It's not "good for you". Every ability you have makes you more popular/gets you a better job/whatever. People aren't created equal, and I bet you wouldn't want to hang out with someone who was annoying but "happy with themselves".
Stop spreading lies:P. All the women I know can't watch TV and talk at the same time. Another example, say you and a friend of yours are walking down the street. You look in front of you and there are people coming your way and you turn to talk to your friend. You know people are coming, and will look forward after a while to avoid running into them. Women don't do that. I've bumped into women many times because I assumed they'd look early enough to avoid me. I'm not trolling or anything, that's my experience with women (and some of my male friends as well).
Sure I can pick up cues. I can pick up all cues. When I say "What's wrong?" and she says "Nothing" I know something's wrong. The difference is that I'm not 12, and if there was something bothering me I'd tell her instead of having her play 20 questions.
My hotmail account still has 2 MB of storage space and I guess even less for attachments. I think they only offered more space to people from the U.S. I don't use hotmail anyway, if I wanted to see what X teen celebrity did yesterday and advice for my sex life from MSN I'd read the tabloids.
Oh... Well, the symptoms of the lack of sleep are just that, symptoms. Just like how an inflammed appendix hurts, if you take painkillers and it stops the pain, that doesn't mean it's ok. You're going to die and not realise it. Sleep deprivation is harmful, regardless of if you can fight the symptoms or not. I'd imagine that someone would go on living a perfectly normal life without sleep taking these pills and then one day just die (pure speculation).
I don't like this. Sleep deprivation effects are there for a reason, to signal that you need to sleep. I can understand if people who can't sleep and need to be alert need to use this (e.g. soldiers in combat), but it's not going to be very good for the average person who needs to do some more work. People need to sleep for various reasons (rest, various chemicals get regenerated, etc). It's not a whim of nature.
Actually, even though you and I are tired of all the DRM crap, I don't think the average person gives a damn. If it plays on his DVD and his (admittedly, the one he has now, no upgrading) TV, he will continue to rent/buy DVDs and watch them, because all the DRM is transparent to him.
As you said, the secret in cryptography is the key, no the algorithm. However, in DRM, the user has both the encrypted data AND the key, so DRM can only get so good...
I don't care if it's Open Source DRM with sugar on top, I don't like it and I refuse to use products that restrict the use of something I paid for. I'm doing fine just listening to my old CDs all day.
I find no use for this tool. I would like to try it because it looks nice, but I tried v.1 and I had nothing to search for. Really, if you keep stuff well organised in a few folders I don't think you'll ever need to search for anything.
My thoughts exactly. After a point it gets ridiculous, I can understand it on performance-related articles but in an article that says "Scientists cured cancer, announced on a page on a Linux webserver", well, that's just silly.
Probably... Personally I love Python, and one of the things I love is that it's still being developed. You can actually suggest something and see it implemented in the language. You can probably do that in many more, but all the others I know have been standardised. Plus it has all the other great stuff which makes it my first choice for anything.
God, it's one of those magazine quizzes that are entitled "Are you a homosexual? Find out" and the questions range from "Do you like women?" to "Do you like men?". I hate obvious quizzes. Is he a con artist or master manipulator?
Who would have guessed!
Slashdot Mirror
Nono, I was going for funny.
Obviously the traffic is due to Numa Numa, the starwars kid and All Your Base. Doesn't he know anything?!
Haha, probably. But then the mods were also redundant by modding it as redundant twice :p
These programs aren't uncovering PIN numbers any more than telephones perform social engineering attacks. They're just tools.

Women also excel at spreading their attention.

"vive", as in "five".

Indeed, all they said was "it's a rumour". Well, it WAS a rumour, and a true one, at that.

Simple experiment: Remove your appendix and see what happens. Then, stop sleeping and see what happens.
Gah, fed the troll. Didn't realize until it was too late.
Our body reacts like that because it mistakenly believes that pollen is trying to hurt it. We don't take allergy medication for actual diseases.

Google appears to be listening.
Well, Google IS what those blogs are targeting...
"password"?
So what did it do? I don't know where it's from, but now I'm curious :p
