This. I have a few categories like animals, landscapes and the like where the date I have taken the pictures doesn't matter so much but most of my pictures are in [path]/happenings/[date][description]. All file names in that directory also start with the date and a description, followed by a number to keep them in a logical order.
It's funny that all the nerds here who can only write in horrible print want to ditch cursive writing so fast. Cursive is important not only because it looks prettier and is easier to read (have you ever read a EULA? I thought so. One of the reasons most EULAs are in capitals only is that that makes them very hard to read), but writing is a way to learn very fine motoric skills that you can only get by practicing and are hard to learn when your brain is fully formed. And those very fine motoric skills come in handy in all kinds of situations, like drawing, needlework, fumbling with modern electronics, repairing old watches or other small mechanical things, etc etc. so learning to write cursive is a means to many ends, only one of which is good writing.
The problem is that the people who find this and of course other research like to boast about things that the layman public understands. And they want dinosaurs, the bigger the better.
I agree. Hollywood has learned us that violence solves every problem. Even children's cartoons are full of angry characters and violence these days. I wouldn't let my kids watch Cars II, for instance, and there are more 'children's cartoons' like that. I can't believe all the violence kids see during their lives doesn't have any influence on them, especially if they watch it without their parents around to help them make sense of what they see.
Yet research shows that people drive nearly equally bad while calling handsfree as while calling handheld. Just like in a computer, multitasking means being slower performing both skills. And because the environment changes while you talk or listen to someone while driving, you will miss more and thus be surprised by unexpected things more.
I understamd that, but this research does not prove that you can talk on the phone whilst driving and do both things just as good as when doing them separately. That was what I thought of when I typed my post. I should have been clearer.
If you read the article you will find that the conclusions are presented with so much 'hand waving' that basically the real conclusion of the article is: we don't know wether there is a correlation between violent games and movies and real violence.

Yes I still remember those days. People were often hungry because their breakfast floated away. Hard times...
Please add 'in the US' to the title. Here in Europe investments in clean energy increase yearly in some countries.
Is that such a strange thing, that people who don't have a clue about how computers work don't know this?
Or they are very careful about what they post.
Indeed. I never understood why many nerds, who are usually very sensitive about privacy, ran to Google's browser in droves.
Just lay it on the bench, dress, take it with you inside and keep an eye on it. Cheap and handy.

You surely have chosen the right nickname!

I feel your pain. My iPhone 4 is worth nothing to BB.
Fund, not find. Sorry.

"We don't know" means: "We're not supporting any hypothesis."

That's all interesting but how many things can a brain do at the same time CONSCIOUSLY? Many studies point to the same number: 1 (one).
You forgot cartoons and television. And I guess in the early 1500s reading was considered evil as well.

I was indeed wondering about what's so special about universal healthcare.
How can you forget the ultimate example of Linux on the desktop?
Homosexuality is not exclusive to humans. It's found in many many animals too. So I don't think it will evolve away. It's just part of nature.
You mean Your Gayness.
I know I'm not gay so I must be female.
Explain to me what Cook's being gay has to do with Apple's 'ecosystem.'
