Retinas the other way around (in front of the blood vessels) would soon be damage by UV light. Sea creatures such as octupii (octopusses?) don't have to worry about UV, hence the "better" arrangement.

Lagging years behind the world as usual :) Up to last year the fastest i could concieve was 100kb/s. Now its getting slightly better but it will still be some time before we come near the speed that most of America considers slow. To be fair its usually closer to 300 ms, sometimes even faster to google or the like, sometimes slower or time-out.

Changing the "typical" user :) Seriously though an OS like linux and a much better resolution would be nice to see.

Because my school decided to make up its own system that works out of six and grades you according to effort for both academics and sport. Why do things the same as everyone else? Gotta love Zimbabwe... :D

Every year my band gets about five different gigs for new years eve parties, and when the drinks flow the tips flow too :) All in all its not a bad way to welcome in a new year and earn some extra cash.

It seems to be the trend to give Unity flack, but it was my first non-windows experience, so i approached it without any experience of desktop environments that didn't suck. Since then i have used KDE, Gnome (and variants like cinnamon) and XFCE, and to be honest out of all of them them i'd pick Unity. Just because it goes against what some people believe to be the 'One and only way of doing things' doesn't automatically make it bad. Linux is all about choice and if you don't like it, sudo apt-get install plasma-desktop or switch to a different distro

To ensure you have a secure computing environment: 1) Don't buy a computer and 2) Don't turn it on -the first line of pretty much every book on information security...

At least, i can throw 5+ things up in the air no problem. Keeping them there is the hardest part... Seriously though, i love juggling and it has to be good for things like spatial reasoning (i had a maths teacher who taught the class to juggle to improve our marks).

I'm 17, there are pictures of guns in my notebooks, and i have a bunch of explosive chemicals at my house. I AM NOT A PSYCHOPATH! Game maker: yes (guns = concept art), like playing with rockets/gunpowder: yes, but not a killer. All i can say is thank goodness i live far away from America...

1) Read poll - there's an xkcd thats perfect for this! 2) Search for comic, no results - well maybe it wasn't actually that great... 3) Read through 1000 titles and still can't find it - that comic wasn't at all relevant, screw it
