Zen is not a philosophy; it's a technique. Not unlike masturbation.

I like your title better. I can already name a large number of things that a deaf woman and an endangered woodpecker have in common. I think people vote up long, uninformative titles like this one because they secretly dread the prospect of

When will stuff like this stop passing for humor? You can take any set of facts, grossly exaggerate it, and then deadpan it. You could probably write a program to do it for you.

What exactly "kind of thing" do you mean?

"Like it is"? Have you read their "Case for War"? Thanks to the English magazine's clever rhetorical strategy, calibrating an effective mixture of aristocratic contempt, two-notches-smarter-than-Newsweek diction, and occasional anti-elitis

When I finally did meet [Arrington], I was surprised. He was polite and complimented Uncov. I think he realizes that it's just the internet, [etc] Yeah, he probably "realizes". Or, he doesn't think it's very smart to argue with a troll wh

Alternatively, you could go and live a life, so that you might have something to write about.

Are there ways to make yourself more driven?

Heh. I saw this on Reddit today and thought, "for all its faults, at least news.yc would never have that on the front page".

"Words break if you push them too far" -PG I think we are at that point now--at least I am, when I try to reason using the terms of our previous discussion. (I just realized that this is an excellent copout when you lose an argument about a

>we're alive, aren't we? So the odds can't be much less than 1/(number of planets in the universe) That argument takes for granted that the probability space comprises only the things in our observable universe. In other words, it claim

Probably not. Advertising is slowly becoming less like brainwashing and more like a valuable service to the consumer. Where there is value, there will be money. The only limit on that value I can think of will be reached when Google (or who

Intentional or not, it's probably a bad idea. I think most hackers would be repulsed by the idea of a community where users try to be on their best behavior, lest the divine hand should pass them by. This is probably why you don't see many

That can't be the final product. I'd bet money on it.

No, I probably wouldn't, and our discourse would be poorer for it. Anonymity guarantees honesty and impartiality. Face to face, why would I want to make an enemy out of you, when I could make a useful acquaintance? It's not like I get paid

What annoys me is not the wasted space, though. It's the principle of it. You're imparting information in the readers of your comments that has no other purpose than to serve your ego. When I read a comment, I only look at who wrote it when

Clearly, you're an outlier. Most people here wouldn't presume to waste everyone's time and screen space with "John" at the end of every comment.

Do you realize that all of what you said applies to Paris Hilton, too?

Assignments and exams are much less important than being around your intellectual peers every day. If instead of going to a university, you moved into a big house with 50 other smart, ambitious guys and a big room full of textbooks on every

Ahh, so you assassinated the dean of science, and counterfeited his paperwork! Seriously though, thanks for replying. I did actually take classes at a Community College at the same time as when I was in high school, and I really hated it.

How does one get into a university without a high school diploma? Is it possible to get into a good one? I dropped out of high school, and thinking that college would be more of the same, I didn't even consider applying. This was a mistake

Me too (and everyone else, it seems), but I wonder how much of this is Forer Effect. If you go through his description point by point, you'll see that each thing is something that people like to think of themselves, or tend to notice in the

So do you agree that it's ugly on the outside? If not, then people who think so might not want to take your word for how it feels inside, either.

Is indentation also a crutch that keeps your hacking muscles from developing? As far as I can tell, arguments for and against both are exactly the same. If you like one and not the other, it's a sign that these are matters of personal prefe

The more regular your sleeping schedule is, the more likely you are to be a "morning person". So if there is causation, it's probably the other way around: who you are determines how you sleep. That's pretty boring.

If the audience is shallow enough to like a site more based on the founder's age, it's only fitting that he should lie about it. Caesar's to Caesar.

Just out of curiosity: do you use speech recognition software, or do your fingers just naturally tend to type "armature" instead of "amateur"?
