you both work at the same company and you didn't know the answer?

Hey, Brazil is big. Any idea where you're going to?

Thanks for the numbers. Out of curiosity, out of those who said they were "making more", how many are working in startups? (and not in consulting, public sector, finance, etc)

I'm a senior consultant (mostly rails) and I find much easier to find clients in the US (CA, NY) and Europe than locally. Local rails boutiques are charging $60/h and senior/experienced developers/architects have a hard time finding startups that could afford hiring "competitive" people.

p.s. by "competitive" I mean experienced people that could be hired remotely at SF rates.

I tried to create a simple chart: * clicked "add column chart" * dragged "sector" column to x-axis * dragged "price" column to y-axis

Values in the chart don't seem right, see "Health Care" for example. If i click "disable paging" all other sections show with empty y-values.

Is it possible to include charts in exported xls?

Fixed now. Thanks

I considered appplying but I don't meet the criteria of having at least one of SO, linkedin or twitter.

when I tried to view using firefox, the cpu bar kept high eating all the memory and unresponsive. I saw in firebug net tab that every slide was being fetch from slideshare in a loop. Does not happen in chrome.

Ah, you need a 300-column terminal to avoid line breaks :-)

No, I think it's solvable and even easy (depending on definition). Beforing you gave the tips I saw that "scrambled" trimmed the response always at the same byte length. Then I saw everytime it returned something different. Then, doing a "for i in $(seq 0 50); do curl izhack.com:12345 | head -7 | tail -1 | cut -c 1-250; done; I could see the pattern.

Doing the same for the other lines, replacing head -7 with head -8, head -9, etc I grabbed the repetition columns for all 5 lines. Each line had different columns repeated.

Creating a 5x300 grid and marking the cells where repetition occurs you see there's a symmetry. The repeats 5 times, where at column 58 every line repeats and it marks the repetition.

This is where I left, I still don't know the meaning of the last line. When I first run, coincidentally the server returned "sAlt" :-)

I was only asking if you knew the book because you seem to like puzzles and me too. As I liked the book I thought you might like and was trying to start a conversation.

Sorry!

Yes, I liked the challenge I'll take another shot tonight.

Kator, have you read Gödel, Escher, Bach: an Eternal Golden Braid?

The pattern has a width of 57 columns. The decoded text looks like the beginning of a private key to me.
