Unless you're a single parent, just have sex. Good way to create a new offsprint, no? :-)

I don't know about asia, but european languages are related in so many ways, so learning one can help you understand things written in another.

For example: Norwegian, Swedish and Danish are so simular that they usually can understand eachother. Icelandic is not that far away. Dutch to me sounds like a mix between German and English. People from Finland usually learn Swedish in school.

Now, I don't speak either of these languages myself, but from what others have told me French, Italian and Spanish are related so much that you can get by in a pinch knowing one of those in one of the other countries.

Switzerland has German and French as languages. Belgium has Dutch, German and French.

It really is fascinating how some of the languages are related.

To waste some time, have a look at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indo-European_languages

I have learned English and some German, but if I would learn another language it would be Spanish.

Just out of curiosity (and a slight bit of pedantry :-)), are they languages or dialects?

How similar are the languages?

..imperial units in the US

And what about the germans and their QWERTZ?
(That was a problem for me while visiting a german friend, as my password at the time had an Y in it)

3D in a movie should be like the subwoofer/bass in a surround system. It should be tuned so that you don't notice it is there, but you should notice if it is missing.

3D where they have things flying towards you out of the screen is like turning the bass waaaaay up. Tacky and very distracting.

As the previous poster said: good 3D will make the visuals look better. As will a subwoofer do for sound.

Seriously.

Does dumb switches count? Because I have a few netgear gigabit switches as well.. and ip cameras.. and.. and..

HTC Desire Z, or whatever they call it in $YOUR_AREA

I have it and use it for IRC, mail, ssh ++.

I never learned touch correctly, but I do type pretty fast without looking by using a weird combination of fingers. I rest my hands in a sort of home-position, but then I use fewer fingers to type. It's what have worked best for me. To describe how I use my fingers would be very weird, but one could say for most of my typing I use 3 fingers on each hand, in addition to right thumb for space and right pinky for enter/return.

When I write code I usually spend more time thinking than typing, so speed haven't really been an issue. I score 60+ WPM and allthough that is a far cry from the 120WPM mentioned in the article it really is fast enough for me.

That's really interesting.

Does this mean PSN stored passwords in cleartext?

If the password was hashed I'm not that concerned. You won't find my password in a rainbow-table.

But if it was unhashed, a looooot of people should change their passwords.

This XKCD comes to mind

According to a hotel manager I know expedia wanted 1/3 commision on hotel rooms.

Sure, he appreciated the extra business, but at the same time it was a major cut in their profit margin.

And expedia (and other hotel booking services) now wield so much power that it's hard for hotels to say now. More so for hotels that are not part of a chain that can afford to say no.

I love seeing when a pop/dance-artist actually does an acoustic set.

Ever heard of milk inc from Belgium?
