I'm really quite surprised by the number of people choosing 'less than 50'. Remember, 50 cubic meters is 3.6 x 3.6 x 3.6m. Think how much of this a double bed or table takes up. Remember how much boot/trunk space you needed last time you moved.

I write any notes in a TODO.txt which is always open in notepad++. The great thing is npp has SSH support so whenever I save the file it synchronises it with my webserver, and I have the textfile bookmarked on my smartphone.

This does me, of course, that I can't edit it on the run, but compared with the bloaty shit that is evernote, I much prefer it.

EVERYONE uses elements. Why? Because it's sort of interesting, there's a wide variety to choose from, and each element has an alias allowing quick reference.

For the same reason (and my need to feel special), I use amino acids. My server is called tryptophan (trp), my laptop proline (pro), my desktop arginine (arg) etc.

Some risks we just shouldn't take? What risks? Drilling for oil? Come on, give us a break, if we didn't harvest fossil fuels civilisation would be far less advanced than we are now. I acknowledge BP messed up and oil companies are generally assholes, but don't pretend America would be better off without them.

If I lost my data I'd be furious for a month. However, if I lost the watch my parents gave me for my 21st, or the large framed picture of my friends and I laughing together in our dinner jackets at dawn, I would still look back on it sadly aged 60. Computers can now store memories like possessions used to (pictures, video), but fortunately facebook has most of them stored for me. Facebook will never be able to store the picture of our old family home in its big oak frame.

'Linux is open source and we feel good about it,' said one employee. 'Microsoft we don't feel so good about.'

However, they feel pretty good about a closed-source implementation of an open source operating system on locked-in hardware? This sounds rather flamebaity and very light on facts.

Why would a million voices cry out if nobody cared? Come on, at least use the recycled memes appropriately...
