Duke, UNC, and NC State are all good, with othe smaller colleges in the area as well - and the NC School of Science and Math (high school for gifted/talented math/science) is worth including, too. I think the IBM campus in RTP is its large

In addition to the ideas for what do to while driving, consider avoiding driving during rush hour to cut down on the time it takes. Even if your work schedule isn't flexible, this might still work for you. Depending on what kind of exerci

I think posts to pay-per-view stuff ought to reflect that in the title. Knowing this is out there for purchase has value, just like knowing a new book on whatever topic was available for purchase would have value - and the site as a busine

I 2nd this completely re: Twisted documentation. When Twisted's communication via their documentation has been so lacking/off-putting/etc., it is hard to feel sympathy for a Twisted guy complaining about the lack of communication from peop

I really like this response. Not that I didn't like the study - it made no claim of proof, just support, and was a neat idea. Too often we see this kind of thing written up in articles or blogs with only the one interpretation w/o conside

It's funny that newspapers think search engines are the problem. The real problem, it seem to me, is that most stories of any value that I find in a Newspaper are AP wire stories - and regardless of which Newspaper or other source I go to,

I recommend Python in a Nutshell, 2nd Edition by Alex Martelli. It is very concise, without the newbie stuff, and does point out some specifics that might surprise someone coming from Java and other languages. It's a good Python library r
