I have also become familiar with several languages (C, C++, C#, Java, PHP, Python, and Ruby), but when I wanted to start a big project, I realized that I only knew the basics of the language (i.e., synatx). I had no real exposure to the va

So far I have made it through Weinstein's, Roubini's, and Taleb's talks. What I have seen is a good start towards understanding a subject that we have very little hold over right now. If you can find the time to watch even one of these vi

This is American politics. The politicians say one thing to please the masses and do exactly the opposite. I'm not trying to be confrontational or rude. That's just the reality of things.

It sure helps. EDIT: Do you know what secondhand embarrassment is? Go to an open mic and you are sure to experience it. I've seen some people who thought they were hilarious and were actually a train wreck.

I can't help it; I have to say it. Stop swine flu and you'll make a boatload of money.

First, I am not an accountant or any other licensed individual. I used to work in banking as an analyst and trader before I went back to school. My securities licenses have since elapsed. Do you have cash entering or leaving the company?

You don't find it ironic that you are now telling me what I should and should not do?

I understand well what is said here. With that said, if you are at work, you do your work. Also, you should not be using corporate bandwith to catch up on your own reading agenda. Do that at home.

People must think that network admins at major corporations are retarded! Besides, what is there to tweet when you're at work? "Boss took my stapler again :("

Perhaps they should now create a new shirt that says, "I got suckered by tshirthell.com". That's sure to create more buzz for them.

I will add a quote from Arrested Development made by Buster: Michael: Buster? The guy who thought that the blue on the map was land? Lucille: He's had business classes. Buster: W-w-w-wait. Eighteenth-century agrarian business. But I guess i

Please spare me the RTFM comments; I am sick and not feeling well enough tonight to dig into some huge research project. I simply would like to know how a company like Youtube functions. Do they have to pay for the right to use their video

While in theory the People have the authority to overthrow their government, in reality, do you honestly think that the US government would allow this to happen without a mass killing of its own people? I have long been upset with the US, y
