This is very true. I bought a cheap office chair from a box retailer a year ago and completely regret it. Sitting and trying to do work becomes work in of it self. In fact, it is painful. A chair is one of those programmer's tools that you

So I heard that some think that is because for a long while the R/D effort was outsourced to other companies, away from larger ones. I dunno if that is the case but in the company I worked for got acquired and did some pretty serious R/D. I

Road to Reality is nice but the other two books you mention are not so much. Biology is very much a show-me science and if you can't actually prove or demonstrate it then ... I dunno what to say. Don't bother anyone with it? That sounds har

Not when I'm at home. :) I'm not some piece of machinery that can work 24/7 so there are certain externalities that don't quite match up to accounting. Goodwill perhaps? I get paid a certain salary whether I show up for 30 or 60 hours. It d

If you can reduce McDonald's --or any fast food place's -- costs by X% and/or increase its throughput by Y% by an automated robotic means, you may have a golden business or start up opportunity. It seems like it should be feasible...

The idea of an automated fast food place sometimes wants to come back. http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20030801/1345236_F.shtml

I can sort of agree. I got in early on O'Reilly's Safari bookshelf. For work, it's great. It's like a privatized library of great technical material. But reading it can be a little bit of a pain since it's on on the computer screen. The kin

I'd like 2 things to come out of this 1.) Some kind of lab support. I could buy a kit and go along and build what ever simultaneously with the class I'm following. 2.) an automated way of seeing how well I'm doing. A test giver/grading.
