Amazing! Now there's a name for this experience. I was a server admin for Tetrinet2 and naturally had all my friends playing for hours at a time. We all talked about how we'd dream falling blocks, the background music, etc.

Disagree. He's not being "handled". It's essentially all in his head. And no, I wouldn't seek attention like this. There is no upside. You fight the case in court. That's where the battle is. His essay only hurts him. To be clear, he

That makes sense. His jump to conclusions made the essay longer and more convoluted and confusing than of he just said "I need legal assistance and I don't have any funds. Help!"

Why aren't we reading about that, and instead reading about zionists and why a judge denied him a public defender for a misdemeanor drug charge unrelated to the computer security issue?

I upvoted you for bringing clarity to why he was denied a public defender. The fact that he can't get a public defender because no charges higher than the misdemeanors were filed against him is, like you said, a good thing. He misundersto

Why is it "shameful"? It wasn't clear whether or not weev even asked the EFF/others to defend. It seems like he only asked the judge for a public defender and was denied, and then he ranted about that for awhile. Did he ask others to defen

I'm still not convinced that his rights were violated. He says they are, but this is a guy who wrote a giant essay about his case, and then published it on the net, and ended it with a plea for donations/money. If I were in his shoes, I

He definitely needs to get an attorney to prevent him from writing future statements/positions in public. Now whomever represents him will have a much harder time defending him since he's written an entire essay on the matter. Each and ev

If your objective is to stretch the $20K out over a long while through reducing your living expenses, I don't doubt you could make it last if clever enough. However, if your objective is to turn that $20K into a much higher sum and gain muc

Not sure why you were taught that. If you walk into any financial planner's office and tell them you're in your 20's, they will set up your investment portfolio to be almost 100% stocks. They will then tell you that as you get older, they

When you're setting up a central storage for all your home content, 100GB is nothing -- you need to start speaking in terms of TB's. So, for now, the best thing is to do local=realtime, and cloud=selective backup/cache. I've set it up like
