   I agree. Where I work, we run weather and climate models, and These models generate 100's of gigabytes of output in a short amount of time. Regarding "data being generated", these models output 3D data sets of weather/atmospheric related

   Yep, I sure did. Damn, I shouldn't post before 2 cups of coffee have been consumed. Sorry guys.

   My wife isn't a programmer, but understands some of the stuff I do at a high level. I think that it makes conversations much more efficient. I can come home bummed out a little, she asks "what's wrong?", and I tell her that my code keeps

   Does anyone know of an application of M/R to non-text data like image data or time series data? I'm trying to think about how to process a hge set of 3D atmOspheric data where we are looking for geographic areas that have certain favorable

   I wish I had friends like you guys. :( The kind of conversations that I have with them range from mind numbingly boring to suicide inducing.

   Here is a copy of the field labels on the 'register' page: Username (4-13 chars.) Password (7+ chars.) Repeat Password Email

    OT: Why do sites impose these arbitrary limitations on username and passwords? I have a standard username/password that I use for sites that don't require super-tight security, and they don't work with their policies. It sort of makes me

    I'm in a somewhat similar situation. Where are you located? I'm in Northern VA. Let me know if you are interested in talking about some ventures. I have a BS/MS in Computer Science, working in an applied science group, and I want to bui

    Since kindle books are cheaper to create, store and deliver, and the fact that these books cost almost the same as the dead tree version, do the authors get a larger cut of the profits when a kindle book is sold compared to when a paper boo

    Wow, thanks for the tips. I'll certainly investigate the Lisp Machine. I played with newLISP a while ago and ended up writing a visualization tool for a project at work. I'll revisit it. I think I'll look for a SICP group to help keep m

    I have SICP (it's been on my shelf for a couple years - I'm sure I'm not the only one). I started going through it while in school for my M.S. and working full time. Needless to say I didn't get to dive deep. I've been through PCL, ANSI CL

    If anyone would like to talk about a possible collaboration, let me know. It would probably be impossible for a single person to do this (well).
