You wouldn't happen to have a link to the study you mention, would you?

Excellent point. I suppose books could be kept in libraries for atmosphere, even if nobody used them. Funny how a sensible point, when approached from the wrong angle, can be rendered nonsensical.

Made me laugh, but McDonald's has that plus food.

I interpreted Hacker News to be news for hackers, not necessarily news about hacking. Edit: I see that sli posted the same thing farther down. My bad for not reading the whole thread first >.<

How, out of curiosity, would one go about checking whether the article has already been posted a hundred times?

There's definitely something wrong with this link.

I like this better than what I came up with, but there are parts of it I still don't understand. I'm reading it like this: the new paint represents the growing neurons, and when the neurons grow that's increasing your potential brainpower.
