You know what else is good for you? There are tons of studies that shows if you kiss my ass, it's good for you. Also stopping being a douche is good for you.
Here is an evidence: after college days, I never stopped binge drinking(only accelerated the ammount and frequency), eating fat and meat, no vegetables and I never work out. Now it's 20 years later, my health is perfect, I have perfectly balanced weight and my income has doubled every 3 years. I am serious. Apparently this kind of lifestyle is good for you!
I'm totally with you, esp. on the last point. My wife and I had a kid a year ago, and sleep hasn't been the same since. Over the same period of time, I've learned for the first time in my life what it means to have to be humble about my memory. Used to be near photographic. Now it's all a jumble. Shows you what 13 months of 5 hours a night of sleep (with the occasional additional nap to almost catch up) will do to you.
Sounds like the perfect birth control pill ad!
1. Take pill
2....
3. Memory works better
4. Profit!
You know something, I always used to do that thing. For more than 15 years of OS re-installs. I start by disabling al those bling-bling GUI settings to the blood. But this time I decided to keep Aero on.
Fuck it man, it really looks good. And it's still fast. Very fast, even on crappy video cards. I mean c'mon, its just a semi-transparency effect, most video cards could pull that 10 years ago.
The only thing that grinds my gears is that stupid popup suggesting to disable Aero every time a game decides to use a decent amount of memory/CPU. And it does it "cleverly" a few seconds/minutes after the game started, completely fucking things over for games not designed to support alt-tab (most of good titles these days).
Oh damn it, now I've found more reasons to disable Aero. No! Never! You'll take semi-transparency out of my dead claws!
It's called triage.
You choose what to add, what to remove, what to refactor, what to fix, constantly. A lot of features don’t necessarily mean it has to be bloated.
Perhaps the performance/stress testing team is not having a big enough voice at Firefox, if they even have such team.
Firefox is bloated. Starts extremely slowly, and the latest versions are crashing like mad. I'm also sick of the single-thread approach they have, one tab is slowing all tabs down.
I permanently switched to Chrome a few weeks ago, I couldn't take it anymore.
Don't update to 3.2, that update disabled tethering permanently.
I have an official iPhone 3GS, without jailbreak, and I use tethering. All I did was to download a custom internet setting file, completely legal.
I really want to pay to see legal movies online. But I will not watch it in the quality used 10 years ago.
I've spent last weekend researching legal ways of watching/downloading HD movies online. I mean I really spent 3 days searching Google and reading forums, from the morning to evening. There are tons of good choices for DVD-like resolution/quality, but pretty much none for HD. And I mean real full-HD, 1080p, encoded at 20+ Mbps. A counter-example is the Xbox live marketplace where they have 4 Mbps "1080p HD". Just. Disgusting.
If you go to the illegal channels you can find thousands of full Blu-ray images to download, available just hours after the release.
Where is the real choice? I really hope the movie companies wake the fuck up and start providing legal choices.
Obligatory Office Space quote: Peter Gibbons: Our high school guidance counselor used to ask us what you'd do if you had a million dollars and you didn't have to work. And invariably what you'd say was supposed to be your career. So, if you wanted to fix old cars then you're supposed to be an auto mechanic.
Samir: So what did you say?
Peter Gibbons: I never had an answer. I guess that's why I'm working at Initech.
Michael Bolton: No, you're working at Initech because that question is bullshit to begin with. If everyone listened to her, there'd be no janitors, because no one would clean shit up if they had a million dollars.
The morale of the story is: there is no such world in which everyone does only what they like. Somebody has to handle the shitty tasks. And I'll tell you a little secret: most tasks are shitty. Now get down from those clouds and get back to work:)
Bull.Shit.
I avoid any social networking websites like the plague, but I don't have any problems finding someone if I feel like having a beer or going out. I go to parties and I organize parties, without any stupid website providing the "friends".
These social websites are providing "virtual friends", not real life friends. Tip: stand up and look around you, at your workplace, where you shop, at your places of entertainment, where you live, everywhere, there are people that have something in common with you. Those are real friends candidates, not a fat fuck saying "add me" on a stupid webpage.
The surface area of the Earth is finite. Our appetite for energy is not.
Don't take infinity so lightly. Our current appetite for energy is definitely finite. If you intended to say that from an infinite timeframe point of view, many things are infinite, and while humanity's appetite for energy in an infinite timeframe is possible to be infinite, it’s improbable, as it's over optimistic to assume we are going to exist forever.
I'd like to share a revelation that I've had during my time here. It came to me when I tried to classify your species. I realized that you're not actually mammals. Every mammal on this planet instinctively develops a natural equilibrium with the surrounding environment, but you humans do not. You move to an area, and you multiply, and multiply, until every natural resource is consumed. The only way you can survive is to spread to another area. There is another organism on this planet that follows the same pattern. A virus. Human beings are a disease, a cancer of this planet, you are a plague, and we are the cure.
Don't you dare to compare PDF with ASCII! ASCII is a character-encoding scheme, PDF is a file format. Apples and oranges.

PDF is the main exploiting door currently used to grow botnets. PDF is a no longer a document format, it became a plague.
Do you like how the Adobe Updater relentlessly creates a shortcut to Adobe Viewer after each update? Who in their right mind is ever actually opening an empty viewer?

I place a handkerchief in my pocket before I put my keys in, the handkerchief then protects the pocket from the sharp keys and pocket knife, and also provides padding that will at least muffle the noise of jingling keys in your pocket.
Not to mention the invaluable benefit of always having something in case of nose emergency.

...It was a desperate time. With crusades, inquisitions, but most of all, power-greedy dicks controlling people.
Power-greedy dicks will always be controlling people. They are just getting better at lying about it. Leading is not rewarding, it's a shity job. People are doing it for money and power.
I saw a lot of people doing this mistake.
Stop scaling DPI or good forbid use a non-native resolution and bring your monitors closer to your eyes. Just because its bigger than your previous monitor it does not mean you have to watch it from 2 metters away.
I used the same view distance(0.4 m / 1.3 feet) for 14,15,17,19,20,21 inch monitors and now for my 30 inch beauty. No problems.
I see people making the same mistake with HDTVs too, they get a 40inch TV, watch it from 8 meters away and they complain they don't see any difference between 480p and 1080p.

circletimessquare, just stop it with the small caps. It's not a nice "cool" style, it's just plain annoying.
As a results of your latest business activity, we have endured over $1B losses.
We hereby present you with the attached invoice.
Thanks for your understanding and we look forward to collaborating in the future.
Kind regards,

In the end, there is only one relevant metric: ROI, and all other metrics need to be converted to that before any business decision is made.
