...by avoiding non-porn sites altogether!

Also related, the only thing keeping me from switching to Chrome is the inability for plugins to arrange tree-style tabs in a vertical manner. I can't go back to browsing with top-horizontal tabs, even on a non-widescreen monitor.

this is /. we need a device that would increase our chances of sex in private places.

Actually, that's being called into question now. Toyota owners with "fixed" pedals are starting to report that the problem still persists. Failure analysis experts are starting to support the notion that electronics are at the root of the problem

There couldn't be any more relevant if Earth someday no longer becomes viable, which isn't an unreasonable scenario.

I'm jealous that you were even able to tilt the camera. I unfortunately decided to play the console version which had 1 horrible over the shoulder camera angle. Needless to say, it wasn't remotely the same game and I sent it back pretty quickly.

I too work in a similar environment where the programmers are next to non-technical people, and in my experience background chatter is much, much more distracting than your favorite music playing on your headphones. I'm the type of person that needs absolute silence to work, so naturally I've tried every possible way to drown out people's voices, including playing music. Having music playing was not the ideal situation for myself, but it was certainly less distracting than the constant conversation mixed in with obnoxious laughter. I ended up buying a pair of gun range earmuffs and now wear them regularly in the office.

As a current Notes user, now I know who to blame =)

Agreed. It's important to remember that Google is still a fairly young company, about 11 years old. As time goes on and the company expands, it will continue to look and act more and more like the more traditional, established large corporations out there. The attitude of idealism and experimentation will increasingly have to compete with the concrete necessity of keeping stock holders happy and dealing with the growing number of legal issues that naturally come with expansion.

Working out is indeed extremely important, but what a lot of people don't realize is that your weight is determined by 75% diet and 25% exercise. 8 years ago i was 5'9" and was extremely skinny at 125lbs. I've maintained a weight at around 170-175 for the last several years mostly due to changes in my eating habits. As a fulltime software engineer who only works out 2x a week now, I maintain my weight mostly through several key points that other people may have already mentioned: 1. Cut out all refined carbs/sugars. Stick to whole wheat grains and brown rice. 2. Minimize, but don't eliminate, fat intake. Obviously this means staying away from fried foods, but you can get healthy fats from sources like fish, nuts, olive oil, and vinaigrette salad dressing. 3. Make sure you eat a good amount of protein (the exact amount will differ according to how much activity you can actually do), but protein builds muscle and will help you to feel full longer. 4. Don't let more than 3 hours pass without eating something. This usually means you'll eat 5-6 meals in a day. 5. ALWAYS have a substantial breakfast. This will jump start your metabolism for the day and actually reduce the likelihood you'll overeat later in the day. Of course, if you can find time to exercise when you can, you'll have the best results. Otherwise, following these guidelines should make a pretty big impact by itself.

Sounds good until the pirates start showing up with even bigger weapons. Remember that they aren't an underfunded bunch and escalation will happen fairly quickly.

"Go to College" is a legitimate answer for anyone who wants to earn themselves a better life. Why would you hold yourself back from doing so just because someone has to do the menial job? Sure, somebody has to do it, but it doesn't have to be you.

The system will always be unfair in some areas, so why not spend the time to educate yourself on how to achieve a better life with the system you've got?
