My productivity pretty much consists that today is not today it's a day two weeks from today, it's March 12 not Feb 26, if something needs to be done it should be done "today".

The * often states it;s without wifi on and at 50% screen brightness, so that's pretty much the same thing.

I'm more amazed at currency being accepted at all, the North Korean "Super $100" I hear is nearly perfect but slot machine bill validators still rejected it. It's one thing to have custom made chips with RFID, notches, decals and who knows

Yes but for the entire country! That's a lot of real estate under one time zone, it may be silly to have summer and winter times but having one time zone for a country approximately the same size as Canada (5,000km wide) seems silly, Canad

It's odd how you look at that and go "hunh" but then realize, wait a minute who took the picture of the Milky Way Galaxy? It's a graphic of course but still you forget what you're looking at and how far away and how big it is.

> HN is fairly anti-reddit I don't get that impression here at all, quite often you'll see Reddit articles on HN linked back to Reddit. I agree HN is more industry focused and professional and Reddit a lot more laid back but still can b

This is going to suck, software gets bloated far faster than network hardware can be developed and certainly faster than network hardware can be installed. New services such as Netflix and who knows what else is coming down the line (3D Ne

I've read conflicting accounts from different news articles. Some articles state the bomber's handler sends a text message to the bomber to say when to detonate the bomb, to maximize terror, but this situation seems like the text message a

Those "You will" AT&T commercials with Tom Selleck always amaze me or the Quest one where the motel in the desert has every movie ever made, Tek War is pretty good too.

> Maybe even for the rest of the world except the US? No, Canada is pretty bad too. I don't know anyone under the age of 30 who cooks, all they do is eat out every single day for every meal. If they do cook at home it's a frozen pizza o

Very few burglars would bother to enter a house with people in it, the risk is too great for a few unknown things unless they knew something very valuable was there and worth the risk.

My Aunt ditched AOL this past summer she was still on dial-up! Now she is on DSL and a bit nervous it's such a change after ten or more years. It's a powerful thing to have that support, AOL start page/"walled garden" instead of the wide o

I wonder how that aligns with age, does each generation get fatter as they hit a certain age, the parents' eating habits get worse and that is passed on to their children. It seems as if California went back, less bodyfat, a bit in the 198

The article never stated it was a flatscreen or CRT monitor but if radiation was detected I'd say it must have been a CRT monitor. It may be the lead in the glass, lead is already slightly radioactive and being bombarded by x-ray probably

It was going along well the first two or three years and then it's like someone flipped a switch and turned on the douchebag magnet, then the ultra-right wing nutjobs arrived in droves. That's when I stopped commenting and pretty much left.
