2/6     Really recommend Bruce Bethke's "Headcrash" to all engr types.
        \_ Same for "Daemon" by Daniel Suarez. Audiobook is great.

2/6     Just a question but, why does Soda's clock skew?  I mean; it's a vm..

2/8     http://gimundo.com/news/article/five-top-universities-that-offer-free-courses-online
        Free lectures online. You won't get a degree, but you'll learn,
        for free!
        \_ the cmu stats course is nice.
           \_ cum studs course what? :-)
        \_ Hey, CS164 with Hilfinger! Wow, I feel 20 years old again.

2/8     Hey, are Day and Week trader guys still around?  Just curious how it's
        going.  I was also thinking of doing some largely buy-and-hold
        investing, can anyone recommend an online broker?  I was thinking of
        Fidelity because I have a 401k there, but I don't need anything fancy.
        \_ market hasn't been volatile enough. I've made a few thousand
           this year but I really miss the Bush era.
           \_ So do I, i made gobs in andersen.
           \_ Yeah, not the best market for short term trading right now.
              Are you just holding for now?
        \_ any comments on RHAT? was there some super scrt deal with ORCL
           that happened to coincide with the start of the crash- if you
           look at their stock's upswing..
