As an IT person I see stupid mistakes all the time, we are people, it happens, no biggie. So to jail someone for what anyone could do by accident is unconscionable.

I thought the long lines and grumpy and abrasive nature of a typical New Jersey DMV employee would be plenty effective at preventing smiles. ;-)

Closer to home: Consider every minute commuting as work time, and every dollar spent on gas as after tax wages.
The challenge of something new: That can be a major contributing factor to your happiness, even if the employer isn't any more fun
The risk of taking a new position: You might think you are beloved and stable in your current position, but all it takes is new ownership and even the best workplace can turn into hell, so just because it is nice where you are doesn't guarantee it will stay that way.
Better pay: Yes, it's only %10 more pay, but think about it, they are starting you at that, chances are you have peaked out at your current position, now you have room to grow


No matter what, it could backfire, and be a bad decision, so don't burn your bridges, there is always the possibility of returning if this job doesn't pan out. Either way, Good Luck!

Unless your programming is for some very specialized fields it is most likely that the need for very advanced mathematics are few are far enough between, that by the time you need it you will likely need to look it up and refresh your memory anyhow. So long as you are able to learn/re-learn it, you are nearly just as well off learning it as you need it.

Read it as a kid, depressing as it gets.

If only all patent trolls find their way to a similar fate.

I love my Kindle Fire, I can make notes, mark pages, read in the dark, buy a new book when I'm done, read the classics for free etc. I will always choose E-book over paper. Lets face it (In the free world) attempts at censorship or governments tracking your reading habits are not a real concern. Will it ever happen, sure in Iran or China, but the free world would strip power from anyone stupid enough to try that.

Lovely, now everyone's machines will be infected with bitcoin mining viruses, I mean bundled software. It will be up there with all of those useful toolbars they got.

Unless you are a politician or clergy. Otherwise you can expect to alienate the majority of your co-workers.

Yep, each time a diode on Earth draws > %100 efficiency the life force is sucked from a faery in a parallel dimension!

If you are insulted I need to remind you Sheldon, that it's all in good fun.
