Are you really smart? Are you really dumb? Are you average? How did you come to your conclusion?

  • I have a typical smart people career, and my coworkers are pretty smart too. I therefore like to believe that I'm at least somewhat smart... but there's too much evidence to the contrary.

    • Fellow Martians, what is something Earthlings do that makes no sense to you?

  • Trampolines

    • What are your hobby programming projects? I need some inspiration.

  • Chat client and server for a system that is similar to IRC, but with certificates both for encryption and signing. The idea is that this will provide secure end-to-end communications as well as trusting that the person in the other end isn't just someone with the same nickname.

    • The crossover no one ever asked for

  • I didn't ask for this crossover. I demand it.

    • I see you there (and I appreciate you)

  • I lived there for two years, and I think I met one french speaking expat during that time. Czech is the official language (surprise!), and "everyone" speaks it (apart from yours truly).

    One thing I found interesting while living there was that it was usually a safe bet to assume everyone older than me knew russian as a second language, while everyone my age or younger spoke english.

    I lived in Brno, which doesn't have much tourism (just a bunch of expats), but in Prague you'll have no problem with English, I'm sure.

  • Most chechens are muslims. Same reason why other muslims have beards.

  • I think the Luka news about hospitalization were true, though. I might be wrong, but IIRC, it was verified by several sources. Presumably he was in the hospital for "normal" reasons, and got better.

  • I'm sure there's a joke about Colorado in there somewhere.

    EDIT: As you can probably tell, I know fuck all about Colorado. My only point of contact to the state is a coworker who lives there (born and raised, I believe). When asked about whether he'd make it easier for himself and move closer to one of our bases, Quote: "Nah, I like my mountain". I live in similar terrain, and as such it is my right to shit on others practically living in the middle of nowhere.

    • What is the best (faster yet efficient) Anti-Virus scanner and virus removal tool for external hard drives?

    Jump

  • I've taken much pleasure in shitting on Microsoft and their products for decades, but I'm also the first one to admit the products that are actually good:

    • Built-in antivirus (for the past 10 years, at least)
    • Notepad. (Sometimes you don't want any features)
    • Outlook Express (Newer equivalent is decent, but too buggy and bloated)
    • Windows 7 (The pinnacle of an MS OS since MSDOS 6.22)

    There are probably more, but those are the ones I remember off the top of my head.
