   High school is actually a trick question. They're trying to teach you to take the initiative and do something other than complain (no offense) or not utilize your tools in front of you at 110%. Don't like high school classes because they're

   Death awaits us at every corner of life. Tomorrow is Saturday. So, go out, hug a friend, enjoy a good meal, dance with a partner, love someone you love because you never know when death lurks in the shadows.

    I'm reminded from the seminal hacker movie: "There's not a government on this earth that wouldn't kill us all for that thing."

    Two monitors at the same time, friend. In seriousness, I'd be careful because as others have pointed out, some crypto systems would be vulnerable.

    So here's a question to consider: is the publishing industry reacting worse or better than the music industry?

    I don't think it's quite like that. Google still has to pay royalties and depending on how much the royalties end up being publishers would probably be happy. There's no need to make this out to be a conspiracy, though.

    Also living in such a city (silicon valley), I see what you mean. If I live near a bus/light rain/caltrain line whose terminus is also near work, then it's not such a big deal. Also, if I go during commuting hours it can be comparable, but

    Myself having been born in the 70s this article didn't make much sense. Cars are nice, to be sure, but so is having clean air, a sustainable future and not spending decades of my life commuting in one.

    For me, things like the Altair, the Apple IIe and the Arduino were not what they could functionally do for my data or make "my life easier" ... it was what it did to me, personally. I learned programming and it fundamentally changed my brai

    I think an interesting corollary question to this might be how to look for open problems that might be worth while to do research or papers on. Any hints?

    I thought Portland seemed like a nice area, too... ...but about 120 minutes of googling revealed what this article told me and in retrospect I am glad I didn't go. Although, it is a nice city.

    Are you familar with MUD/Mushes? Try writing one. You'll learn about concurrency, networking, parsing (some mushes have a built-in scripting language) and you will end up writing a lot of code.
