   I'm always blown away by the 2,5 hour documentary on the first DVD-release of Star Wars (IV-VI). I think it is this one: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0416716/plotsummary

   How does old money separates it from new money? I can't think of anything less nerdy/geeky than an Iphone or Iwhatever - everyone have them now. New money. Being a consumer of new tech things and download fart apps does not make you a nerd.

    I have the philosophy that "I am what I create". To me programming is art and the possibility for me to express myself. I also like reading other peoples code, not only to learn more - following other peoples line of thinking is awesome and

    What I find interesting is that the best programmers among my friends usually have very outdated systems. They can do anything with a computer and can afford top of the line stuff, and still have over 5 year old hardware. I was like that to

    My code is only good until someone rewrites it and makes it better. I can make my code easy to read and follow and do what it is supposed to do, and thus easy to rewrite. That is good code. Good code is definitely not something intricately

    Take the runoff water from the road with high nitrates and collect it in ditches with algae or Hydrilla absorbing CO2. Convert the algae/aquatic plants into bio diesel or dry it and make soil for plant nurseries. Edit: Taken from Wikipedias
