    The Programming Riddles Thread!

    I don't think this is true at all. Every programmer should be able to answer these questions. Its a fundamental measure of problem solving for computer scientists and programmers (who aren't just doing boring simple services development).

    Spotify only through facebook

    Is anyone else concerned about this? I don't like Facebook documenting all my moves, and now they must also know what I listen to on Spotify? Such a shame, spotify was so awesome .... it was better when I accessed it using a VPN.

    Questions about the Xbox 360

    I didn't realize I need to pay $40/yr for live gold on the xbox. Luckily the hurricane has postponed my craigslist meetup with the seller, so I can investigate some more. Does the ps3 have a similar charge?

    Best 23-24" 1920x1080 LED monitor out there?

    I think <$200 would be nice. But I'd be willing to shell an extra $100 for a panel with better viewing angles.

    Bottom line is in order to gain recognition you need to publish a book. It's not the same as publicity. He probably doesn't have to publish to prove to his students/younger people in the field how good he is, but a published bible book is a proven benchmark. I had a similar experience with a...

    Need help deciding on MBA 11"

    Seems like the used market is calibrating to the new apple pricing. Previous generation MBA 11" 1.6Ghz 4GB 128GB SSD is now going for $850 if you look. Thats a solid $300 discount. Now I need to think some more.
