How exactly am I "trolling"? You still haven't pointed out how this articles content was not obvious/unneeded.

Those kinds of cues don't directly represent concealment, but are rather just intended to give the speaker time to think about what he's trying to say, or to sync his thoughts with his speech. It can also indicate just plain nervousness, and being distracted (i.e walking through a busy bus terminal) will almost always…

This sounds even harder than the "rub sticks together" trick :P

Do not participate in volunteer labor programs in developing countries, it does much more harm then good. At best, what you do has an equal opposite effect (physics <3), for example, if you volunteer to work for free in Uganda, all you've done is deprived someone there of a job, since there's no way of competing with…

I've never received any "warning" :P And I was merely stating that no one needs to be told how to comfortably hold a device, or any simple object for that matter. You simply try a couple of positions until you find a comfortable one, generally within the first 5 or 10 minutes of using the device.

People often advise against codec packs, and in some cases for good reason. However, the big, well maintained ones like K-Lite generally shouldn't cause a problem, as long as they're configured properly. Some games may be incompatible with certain 3rd party codecs that take precedence over the default windows codecs.

Agree. When you're really sleep-deprived, you tend to feel depressed, extremely stressed by even the smallest jobs, unable to keep a train of thought, and just plain, overall shitty. I have mild ADD (not self-diagnosed mind you :P), so ordinarily I have trouble keeping myself motivated, even on my own projects. If I…

I think you commented in the wrong article :P

Goddamn, Lifehacker needs to have "Correlation does not equal causation" hammered into all of it's writers heads. The fact that some students found inspiration when they are tired does not prove that being tired is the cause. Secondly, even if that was the cause, without a neurological analysis, there's no way to…

That only works if you have a shitty computer that takes time processing Javascript. The script that renders the banner isn't set to have a delay, any delay you perceive is just your browser taking it's time loading the page.

I really don't understand this whole "blackout" thing. I understand the concept of raising awareness about SOPA, but why pull a "blackout"? Why not just have a banner that requires users to read a short blurb on the bill before being sent to the normal website?

Tell me, what is the purpose of the blackout? If you answered "to raise awareness of the controversial SOPA bill", does it not make sense that once a person has read the banner and done some reading up on SOPA, that they should be able to access wikipedia again? What good does forcing people not to use it do? I'm sure…

I already know about SOPA. I don't live in America, so I don't have a "vote" on the matter. Why should I have to keep starring at that banner?

Well what do you think Gamestop is going to say? "Our greatest customers of 17+ rated games fall into the 13 yo demographic"? They're supposed to not be selling Teen/AO games to minors, and even if they don't, there's no way of establishing whether or not parents buy them for them.

Title should be changed to "Lifehacker Episode 5: Captain Obvious Strikes Back"

I see what you did thar xD

Nearly all cases of unexplained "downer" moods(i.e overblowing one's stresses, not finding pleasure in anything)/brain fog that are acute rather than chronic (long-running poor moods are probably depression), are a result of low-blood sugar or poor sleep. Low blood sugar levels literally makes you feel lacking in…

Ratings of games in no way indicates which age-group plays them the most, in fact, few parents today really care about game ratings. If you've ever played any of the newer CoD games, you'll know on nearly all "servers" mostly consist of random 13-16 year olds all with terrible mics too :P

Man, this article really has a hipster vibe:

Most teenagers purchase their phones with plans, so for example, the iPhone 4S when unlocked and free of any contract, costs $650 (it's ridiculously overpriced, as all Apple products are), but with a contract with a major phone service provider is only ~$160. Previous gens are now even cheaper.
