I have a bachelors in Physics. When I finished my bachelors I took a long look at my odds of getting a job in physics, then moved to Silicon Valley and marketed myself as a software developer. I'm now about a year out from finishing my PhD in Aerospace Engineering, and I've been working at NASA for the past three years.

It's nice to read all the other survivor stories in this thread of those of us that spent years studying to be physicists only to be crushed by reality. Physics is tough, and I'm happy to read that many folks here have found success in the field.

This is one of my favorite posts. I really enjoyed working with the IRG at Ames. A lot of people at Orbital Insight came from Ames.

The Archive is also legally a library, which allows them to get away with a lot of things that companies cannot.

Also, doesn't the IA have specific privileges given it by Congressional legislation at some point? I seem to recall that coming up in abandonware discussions.

https://archive.org/about/dmca.php - it looks like the exemptions applied to everyone, for 3 years at least.

Sorry, it works for me. Google it if you're still having trouble. Maybe it's not available to you for some reason.

Definitely do this. They will host it so that others can access it freely and forever and they'll also make a torrent for it. Just get in touch with somebody who works with the collections or feel free to PM me.

Doesn't look like it! Will be excited to see this though.

Care to link back to the github repository?

I googled it: https://github.com/nileshtrivedi/rails-starter-app

Oops, don't know how I missed that. Thanks :)
