Bought it on impulse because I love the aesthetics of it (both sound and imagery).

I think this comes down to personal preference. I am on a 24 inch screen with 1080 lines and I still prefer reading text in OS X to Windows on it. On my shabby laptop, not so much.…

I know ben0x539 can speak for himself, but you seem to accuse him of some form of rabid fundamentalism in order to get a half-baked point across. He didn't make any demands, he jus…

The first two points (waking up early, exercising daily) make me happy, too. Compared to not doing those things, the difference is enormous. I would have thrown 'eating clean' in t…

A lot of things "work" with women. But creeps act like they do because they're horny losers, not because they're having so much success with it. Anyway, the whole alpha male debate…

I used to be really into mechanical keyboards, but have since developed a preference for low profile scissor switch keyboards after using them at work. I think the perfect keyboard…

Let it go man. The distinction makes sense for a lot of people and you're just being a stickler and a contrarian at this point.

I don't think the OP meant it that way. To me part of being a grown up includes the ability to act with reason and tact under great distress. I've managed to do this once in my lif…

As someone who has never taken LSD and is curious about the experience I have a question: Have you personally ever taken LSD and actually suffered flashbacks? If yes, how bad were …

There's a variant of this riddle where the solution is using a big brush and painting over the dots in one stroke. I think all of these solutions are interesting and creative.

Indeed. Everyone being brilliant would of course foster diversity, as well as overall cultural capital. I might be wrong, but it seems obvious to me. To me the original quote seems…

This. And flakey drivers. I think this is a big step for Linux on the Desktop. I look forward to the day I can ditch OS X and Windows and replace it with a Unix that has a nice UI,…

I think our tastes are very much alike. I feel what you're saying about the oppressiveness, and I wouldn't want to live in Vienna for the rest of my life either. I just think it's …

I agree with everything you wrote. I recently moved back to Mattersburg because my dad passed away and I took over the house. And I really enjoy living in the open again. But the t…

I'm European and I am certain that this is wrong, unethical, and bad for society as a whole. I'm not surprised that "death from overwork" is an isolated cause of death and has its …

Agree with mobthink and Austro-fascism. I would add lack of enthusiasm and closed-mindedness. Don't know what your problem with the city is, though. Even after having lived in Vien…

In Austria we get 14 Salaries per year. We pay less tax on the 13th and 14th one. I got my 13th just now for July and will get my 14th in December. We have 25 days of paid vacation…

AFAIK there is no way in Windows to control hinting, which in my opinion is the thing that makes Windows' font-rendering unbearable, especially on displays with a high PPI count. T…

I doubt this quote is to be taken literally. I rather think he means that good chess players are very, very good at deciding which moves to think deeper about based on intuition, h…

I don’t think the majority of people here condone piracy. It’s the practice of criminalizing people who don’t acquire stuff legally because they either can’t (e.g. the content not …

Quoting out of context is in there as well.
