I have an undergraduate degree that's completely unrelated to CS and I want to go back to school one day for a master's in CS. Is research experience also necessary for a master's at a good school (like UCs)? Or will industry experience a

My old roommate used to be a tab whore -- it got so bad that eventually every time he opened up firefox a million tabs would try to load up and temporarily kill our bandwidth. Anyway, I don't know how many tabs you keep open but I'm sure a

I doubt google will agree with their terms. Youtube is arguably as guilty as thepiratebay, megaupload, and etc for harboring illegal content...google is not going to set up a potential argument to delist youtube (themselves.) Also if googl
