What is the best/worst misunderstanding of a computer you have ever witnessed? | Long ago, I was talking to my mother about how I wanted to build my computer. We were discussing motherboards at the time when my brother decides to show up and listen. The following discussion happens:

What is the craziest way you've ever quit a job? | I've already written a two-page paper on everything that has made me loathe the job, from management, the hours, the pay, everything. I think I'll just keep it to myself so that I don't lose any references in the future, though. Not mad enough to make a scene this time.

Get Well Soon Package for Boyfriend: Too Much Like Mom or Nice Gesture? | My boyfriend has come down with a cold. I was thinking of assembling him a nice package - chicken soup, Emergen-C packets, tea/ginger ale, and some comic books. I thought this would be a thoughtful gesture, but a male friend said it might make me look too much like "his Mommy." Never considered that perspective. So... |
Ask.Web_Design: When there is a linked image above a text link that goes to the same place, what alt text should be used? | I've read that it shouldn't be the exact same text as the as the linked text since screen readers will duplicate the text (as well as people who disable images). Anyone know a good source on this? |
DAE hate when people use the term "nuff' said"? | I find it to be incredibly smug and I'm always tempted to down vote anyone who uses it. At best it is a lazy attempt at being funny, i.e "Bacon. Nuff' said". At worst it's arrogant and impratical. No, the conversation does not end just because you bastardized the spelling of "enough". |
Theory: LAX timeline is the one that exists in the absence of time traveling. | What if the "LAX" timeline is the timeline that should have happened, absent the time traveling of the Losties to 1977, and the "2007" timeline is the one that flows naturally from their time time-traveling and detonation of the H-bomb? After all, we know that Widmore and Eloise knew about the Losties in the 50s and af... |
Is it OK to make up gossip from nowhere? | It appears that gossip is an evolutionary social glue. According to the article:
>In many instances, the goal of gossip is not truth or accuracy. What matters is the bond that gossiping can forge, often at the expense of a third party.
So my question, then, is this: is it OK to totally make up (to lie, to invent)... |

If you are a healthy (good kidneys, liver, heart, lungs, eyes...) organ donor and you get in a wreck-to what extent do you turn into a huge pile of money if they can't save you in the ER? | I know nothing about how this works-my understanding is that nobody charges for the organs but you can't charge for the labor without the parts, obviously. This would be in a US hospital. Maybe throw in that you're uninsured. |
IAE tired of someone referencing Bozarking every time someone makes an over-the-top/sexual post? | We get it, Bozarking made a few funnies once, you don't need to talk about him every time you see the word penis or sister. |
3.3.2 patch notes, can anyone explain this? | The patch notes indicate that all healing abilities in BG's and arenas will be nerfed. This is bad news for healers. Surely this will make them even more redundant in 2v2, as opposed to a DPS-DPS team? I can't see Blizzards logic here, i though they were trying to make PvP more fun and have less burst damage. The balan... |
20 Things: Life Advice by Reddit | So I was reading the 20 things at age 20 and realized there was a lot of good advice in it.
I think that initial project could be taken to the next level if we could create a reddit E-book around it. Basically, the list from the original AskReddit would be the skeleton of the book, and it would contain vignettes fr... |

Trees, I'm a [0], but I was a [7] yesterday when I had this thought. | Backflips.
People who can do standing backflips will, nearly always, at some point, become physically incapable to do a backflip. This means that every time you see someone doing a backflip and feel bad because you can't, that person will someday fall on his neck because he can no longer do it. |

Sometimes, a video game comes along that has this certain aspect that causes me to be unable to put it down. | Bear with me here, this is going to be a bit odd to explain. Sometimes a game comes along that sucks me in so much, that I can't help but play it, and *only* it, until I complete the game (or at least get as far as I can). I can only think to describe that feature as "gradual introduction of features/rewards".

I was required to attend church services all the time, rain or shine. Which was fine. I genuinely enjoyed it. I got a good laugh from reading some of the crazy stories in the Bible, enjoyed the generally upbeat music, and even spoke in tong... |
What's the one thing about modern society that makes your worry about our future as a species? | I'll go first. For me it's a relapse into a dark ages type scenario. Maybe the establishment of a theocracy. I think it would take a major disaster to do this though, as I believe access to data and free opinion are beyond a 'tipping point' with modern technology. |
My ex's boyfriend is a complete asshole to me | Short version: My ex tried to hook up with me while she's in a relationship. I didn't because her bf and I had become friends but once he found out, instead of breaking up with her for willing to cheat on him, he starts becoming the loving bf to her and a complete asshole to me. It makes me very angry.
Long version: M... |
DAE pride themselves in the fact that they don't own a single Apple product? | I have a sony walkman, google nexus one, harman kardon receiver, sharp monitor, home built pc, 360, ds, psp, ps3, asus eeepc, and a wii. So I have a lot of electronics from different companies, but I'm not fanboy of one, and I ended up avoiding Apple products because they are usually inferior to competition |
My warez-bb and rapidshare account were both compromised and blocked today. Whats the best plan of action so this doesn't happen again? | I use a lot of sites that require logins everyday, but for some reason warez-bb and rapidshare were chosen. Does anyone know of any program that specifically chooses these?
I have Microsoft Security Essentials doing a full scan ATM and plan to install others if it doesn't find anything. Can you recommend anything that... |
Does anyone have any design philosophies that
make AS3 programming easier? | One thing that I learned is to always break functions down into multiple smaller functions. I learned my lesson with AS2 with my first full designed game. I had some functions that were over a thousands lines of code, and were such a pain to debug, and one change could have a lot of unintentional side effects.

Interested in joining <reddit>; apprehensive about playing on a PvP server | I think the title says it all. I've played exclusively on PvE servers since I started playing (this summer) and I've heard horror stories of griefing on PvP servers. I'm not interested in being ganked by 80s while I would rather be farming mats, so I'm wondering how endemic this sort of behaviour is on Sargeras?
Edit:... |
Reddit, what are your thoughts on the Montessori Method? | My daughter is 19 months old and I am getting ready to enroll her in a local charter school that is rated pretty high in the nation. There is a large waiting list, so I want to get her on the list.
Anyway, they use the Montessori Method in their elementary age groups. From what I gather, they have small class sizes ... |
Any luck with custom projects on Etsy? | Has anyone had experiences using "Alchemy" on Etsy? I want to have a custom wedding dress made, any suggestions? |
Dear /r/Art, I am and Art History student and looking for online resources. What are some of your favorites? | I guess it doesn't really have to be online resources, but just resources in general. I am away from my school library so that's out of the question and I plan on checking out the local library today. My main emphasis is renaissance and baroque. All suggestions are welcome! |
Java: Private isn't Private | Here's some code:
class superclass{
public superclass(int x){
privvar = x;
}
public boolean equals(Object x){
superclass other=(superclass)x;
return(other.privvar == privvar);
}
private int privvar;
