I hate FaceBook. It's like living in a college dorm. Without the intellectual bits.

If you are already sleep-deprived, the risk is that you won't wake up, or wake up and decide to go back to sleep. The caffeine prevents taking too long of a nap.

I don't agree, even an "awake nap" can be refreshing.

by wrinklz 17y ago
I took "caffeine naps" all the time in college, usually just before all-nighters. Mind hacking was popular sport in the late 70's. I remember trying one or two "blotter naps", also. Good morning!!

Let's not forget that Google owns "G", so I guess Go! will just have to change it's name to O!

Yes, I'm starting an internet company called "Yahoo", which shouldn't cause any confusion with that other company, "Yahoo!", widely known as "Yahoo Bang". Right, give me a break. :)

Yeah, right, and Warren Buffet hand writes his annual reports, which his secretary mimeographs and sends by carrier pigeon to stockholders. Give me a fucking break.

It's a crappy website. The navigation sucks. It's a hodgepodge of inline and external style sheets. Links to pdfs with no warnings of such. Sure he knows how to invest money, but that doesn't mean his website isn't crap. It's just to show h

"In the midst of this pickle, along comes a fellow named Adam Englund. He’s a local lawyer..." I wouldn't trust 20 billion of the taxpayer's money to a lawyer's vision. Give half of that to the Dyson vacuum cleaner guy. He'll come up with a

Twining's loose-leaf Earl Grey (the square yellow can) is the perfect coffee replacement. With honey and milk, it pushes all the right buttons with minimal sugar/caffeine bounce.

It's the exceptional hackers that generally catch these problems early and patch them before they become a big problem, that is true.

If this were posted to Reddit, then a quick explanation of what git and vim are, and why a wrapper is so useful would make sense. But this is Hacker News for heaven's sake.

Multitasking is often necessary but can decrease focus and productivity, I agree. But I often require several apps to complete a single task. So hiding apps wouldn't help me be productive. I find judicial use of "Spaces" along with 2 or thr

We should add Guest Login to the list. Because nothing focuses the mind like total data loss. (OK it almost certainly affects productivity, but 1 out of 2 ain't bad.)

Perhaps scaring people from "the cloud" was part of the Borg's plan...

The reluctance of some people to back up their online data is a testament to the general dependability of online services. More screwups like this one, or like Magnolia recently, can only serve to scare folks from "the cloud", or teach them

That doesn't apply to Danger/Sidekick. I had one 4years ago and synced regularly on PC and Mac.

I used to back up my Sidekick on a PC and a Mac. There's no excuse for not backing up the data, at least not for the last 4 years or so.

Spoken like a true, "objective", small-identity scientist. The problem with that view is that we all do have an identity, and attempting to deny, suppress, or "put aside" our identity is fairly impossible. A better path IMHO, is to realize

Web development is best practiced in the Python framework Django, on an Apple MacBook Pro with the Dvorak keyboard using the TextMate editor. Left-handed, of course. (Just kidding about Django, Rails will do as well.)
