  7. Hair. on 10 Computer Mishaps · · Score: 1

    One day i've noticed that my computer started working slow, then it started rebooting once in a while.
    I checked the CPU heat sensor and it was like 80 degrees (celcius) and the CPU fan is at 0 RPM.
    So i open up the case, try to spin the fan and i can hardly move it.

    Apperantly, since i have long hair, the fan is sucking up air with hair in it and the hair got tangled up in the fan and caused it to stop.

    Having been like 12 back then i had no idea how to open the file, so it took me a while until i found a player for it.

  19. A few ideas on Improving Education? · · Score: 1

    Here are a couple points i came up with, with my experiance of an Israeli high-school.

    - Use assignments and projects instead of tests.
    Tests only indicate how well you will preform on tests.
    if you do a project you will need to do some independat research, get some hands-on experiance.

    - Teach students effective learning techniques.
    Learning may seem like something intuitive, but i'm sure there are many way to improve the way people study.

    - Don't abandon good students.
    Teachers tend to concentrate on helping slow learners while ones who do well are ignored.
    There should be programs to further the education of students that are above the avarage on a certain subject.

    - Learning is not information storage.
    There were a few subjects in highschool where teachers just wanted us to remember facts, like History and Literature.
    If i remembered what my lit. teacher said about a certain poem i would pass the test.
    There was absolutely no learning of the underlying processes.

    - Young students should have a wide assortment of classes so they could later have a more informed oppinion of what they could study.

    - Larger variety of physical activity.
    We had two weekly classes in highschool where we would mostly run, do pushups, pullups, sometimes do a bunch of different jumps and play some soccer.
    Physical education is mostly supposed to keep students in shape and doesn't really teach them about their body.
    I'd include different kinds of martial arts.
    Also, specialization in those areas as in the regular subjects would be nice.

  20. NiN on Secure Data Storage... On Your Fingernails · · Score: 1

    Now you can store your Nine Inch Nails MP3s on your nine inch nails... =o

  21. Semantics on Is Programming Art? · · Score: 1

    If the word "art" had a clear meaning we could just look it up in the dictionary and check for all the properties.
    Because it's rather vague, we have to first define it, and every person would do it according to their own archetypes.
    If your idea of an artist is a guy with a goatee and a pained experssion in his eyes, "art" would have a different scope of information that if you think of an architect.

    I think that it's rather pointless to categorize something if you have to invent a definition for ir.

  22. Zombie on Gates Says No to Implants · · Score: 1
