Exactly. That way I'll know if staying late is worth it. An hour of sleep doesn't "cost" the same at any time.

Good: * The idea is pretty interesting; I feel like I'm drunk, but I'm undersleeping the last few months. * The major reason I don't get enough sleep is that I need to binge from time to time to get things done or enjoy life.

Are you interested in a DX-sized device for reading PDFs? And how good is the DX for reading PDFs anyway? They are smaller than a A4/legal page, which I image will mean that things will look small, unless you want to zoom in an out, wh

I recently read "Kill everything that moves" which is about Vietnam ( http://www.amazon.com/Kill-Anything-That-Moves-American/dp/0... ). Apparently in Vietnam there was contempt for local life, massacres

I can't believe how many mistakes I made in this comment. Sleep deprivation isn't healthy, folks! And thanks for upvoting.

There is an easy answer - the operator is trained to ask for names and contact information on every call; all tech support, operators and customer service representatives do. If she doesn't there is a chance her call will be monitored

I think most of them do, contrary to the article. I have to deal with this all the time. DomainPeople does have the feature. It is also the registrar for Gate.com and Hostway.

I've moved 4 times in the last year and here are my tips (I'm trying not to duplicate anything in the TA or the other comments): 1. Bills. Make sure you are in agreement with your roomates about them - I had an issue with a roomat

Well, I'm not claiming that everything is just fine - the opposite of complete disarray. My point is that economics so burdened with controversy that its better to dismiss it.

Like supposedly scientists are split on Evolution, Global Warming and the Age of the Earth? I am a bit unfair, but economists agree on a lot of things like free trade, public health care (for it, since the 60s), price floors and ceilings, c

It is nonsense - the text was altered - with modified, added and removed words, that make it nonsense. This is why the latin translator doesn't translate it. It is based though on a Cicero text.

This is written by a Princeton colleague of Krumgman, not by himself. And Krugman is in no sense in power - he is an economist that works in private sector (for a newspaper and a private university) and hasn't had a job in government i

I may be ignorant here - but how does exactly bullying on the Internet work? I can understand the harm of being recognized from the Internet video, but you don't have to reveal your identity on chat-rooms, forums, etc. I imagine on a Facebo

I blame the over-reliance of the journalism profession on PR to get stories. Few bother to do their research nowadays and access to celebrities, company spokespeople and officials are prised more than actually useful information. You can se

How about emigrating? Check the conditions in different countries. Here often companies don't do background checks and to rent an apartment you only need to shake hands with the owner.

As I saw this news story over and over on different sites, all I thought was.. who is the PR genius behind this? What better way to establish yourself "The World's Biggest Porn Search Engine." than having non-porn media legitimize you for f

I think what was missing was theory - numeric systems, chemistry, electromagnetism and other sciences. In the Roman era science wasn't invented yet - they were excellent craftsmen and sometimes Greeks produced excellent ideas, but there wa

Quadrocopters are still unfeasible today, because their flight time is very limited.

The biggest problem I see is powering those little things. Their flight time will be measured in minutes with the current batteries. However, given the already remarkable proliferation of military drones I'm willing to take even speculation

Is there a chance this is a case of correlation studies reported as causation by the media? I find it unconvincing that it might protect against HIV. Personal incredulity and the endorsing of the WHO aside, how does that work?
