I feel this resonating quite strongly with me as I'm that young programmer that needs mentoring. Occasionally I get stuck with questions which I can't google answers for (for they result in the drywood type of solutions) and I don't have anyone to ask. Sure, there are many, many people around me (professors, older students) who do know the answers to those questions, but but one question always paves way for another and asking them to make a commitment for longer than half an hour seems like asking too much.

what book?

I might be missing the point, but math is just working with symbols - we don't need to bend to fit the symbols, but we can make the symbols bend to fit us. The way math was written 200 years ago won't be the way we write it in a few decades, will it?

ACTA is not only US.

This isn't right - they gave money to people outside of US last two times.

What exactly? They're not bankrupt, just gained some bad rep and continued working.

Too bad the schedule for awesome chances like this to almost never seem to fit with the spare time I have. I'm way past the only-kiddy projects phase, yet haven't found anything big (as in a project shared with others) to hack on.

:( Darn. Too bad I'm not american. Nevertheless, good effort! Let us know how it works out.

And in the end, there won't be a trace of the next generation, since there won't be any physical records left...
