   Nop, and I don't want any. I'm planning on getting a vasectomy but in my country (I'm from Europe) you have to be at least 35, married, and with two kids. Nonsense. So I'll have to travel abroad to get it done.

    I never listen to music while doing anything that required mental focus and/or which involves learning. I did listen to music when doing less demanding things like making a (simple) website.

    I use windows defender because it comes with windows 8 and it's enabled by default (if that counts). I don't remember the last time I was infected by malware though.

    >Bullshit. That's just your own very subjective opinion of UI preferences. >I personally [...] You're rather rude there. I don't agree with what you said and I can say the same thing about your statement. I know plenty

    Thanks so much for posting this. There are so many MOOCs that I want to take but can't due to other stuff which have precedence (like university) and even though this is completely out of my field of study it looks interesting and at t
