I've seen this task once in one IQ test: "Continue the row of numbers - 2, 4, 8, 16, 19, ..." The answer was - 21... "You know, first we multiply by 2 and then we start to add 3" :) . Perfect "creative thinking" test. The IQ tests, even if

Sure, tags are clearly better than folder trees. But would you tag correctly 1000 bookmarks? Or 10000? Also if we imagine some person starting bookmark list from scratch, with tags - he has to A) make complete tag system from the beginning

So how can I buy it? (full, not upgrade). I thought that they'll sell digital Win 8 Pro for 79$ but can't find any option for this at MS store.

Never ever buy e-books from Amazon, only physical books and things. Especially because all e-stuff on your Amazon account can be permanently deleted without any option to restore (except to buy it again).

A suggestion for the future: Implement an optional filter for the ratings so that it will show with five stars the range from 4* to 5*. 4.0-4.2 - one star (1.0-4.0 is also one star) 4.2-4.4 - two stars ... 4.8-5.0 - five stars This is becau

EVE is a spreadsheets with a chat. Why people like it? Because everything else is so much simpler and dull (except elves in armored bikinis of course). It's like comparing Lego Mindstorms to a Barby game set. The latter is way more popular

This definitely will happen. Like 100% sure. It happens right now, the beginning. And facebook won't be some magic data provider, maybe they'll supply 1-2% of all data if the company will survive for so long at all. Behavioral prediction wi

My 3GS works identically on v5 and v6. No performance or battery life degradation, no new lags. My friends with 4 and 4S tell that battery life actually improved, especially for 4S. Neither of us use jailbreaks of any kind. PS: and as for i

And switch laptop for desktop computer. Reason is - you shouldn't do work at social station, at rest station and at sleep station. You should only work at work station.

For me caffeine is also closer to a placebo (I do know that it works, just weakly and randomly for different people). The major positive effect of it I think is drinking 100-200ml of hot drink. I feel the same after drinking coffee or any t

> No one talks about this stuff! Yeah, right. Probably in some other internet. You can't find a site today where there they weren't discussed at least once. Personally I won't take them without prescription from a doctor. Yes, downsides

Now they just type your BS into their smart phone... ... and click "Save" :) It's unbelievable how many "facts" nowadays lead to some lone blog or wiki article with no references.

> Distinguish users. Reward users. Wrong. Instead user karma system should be deleted completely. (Yes, I know that I am a "newbie" here. Think what you want.). I have seen too many portals died or degraded by the weight of "karma". The

Point is not the absolute "liberalism" value but that relative values are the same through all ages. And if you'll reword the quiz than picture will be the same - age is irrelevant (for this topic).

The fundamentals of Facebook’s business – even when it was working perfectly – are to ensure a steady stream of new users (often via M&A), to grease the user acquisition machine via advertising on just about everywhere, and to incent us

I suppose everyone interested in a good uTorrent client already got v2.2.1 (or even v1.x) installer for future use and won't switch from it in the next decade, so it's perfectly reasonable to create new Vuze from version 3.x for everyone el

Small sites will just require small fee, one time or recurring. You see, we can't take all site, multiply them by some price and add all results to receive some ridiculous number and declare that man just can't pay that much. Because a sing

Yeah, I know this argument - if ads are removed that EVERYTHING would be soo expensive and children in Africa are dying etc. etc. World is not black and white. And by the way, please define "rich" and "rich enough".

I wish someone made a virus which installed tons of anti-adware programs and plugins on target machines. Imagine - every single PC with adblock loaded with rules, wouldn't that be cool :) . inb4: "but ads fund free open web" - I can live wi

Personally, I don't think I'll buy many ebooks from Amazon or B&N in the next few years at least. Not after I've discovered that all your purchases can be permanently deleted from your account with two clicks each. For now I'll stick wi

Before and during reading I was pretty sure that it is a little biased for one of the countries. The end effect was completely reverse - I can't really choose one country as better right now. So I'd call this article a success. Jelly donuts

This experiment probably means this - most of the AD designs are Awful, with a big letter "A". They are so bad that they actually decrease CTR of AD campaign even compared to the blank rectangle image.

A bank sues stock marked over some number fluctuation caused by social network and all that produces millions of profits for the lawyers :) . If I would be more naive I'd say "Let them all burn down". But since all that translates to billio

> "when I'm searching to purchase something on Google, I may click on half a dozen ads in a minute" People really do that? Not search for some specialized site and ask/search there but actually click on ADs to buy useful things?

Yes it is. You can easily swap solving math problems for writing essays in that article and get the same conclusion. Also the whole article completely lacks any statistic basis. 42% of students didn't pass their bachelor exams and 57% stude

Shoes are simple. But where did you put the backup debit bank card? To the "finance" stuff? Or to the "plastic card" pile? Where to put spare photos for documents - near the foreign passport cause you'll surely need both of them next time?

But, as mentioned in the above comment, you can't "prove" that something is an encrypted data unless you already have a valid key. And if police only required to "guess" that something is an encrypted data than Falkvinge logic applies - law
