  1. Re:They're still going to want more money by judoguy · · Score: 1 · on There Is a Point At Which It Will Make Economical Sense To Defect From the Electrical Grid (qz.com)

    What? You think brutal dictators have the consent of the governed? You don't need consent when people are cowed by fear.

    You are missing that governments can rule by force, without the broad people's consent, and that when something is made illegal, doing it anyway can bring on harsh consequences.

    That's still consent. No dictator can rule a populace without participation from informers, etc. Every member of the secret police in Crapalvania is a Crapalvanian mother's son. Just looking the other way is consent. The best quote: And we burned...

    Don't mention it :) I'm happy when I can stick them somewhere and they get read. You can find more here, but I got a bit lazy with tagging them, so it's currently a bit of a mess.

    Or this panel, for that matter :/ But I learned on Slashdot that Germany doesn't extradite; so even if I go to jail, it won't be pound-me-in-the-ass prison. YAY!

  5. Re:it depends on many things by Johann+Lau · · Score: 1 · on Do Headphones Help Or Hurt Productivity?

    Here's the stuff I'm often coding to -- I guess it's a mixture of the last two you listed; "good mood deadline" :D

    I don't know (or care) if it improves my productivity though... when I need to concentrate, I'll turn it off, and when I'm highly fascinated by what I'm doing, I'll forget to turn it on. But sometimes, at least the way I go about it, coding is just a predictable chore rather solving problems or learning stuff, and this music helps me keep even that sexy and relevant. Oh yeah. ^^
