Fellow Redditors, what are your opinions on the arrival of aging process reversal? | There are the Kurzweils of the world that think it's under 20 years away, and then those that think we'll never have it. I think both are wrong but do hold out hope it might be just 4 or 5 decades away. What do you all think? |
Wireless router setup problems - For your daily dose of uncomprehending rage | Linksys WRTP54G Router, WEP encryption. Router itself is a hand-me-down from a relative, works perfectly well. Currently wireless works for the laptop, one computer is hard-wired.

I'm in the market for a fairly nice watch. Any reddit watch aficionados? | All this talk about watches ( has made me realize that I have still yet to find a great watch for myself. I am looking for a watch that has a leather strap and a simple face, preferably a dark coloured face. My price range is something like $100-200 but am willing to go up higher if the quality merits it. I am but a... |
Which actor should play Steve McGarrett in the Hawaii Five-O re-boot? | Me and some friends were trying to speculate who they might cast as Steve McGarrett in the new Hawaii Five-O remake CBS is planning. He has to be tough like Kiefer Sutherland, smart like David Caruso and most of all, tanned... like George Hamiliton. We couldn't really think of anyone so let me ask the reddit nation: wh... |
Photography advice: Album cover | I have this idea for an album cover, and the basic idea can be seen here:
Now the problem I'm having is that the background is dark and grey, and I'd like to have it look a lot brighter, sort of like it was in all-white commercial limbo land. My photographer swears that putting in more lights would just make the marb... |
my mixtape, created up by allisahn | Finally got around to putting up the track list and pics from my mixtape (we both agreed to make tapes instead). I have the pics in an imgur gallery here
Definitely enjoyed the whole mix. Starts off mixed (and with little pocketknife who I now really love) and moves into a really heavy metal-esque ending. Side 2 has e... |

Ask /r/linux: Does anyone know a good simple image editor for "marking up" images? | So I've been looking for awhile for a good but simple program to mark up images and screenshots. What I need is something where I can open an image, draw a circle around something and add a line and some text for a callout. (You know, sometimes you just want to make a quick and dirty "WTF" pic!) GIMP is powerful, but t... |
Dear Reddit Gaming. Why does Oblivion seem to get all of the praise when Morrowind was the far superior game? | Oblivion improved upon the battle system substantially, but Morrowind had a much, much better world to explore. In a game so focused on exploration, I can't see how Oblivion gets all the glory. |
Well, I'd like to know what Reddit thinks about "The Crazies", but... | ...every time I type "The Crazies" into Reddit's search engine, it shows every link with the word crazy in it. But I didn't search for the word "crazy"! Anyway, what do you all think about this remake of the 1973 classic? |
Grab some ale, pull up a limestone throne, and tell your best tales of dwarfy greatness, weirdness, or hilarity. | I've only been playing about a week or two, and thus far have only had one death (a recruit got his neck crushed by a champion while sparring). The funniest thing that's happened in my fortress up to this point was the Kobold thief who managed to steal some stuff and make a clean getaway, only to be mauled by wolves a... |
Dear Reddit: Obama + Democrats have numerous flaws, and some Republicans actually have redeeming qualities and even, gasp, the occasional good idea. | No, I'm not one of those "both sides are equally bad" idiots. The Republican party is miles and miles worse than the Democrats, who are pretty crappy by objective standards.
I just want to see how many downvotes I get from the fucking cancer of sycophantic single-minded, simplistic, self-righteous progressive nitwit f... |

IAmA Security Officer at a major Nuclear Power Plant. AMAA. | NOTE: As you may have guessed, this is a throwaway account.

Hypothetical Question: If the earth didn't have a molten core, but it rather had a hollow area in the center, would the area in the hollow center be a weightless environment? | It's probably a simple question for a lot of you. I think it would be a weightless environment.... but if it is... is it because the gravity of the mass of the planet is pulling away from the center in every direction equally and cancels out? Is it a meaningless question? |
So what ages are we talking here? | I'm curious to know what kind of age range we're dealing with.
On this note: I bet I'm the youngest at 21. |

What's up with GTA4 reviews vs. perception? | I just got a PS3 a couple of weeks ago. Starting in on the back catalog now (played through Uncharted 1 and 2 so far). I have a question about GTA4.

