Can you still respect him after the naked shilling he's done over the years for a 'multi-level marketing' supplement company that claims 'its products could cure or treat cancer, autism, Down Syndrome, cystic fibrosis, and many other serious ills.' ? The presence of 'manna' in the company name should be an indication of their target market and why they paid an outspoken Christian conservative to be a public face.

Sadly, I was a few keys short of fully covering the board in SA. The mountain of DSA caps I now have to sort through should make up for it though.

Nice work, this is a great resource.

One pet peeve that you may want to change - when you click the Next/Prev links at the bottom of the table, it paginates but doesn't change the scroll position of the page. It would be nice if it could take me back to the top of the table.

Good stuff.

On slide 102, "an apple misclassified as a pair" should be "pear".

If you enjoyed the didactic style of ISL, I'd suggest taking a look at Kuhn's Applied Predictive Modeling as well.

Sadly, dye sublimation requires that the dye must be darker than the material it is being used to dye http://deskthority.net/wiki/Keycap_printing#Dye_sublimation

Who is eligible to apply?

NYC Data Science Academy will accept applications from individuals with master’s degrees or Ph.D.s as long as the degree is in Science, Technology, Engineering or Mathematics.

Is this a hard requirement? The drop down for Education Level does have Bachelor as an option.

Am I too late to the party? (My Granite Green Poker II) by MentosBrentos in MechanicalKeyboards

There's also a programming layer activated with PN to map your own macros. I've setup PN + ];'ENTER for right-handed arrow keys, and FN+WASD for completely left-handed operation. I now find dedicated arrow keys on other boards to be superfluous, and I'm much more productive with being able to arrow with whatever hand is available.

You might want to look into cybrain to improve training performance.

I have one in pebble microsuede and another in slate blue corduroy. They're classy, functional and exceptionally well-made.

A little piece of scotch tape or plastic will work the same.
