   This is just as poor of an attitude as the people who only care about the degree. Like anything else a potential employee has done, a degree (especially from a good school) adds something that you can't capture using any other metric.

   Not to nitpick, but it's "dissent". I learned the hard way ( http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3262893 )

   In the email from the NLP course, they said that all classes were being pushed back for reasons out of their control, and the delay could be anywhere from a couple weeks to several weeks. Too bad, I really needed the class in the first hal

   I don't actually watch TV very often, and don't have it at home, but over the holidays I saw this feature at someone's house. I think it was DirectTV/Dish, and during a commercial for some TBS(?) show, it prompted you to press some button

   I can't remember the last time I used an i[Pod,Pad,Phone], but that doesn't make stories about them unimportant.

   This is a horrifying thought. The west coast drivers in Colorado are absolutely horrid, I guess it's a good thing we don't have many New Yorkers then ;).

   Yes, see the Cayley-Hamilton Theorem[1], which changes matrix powering into the powering of scalers in the characteristic polynomial. -- [1] - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cayley%E2%80%93Hamilton_theorem

   I can't really speak to performance (I don't have any large projects where I could tell a difference), but the install is painless, and the windows git shell is really nice.

    Thanks. All the answers have been helpful, this one is perhaps the most pragmatic. I've signed as well, I suppose it wouldn't really matter in any case, as if the US was headed down that path I think I'd just jump ship.

    This is an honest question that I realize will seem very tin-foil hatty, but I can't seem to brush it off. Does anyone ever worry that doing something like this (supplying your name, email, etc.) will come back to bite you later? Say, in 1

    There was just a bit of sarcasm in the parent, I think ;)

    But I'm sure they have some sort of lockout after 3 or so tries, right? (Unfortunately, this reads just as valid sarcastically as seriously).

    Not that I think you're wrong, but do you have a citation for your second paragraph?

    So, it seems as though there are some errors in the article, but it seems the most interesting piece is roughly true. To write the new constitution, the people of Iceland elected twenty-five citizens from among 522 adults not belonging to

    I agree with your naming gripe, but beyond that it sounds like you personally just like iOS. Different people have different opinions of what phone has really "made" Android. If the Nexus One took the place of the iPhone, I guarantee ther

    Wow, could you elaborate more? This sounds like a very interesting viewpoint, and one that I've not seen before.

    I'm naive when it comes to anything related to VC's and funding, but I'm pretty sure if I had a ton of money to invest, it wouldn't be anywhere near someone like that. Even after reading the article, I don't think I fully understand why he

    Thanks, upvoted. What I said still holds, but it seems they aren't too worried about the effects of your conduct so I'm not either.

    Could you post their replies? I know this was sarcastic, but I'd like to see what your bosses have to say about it. Honestly, what you're saying is controversial, but worth discussing. However, your attitude towards anyone who disagrees

    This probably won't matter to you, but the entire point is that it's not about the angst.

    Accessible to advertisers, not users. They don't particularly care if you can find the set of friends who visit sports blogs on odd numbered Tuesdays and like chili fries.

    As a user, it would be nice to know exactly how the score is calculated. I can see what part comes from which site, but for instance, my github profile only contributed 2 points to my WFP profile. Is this because I only have 2 repo's? Or

    Quickly, on OpenSuSE 11.4 (x86_64) running Chrome 14, the game interface doesn't hide my system's mouse pointer, but also displays its own. Slightly visually distracting. While playing, I would move the spell bar to the left, as that seems

    I've seen many of these (the lands at EPCOT in FL have quite a few). Never had an issue with feeling like I would fall over, but they are pretty cool.
