Thanks, Obama.

As someone who was up until midnight last night helping deploy code to roughly 300 client organizations I can say without a doubt that being a programmer is not always easy or stress free.

I don't know about this. One of the reasons why I eat ramen is because it is practically instant saving me tons of time in the preparation of a meal. Very little muss or fuss. This sort of defeats that purpose of ramen or at least the ramen that I eat. If I wanted better noodles I would go and buy better noodles.

I am from winter park, Florida, about 40 minutes from celebration...this is a great write up of how we all feel about celebration...it's super creepy and we want nothing to do with it.

And they also take forever to recharge....and need electricity to recharge...which might not be available in remote locations.

What's the range on a 40 or 50 ton tank w/ an electric motor?

These kids know what's cool.

Or, I know this is going to sound odd, but the best classic console emulator I've ever had was a PSP, and you can get a 3000 for rather cheap now. They'll play the following rather well: All 8/16/32 bit consoles, CSP 1 and 2, Neo Geo Arcade Emulator, PS1, and the few PSP Games that are worth playing.

I can't believe the Linksys WRT54G didn't make the top 5. It was my grandfather's router, and my father's router, my router, and some day I hope to pass it on to my children.

It was glorious. Since I worked for a nonprofit plus a second job and both had hot showers, free food ( like seriously, tea, cocoa, coffee, fruit, sandwiches and soup) ) AND there was electricity in my room I was okay. They were not so okay, and after the first today they were all "What's going on?" I said "Hey, you…

I had this issue with roommates who would be very slow in paying utilities, and gave a a lot of "hey, man" attitude when I asked them to pay. After a couple of month of this, into the winter, I realized I had a master key to the switch board. So I simply shut off all the power to the apartment save for my room. No…

Norway is absolutely, 100% dedicated to the notion of prisoner rehabilitation—-their view of crime and punishment is almost the precise polar opposite of, say, Corrections Corporation of America (don't google it if you still believe the US is a free, First World country.)

If you go on a killing rampage you lose your basic human rights imho. At that point you are less than human. The only real exception to the rule would be soldiers in times of war, but even then there are limits.

Who really cares though? People do it all the time.
