As all the disturbing seems to occur at any time of the day there might be any amount of individuals behind this. There might also be some background processes lurking on my computer and actions of the remote users might partially be driven by computer algorithms.

I've installed the OS (Windows) multiple times (including formatting the hard drive) and I've bought lots of relatively expensive and high quality hardware like Asrock Extreme Pro 4, Nvidia GTX 780, HyperX memory and a very fast AMD processor, but it might even be that one or more of the components or their drivers have made the matters even worse (easier to the attacker). I also believe that one of the installed hardware components is malicious in some way (maybe by design?).

Do not doubt me.

It'd be better, if there were enough differentiating contextual cues (like on light mobile versions of websites), while reading an article in a news aggregator. It's a matter of layout and UI design skills (from both parties).

Yes, it is probable that when multiple parties (anyone with a website) do their own graphics design without consulting and coordinating with others, it can not be expected that the results fit nicely together. But the issue still stands.. there isn't enough mood to perceive, while using a RSS-aggregator.

(continues..)

* Smaller universities are been merged, because of "quality and competitiveness". "Small universities are just not powerful enough", it has been said.

* Finland tends to like to streamline usage of multiple information systems by either making them more interoperable or by designing a new national enterprise architecture afresh. For example, we (almost) have this "The National Archive of Health Information (KanTa)", which "is the name of the national data system services for healthcare services, pharmacies and citizens. The services include the electronic prescription, Pharmaceutical Database, My Health Information, and Patient Records Archive." It will replace the need for separate, smaller information systems, to be able to communicate with each other as all the data in different systems can be seen (by permission) through this central system. Same will later apply to museum and library -related data (applies to other countries too as they are dropping the usage of older national standards and are moving to use international standards).

Now.. I'd like to peak to the future just to see, what happens after it, when all the big reorganizings have been done. And no, I don't belong to any political party or support "officially" any of them. I'm just a person, who tend to design and implement (smallish) ICT-based solutions of his own.

I was about to quote the same, so I'll pick up the next paragraph from the same interview: "Blogs, TV, newspapers, and magazines barely do a good job helping us understand the news of the day, let alone the larger issues of the world. TV, newspapers, and magazines are largely advertising driven; so stories that offend advertisers get killed. And blogs can be a little better, but it’s a difficult format for expressing big, new ideas and mostly people just read blogs about old ones."

That interview had been done in May 2007. Has he said anything similar after that?

I'm beginning to see a pattern here. No matter, where I post my posts/comments, there will be 1 or more, who will include few "loaded" words to their comments and thus it will render the whole discussion as almost useless. Single words can be ultimate weapons, even when partial, if they are crafted to be irritating enough. Sadly, this seems to be the only game certain kind of people are willing to learn to play (playing with simple semantic meanings and guessing next moves of others). It is a very lame game, but does it matter to them, if it is said to them? Ofcourse not. Usually it is more subtle.

You probably have an answer ready, so go head. Say what you had already planned to say (read: say what your friends in your social circles planned that you should say).

It was a joy to read that.

I'd still like to learn more about how others experience what has been in Paul Graham's text and what I myself described. I mentioned possible lack of dopamine, but I could also add after-effects of jogging (I rarely code anything before doing such, because I think so much better after aerobic exercise).

Generally speaking, I'd like to learn why it could (sometimes) happen that mentioned "withdrawing" process starts too early and happens too quickly. It has a lot to do with different biological systems (circulatory system, endocrine system, nervous system, etc.).

Yes, more input fields could be added, but it might be decided that, for some obscure reason, they won't be. What might the company's interface designer having friend, who has tendency to become seemingly depressed at times, think at that point?

Other interesting questions include, but are not limited to the following. How was the decision explained to the employees? What kind of opinion did medical advisor for the company have?

Even when your suggestion is highly sophisticated, I'd rather stay non-paranoid, which itself is often just a description given by others and at that time not an actual condition or mental state. Anyway, I would certainly be interested to read about new studies related to Van Eck phreaking (or similar). Google-search revealed mostly the same old stuff that were there years ago.

I'm sure that signal processing and abilities to adjust signal-to-noise -ratio have generally developed upwards since 2006 (or something).