AskGaming: Fresh ideas for failing internet/game cafe in Canada? Willing to consider human sacrifice at this point... | Hi reddit,
I work with a struggling (yet ruggedly handsome after a few beers) internet/gaming cafe here in tropical northern Canada. With the onset of winter and Mass Effect 2 keeping kids in their parent's basement, this place has been, well, damn lonely. No meat in the seats make for angry utility providers and no ... |
As a fiscal conservative, I regret voting for Palin in 2006. | It upsets me greatly that my fellow conservatives are still swooning over Sarah Palin. Anyone who spends a few hours researching her record as the governor of Alaska will know she is a populist and not a conservative.
Her two babies, ACES and AGIA, are in the process of reeking havoc in our state by deterring capital ... |
What are your opinions on Wi-Fi (regarding access) | I always hate to start out a self reddit with "my mother," but... My mother says to my sister and I, "Someone has to pay for that wi-fi! you should ask before using it!" This archaic way of thinking does not bode well for my sibling, "What the hell are you talking about?" She asks, "I'm talking about the fact that some... |
Dear Reddit, I am sick of Sarah Palin articles. Yes she's a dumbass, but until she runs for office, the best course of action may be to ignore her. | Dear Reddit, I am sick of Sarah Palin articles. Yes she's a dumbass, but until she runs for office, the best course of action may be to ignore her. I also fear that if we keep putting her on here, Reddit may be overtaken by groupthink. I would hate for that to happen, much like it happened to "you know who."*cough*Dig... |
How do I (a cross-dresser) learn to do makeup? | Does anyone know of somewhere that I can go to learn how to do makeup? I have tried a couple of times and look like an idiot. I know I can't get as feminine as I want, but I think I can be better than I've made it so far.
Are there any CD friendly places, or can I get lessons from someone? |
I've recently began my spinning workout and I am a little sore. | In high school I used to bike 20-30 miles a day after school. It's been a while and I have put on a few extra pounds. So I got out the old bike and a stand and got to the workout.
Boy is my butt sore from the seat, how long am I going to deal with this? And is there any other tips I should have to get a good workout... |
DAE think that grads in a field (mostly medical) of any fashion typically over stress their field's importance? | Apologies for the somewhat broad title, but I always seem to notice that graduates of most medical fields always assume that all day you spend your time managing yourself.

* Dermatologists pressure you to cov... |

Low Dietary Fiber intake linked to obesity, crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, irritable bowel syndrome and more | It seems like it would be common knowledge that not eating enough fiber would cause ill effects on our bodies, but there are increasingly common illnesses and diseases that are being linked to not enough dietary fiber intake.
Reading The Paleo Diet by Loren Cordain, there was an interested section that I thought shou... |
Where can I find some cheap, preferably used, Doc Martens? | I wear a size 11-12 and I am looking for a pair somewhat like this. If anyone can help me out, or if you have something you are willing to sell me, I would appreciate the help. |
A positive change you made in your life that you haven't ever reneged on? | For at least five years. Gave up TV? Lost weight? Running? Always paying bills on time? What changes have you stuck to? |
Do I actually need the stuff in my Temp folder? | I've been trying to clear some crap off my hard drive. I looked through my Temp folder and deleted everything I knew I didn't need (word documents, movie clips, etc), but there's a lot of stuff that I'm not really sure about (TMP files, CVR files, and a whole lot more).
The fact that the folder is called Temp makes... |

Anybody saw "Undercover Boss?" It was pretty impressive to see the type of work people do at "Waste Management" from the eyes of a CEO. | It was heart wrenching to see how difficult working conditions are for people who work at down the ladder, and how does the policies at upper level affect the workers at lower end.

Hi Apple Reddit. When I added a partition for XP, I (stupidly) gave it the standard 32 GB size but am really close to filling it. I'm getting ready to back up/wipe my Windows partition so I can make a new one with more space... Any protips or ideas of what I'll need? | I have a 1TB hard drive, but it's formatted to work with my mac so Windows doesn't recognize it. I'm running Snow Leopard on a MBP if it's relevant.
I've been told that you have to erase and re-make a partition if you want to increase the size, so I'm kind of nervous about losing my Windows data. I'm assuming that I... |

I know that those reviewing my application will read the letters but are they really going to call or email the people recommending me to confirm? I'm guessing not, unless th... |
District 9: Oscar nomination for Best "Adapted" Screenplay? | I find it a little peculiar that Neil Blomkamp's own 'Alive in Joburg' is considered such a separate entity that it is nominated for *adapted* screenplay. It's not like he took someone else's idea and made it his own.
I don't remember this ever happening before. |
Dear Reddit: I am attending a drinking/Risk night this weekend and am looking for quality laughs. Share your shenanigans and pranks please ;) | The host and myself are both redditors, and are looking for suggestions or experiences related to fucking with those that are moderately to heavily inebriated.
They probably don't have to be too intricate, as we will both be intoxicated as well.
Also, because I love story time. |

A few questions about time. | When I look at the sun, I look 8 minutes into the past. Considering this, does looking at everything means looking into the past?

Reddit, help me a make a ridiculous ad for my PC repair business using technical terms in a way that doesn't make sense, but the average person wont notice. | I'm making 2 flyers.

Gunnit, I'm a programmer as well as a shooter, and I'm looking to make a ballistics calculator. Could anyone point me towards some good references to the influences on a bullet during its flight, and the mathematics behind it? | Also, what features would you like to be present in a ballistics calculator?

