   Wikipedia partially disagrees: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qwerty It slows you down to prevent jams. The guy's name was Sholes.

   I liked the kleinberg/tardos algorithms book better than clrs: www.amazon.com/Algorithm-Design-Jon-Kleinberg/dp/0321295358. I felt it was more direct.

    You're usually ok if you do not produce a competitor to your day job's business in your spare time. From the sparse info available, the issue here is that he built something that could have been part of the core business of SGN.

    Have you thought about doing a causes-donation type thing where the beneficiary is some advertised cause (eg: ACLU)?

    I just wanted to give a shoutout to thesixtyone which I got hooked on to recently. It seems to be a somewhat similar approach: the user is rewarded with karma points for speculating correctly on the future popularity of a song. I suppose st

    I do not think the idea is pointless. I want something like this. I have a ton of academic papers in pdf format that I find hard to manage. It's the webmynd style augmented memory type of functionality that I would find most valuable.

    For intro books for self study, I recommend Dover publications - around 12 dollars a book.

    Thanks. I read the page and I still don't get it. You might use self.my_function() or self.my_variable. When would you see selfSelfself? Or is Yegge being a poet here?
