Music is even worse for me than chatter. I think it's because I'm a musician, I can't help but concentrate on it. One other thing I've noticed about myself in this regard is that annoying noise irrationally enrages me when I'm trying to con

My brain must be wired differently. I listened to that for about three minutes before I wanted to pull my hair out. The only ambient sound I've ever been productive listening to is rain. I've tried to work in coffee shops before. Every few

> Err... bigger isn't always better, but I won't say no to a bigger noggin. There is evidence that our heads would have kept growing if it wasn't for the fact that it makes it pretty likely that women will die in childbirth. So instead

I have seen this screwed up time and time again. People who don't know how all this works shouldn't be writing C++, but they do and I have to deal with the things they break. Most of my code isn't broken by incompetent colleagues, it's inco

boost has many problems, but I think not using any of it just because some parts of it are bad isn't very useful. In this particular example it is very easy to screw it up. Your way involves many more lines of code and use of the preprocess

Even better: class foo : boost::noncopyable { public: foo(); };

The problem is one of statistics. Whenever they pull someone over, which is often, they have to judge what you're going to do. For them, the chances of you doing something crazy like speeding off, pulling a gun, etc. is not insignificant. T

Attacking someone's work is not ad Hominem. If he called him an asshole or some other unrelated insult that would be ad Hominem. If just listing the guys work comes off as insulting, you gotta wonder...

My research has led me to believe that only an adrenaline surge can produce this. The thing to note about this is that it essentially impossible to not seriously hurt yourself when you do this. You will tear the muscles. They are operatin

I've heard good things about that book, I probably should get a copy. I didn't word my question very well. I was wondering where you got your examples. None of the ADHD info I've read says anything about shyness or eye contact. A child p

This is kind a little off topic but I have a question for you. I am in the middle of being diagnosed with ADHD (I'm 30). It was actually HN that prompted me to take action, but that's another story which I can expand on if anyone is intere