I'm not having much luck getting responses which leads me to assume either:

I get frustrated with how white reddit is. Signed, a soul brother. | Any tips for moving on? I tried Vietnamese whores, but all I got was, "Too Beaucoup! No boom-boom with soul brother!" |
Does anybody else hate Christian Rock? | It's nothing personal, I just think the lyrics are so trite, the chords are like lame, girly versions of rock chords, and the image they present themselves is about as rock n' roll as a hanson record. Plus, whenever they stop being Christian rockers they get even worse! (Like Creed and Nickelback)

Ideas, desires, for the eventual engie update | My favorite idea is a teleportable sentry. If you already have a sentry built, trying to build another one, instead would build a min-tele-pad.
I was thinking the unlock would be the wrench (perhaps in the form of a big red pipe wrench) which when alt-fired, would teleport your sentry between two points.

My sister and I met this guy, we've been hanging out with him for over a year now. Then we first met him we both had boyfriends but we no longer do.

I started climbing at a local rock climbing gym a couple of months ago, and since I started, my hands have been deteriorating.

Does anybody else think the ability to comment should be removed from major Canadian news websites? | I try my best not to read them but they are like a car crash. I can't help but satisfy my morbid curiosity. I just wonder where some of these people come from. And why do they feel the need to shout nonsense into the interwebs?
Would it be such a blow to self expression if people were prevented from polluting a news s... |
Does anybody else realize that no matter what you do or who you are, people will hate you for it? It's really weird for me. | I know most people probably don't find this significant but for me it really made me think a lot. And now I'm applying it to everything major I've done in my life and I'll probably be thinking about it for months. Just seeing if anybody found this as weird as I did. |
How do I even approach this question? | Pointless. That's what I feel when I look at what I've spent the last two years in college doing. I worked hard, and in return, got promoted at my job, got more pieces of paper that let me get things I really don't care about, and in the things I really tried hard in, got back pretty letter A's that meant nothing to me... |
What is your favorite brand/type of tea? | Right now I am a big fan of Mighty Leaf. I want to try some new types of tea and thought this would be the best place to ask. |
What restaurants are there in which the chef/cook is also the server? | Before anyone mentions fast food (like Subway) or sushi bars, let my clarify and say I'm looking for places where the one who prepares your food physically brings it out to your table, as if the restaurant decided to cut out the middlemen. Are there any such places where this practice is perhaps a trademark? |

If you had to abolish one of the following three media from your life forever: books/e-books; television shows; or movies; what would you choose and why? | I'll let this thread moderate itself in terms of what distinguishes one category from another. But I will say that if it sounds like a loophole, then it goes against the spirit of this exercise. |
Is there any way to get bigger forearms? | I've been reading online and it seems like the conclusion is that you are born with them. Any exercises I can do (some sites say wrist curls/extensions do nothing) to actually make them bigger? I'm a pretty small person (small hands) and I want to make my forearms fit my upper arms better. Thanks everyone. |

I'm 17, and any time stuff is generally quiet there's a high-pitched tone in my ears. I've heard it as long as I can remember (I remember thinking when I was 5 that it was what "quiet" sounded like). I can hear it over fairly loud noises if I focus on it. It never stops.

I keep coming back for more | I met my gf 6 months ago. I lost my virginity to her.We started spending a lot of time together almost immediately. Right now I spend 5-6 nights a week at her place.

Reddit, How can I improve myself as a person? | Well, as of late I have been trying to get my shit together and try to become the best person I can be. One morning I was really hung-over, listening to some chill tunes and I got this overwhelming feeling I should improve my life.

Should I start "Real Life" yet? | Alright, I am 24 recently graduated from University last spring in Computer Science. I then realized the job market sucked so I decided to take what little money I had and went traveling to Europe and South East Asia for the past 4 and a half months. Which was really awesome.

I've had a workstation keyboard a year (Korg M50, similar to the Triton series) and am seriously baffled by everything that goes into the production of a patch. I'm in way over my head navigating touchscreen page after touchscreen page and feel like I need a college degree a... |
Hey baconit, here's my version of a muffaletta. Like a pork hug for your tongue. (Cross post from food.) | "And where's the bacon?" you ask, searching for relevance. The prosciutto bread is glazed with bacon fat before and after baking.

IAMA a chronic nail biter AMA (pics inside) | I constantly bite my nails, nonstop. After there is nothing left, I lay siege to the cuticles. I haven't had a need to cut my nails in at least 10 years. AMA.

I was diagnosed with Tourette's yesterday. | I'm not really sure what to do at this point. I've kind of played my tics off to myself and everyone else as being soreness in my neck, or my eyes being tired from my contacts. Now that I have an official diagnosis I feel humiliated being around anyone.
Intellectually I know I'm just doing what I've always done and I'... |
