I shoplifted copies of Adobe software from a bookstore and sold them on Ebay. Eventually I felt bad about this and turned myself into the bookstore owner and paid them back. This was high school. Does that count as entrepreneurial or just p

I was kinda interested when I started reading this thing, but the article assumes you're already a Tim O'Reilly scholar -- the article is devoid of examples of his behavior. Whenever an article makes claims about a figure, I like to have an

Big fan of libreoffice. The Solver in Calc is great. And Calc can do most of the complicated stuff MS Office can. But man is it uggo. They need to get some UX volunteers. On the other hand, there's Google Drive, which is a completely steami

BlackBook is a mixed-integer programming model implemented in OPL/CPLEX (used to be an ILOG product until IBM bought them). So all this stuff about classifiers is off base. This isn't a predictive model -- it's a math program. I don't know
