    LoadingReadyRun: Every OS Sucks

    Crazy idea: what if you burned a DVD with some video on it and mailed it to an active community member? Or are they not cut into individual clips yet? Even then I'm sure you could take a particularly eventful 4 hour block and let them chop it up and post. I saw what Graham did with the viral...

    Do you "own" your username?

    Wow. I just added it up. That wily bastard, he said it was a random string of characters. But really, should I be surprised that Mr. Alt-Text hid a goodie/nerd reference? Well then, that's just a reminder to name your kid something unique and searchable. As a testament to my unhealthy...

    Do you "own" your username?

    For those of you who usually use the same username on different sites, what happens when you Google it? Have you reached the point where the majority of results are from you registering it, not some "impostor"? And for those of you who're buried in obscurity, do you wish you'd been as smart...

    Your Internet Time-Waster

    I myself am a proud student of the University of Wikipedia. I've taken courses in how the internet infrastructure works, about the U.S. occupation of Japan, about how the British Commonwealth and monarchy works, and more! There's always shit to learn! Man, they need to make a "I love the...

    How Earth will look if it had a ring system like Saturn

    Right, and for a while (not sure how long), before the moon coalesced we did have a ring system. I read the debris from the impact settled into a circular orbit within 24 hours. Here's a simulation of how it looked:

    Best wireless network name you've seen

    WOW. Actually, looks like that's from i-am-bored.com, but still that's a great one if it actually happened to SOMEone.

    How Earth will look if it had a ring system like Saturn

    I don't think we're talking about subtle differences in our religions and astronomy. My instinct here is that there's no way we would've evolved the same (or likely at all). Can't say I can come up with a full explanation, though. I don't know how, but I think it'd affect any combination...

    Best wireless network name you've seen

    Ok wow that wins everything. I cannot emphasize this enough. Everything. Oh, also I like the irony that your GlaDOS failed to still be alive.

    Best wireless network name you've seen

    I want to hear about the best names you've given to your routers, or great ones you've seen broadcasting near you. One of the most interesting ideas I've seen is people using network names to send messages to their neighbors, ie "Your Mail's Overflowing" or "Party is Too Loud." Anyone...

    A challenge: What do you like about America?

    (etc etc) Ok, so Wall of Text actually got it pretty well. Do you live outside of the U.S.? Impressive handle on our politics then. For me, mainly the small amount of racism. Ok, so one caveat: I don't know for sure how true it is. I haven't spent enough time overseas. But a bunch...

    Facebook cheats.

    Ok wow this actually DOESN'T crash your browser like I expected. It just makes a string of circles momentarily whenever you click afterward. I googled "Konami Facebook" and yeah, someone's written about it already of course: http://news.cnet.com/konami-code-triggers-easter-egg-on-facebook-too/

    How often do you clear your browsing history?

    Oh man, Chrome Incognito is key, guys. I haven't cleared my history in like 6 months. I just really like the auto-fill in Chrome & Firefox. Haven't you ever been sitting there thinking "What was that site I saw a while ago? Fuck, I didn't bookmark it but it had something to do with Michael...

    Clearing up misconceptions about your country!

    Understood then: you were just making the point that they had the right, not that they should've won? Apologies if I assumed too much. Also, to be clear I was saying slavery would've caused the CSA to become an international pariah like apartheid did to South Africa. But actually, you're...

    Clearing up misconceptions about your country!

    Man I dunno, maybe some of Maryland is kinda southern but luckily in the Washington area it's diluted by allllll the transplants from everywhere in the country. Also, for all non-Americans: the "the south should have won the Civil War" viewpoint is by FAR a minority here. And UltraParanoia...
