Honestly, in this day and age the fact that you have an engineering degree is a sign that you can get your ass off the couch and strive to become something... not really any sign that you have something cooking in your head. Although, if yo

He's absolutely right. You don't need a degree of any kind to be a software developer. When i was in High School, I've been told that by devs at career fairs just about every time i attended. I always thought it was odd that a company rep a

I just glanced at this story. I'm actually familiar with this family and used to read a lot about them in early 90s. In fact, Peskov used to write pretty frequently about them in "Komsomolskaya Pravda," a very popular newspaper publication

Language-learning is broken and remains to be a VERY complex problem. There are so many factors involved - language complexity, understanding of culture, student's age & ability to learn... I'm convinced that learning a language without

I've been contemplating moving to Seattle. After experiencing both SF (for a short while) and Seattle, i think Seattle offers similar quality of living for far less. So i really hope it's as terrible as you describe it :)

Correct. I think as intelligence comes into play, SkyNet is going to be inevitable for preventative measures. Regardless of intelligence, you'd probably want a data center or a control panel of some sort for software updates, analytics and
