I agree that sleep is very important, but like I said before, I'd like to try polyphasic sleep. That would be an impressive hack, giving me more time and maximizing REM phases. Reduce multitasking - that is, focus in a single task at a time

Hahaha nice reference to "Hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy" in #5. Douglas Adam would be proud ;) I agree with you on the smartphone, I use an android flavoured device myself. The online calendar is a win as well, and it integrates great wi

Well, dropbox is just a personal online storage. That means that for $10 you can store up to 50Gb and you will be able to access it from anywhere. Github, on the other hand, is a distributed version control system, which means that many peo

Religion's also /caused/ all of the polar opposites you list - peace, life, healing, acceptance, tolerance, openness, women's rights, and advancements of the sciences, Could you please elaborate on how did religion cause peace... LIFE?????

I've done a search for pgp in the Android Market and found 2 applications: PGP Manager and APG. The first one costs 1,90€ although there is a free demo, and the second one is free.

Well I guess that it is ok to post humor on HN as long as it is intelligent humor or gives you some insight. It's banal humor which is not desired. I see some links to DailyWTF or XKCD from time to time and no one complains.
