If you were a police officer or a fireman, would you not date because you might get injured on the job and you'd want to spare them the grief? See how ridiculous that sounds? I enjoy relationships not for the length of time I'm with someone

If you have not reviewed some of the material and definitely do not know it, you should cram more. Otherwise, you will miss these parts for sure, right?

I think that undergraduate admission is more chance than graduate. By the time you enter graduate studies, you have a lot more time to distinguish yourself from other applicants.

Just list the titles of the classes -- they are impressive enough. Put your GPA instead of your grades if it is good. Emphasize your projects the most -- if you have a good GPA, you need to distinguish yourself b/c lots of people have good

The best way for me to study for test was to read through a lot of worked out problems. This works great for the short term, but not for the long term. Retention from reading is a lot less than from doing. Sure, you may learn programming fa

The only thing that I wonder (and fear) about this piece -- is whether this is the only slant on the story that Chinese citizens will be allowed to access.

Here is a really great blog by someone who made it into a game, with challenges for himself and simple stages. Maybe you can find some inspiration through his posts: http://socialskydivingwithjustin.posterous.com/ Also, a trick that I use

It all depends on how it is implemented. After all, you could take regular grades and assign points to each grade -- and the two systems would be equivalent. The big question for me though is exactly as you point out. Engineering projects,

I'd guess that tipping is mostly a socio-cultural thing -- it is expected; it would be considered rude not to. In addition, peer pressure is a factor -- unfortunately, I doubt that I would tip as high as I do or as often as I do if I didn't

There was a lot of debate on this surrounding the original OKCupid blog post. In summary, it is subconciously racism. I may not find people of a certain race attractive. However, let's say that I become good friends with some people of that

Using broad statistics to say that black women have fewer options may not be the right approach. Black women who use the Internet and OKCupid are probably far less likely to have incarcerated, unemployed men in their social circles. If you

No way, I buy lots of eBooks. I consider them a cheap education, especially with some of those great $10 deals that some publishers have for modern titles (e.g. friends of ED, Manning).

Definitely. I got an even better deal than Dan by joining Crunch over the summer (including no enrollment and month-to-month). Part of the appeal is definitely the "exclusivity" via the pricing -- in LA, for example, the nearest (location-w

One possible method: Blood from donors is checked for HIV. If the person ends up having HIV, ask the person if he/she was aware. Then account for the people who normally wouldn't give blood.

When you get new customers, tell them that you give discounts for the first job so they can see what a good job you do. On the invoice, put your real rate minus a discount. Then, the next time they ask for your services, charge the real rat

Regarding "CPU hogging," there is nothing wrong with a graphics-intensive program using the CPU -- in fact, this is necessary to continually refresh the screen. It only gets out of hand if the software does not give time to other applicatio

jeff18, I would be interested in hearing your rebuttal to Myth 5. I agree with you that Adobe is not pushing HTML 5, but it does still seem to be uncertain just how much support Adobe will give HTML5 via Flash and their other products.

According to the below article, U-Haul has to pay someone to drive the truck back, which makes the price more expensive. That sounds like a horribly inefficient system though! The article also contains some city migration statistics which s

I agree. There is absolutely no security on buses in the US, and there are virtually no attacks/hijackings. However, hijacking a plane: (1) requires very few terrorists, (2) can destroy major landmarks, and (3) has a huge impact on the nati

I agree, but if you wait until a platform gets to be ultra-popular before developing, the chance of great success is much lower. It's classic risk vs. reward. Apps aren't that difficult to make, so taking early risks on platforms like Faceb

Here's my opinion on fads -- you gotta take a risk BEFORE they're ultra-popular and make sure that some of the first apps available for them are yours. Then, as the apps market becomes more saturated, either: (1) diversify by developing LOT

I finished the game in an hour or two. Fun, innovative concept. The final level was the hardest for me. Some of the levels feel like the authors just put them together arbitrarily to overwhelm, but there are a good amount of easier "fun" le

I don't understand why it is assumed that the author's royalty should DECREASE for e-books. If anything, the author's words are even more important than before! I suppose that e-books give publishers an opportunity to renegotiate contracts
