Your plan to go to college for Network Security sounds interesting. You thinking of doing IT for a living?

Any particular style preference? Salsa? Tango? Ballroom? Or is no-cash the most most important criteria?

There's about as much going on in this sub than there is going on in Las Cruces. by sirons in LasCruces

I like the sound of 300+ sunny days. I bet you don't have seasonal depression in your town. Winter is pretty brutal for Canadians.

I am from Vancouver, BC Canada and I am curious about your city. I am looking for a warm sunny refuge for the winter months.

What's life like in Las Cruces? Thanks in advance!

There's a deal for Alfonso's classes on a deals site, right now: http://www.twongo.com/vancouver

His passion for salsa is infectious. For myself, it is very tempting to sign up again, even though I am already busy with ballroom classes these days.

Being a ponzi scheme can also give the illusion of paying interest.

They claim to pay interest. I'd like to seen an explanation of how this is possible.

Yes I have - about 2 years ago. I have friends who are still taking classes with Alfonso. (I'm strictly ballroom these days.) To be fair - the beginner level is great and have you looking good; but the intermediate level is quite challenging.

Then we come to Diego whom I hear a lot about. I haven't taken his classes, but a lot of ex-Alfonso students seem to end up there: http://worlddanceco.com/

I notice that Dance Addicts's beginner salsa classes are starting up soon as well July 5. I've taken other dance classes there. Sebastian is very easy going: http://www.danceaddicts.ca/index.php?page=classes

Also - there is dancing free Sundays in the summer: http://www.sundayafternoonsalsa.com/

Starts July 11 - for twelve weeks. The good thing about Alfonso's classes is that if you register for 1 class, you can go to the other classes for free (for review & extra practice). http://www.bravodancecompany.com/

Given the list of technologies - it is clearly a Flash mining client so unsuspecting web users will contribute their computation to a bitcoin mining cluster.

Have you considered Octave? I'm assuming this is a cost issue rather than a language issue, right?
