I tend to agree that intelligence is text based and that touch is great - I have a sony reader touch and I absolutely love e-ink. Why? It's not luminescent!!! I can't go from a luminescent screen doing dev work all day to reading another lu

I was going to say his partner is smoking the crack. That design would have been atrocious in 1996. I see frames that aren't sized right on my 1920x1200, a 404 AND a goo goo dolls song that I somehow think they didn't pay royalties for. Bor

This change really irritates me, as does the styling changes of the tabs. Enough so that "customize ubuntu" goes from the fun list to the todo list.

Hopefully they will allow you to talk to people on your friends list or guild regardless of their score or they're shooting themselves in the foot and killing the social aspect of the game.

lol dude hilarious? No, I don't need to get liver function tests or to do other things. 4-5 hours vs 6 is meaninglessly different for this discussion. I just said it's only useful in the morning and you come back with you have to stop 8 hou

I actually also mean : stop letting every negative event that occurs set you into a downward spiral of negative emotions. My philosophical beliefs are that the vast majority of people allow themselves to put far, far too much energy into ne

This is utter nonsense. Why is it that you assume that negative emotions are necessary and valid? I'll read the rant and maybe learn something from it. If the girl doesn't respond to me, there's a reason for it. Pain is a fleeting thing, le

On the other hand side, people should just man the hell up and stop caring. OMG somebody sent me an angry email. I've gotten dozens, who cares? OMG the girl on the dating site didn't respond to me, along with the other 500 I messaged, who c

This is how all drugs work... my understanding is that 300 mg per day for three weeks leads to full caffeine tolerance and you need to cycle clear at that point.

by keefe 17y ago
I think you're kind of missing the point. Because caffeine binds to adenosine receptors, it prevents you from entering the deepest phase of sleep, so even though you sleep, you don't get your full rest. Caffeine half life is 6 hours, so imh

"Life is pain, anyone who tells you different is selling you something." If you need the performance boost for a certain period of time, fuck the withdrawal. It's not that bad.

Grad school is writing and reading papers, not writing code (most of the time). Learn LaTeX and subscribe to ACM digital library and get to reading. You're expected to have programming skills in advance (at least where I went) but you shoul

We may have different goals in mind... I have a bunch of PDFs I need to get to my sony reader, for example academic papers. I want them to look basically OK, which I don't "think" is an AI hard problem. Detecting any text that represents a

The graphic is totally useless, the same information could have been conveyed in 30 lines of text. An "infographic" should have some kind of graph or chart or something that adds insight, not a picture of 9 playstations and a dopey flow cha

How can you change someone's fundamental attitude if fear doesn't work? I'm not sure you can and I'm not even sure fear is all that effective in the long term. Either they want to develop themselves, or they don't.

I was so skeptical of this title and after reading the article, it actually makes a lot of sense. I'm still skeptical of the solution. I wonder about just picking a timezone and storing all timestamps relative to that timezone - doing the c

With the speed at which technology is advancing, there's really no excuse for this attitude. It's also a common, general personality failure. If a person has no love of knowledge by nature and the fear of competition cannot engender it, the

I was going to respond to your post anyway, but given that my mom was a food arranger [at least it was a common task at her marketing firm] for some years now I really had to throw that in there... Definitely right question, wrong place. It

You're better off with EC2+EBS because EBS allows you to attach permanent storage to your device just as you are accustomed to. S3 is more for backups etc.

Total nonsense. I don't care about sports, I find the exercise banal, so I'm not going to be invested in it. It's even easier to determine someone's passion by talking with them than it is their coding ability.

I think the same is true of all martial arts, based on my experience with traditional karate (I trained with a man who received his black belt from Funakoshi)
