Well, you could analyze how the human brain performs tasks that computers can't seem to do very nicely (either because our algorithms to do those tasks aren't very good, or because of some sort of inherent limitation). Among these tasks are

I've had a little over a hundred open at one point... I go browsing on HN and reddit a lot. I click on a bunch of different links to open in new tabs, and once the tabs start overflowing, I move them to different tab groups, and eventually

I am curious why "tits or gtfo" is on the list, considering that it is designed to piss off women. It's still awful and is probably one of the most vulgar things you could say to anyone... but do actual professionals say stuff _that_ offens

I am wondering why the MAC address is md5 hashed. There are only so many possible MAC addresses for most consumer electronics. Couldn't you just find the md5 hash for all of them and basically create a rainbow table?
