I got into Google from Iowa State. But then, I was an employee referral because of someone I met interning at Microsoft. I don't think I would have gotten the Microsoft interview coming from Iowa State if I wasn't a girl. Microsoft hired fo

My university copied one of MIT's old versions of Athena, and called it project Vincent. It was fantastic, so far ahead of anything else I'd seen in 1998. Too bad they started to phase it out and lessen support in favor of a big microsoft n

I agree this article was a little weird. But it can be hard to make friends across economic disparities. You can't join them for lunch out, or a weekend ski trip, or chip in towards the keg. The one red paper clip guy worked because it was

I was just looking for an easy way to set up my website monitoring to call me when it's down. This may be it. It does seem a little expensive though, and I don't like credit systems, they just seem slimey for some reason.

Wow. We did the linked list and data structures course freshman year. After that it was all compilers, computability, writing schedulers for micro controllers, designing a processor in verilog, etc. Lots of really cool stuff I mostly haven'

I went to Iowa State University. The tuition was 1300 a semester when I started, and 1800 when I left. All national merit scholars get a full ride, including room and board. And the engineering college had plenty of scholarships for women.

Seems more like Target has better looking products, especially home decor stuff, but it breaks just as much. Walmart has stuff of fine quality if you don't buy the absolute cheapest coffeemaker they sell.

What ads have you clicked? I get absolutely nothing but diet ads, 3-4 ads for different diets per page. My female friends report the same. My single male friends get nothing but dating site ads.

yeah, it's only 30 minutes from Reno, which has most big city creature comforts. Amtrak goes straight through town too. Might be hard to find new hires here, but perfect for buckling down to get it off the ground.
