It looks like your emails are stored on their servers? My desire is to have more control over my data.

This was my first thought, but after researching for a while it seems pretty complicated. The tutorials I found literally have hundreds of steps to configure everything properly.

What are my options for email if I don't want to use GMail/Hotmail/Yahoo etc?

I am the guy who wrote the original post, I think this is great work, I wish I could use photoshop as proficiently! I should say that for my part, I drew inspiration from flight404: http://www.flight404.com/blog/?p=131 and a paper I read

I wonder what a fair benchmark test would look like. Would it boil down to an argument of C++ vs Java for floating point operations?

In my experience 90% of scientific data analysis work is: getting the data, cleaning it and transforming it into a form suitable for analysis. MATLAB fails miserably at these tasks.

MATLAB is a bad choice for science. It is proprietary, making it difficult to share work among people who do not own a license, therefore making it more difficult to reproduce results. Not to mention the fact that the MATLAB language is ex

I like to take advantage of this by approaching the salesman while holding about $300 dollars worth of cables, negotiate a lower price on the tv and then return the cables the next day.

Hi, This sounds really interesting to me, and I am in Vancouver too. Would you consider putting your email address in your profile? I have a quick question for you.

Ben Fry (of processing fame) has a group that does this: http://fathom.info/ Can you give more details about the project and the data set?

This post can answer far more completely than I can: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1565375 Vancouver gets a nod from pg as one of the best places to do a startup outside of the US. I only recently moved here, so I am not very involv

I would just like to point out that oatmeal has a glycemic index of about 50 (out of 100). That's for plain oatmeal with nothing added, not the instant stuff or the sugar laden version most people end up with.

I agree with this. For me, math started to make sense when I saw it applied to problems, especially simple physics problems that explain things you can directly observe. The Feynman lectures were an especially rich source of these types o
