Minecraft is really shittily coded, just look at the average memory usage of a server, it's usually at least about 500 megabytes, and will go up as more people join, and of course plugins have a big effect.

If you are truly happy being a schizoid (such an awesome name for a disorder xD), that's fine, but being one myself (or so I suspect, I know, internet diagnosis :P), I suggest you don't be too hasty in examining your feelings. Despite being able to spend weeks in near isolation while seemingly happy, I've come to…

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I was under the impression a "Sick Day" was a day one took off when they were sick. If you had to be morbidly ill to take a sick day, they'd call it a "Nearly Dead Day".

You're misinterpreting the animal predicting punishment, as guilt. Although the dogs in this test COULD be feeling guilt, it's a much likelier assumption that they simply are aware that they did something that will anger you, and are acting submissive to evade the punishment.

Earbuds usually suck ass when it comes to quality. If you want anything comparable to what you get with over-ear phones, you have to spend a shitload of cash.

That's not nessesarily true. Anyone decent programmer can throw together a crappy engine within a week, it's making a good engine that takes a while.

... but this is really something else. There's just no justification for this, and it probably won't work anyways. Could end up fucking up your motherboard alongside the card as well, due to power issues :P

I am Sexulous of Borg. Resistance is foreplay.

I'm amazed people are surprised by this. Yes, this generation of the iPhone is obviously more affected than usual, but still, most point-and-shoot cameras (especially phone-integrated ones) have trouble with bad lens flare under certain lighting conditions. It's usually a combination of the type of lens used in…

The best thing about the ATH-M50s is that you can be sure you won't hate them. They favor no aspect of the sound, having pleasant bass (but restrained so as to not overwhelm other parts of the sound), good lows/mids/highs, somewhat open soundstage. They are basically the most balanced headphones out there and will…

You actually want to keep the ambient light about the same as your monitor's, or vice versa (however keeping your monitor as bright as possible is best, since most strobe in order to give the illusion of lower brightness). That way your eyes aren't constantly adjusting and readjusting every time you look away and back…

I hate it when people say the whole bowling ball/feather(or marble, etc), thing. That is only true in a vacuum (with one gravitational force taken into account) and has no relevance to the real world, in which gravity is just one of many forces affecting motion.

The metal from them is perfectly resusable, and is in fact a prime recyclable item. It's entirely one metal (most of the time), with just a little plastic piece on it.

I think it should also be noted that dimming many LCDs actually increases eyestrain, as in order to achieve the dimmed light, Pulse-width modulation (PWM) is used, which results in the backlight strobing at an almost imperceptible frequency. The more you lower the brightness, the lower the frequency of modulation is…

I too use a Yubikey, haven't had a problem yet. I just carry it and a flash drive with Portable Firefox (and Lastpass) installed, on a keychain around my neck.

Wow, most of these features have existed both in 3rd party apps and the Android OS for a while now. Walking directions, archiving email, launching apps via voice commands, etc, woopdeedoo.

I feel the same. However dumb it sounds, I seem to subconsciously think that the blankets offer some protection from the evil monsters xD.

I agree with your opinions on acupressure, but this isn't supposed to be triggering nerve impulses or chi or whatever, it's merely creating mechanical pressure on the sinuses, hopefully forcing the mucous to drain. Like squeezing a packet of sauce :P. How effective this actually would be depends on the consistency of…

I don't think overclocking is really worth it, even at 1GHZ the Pi still isn't really suited for a CPU intensive activities, the chipset and CPU itself simply aren't designed with performance in mind; they're designed to be cost-effective and versatile. That combined with the low RAM makes it unsuited for…
