Interesting, my hands are more precise when I'm on caffeine, and it also increases my ability to think logically + dulls my emotions (which helps when dealing with anything non-creative every day)...

Yes, but the quality of a good 3D printed gun will be better and it's easier to download the blueprints and literally print them rather than understand and build the gun yourself. I, too, used to stuff firecrackers down a pipe and shoot ste

Well, it's definitely possible to print a silencer, a pistol shouldn't be that much harder. I'm afraid that this would make the governments impose stricter laws on 3D printers, which is not a good thing...

I'd be pleased if I could just use my smartphone to control the glasses. The touch screen would act as a touchpad/keyboard, and the glasses as the display. For that reason, I also like the Lumus glasses more than Google Glass, at least at t

Well, to be fair, every government uses or at least has plans for these kind of tactics. KGB/FSB, Mossad, MI6, DGSE, otehr variations of a DSS agency - you've got to be very naive to believe they don't conduct covert operations and planned

Pride!? As far as I'm concerned, my ADHD can go f&&k itself! I don't know how many times I cursed and cried because I just couldn't focus on what I need to do, instead finding myself doing some BS that didn't matter. I'm more easily

That's a pretty good idea: it's like public roads: normally, they're used by the citizens, but if there's a VIP guest or a military situation, the government can clear and use them for themselves only. Makes sense to do the same with freque

It's probably much simpler than that. You know that study where most people chose to be the top dog of a small group instead of being part of a larger group, but only a subordinate? Same goes here. Besides, maybe she really believes she can

That's also how chain hoists work - I'm still amazed at how much you can lift using one! I actually thought the article will be about Biopace bike chain rings: bikers are using them as an advantage in races (and it really makes sense!).

Damn, I've been using SkyDrive to store OneNote notebooks for easy sharing and editing. Never thought they actually check private folders - yet another reason to never store any sensitive or important information in the cloud...

Why is this a surprise to anyone? Governments will always want to have as much info as possible on anyone, especially their own citizens, and the US has been number 1 for a long time. With Facebook, Twitter and face recognition, privacy is

The article is pretty funny, but it's all true: the complexity of our brain is just beyond our imagination at the moment. Saying that we could preserve the brain or make a copy of it is like saying that rockets are just open ended combustio

I think part of what makes it harder to make "true friends" when you're older is that everyone is more independent and it takes a lot of work to get a person to consider you for a true friend. What I mean is, when you're in high school and

I just checked out the service and I don't understand what's with the hate? It's a Pinterest/Delicious/LastPass mashup, and while I would not trust them with my passwords (they really should rephrase that explanation, or give a real overvie

Damn, the UK is pretty f'ed up - the list of things that British citizens can't enjoy compared to a lot of other countries (even developing ones) is growing every day. Meanwhile, a criminal could easily just store everything on an encrypted

Instead of overpaying, I think it's better to get the best product you can for the money you have. It does require you to learn how to recognize quality and know the prices, but it pays off in the end. For example, I wouldn't buy a Ferrari

Hmm, since this is based on analyzing existing data, the system will most likely be useless for companies that want to do something new or something niche-specific. Not a good thing for an investment company, unless they always want to play

I still don't understand what Rocketr does :-). It's like a shared notebook, right? I've been using the OneNote WebApp lately for collaborative work (mainly sharing ideas/notes) and while it's not perfect, it's better than Google docs IMO.

That's definitely a step in the right direction - I know it was pretty hard to open a GmbH just a few years ago (2009 I believe). Germany is much more entrepreneur-friendly, too. All the back and forth with papers isn't that hard, but why

Obviously the writer never tried to actually start a small business in any of the countries mentioned. It's so needlessly complicated and full of bureaucratic measures that the entrepreneurs have to turn to bribery and illegal corner-cuttin

I'm 22. Fortunately, when it comes to deadlines, if I need to sleep, I'll just take a 30-90 minutes nap, then work another several hours. I'd have to catch up and sleep like 12 hours later, though...

"Stress and sleep loss are shortening your life..." - you don't say?! I guess I'm fortunate in this regard - my body will take its 6-9 hours a day no matter what - when I'm really tired, nothing short of an imminent physical threat can stop

I just can't help but think that Nikola Tesla was right - he had the same idea (and possibly the means to do it) a full century ago... We'd also be driving electric cars today if not for the oil and auto industries (read up on how they buri

No way man, if I was immortal, I could work on stuff without worrying that I'll get old and never finish it. And there's plenty to work on, for sure...

As most of these companies are Web-based and use automated systems for support, it makes little sense for them to implement call centers with live operators. It's not an issue of scalability IMHO (although it's harder to scale telephony tha

Yeah, they are: I'm still amazed how people comment on the ugliness of my smartphone (the first Droid) - yeah, it's bulky, get over it. Some take a look at my laptop (Elitebook 8530, quad core) and ask if it's from like, "1999 LOL". Not t
