At work, we have a bitchar-g racing table made from three small ikea square tables and some duplo blocks. It's a nice compact race area, but anything faster than the 1.0 motors (10,000 RPM) tend to spin out around the curves.
1. "Tell me about an interesting project you did." This kind of open-ended question will allow you to gauge his interests, experiences, and ability to communicate about something he should feel passionate about.
2. Pick a problem you're currently facing. Ask him about it. Does he sound like he can come up with a solution that will work for you? Does his approach mesh with your group's current style?
"Software is not designed or licensed for use in on-line control of aircraft, air traffic, aircraft navigation or aircraft communications; or in the design, construction, operation or maintenance of any nuclear facility. You warrant that you will not use Software for these purposes."
I agree with your main point that sometimes learning is just tedious hard work.
However, it's a big plus if the student is motivated by an interesting ("fun") task so that the student will be willing to plow through the hard work of doing the actual learning.
In addition, it's often easier to learn science/math if you have actually mentally wrestled with a problem where the science/math you're learning would actually help with the solution.
The web has links, period. The term "deep link" was created by individuals who fundamentally don't understand the nature of the web. Using their terminology makes it much easier for them to stay on the offensive.
Sorry to sound so RM-esque, but sometimes the words really *do* matter...:-/

If you take a trip to Japan and buy some electroncs, etc, be sure and carry your passport with you to the store and you will be exempted from paying the 5% sales tax.
They will fill out a little card, put a stamp on it, and staple it into your passport. When you exit the country, they will take the little card out of your passport.
Some of the the electronics stuff is labelled to run on 100V AC, but it works fine over here. And remember, don't buy a DVD player unless you really want the region 3 encoding!
Very true. If you don't believe this, uncork a bottle and hold it up to your ear. You will hear that the trapped silence has truly been released.

If you donate your books to the library, be aware that they will probably be sold in the library booksale rather than placed on the shelves (not that that's a bad thing, I do it myself).
How about put a bookcrossing sticker in it, and *then* donate it to the library?:-)
you'll see the Latin phrase "novus ordo seclorum" A New Secular Order.
I think you're confused regarding the meaning of "seclorum". It actually means "world". There are plenty of online
latin dictionaries
where you can confirm this.
Or google for
novus ordo seclorum for sites that give a more detailed explanation of the phrase itself.
Andreessen: (Pause). I don't think so. For mass market adoption (open source) is clearly not compelling yet or (Opera) would have more adoption than it does.
He doesn't even know Opera is not an open-source project but is instead sold by these guys.
If you travel to Hong Kong...

Be sure and pick up one of these. They have a great tourist deal that has a 3-day unlimited use of the subway and a return trip on the airport express. If you do this, be sure and check your bags in at the downtown station. They will be checked through all the way to the plane.
Good idea! "The tracks on this CD are available for purchase via the KAZAA network. Simply download the songs you like. We'll bill your credit card later."
You can't beat "The Unix Programming Environment" by Kernighan and Pike. It was a great book when it was released in 1984 and it's great now. Same for Software Tools by Kernighan and Plaugher, from 1976.

How do you decide what runs on Irix
and what runs on Linux?
Are you doing anything with OS X?

Did anybody notice if he posted his raw data on the 100 projects? I'd like to see the numbers on a few specific ones.
