Northeastern. The CS department is good, but co-op is better. I'm just finishing my first co-op and my marketable skills (the kind of things I'd put on a CV) have exploded. I don't have the time to go into full detail about the virtues of co-op, but I'll say this: it is the single best thing I have EVER done for myself, followed closely by quitting smoking and re-discovering exercising.

It's the kind of ageist thinking presented in this article that makes us Gen Y-ers (I'm 20) hate the older generations.

The only things that matter are talent and skills.

We use Twiki here at CoreStreet as well.

I suggest _why's lovely Hackety Hack (http://hacketyhack.net)

Reasons why H-ety-H is a good choice: 1. Ruby - Ruby is a beautiful, easy to learn, modern language that's both powerful and easy for beginners. 2. Hand-Holding - It walks you through all of the interactive examples 3. Community - Hackey Hack encourages users to share their programs with others

Besides, if eigth graders can do it, so can you!

Sage goes in every field?

Personally, I'm a Carcassonne man.

That said, when I have a good day to kill, History of the World is a lot of fun.

Bumping does work, but not on automotive locks, as they have a different internal structure. Most lock manufacturers have come up with bump-proof or bump-resistant locks now that bumping has become more known.

That said: bumping is cheating :D

WHO ARE YOU AND WHY ARE YOU ME?

I have to agree. As a Mass hacker working for a small software company, the Somerville/Cambridge area is quite nice. Although the climate can be, and I am being as frank as possible, unbearably shitty, it is a nice place.

I'm a sophomore working on a BS in Comp Sci from Northeastern University. Go Huskies?
