Ah I see, thanks. That officer sure did do you a favor :D

>In the end I got kicked from the guild for doing something I shouldn't have, which was probably the best thing that could've happened.

Ok, now I'm curious. I'm just thinking with 16h/day you're fairly hardcore, guilds must be after ppl like you, no? Why the kick, if you care to elaborate?

I have heard the same thing. Someone I know smokes rarely, but he plays chess online quite often. He tells me after every time he smokes (probably just one or two joints) his performance is noticeably worse for a week after. And this is from someone who just smokes maybe once a month if at all, daily smoking could impair your cognitive abilities a lot more. But then again this is all more or less anecdotes, still seems to be something about it though.

This! If you're watching futurama for the 10th time, you have to wonder if your time might be put to more use elsewhere. It's actually quite funny, not only makes pot stuff more interesting, you also forget a lot of details which makes is much easier to do them again and again and ....

(Regarding your marijuana point: I have seen the impact of daily pot smoking on friends, and it is quite real. I have also seen the effect go away when they stopped smoking. Sounds like a cliché out of a book on morals, but it is the truth

Hi fredoliveira

Would you mind elaborating on this a little? It's an area of personal interest. Only for scientific reasons of course ;)

"Fuck I dropped my laptop" ?

At which point he has user access to your machine anyway... so the point is kind of moot.

Say I have a quadcore with hyperthreading, does this mean 4 + 8 + 1? Or is it either the physical or the logical cores (whichever is higher)?

About 3 years back I used them and back then ie6 didnt' work out of the box. And the windows root cert update didn't help either back then.

Just wondering, is this under Linux or Windows? And what version? Thanks in advance.

Ok, I'm really unsure, I was absolutely certain this whole article was a joke. But the comments don't seem to reflect that. This is actually happening? Putting your kids to sleep with an iPhone? What ever happened to singing?

Holt sh!t I read it all. Do I get a cookie?

On a more serious note, seeing that the author is not exceptionally trustworthy (apparently), how much of it is real and how much isn't? Seems plausible to me at least, but I wouldn't know for what to look out.

I've considered this. (Getting a Phil deg. altough I'm a geek and want to work in a technical field). Any pointers maybe? Is this a viable route?

Soon, all the ladies and all the creeps will be sitting at home, afraid to do anything, waiting for the other party to make a move. We've now got Dating Cold War!

Thanks a lot, this looks very interesting. Maybe on the overkill side, but I'm kinda hooked.

He's dead, he won't mind.

Could you elaborate on this? Normally I don't care about politics, but this does sound interesting.

Just thought I'd add this, here in Europe (Switzerland to be precise) nobody I've ever met uses Twitter. Facebook is omnipresent (omnipotent? ;)), but most folk don't even seem to know of Twitter (apart from techies, but still no users). Of course, small sample size etc.

I can't watch this video and read the subtitles. If your main language is German (and you've actually seen the original movie) it just doesn't work. I get pulled into the movie and just can't focus on the subtitles. Also trying to read wrong subtitles hurts my brain.

If you have 100x as many users, you will look like an idiot to 100x as many users too.

wget or curl come to my mind

Let me just say this: A tucked in tshirt looks bad. Shirt tucked is something else, but a tucked tshirt just doesn't look right. It's like trousers that are a little short. Not horrible, but just not right.

I have no idea what any of this means.

This "article" seems to be very light on basically anything. Especially facts. How much karma does it take on HN to vote things down?

https should stop your ISP from spying, no?

What's the deal with Safeway Icecream? Never heard of it.

>when group cohesion was essential to fight off abrupt attacks from stampeding _wildebeests_

I couldn't help but to laugh at the mental picture.

But English has rules too. Not as clear cut as German, but you wouldn't say 'sup mate?' to you boss, you use a different vocabulary when talking to a superior.

Just this morning in fact, when I got out of bed.

>The German speaking part of the web to me seemed utterly boring,

I feel you, and also the German web ist full of grammar nazis, which is, admittetly, kinda funny. (Plus the mods in most forums seems to be on some sort of power trip)
