Wow, the camera quality is pretty astounding.

Their founder is also their CEO.
Does Photoshop not do this?
We simply require that they attend a top 20 school at this point. This is mostly so that customers know that all editors meet that baseline measure of credibility (i.e. they made it through the same process that the applicant is pursuing, and thus probably know what it takes).
Once we are a little more established we plan on being less selective with our editors and letting the market decide who the great people are.
Fundamentally this problem is derives from the fact that it is difficult for people to learn how to write and structure their ideas. Hell thats basically the whole point of PhD programs, and people spend years finishing them.
With the internet, it becomes really easy to just pay someone else who already knows how to write to do the work for you.
The only real solution to this that I see is to make these services legitimate as a teaching outlet rather than as a cheating outlet. Force people to write a draft. In editing, don't rewrite, just comment and give people feedback as to how they can improve the structure of their document. In general have the people feel that they are getting taught rather than just getting a product.
My hope is that creating a legitimate service will encroach the market people like this target, and will actually force students to learn something through their writing assignments.
It's because the decisions that they make have far reaching consequences, and if the CEO of a company is just a little better, it can snowball into a huge return. It is possible that a person in a position of power could easily represent a change in more than 3.5 million dollars in revenue in a year.
That said, from the personal perspective, I agree completely, no one could possibly ever make better use of so much capital as compared to what it could do when put towards some community venture. But in our system, this is something that the person receiving the money must come to terms with.
Its dumb to spend your whole creative life simply reproducing ideas that seemed obvious decades ago. You can get a lot better if you know what other people did, and then consciously build on it.
Mozilla does a great job of this if you need inspiration.
First, what is stopping wires from transmitting these frequencies.
Second, 300GHz switching speed does not necessarily mean that you need to be feeding info at that rate.
The real solution is to offer simple as a feature. Have a default mode which makes everything really easy, and a "complicated" mode which allows people to change everything.
By breaking things up into two usability modes, most people get the benefits of simplicity, while the ones that care get the benefit of control.
I'd assume that the net energy gain is positive, but it would be interesting if they said how positive.
Or this book: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0914098918/ref=pd_lpo_k2_dp... for regular calculus. Read them, work through the problems, get an answer key, email your solutions to professors asking them to look at them.
You will get a good introduction to analysis (and exposure to many other parts of math) from those two books.
Once you get to the point where the subjects start dividing, you'll see that the real skill that math teaches you is to look at a problem, and create a set of definitions which frame all the properties of the problem and make them make sense in that framework.
You get this skill by both playing with problems and trying to define frameworks (theorems, lemma's, axioms, ect) and by reading about the techniques that others have developed. It isn't about rote memorization, its about playing with abstract concepts till you have a way of understanding them. One thing that playing will teach you is that it will show you that the path you take to understanding something is not the same as the simplest path for explaining something once you understand it.
In contrast, in things like physics you are generally given the frameworks (by the mathematicians) and the cleverness comes from understanding how particular situations can be described by the existing (pretty abstract) frameworks (like newtons laws).
If you are bothered by how some of the ideas seem to appear from nowhere, notice that there is a lot of math out there that you don't know, and even basic statements about open and closed sets build on a lot of more basic set theory and group theory.
Its also much more specialized for the type of stuff people do on the internet.
As the person below answered, there are less naive ways of doing it. Check out: http://www.tsp.gatech.edu/index.html if you are interested.
I was responding to the author's dig at liberal arts fields above. That while they may seem like expensive hobbies, they are expensive hobbies that are important for society to have.
Sure they may not provide a lot of utility in terms of increasing production, but they do have a lot of perspective to offer to students.
The one page site doesn't really contain useful information, so anyone google-ing "dallas classifieds" that does click the link will bounce pretty immediately.
Do you have any statistics on the number of people that click through the links on your site? Like how many page views has it gotten vs. how many people have clicked on outbound links.
At the same time, "dallasclassifieds.org" has a page rank of 0, so linking it up to your primary site will not really improve the page rank of that site if I understand the basic idea of pagerank correctly.
The only real potential benefit that it can possibly create is that you might get some revenue if you throw some google ads up on the site. As it is right now, you are essentially taking a spot away from a potentially more useful service showing up on the main page.
To be fair it looked a little different than water.
So when they do break the headaches are much bigger.
