Love the Woz. A extraordinary combination of quiet genius, generosity and humility.

Opened up to write a response, saw you'd already covered it. Thanks.

Wow! I can't decide if this is hilarious or scandalous.

Thank you, this is useful. Back in the day I had borrowed someones template for my resume and it looked pretty good.

This isn't the first time I've heard or read negative news about IIPM. The background story behind this institution is a gigantic red flag.

Whassup my fellow Portlanders ? (go Oregon).

heh, very neat. You can also play around with the parameters and equation of the graph.

Check out my "tan" heart : 5 + (-sqrt(1-x^2-(y-abs(x))^2))tan(45((1-x^2-(y-abs(x))^2))), x is from -1 to 1, y is from -1 to 1.5, z is from 1 to 6

Beautiful, simple, entertaining.

So is this evidence of insider-trading ? Why would they not prosecute or at least investigate ?

Nicely done. I've passed it on to the rest of my team.

What ? Are you sure "musketeering" is the word you wanted to use here ?

Funny how the pictures all look and feel so similar.

Perhaps there is a good chance here to organize a collaborative effort to write open-source (free) textbooks from scratch.

And here is the article referenced in the OP : http://slate.me/VaV0lS

Yes, that was cringeworthy. They seem to have dropped the ball on this one.

I've backed several projects on Kickstarter and Indiegogo over the last 1 year and am happy with them. Most of the projects were successfully funded and I have received the products. Sometimes I wish there was more.

Yes that is my understanding of their history. Peasants who were being hassled by the Samurai and so developed these skills for defense. Later they moved on to doing jobs for hire.

FYI, Dawn has an Ion engine.

I've been hearing the "desktop is dead" thing repeated over the last 12-15 years, maybe longer. Yet the desktop is still around. What we are seeing though, is a blurring of the lines between desktop and mobile devices like laptops. At work my fairly high end laptop becomes my desktop via a docking-station setup. Other innovations will likely morph the desktop into something more portable and lightweight while retaining all its power.

One can argue the methods used to block the new logo, but its an ugly, bad design and UC is better off without it.

Basically we (Milky Way) are going to slam into the Andomeda galaxy. Original hubblesite link : http://hubblesite.org/newscenter/archive/releases/2012/20/vi...

Apart from being a great business leader, Ratan is a good, decent person. I've been told by someone very close to me who was a corporate pilot for him and flew him around for several years.

thank you for saying that.

Impressive dedication and effort. Reminds me of that man who built an entire stone castle all by himself. I forget his name.

Did you take into account the population difference between the two countries ?

I'm surprised at those people too. Almost 20%. I would not have thought it to be such a high number.

Pretty graph but how useful is it ? There is lots of data on it and it looks crowded and seems hard to interpret unless you use the right panel to filter down the data. Even then, no numbers mean that you only get a feeling of relative quantities. The interesting info for me is the "Division 1" graph showing large numbers of Arts/Literature people going into Technology/Engineering/medicine.

But are stop-loss positions guaranteed to be triggered ? What if there are no buyers in a plunging market ?

Back then I preferred Orkut to FB. It was harder deleting my Orkut account. Didn't like FB then, don't like it now. I thought the interface sucked, its probably better now but I'll never know :)

Maybe you're feeling sad because you're using social-media more than you should. See the following article : http://www.slate.com/articles/double_x/doublex/2011/01/the_a...
