Are there any fitness cultured startups out there? Companies where some of the engineers are active and management is willing to flex schedules for training or activities. Of course many companies and HR companies will claim this, but who really does it in practice? Ideally looking for CA companies. Apparently the first company to put a stake in the ground is going to be in Colorado:...

hanging out for beers is great but so is exercising, so consider going outside for activity for a change. Don't pat yourself on the back too much though, walking only provides a low level of fitness.
However, many finite-state automata regex implementations have existed for years (e.g. Java http://cs.au.dk/~amoeller/automaton) without the backtracking feature, of course. Also of interest is the benchmark data at: http://tusker.org/regex/regex_benchmark.html

Me: B.A. English and Classics. I'm getting a masters in CS--only because I already read/have read many of the graduate texts. I started programming at an early age, but I wasn't interested in CS because the universities were still insisting on Fortran and Assembly, and I'm sure Cobol was on the list of requirements too. Lastly, deep domain knowledge is priceless--no fancy algorithm trick can beat it. Someone without specialized domain knowledge can't even envision what he doesn't know.
Success in software and startups is largely determined by one's commitment to keep learning and trying to improve.
a good counterpoint to your idea is: Would You Bet $100,000,000 on Your Pet Programming Language? http://prog21.dadgum.com/13.html
--Don't worry, as for myself, I see only questions, and answers that only bring more questions.
Does anybody have any favorite Javascript analysis tools, scripts, or an IDE that they find really helpful? Yeah, I know, "emacs and Venkman"--but is there something better to tackle the complexity when the source gets above 10,000 lines (!?!).I have to deal with a mountain of inherited, undocumented javascript. Any hints? Any Javascript best practices/documentation approaches that have worked...
This sounds like a good recurring opportunity:TopCoder is launching a number of upcoming private bug races in a large, rule-based expert system, and we need more bug racers! The system is written primarily in LISP and C, so if you've had exposure to LISP in school and always wanted an opportunity to improve your knowledge, this is it. We are planning to deliver a steady stream of bug races for...
Users love a sparse UI, but you've gone overboard. You need to add descriptions to the different pricings; the labels aren't intuitive. I assume you mean 3 brands = monitor three brand destinations (e.g. youtube.com mentions, twitter mentions, and yahoo news mentions). That is confusing to marketing people. Try to make it more clear that you offer increasing depth penetration for a single brand. The multiple users feature isn't intuitive either. --Neither of these items were adequately answered by your FAQ.
I would revise your FAQ language, it comes across as too chatty and colloquial. Your trying to get into the wallets of marketers, act professional. Your design is clean and well done, now bring the writing up to the same level.
