  1. change your hosts file on Ask Slashdot: Software To Help Stay On Task? · · Score: 1

    Just put the web sites that pull you in most in your hosts file. Have them point to a site that reminds you how undisciplined you are being. Swap it out when you want to be undisciplined.

  2. nutshellmath.com on Help Me Get My Math Back? · · Score: 1

    Very cheap online math lessons. I passed the CSETs 20+ years after high school math after a few months with these online classes. They solve many of the problems in several well known books that you can buy and work along with. The teachers were very good.

  3. this technology would cause traffic nightmares on Hybrid Cars No Better than 'Intelligent' Cars · · Score: 1

    If all cars on the freeway drove with this technology on a crowded freeway less cars would fit on the road and traffic would slow. It seems the results would be similar to the results if everyone actually left n car lengths between them and the car in front of them when going x miles/hour. It would be safer, but because of the huge buffers between the cars, significantly less cars would fit on the road. I am no traffic expert, but it seems to make sense, and I don't think anybody mentioned this. Traffic experts, please reply.

  4. Re:The Fileds You Love on Which IT Careers Are Hot and Which are Not? · · Score: 1

    Can you take it one step further and help identify the subset of IT careers that are "hot" for purely remote workers. I'd like to live outside of the US for 98% of the year for a variety of reasons. This means no physical contact with my employer.

    Good breadth does not seem to be what is required for this. I've been a DBA,programmer,sysadmin at many levels, build/release person.
