Age isn't really an issue. But, all those positions, but the intern, seem to require a fair bit of experience. I betting their pool of possible, potential applicants in probably quite small.
Revision 3 has to be a great outfit to work for.

I too wish I could work there. But I'm not quite sure having to know python is worth it. That's like shooting yourself in the foot to get a job.

If I lived in San Fran, I'd apply for one of the intern jobs, probably. That'd be a long commute from Kansas City. :confused:

I wouldn't mind relocating to SF. Unfortunately, they're not highering Math Professors. :(
A little birdie told me that Digg was hiring "math geeks," though that does not always equate to math professors.
I guess if you find yourself daydreaming about coming up with equations to predict the layout of your cereal floating in the milk, that might be math geek.

Nah, I like what I do. I just got tenure. Besides, my expertise is very focused. My main focus is Galois module theory. It has applications in cryptography, but nothing practical. Certainly nothing that is used by mainstream programmers. *sigh*
Revision3 and Digg sound like WAY too much work for me anyway...

I am going to pursue the intern ship even though given my current situation it would require moving but this is something I feel is a great opportunity worth going after despite the many challenges and complications it throws in my way.

Tempting. Very tempting. Local, would be fun, but I don't know how it would work into my school schedule. Right now the company I'm with is allowing all the flexibility I need, plus it's handy to have a hundred or so experts on hand when I need them. And it's nice to get to see my BF during the day. In another month or so, if the intern position, probably the least-time-consuming, is still available, and the pay is at least on par with what I make right now, then I'll consider it. Analyzing phish and spam (no, I don't just look at it and decide it is or isn't, which even a 4-year-old could do, I hav to do stuff with it) is not what I want to do for the rest of my life.

I'm on the Ruby side of the fence. By the time I have my CS degree, I might have learned it and it might be my new forte. That's about 5 years. So, Rev3, you'd better be around then, and hiring.

A computer science degree != learning a bunch of programming languages. Once you know at least one language other languages tend to look less and less like gibberish. I know NOTHING about Python, yet I had a basic understanding as to the code that was posted in the python thread through working with other languages.
It's more like learning how to teach yourself to learn various languages and programming techniques.

I know waht a computer science degree. I was saying that by the time that I have the degree requirment for a Rev3 job done, I might have learned python. I know how to program. I've been doing php for years, javascript even longer, actionscript, ruby, etc.

As Nick put it, going to school for CIS/CS isn't so much about learning the languages, but rather to learn HOW to learn them when you need to know them, exactly as you said. I've decided to ignore everything I know about all languages (except HTML because I'm a LiveJournal junkie) and focus on what I'm leaning, which means my resume now looks like a kindergartener's. Except I have a (failed) start-up on there.
It's a lot easier to read other languages than to write a program from scratch still.
(I swear dating that guy can be intimidating - younger than me and brilliant and in the top 5% income bracket in the US already. What the hell is someone like him doing with someone still 5 years away from a masters?)

Or the difference between syntax (what you learn as a computer programer), and semantics (what you learn as a computer scientist - that allows you to adapt to multiple languages). Syntax is the easy part.

I know the difference between scripting languages, and programming languages.
Excel macros = scripting
html/css = scripting
Ruby = programming
Php = programming
Visual basic = programming
I'm not an idiot, and I'm not new to programming. I worked as a visual basic programmer for 8 years, before moving to doing freelance ruby/php web applications.

A quote from PHP.org ...
PHP is a widely-used general-purpose scripting language that is especially suited for Web development and can be embedded into HTML. Hmmm. They say it is a scripting language.

Rather than telling us which is scripting and which is programming, how about telling the difference? :)

As stated, semantics. Scripting languages, usually, are just for putting things in places. Such as tables, divs, etc. Programming languages use logic to interpret data and, usually, output a result.
You make it sound like I was saying '1'm teh b3st c0d3r ev4r'. And, no matter what the php site says, by definition it's a programming language.

Interns should be paying in reality. The skills you learn are very valuable.

Sometimes people that take internships are very low paid people in another job trying to earn a shot at a better job ..not always in school because they can't afford it or a bit older may not happen too often but it does happen.
