The variation I do on this is cycles of train and forget. So I look at a problem, read up on it, have a good hack around the edges of it, then deliberately go away from it and leave it be and either focus on another unrelated problem, or ju

I work, sometimes when I have to and sometimes when I find something interesting to do. The thing is, so many well paid jobs seem to consist largely of ephemera, while the people I see doing useful things within society are usually paid les

I always thought that in some parallel universe, Clifford Stoll has a pretty successful stand-up career. In this one he makes lovely klein bottles for people though, so we might have the better deal - http://www.kleinbottle.com/

The disgusting stench of moochers, as you so delightfully put it, by which I am guessing you mean the unemployed, is largely the end result of the automation of production starting with the agricultural revolution, and not a creation of the

I'm glad they didn't try to see what would happen if he stopped eating eggs. At the age of 88, and given that he has done this solidly for so very long, they could accidentally kill him by putting him on a more average diet. What would be e

ethernet is relatively stable, whereas new wireless protocols and upgrades come out all the time. I would rather have wireless through usb or as a component of a daughterboard via the onboard bus, than soldered onto the board.

Seeing a number of moochers feigning disability for unearned dole outs, is surely the most common disgust of our times. If you really think that is true then you possibly need to get out a lot more, we got this whole banking crisis, massi

So from now on, politicians could just sing all the reports they want to bury to the tune of popular songs, and the automated copyright filters would take care of the exposure problem. And now for the budget, this year sung to the tune of "

There's a large series of events before a non-criminal who isn't absolutely insane decides to attack you. Firstly, you are demonstrably wrong, and as evidence, I would put forward around 20% of nightclub door security as exhibit A. Also I

You are completely misreading him, as far as I can tell. He says: I'm not seeking to be awarded money. I just want my Glass fixed, and it would also be nice if McDonald's would see fit to support vision research. Which means in any sane
