I'd like to think that this will remove people from an office enviroment and allow people to work from home more. This is probably a bit much for most people, but is there really a need for you to sit at a desk in an office when you can do

That is a great suggestion about the DNA analysis stuff. I think with bandwidth like this, alongside the huge jumps that hardware is making, something like that will be possible in the future. This is actually part of my YC application, to

I'm assuming people here know a bit more about this than I do, so I'll ask. Why is CM still a 3rd party developer? I'm curious as to why Google/Samsung/Motorola etc hasn't bought them out and applied their talent to make the stock setup bet

I have to agree. I had CM7 on my atrix and it saved my phone. I was this close "_" to getting rid of my phone because I was frustrated with the stock OS. CM7 fixed that, and gave my phone the last few months I needed out of it. I just got t

This is a tough one, and it really depends on what YOU want. What exactly did you like/hate about your iphone? That will help people respond to your question. I'll tell you what I tell everyone looking for a new phone. Go play with them. Ho

But my f5 key is almost worn out! :) This makes perfect sense, best of luck getting through the applications and thanks for postponing the applications for those effected by the hurricane.

Someone who tells a hiring agent that they won't be able to pay their rent if they don't get this job. THAT kind of person.

I've got an idea that is fairly simple (initially). Can you share a link or something to work that you have done already? I've got a concept that does not have any code written behind it yet, I'd be willing to see what could be whipped up

Uhh, reading this thread is disappointing. Windows is not a bad OS, it has it's pluses and minus just like OSX. Sometimes I love my windows box, other times I really like my iMac. To blame the OP's issues on windows is short sited, it's li

Agreed. Also, at some level, hearing those responses is a good thing. If I was hiring and someone started crying/complaining about my non-interest, I'd keep their name on file as someone to never, ever hire. Don't want that kind of person w

I'd have to say that software mentors are no different than any other kind of technical mentor. here are 5 things that I look for in a mentor: 1. Good communication skills. This includes knowing how to talk to their student using methods th

Think about it. If you heard "The problem with Democrats is young minority women" what would that mean to you? Right now, nothing, but if you (assuming you are male) were unable to get a prostate exam without spending $18209389012830 wherea

Can of worms = opened. The "n word" does imply racism. I'm not going to write a book about it, but I'll just put that out there for you to think about.

If this was a full scientific study, I'd agree. Lets keep in mind that it isn't, and it's just a reflection of what was actually said. It isn't fair to draw conclusions from this such as "Alabama is a racist!?!?", but the data do still say

I would write a book on this, especially when I worked doing support for a university. Lately though, it's people who say "my computer is slow, I have to delete some icons from my desktop". That, for some reason, just drives me crazy. Ah si

It is pretty well established that exercise can have a huge effect on brain function, specifically through increasing blood flow. Diet will as well, although the mechanisms by which this happens are probably not as well understood. Actually

Hey, sorry I missed this. Actually NSF does have training funds http://www.nsf.gov/funding/pgm_summ.jsp?pims_id=6201 . Be sure to tell your friends about this as it has to be submitted within the first 2 years of grad school (whereas the

I'll add that a lot of them also stick around as they have no other work experience and don't know what else to do. I actually see this more and more, it seems like getting a PhD is the "well, I don't wanna get a real job yet" pathway, whi

It is, and in order to get the gov grant, you need to have data. That data is typically generated by PhD students and Post-docs.

Thanks for that info, I wasn't aware of how PhDs worked in CS. It sounds very similar to Bio with the exception that the department typically has money for their students coming in(the best schools have training grants from NIH which cover

Agreed, one can't say that all PIs work the same, it isn't true. Also, some do have the best of intentions, but don't have the skills to facilitate their student's career. In a sense, each lab is a small business, and I think this is exact

The truth is that there is a lot of variability between PIs and their students. Some see them as lab techs/free labor, others see them as their family. I"m currently sitting in my lab and experiencing both, one PI is really interested in th

I think at some level, everyone was a "hacker" at some point. This is what kids do, they explore things...this is why kids say some awesomely crazy stuff (that is sometimes correct). Why/how people lose this is beyond me. I was actually goi

NIH has recently changed how they deal with grants. They are asking for less methodology information and more of the conceptual info. I support that, especially since most of the methods will be modified throughout the experiment and common
