My work PC has IE6 and I see it being applied.

:-( "sudo rm -rf *" brings back really bad memories...

Networking with your peers & professors is quite beneficial, unless you plan on being a lone genius.

I hope it's well optimized for fibonacci algorithms now.

is it just me or is this some sort of google app engine rehash with js?

thank you!

Thank you for your input here - I was considering the same question as well (AI vs. ML).

Thanks

Just wondering, does anyone know what the most popular phone on the Android platform is at the moment?

Thinking of upgrading from my iPhone 3G.

Wow, this is the reason I read Hacker News day by day rather than the gibberish most of mass media produces.

Apologies for my ignorance, but what's Indy? I'm assuming it's not related to the race of the same name.
