With Quickly, I remember what uhh it does, I just can't remember what languages it supports.

You probably already know this, but mostly all modern CPU's (within the last 5+ years, I could be wrong on some accounts) are actually 64 bit, so I believe and I might be wrong, you are losing some optimizations.

Also its your RAM + Videocard Memory that is your memory, so while you might have say 4 gig, and it would seem to show up on your computer, its including your video card memory.

So wait, how does that work with the first "hacker" then. Does it mean it tails out. I mean the first "hacker" had to term himself a hacker, but by that logic only a "hacker" can be deemed a "hacker" by another true "hacker". Thusly every current "hacker" isn't a hacker then. <head-implode>AAHHHH</head-implode>

This sort of line that people take, "Humans are destroying the planet". Annoys me. The thing is, the only damage we are doing to the planet is making it harder for ourselves to live on it, life will continue to thrive after us in some form or another.

A proper amount of sleep, say 8 hours is usually creamy for myself, your mileage may vary. For myself at least, I find that if I don't get proper sleep that the performance lost over the awake time just isn't worth skimping on sleep. That and I feel like shit.

Starship Troopers. Began and finished off 1984 after all the hubbub about it recently on HN.

I cannot agree enough with you on that. Mostly it felt to me when I was in high school that it was such a repetitive rote/forced way of learning.

Which disgusts me these days especially when I am insanely passionate about learning new things and ideas.

This actually sounds really neat. I mean some people mind find it not to their taste and all of that, but I think its a step in the right direction for development on Linux(Ubuntu in this case) if similar projects pop up. Are there many similar projects that aim at a quick deployment scenarios?

Well I spend silly amounts of time on learning, reading, thinking, dreaming about and actually coding. So I guess I classify as a hacker. As someone else said, a good one, probably not compared to the "stars", although I feel I do have my moments. Mostly just enjoy coding and learning about software development that its quite a treat.

Ha ha, with talk like that it had to be a MBA.

Mind you this article/essay was written quite some time ago now, several years at least.
