"The women are gorgeous and fit." Way to enforce the stereo type, bro

Like, kernels?

I wanted to go work for them someday. :`( But maybe it'll be like how the TellMe deal went. They're still more or less independent.

Asking a corporation to be "good" or moral is like asking a car to be good or moral.

Yeah, ebay + skype seemed silly at the time. Right now it is like $3 a month for me. Even if it was $20 - $30 I still would like it. :)

I dunno. I like my Skype account. Good for calling home. At the office we use it to communicate with our offices in Europe.

I transfered from a technical/engineering school (1,500 students) to a more general state university (20,000) where computer science was not an important and the average student's …

Neat. How did you do it? I have a pet project in mind and I want to use LISP.

I lof the OCW! Thanks!

Hurray for lots of of links! I tinkered with FPGAs in college as part of my digital logic class. I remember reading about Hugo De Garis's work with them and they sound neat.

The hands on approach definitely appeals to me. I've thought about a local community college but the hours are not compatible with work. I guess I could n ot worry about details bu…

I didn't realize that the Hill/Horowitz book also has a companion lab manual. It looks something like I would like to have. Some of the books in the ARRL store look neat, too. Than…

This seems like a neat way to break it down. Thanks for your suggestions!

The Arudino looks neat. I will definitely keep it in mind. I have taken digital electronics while in college and do remember k-maps and so forth, so it should hopefully not be too …

Not at all! As an aside, http://www.mmoworkshop.com/trac/mom/phpbb might be of interest but it is mostly kits for MMOs

Wow! lot sof links + text. Thank you for this information!

I agree and disagree. I don't think that romance is dumb. In fact, courtship and companionship seems like it would be wonderful, sublime. However, reading your other comments about…

why thank you! I hope this is certainly possible to answer. Theoretically, if someone reads the right books and practices in the right way, along with hefty discipline and focus, o…

I am worried about breadth vs depth issues. It's probably why people get degrees in this. :) I'm sorry if I made it sound like I thought it was trivial. I'm not in any hurry, thoug…

Hello! I've been wanting to get into hardware type projects (robots, gizmos, etc) for a while but I'm fairly ignorant of hardware. I'm a software developer by trade. I've seen book…

I never ever get past the first phone interview with them. I usually stumble because I forgot some command-line switch or something. The last time they called I said I didn't want …
