I had it a few years back. I had fever with headaches and couldn't eat much because I kept puking after every meal. I got admitted to hospital and they found that my platelet count was dropping as well. They were preparing for the possibili

This would work until you meet someone who gives you an insightful idea five minutes after hearing your problem while you've been breaking your head on it for a couple of days. I've lost track of the number of times I've felt like an idiot.

In my case, if the site becomes important to me, I change my password for that site. Except for certain sites, I don't make use of the browser remembering passwords feature.

I started with Haskell because it forces you to write programs in a functional way. If you're interested, Learn You a Haskell for Great Good ( http://learnyouahaskell.com/ ) is an excellent introduction.

This can be applied to any site that offers value. Before Stack Overflow, it was whether Google was making you dumber. In my specific case, no, SO has not made me dumber. I've learnt heck of a lot from that site.

Specs are only ever irrelevant if there is only one product out there. The analogy with Coke and Pepsi don't really work (to me anyway) because you can try both out and can differentiate by taste. In addition, they both serve only one purpo

I agree. I like going out to eat at good restaurants, attending a concert, maybe watch a game at a stadium. These cost money. Ultimately, to a certain extent money allows you to do things that give you enjoyment. If you can afford it, then
