each other on the phone at night, now I'm pretty sure they spend it on Facebook chatting. I'm not convinced there's been any fundament

    You're conflating two completely unrelated failings. For example you ignore the fact that in the US the SAT/ACT carry large weight with most schools, and you know what? It's a terrible predictor of college success. Contrary to the this p

    +1, you can tell how valuable it because I always end up crying when I'm trying to track the history of something and it turns out the change is from a branch merge that wasn't properly tracked, and thus you can't get the precise commit tha

    > stealing Debian's work That's a completely unfair statement. I wasn't aware following the license of an open source statement constituted stealing.
