  1. Re:exchange rate on Study Warns of Internet Brownouts By 2010 · · Score: 1

    It's roughly 93.7 billion Euros.

  2. my POV on What Are the Advantages/Disadvantages of Game Schools? · · Score: 1

    Advantage: You get to meet people working in the industry and other people passionate about making games.
    Disadvantage: Most of the people in your class will be gamers who just want to play games and don't want to do any actual work.

    I went to a game programming school and all the students who took their studies seriously now all have jobs related to games. Not all became programmers, some became level designers, and I work in QA. But the ones who actually tried did get good jobs :)

  3. Time travel on Glitch Has Users Fuming, Google 'Frantic' · · Score: 1

    I wasn't fuming at all when this glitch happened. I hadn't had my morning coffee when I opened up my Internet browser and read that "Longhorn beta released". My reaction was "OMG! I've travelled back in time!!!". Then I had my coffee and the world was normal again.

  4. Re:One explanation on Deja Vu Recreated in a Lab Setting · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Alot of the times that I've gotten deja vus I don't only get the feeling "this has happened before" but also "I think I've thought about this happening before". That second feeling always spooks me out more than the first besause you really feel like sometime in the past you've been able to see into the future.
    Is it plausible that hippocampus continues to "mis-fire" for long enough for one to "remember" remembering what just happened? If that's what's going on in my head deja vus will feel far less spooky after learning this... which would be nice :)

  5. The smallest gold-diggers in the world on Gold Mining Bacteria · · Score: 1

    Surely the smallest gold-digger in the world must be Lil' Kim?
