1. I agree with a previous commenter that Quora may be the ideal forum for this kind of question. 2. CS programs seem to share little with the programming-real-world. So not enjoying the degree might not be predictive. You should: * try doing some totally different variety of programming on the side * establish a "minor" in some other field to broaden your options 3. A couple context-variables that might drive your happiness as a programmer, so maybe try changing those variables: * the language you use (if your experience is mainly in 1) (run away from Java!) * the types of programs you've written (e.g. business-process support, HR, etc.) 4. Maybe Passion is the wrong metric. http://webseitz.fluxent.com/wiki/SoGoodTheyCantIgnoreYou 5. Maybe thinking of programming as your "minor" within a different field would make sense.

You're much better off using code as your secret weapon in another profession. People who can code in the world of technology companies are a dime a dozen and get no respect. People who can code in biology, medicine, government, sociology, physics, history, and mathematics are respected and can do amazing things to advance those disciplines." http://learnpythonthehardway.org/book/advice.html

Interesting that they didn't include any "modern" art, much less "contemporary".

I wonder how all the ads from the underlying BonApetit site (to take your example above) will be displayed?

1. I think the way that Google has engineered their capital structure (different classes of stock, etc.) had signalled "We're not necessarily going to mindlessly seek to maximize shareholder value." So I'm not convinced they "should be doing what's right for them to maximize the long term value for their shareholders". 2. I agree with your point that selling out wireless neutrality seems very shortsighted. Unless that's just a next-12-months phase of gamesmanship. Because who can tell, once their behavior is limited only by what's "within their rights"? 3. Until (heh) there's much more reliability/interop, gadget purchasing becomes an investment in an ecosystem. Last week I was impatient for a good Android tablet. That ardor has cooled.

So, it's their duty-for-shareholders to do whatever they can get away with within the boundaries of lobbyist-influenced law? Not a great year to fall back on that argument....

Hmm would that (the Processing environment) be allowed?

But have you bought one of her books? Would you pay to go to one of her shows? To half-quote-myself, she's the Maxim of comedy.

"To the Bookmobile. My thirst must be slaked..." 20min later, the nondescript van pulls up to a bookstop on the information superhighway. The window lowers, and a pale finger bekons outside. "You, the postmodern cookbook. Yessss, you'll do fine....."

As Yogi says, it's tough to make predictions, especially about the future. I'm a little skeptical that, under the scenario of a new Republican president, this group will be as large/loud in stopping *that* guy's big-gov policies. More importantly, as you've pointed out, guerilla movements usually fail at actually accomplishing anything positive, vs blocking the actions of others. I think that tends to result in more-pathological govt programs because anything *coherent* gets shouted down, but Congress always finds *something* to pass, so it's a huge mess.

Have you tried http://m.businessweek.com/ ? I'm not quite clear on what your desire is. Is it pretty "page" layouts? Offline use? Or are those "feed" apps just raw text with no images at all?

Maybe you could get some people to try different things (wood pellets, geothermal), and share info about results/hints...

I'd forgotten that scene, what a classic. (The scene and the series. I've even take the later seasons of lots of other junk....)

Blech, Calibre doesn't seem to be handling those 2-column pages well, either. Maybe it could, but I don't have the patience for it either! (Note that Calibre will output epub and other ebook formats, but not HTML. But if you take an epub file and change its extension to .gzip, you can unzip as usual and find a directory of XHTML files, etc.)

Don't forget that Seth was key in creating ChangeThis, the ultimate PDFs-that-should-be-web-pages service. I dunno how well it will handle the 2-column mess, but you might want to try Calibre, open-source software for converting document formats. I've generated epub files from book-length PDFs with a fair amount of success... (it might turn multi-column stuff which is really done like a table into an image) http://calibre-ebook.com/user_manual/faq.html#what-formats-does-app-support-conversion-to-from

Celebrity spouses could monitor the option prices. "Lucy, you got some splainin to do!"

Though perhaps a class-action lawsuit for alienation of adulation would be appropriate.

That's why I always buy Idol Insurance, so that if the processing of projecting my hopes and dreams onto the packaged-presentation of a distant celebrity should happen to lead to disappointment, I'm covered....

After you hit the Reply button/link, look for an "Edit Subject" link above the reply form.

Are you sure this wasn't ghost-written by Will Ferrell? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sanjaya_Malakar#Projects

Making DRM schemes that support complicated transactions (lending, etc.) is the ass-backward answer. The answer is to stop believing that *this time* DRM will work. Give it up, settle on social-DRM, and keep things simple and consumer-friendly. The gains will outweigh the losses.

snarkiest comment: "try a jitterbug"

Oops, I see your next post gives lots more detail. (Is there Tumblr-reblog-spam to the extent that there's always been trackback-spam?)

Wouldn't it make more sense to reblog via an RSS aggregator?

Wow, someone did some vetting of her? Really?
