Sure, but if it's against school policy, the school has the right to expel you. Coursera is not taking the public code down, the owner is, at the coercion of the school. The student is making a value decision: continue the course or take my

Yeah, to command six figures, you've either many years (10+) of experience under your belt, a masters + experience or you're applying in NYC or LA/SF where cost of living is astronomical. In the midwest, you'd be hard pressed to find a star

He also said that in airports, a full scan also scans the sides of the person, in which case the video producer would not have gotten through. So... how often is a "Full" scan done?

Because DS is not just CAD. They want to brand themselves as a 3D platform, not a simple engineering product. This opens doors to be a 3D platform for designers, architects (see LiveBuilding), consumers, etc.

Jonathan Coulton comes to mind. He left his boring job as a programmer to pursue music as a way to make a living. He does not sacrifice family time for his "dream", but provides an example of a dad doing something he enjoys to make money fo

People who worked for the same company all their life did it for the pension. Those companies tended to care more for the people that worked for them. Those were the good-old-days when people were valued.

I think the most important part of being a father who works is keeping strict boundaries between work and home. When I am at home, I am at home. When I am at work, I am at work. The kids know that M-F, dad's gone at 7am and home at 4:15. Th

I can chime in as I just purchased ViEmu. It's really wonderful to have all the Vim bindings present in studio (and the rest of Office!). I haven't noticed any speed issues and I haven't noticed bugs (yet), but I've only been using now dail

I have started to put a clause in my own contracts that's paraphrased like so: I do some work for you and submit it to you for verification. You have x days to verify it. If you fail to verify it or tell me a scheduled date for verification

This looks like a great frontend for FUSE (or MacFUSE by Google, http://code.google.com/p/macfuse/ ). I think you guys nailed the user experience because FUSE can be really difficult to setup for n00bs.

Yes, very deceitful way to gain "supporters". I just wonder how many companies on that list were duped into signing something like this.

What I really find remarkable about Mr. Jobs is that he lived without extravagance. I am impressed by his desire to teach his kids to be "normal" and I am astonished that he was there for his family first and foremost, valuing love and fun

I'm not saying it's good or bad, all I'm saying is that it was Larry's choice when developing the language. Here's a great example of C++ meaning different things in different contexts. How about this: int *& p; *&p;
