Can someone translate this into English for us non-Physics geeks? What exactly does this mean? Will it lead to new applications of magnets (the closest analogy I can come up with from this brief description)?
Personally, I'd start by looking at similar names. Or different extensions. By making an offer, you may drive them to buy other, similar domain names in order to force you to pay a higher price.
While I agree that evilviper has a very pragmatic solution to the dilemma, there are certain questions that only you can answer.
How would you feel about being an outcast to that community?
How much do you believe in open source?
Do you really want to work for a Microsoft wannabe?
Which do you value more at this point: freedom or a paycheck.
Do you really need this paycheck?
What would your family say?
Jobs come and go. A good programmer is never out of work for long. If you truly wish to keep working on this open source project, then pass on the offer. If you need a paycheck to support your family, then go with the job. Family first.
There are three series written by Bruce Coville. These are the books that got me into the genre in the first place. I enjoy them enough that I still reread them on occasion.
The AI Gang Trilogy
Aliens Ate My Homework and sequels
My Teacher is an Alien and sequels
There are a few others by him as well that may be worth a look. And many of these books are on the 4 for 3 list on Amazon.
It's the books! The books are making us fat. Damn those kids and their eight hour reading marathons! They need to go outside and get in trouble like normal kids! That'll get rid of the problem.
One thing I have noticed in the past few weeks is the lack of entry level jobs. Many of them seem to require 1-2 years experience. One required 3-5. Furthermore, many required knowledge of something that cannot be found within the realm of academia. With all these requirements, how are college graduates supposed to find work?

Happy reading!
Is the iSmell far behind?
Everyone feels that any given language is missing something. So make your own that fits your needs.

Who says we have to have all of a human's faults with an AI? Shouldn't we learn and improve upon the past? And why would/should an AI get tired!?
