Your description of 'Discreet structures with graph theory' sounds like things we use
every day. 'Selected math chapters' sounds more useful for numerical analysis programming.
If you struggle with math, numerical analysis is probably not the field for you.
I'm addicted to shooting people in the face. Please don't send me to jail.
Is your argument that addiction shouldn't be treated
as a medical problem or that shooting people is an
actual addiction? I think there is a clear difference between an addict and a psychopath.
Gay Marriage doesn't define or redefine my marriage in any way.
Your step-father burning down the family home to pay of gambling debts implies that he owed the money to
an organization other than a legitimate credit company. This implies organized crime, which exists partially
due to the prohibition of gambling where your father in law gambled.
So I would say your step-father was victim of loan sharking and you were a victim of arson.
Addiction of all sorts needs to be treated as a medical problem, not a criminal one.
I use a password storing program on a portable device such as a PDA or iPod touch.
I use obscure passwords that I can remember with a hint that won't make
sense to anyone else. I only store the hint in the encrypted storage.
I don't care much about what business previous
employers are in, unless it is very similar to
mine. I care if your knowledge and experience
are relevant to my business.
I would also like the idea of your previous
employer being very serious about reliability.
Ok. I suggest your first task is to find a
CEO with a background in a business that licenses technology.
One quick source is angel investors in your area.
A web search of "Angel Investor" or "Angel Investor Washington" will reveal a list of resources. People in finance, including bankers and CPAs, might now of some. Often there are one or more Angel Investor clubs in technology centers like Redmond.
I suggest emphasizing that you are looking for business experience of the right type (licensing technology) rather than money. Someone that is interested in helping _and_ putting up money is a lot more valuable than someone that has money.
Well, at least you know that you don't know something.
I don't know anyone in the Redmond area, but
I do in Portland. I'll check around.
You need to ask yourself some questions.
1. Do you want to grow a company of sell the idea?
2. If you want to grow a company, do you want to run it? This probably the most important question. After being involved in several startups. I realized that I would not want to run a company after it became a "going concern".
3. If you start a company are you willing to sell it or do you want to grow it into a public company?
Good, honest help is a little more challenging. SCORE might be ok, but you need
someone with some knowledge of technology.
If you are in Silicon Valley, I can recommend people that can provide advice,
contacts, possibly money. If you are not there, indicate where you are and
perhaps friends of friends can help.
Most states require that I,
as a manager, offer an employee a treatment
option if I suspect that a performance issue is
due to a problem with alcohol. However, if they
have I think it is a problem with 'illegal' drugs
I can fire them right away.
Socially we view alcohol addition as a moral
weakness, but treat it as a medical problem. How
about we join the modern world and do the same
with all substance abuse problems?
The f-117 isn't supersonic and it takes a computer to keep it stable.
Is the B-2 supersonic?
Was the US flying wing of the late 50s early sixties supersonic? I know
it had stability problems.
I'm not an expert, but I think stability of flyiing wing desings is a serious
problem. I'm not convinced this thing would fly.
to meeting fellow geeks? Expand your horizons.
Pick activities that interest you. Join clubs that
center around such activities.
Sailing, hiking, rock collecting, whatever.
You'll meet interesting people.
Don't worry about being accepted. Bill Gates
made being a geek fashionable.

Implementing this _might_ hurt US financial institutions. It will not reduce internet gambling.

"Successful high-end call girls, though, tend to be chillingly sane when not in their work personas."
Please explain how you know this.
I don't care much about what business previous employers are in, unless it is very similar to mine. I care if your knowledge and experience are relevant to my business. I would also like the idea of your previous employer being very serious about reliability.
I've never gotten a job through a headhunter. I've never hired someone brought to me by a headhunter.
Headhunters are a cost. I've never seen any benefit.
that she quit by dying.
I find being better educated and better informed to be an advantage. I make more money. I keep more of what I make.
Do you really think making science popular will change public policy decisions?

Damn where are my mod points when I need them. Funny doesn't quite say it.
I'd mod you up, but that doesn't quite say it!

Rugged.
Long shelf life.

What more could you ask for
At some point you will realize, you have two options to be mismanaged, or to mismanage. Until that time remain technical.
When you reach that point you can make a rational decision.
I'm shocked, Shocked! to find antitrust activities going on this establishmentl
It's also pretty hard to be in the obese range of BMI with a low bodyfat percentage (possible, I'm sure, but very difficult without drugs)
Nonsense.
According to BMI, Shaquile O'Neil is obese. A lot of people who work-out rate overweight or obese according to BMI.
Any one wants to take a stab at predicting the reactions from the traditional Earth-centric worldviews?
Denial.
