Hey man, sorry to hear. I really hope things work out for you. I really do. But, even if things go south for a long time, I sort of envy you. At least you've tried. I haven't done shit. I keep wanting to try. At least I can

Whenever I hear about young people asking for advice, it invariably turns into a conversation about regret, etc... And, in hindsight, yes, I wish there were LOTS of things I knew when I was 25. However, I wouldn't have learned any of

If you guys think this is a travesty, look up felony murder. I think it's unconstitutional, and people have been sentenced to life because of it.

Well, don't they say that the litmus test for romantic relationships is travel? Man, they learned how to swim in the deep end.

I concur. I went to both countries, and I'm a damn foodie. I remember my cousin coming back from NZ 10 years ago saying it was awesome but the food sucked. I went there, and I was like, WHAT THE HELL WAS HE EVEN TALKING ABOUT?!?! Ne

Wow, so 2GB of data for just $15 a month? How do I get that as a pre-paid plan? I currently spend $30 a month for 5GB of 4G data. I rarely even go above 1GB. I would kill to have just 1GB of data for only $10 a month.

I took orgo as an undergrad from a brutal professor. His name is Marcus Tius, and he is legendary at UH Manoa for being hard. He got his Ph.D. in organic chemistry at Harvard from EJ Corey. Most people on here probably don't know wh

Not nearly as much as before. I think for the most part, most equities are fairly valued and even over priced. Although, I still do like some BAC warrants. Some of the insurers and reinsurers look undervalued (most are trading at 75% of

Yeah, I've suspected this for a long time. I'm 40 years old now, and my cousins and I used to collect comics when we were in elementary school all the way to high school. We sometimes would buy collector's items off the top

California? What about Hawaii? They are by far the lowest in almost every single category.

Thanks for the response! Yeah, after doing more research, I realized that the Synergy plane would guzzle way more gas than your plane. However, I think it's a dual seater vs. the Sky Craft plane. I would need a dual seater to haul m

That's awesome. I was thinking about buying a personal plane to fly back and forth from Canada to California. I came across this, though: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GcDIXDRBJis It's called the Synergy plane,

It's like being forced to live in a small town. Some people (actually, I'm betting a lot) can't deal with it.

The entire process is tough. Once you leave tenure at one university for another, you must go through that entire process again. And if ONE faculty member does not like you for some bizarre reason or another, you will not gain tenure. Th

I know what you're saying, but I also feel that one needs to consider the perspectives. Like they say, grass is greener. He was just not into Hawaii, and I don't think there is anything wrong with that. Personally, I hated livi

Yes, that was definitely the original intent of tenure. However, times have changed. I believe most professors just want good pay and benefits. I'm sure most would be willing to exchange tenure protections for this along with better

Ah, good ole web archive! Forgot about that. So, I went digging through, and I made a mistake. It's not on his ramblings site. More of it is located here: http://web.archive.org/web/20120201172033/http:&#x

My wife is in academia. Although, not in the ivory towers. She's at a community college in California, and she's both on the tenured faculty track and administration as a program director. So, her experiences may not speak enti

Man, this question makes me feel old as hell--I'm 40, btw. It reminds me of the time when my friend's daughter asked what the car window handle was for. I was like, it rolls the windows up and down. She thought it was a new thi

I am currently going to school to study occupational therapy--which is predominately a female dominated profession. Why did I do it? Frankly, I was getting burned out on tech, and I've always wanted to try health care out without hav

Well, to be fair, this guy we're referring to DID come to IBM from the CrossWorlds acquisition. Which, at the time, was a start up. So, I really don't know.

This is why I'm leaving the field for healthcare at the age of 39. I saw the writing on the wall when I worked in SV for over 10 years. I saw how young most of the employees were at most of the start ups and smaller companies. I saw

Those demoscene guys are probably some of the most impressive programmers I've ever seen. It's amazing the kind of visual displays they can produce with just 4kb or 64kb of code.
