    Should I quit my job?

    In your position, I'd learn how to live with a little less money - just in case - so that $14k would last for a year or so. And if you think you can handle it, you could save up some more. Either way, at some point quit and start looking for something more enjoyable. Life's too short to be spent...

    Displaying a Facebook comment thread on a website (e.g. like in Zero Punctuation)

    Hello! I like the feature in the Zero Punctuation videos, where a Facebook comment thread is visible below the video. I'd like to implement something similar to my blog, but don't know where to begin. Does anyone here know how the system works, or what it's called? I can read manuals and...

    Bewbs on Deviantart

    This would be less of a problem if nudity wasn't made into such a big deal, especially in the US. Without all this fear of nudity there would be no shock value, controversy, whining about values, decency etc etc. People showing bare skin would then be less interesting and camwhores and such...

    What's strange about *your* language?

    And it "works" the other way around too, some words have the exact same spelling but different pronounciation and meaning, like the word live. You can live your life and watch live news. That's just silly. Also, if you read aloud or vocalize words in your mind when you read a text, and come...

    All about the Pentiums (my attempt at building a PC, final update)

    Well, the first time I built a PC completely by myself was a royal fuck-up that I'm almost proud of. The case had these counterparts (what do you call them?) for screwing in the motherboard, and since the first two seemed to be in the correct position, I just assumed the rest of them are too...

    I hate group projects.

    My favourite group project at the university was a course where the "final exam" of a sort was a presentation held in pairs. And when the presentation day came, my pair just decided not to show up and not to tell me she's not coming. That presentation obviously didn't go too well.

    What's strange about *your* language?

    I suppose Finnish and Hungarian do belong to a sort-of same family of languages, but ask any Hungarian or Finn and they'll tell you the languages have almost nothing in common. In the Finnish language we prefer to glue suffixes into words instead of using prepositions, particles or other such...

    Best ZP for a long time. Gave me many laughs, thanks!

    Zero Punctuation: Silent Hill 2

    "You start to think that James' nightmare might be entirely his own creation, as if the town is just handing him a set of jump cables and watching as he sticks them on his balls. It's a fascinating voyage of pain and despair that leaves you emotionally drained and satisfied like fucking a...

    Letters to the Editor: Smile, You're Gaming!

    "TF2 is still one of my favorite games. I usually change games like I change underwear (seriously, every day), but I can always come back and enjoy a few hours of TF2." That's a lovely analogy. It unintentionally delivers the idea that you change your underwear every day, but can always come...

    Zero Punctuation: Fallout 3

    Hmm, that does sound like a problem. Guess I just haven't gotten enough skill points in weapons yet. :)

    Zero Punctuation: Fallout 3

    Was I the only one who thought the opening of this review was kinda blah? I mean, the joke is ancient. It's been around as long as there have been reviews. Or movies. Or radio programs. Or basically anything that has an intro and an outro. No big deal, though, I was just surprised at how many...

    Zero Punctuation: The Orange Box

    Great review, made me laugh aloud a few times. But please, for fooks sake, slow down a little! Not all of us start the morning with a fistful of amphetamine, so it's pretty difficult for a non-native English speaker to follow when your words per minute is twice TF2 Heavy's rounds per minute...
