Isn't there a website that ranks not the restaurant, but a particular dish at a restaurant?

I really like the Lenovo X201. Good build quality and extremely portable. You'll need to get a docking station if you want a DVD player, but other than that, it's a pretty nice mac…

No recommendations. Although buy a wireless one. I have an old, simple one from Cateye that works like a charm.

Gadgets: Buy a u-lock (harder to cut) rather than a chain, wire or some other configuration. Buy a cycle computer (shows you your speed, distance for your ride, etc) - the feedback…

You can also get hired at a research group in a university without a PhD (as a full-time developer for example). The pay is not competitive with industry, but you get to work on in…

"Please don't water down my PhD ... by teaching me management skills - I'm not in business school."" Most faculty manage groups of 5 - 20 people (their lab), a budget (their startu…

If you don't like the mostly dry quinoa that's so popular in the US, try it in a soup. That's how the Peruvians make it, and it's a world of difference!

Postgres seems like a good option. Thanks!

As part of our research group, we're collecting large amounts of location data. Our data essentially looks like (user id, lat/long co-ordinates, timestamp). There's other metadata …

The best web stack is the one you're most familiar with and/or have the most fun working with.

If you don't like Java, you can use Python with the Natural Language Toolkit (NLTK) and do the same thing. Please do provide the dataset for download.

I use the geocoder. It's terms seemed less restrictive than Google's.

Layout often also conveys information, and makes documents easier to read. Fonts are part of that layout information, but so is spacing.

I believe Orbitz is no longer owned by the airlines. It started off that way, though.

Is there a particular wireless chipset I should choose that works better with Ubuntu? Options seem to be: ThinkPad bgn Wireless and then various Intel Centrino variants.

If I install Ubuntu on it, does pretty much everything work? I don't care too much about suspend/resume, but I do need the wireless to work.

I'm hoping to avoid Dell. Their laptops (at least the ones I've been familiar with) seem to have poor build quality.

What's a good laptop to install Linux (Ubuntu) on? I'm looking to buy a new machine for work. System76 seems to make good laptops. Does anyone have experience with them? Is there a…
