Things I wish I’d known when I was younger
July 21st, 2007
From lifehack.org:
Most people learn over time, but often learning comes too late to be fully useful. There are certainly many things that I know now that would have been extremely useful to me earlier in my life; things that could have saved me from many of the mistakes and hurts I suffered over the years—and most of those that I inflicted on others too.
Programming Language Wars
July 21st, 2007
Human beings love to argue. Whether the argument is about boxers vs. briefs, ketchup vs. mustard, or Ginger vs. Mary Ann, people will take a position and argue.
This trait is particularly common among programmers. Classic arguments include big endian versus little endian, indexing arrays beginning with 1 or 0, and which language is best. While the other debates have subsided a bit, the argument over which language is best seems to have heated up.
And here’s a good article about ‘Code reuse’

A great new way to set your car’s side-view mirrors
July 19th, 2007
For years, we’d been setting our side-view mirrors so that they gave us a view of the back corner of our cars. This is the way it’s been done for generations – from grandfather, to father, to us! But we finally discovered something very interesting. The back corner of the car never moves. It always stays in the same exact place. So there’s really no reason to keep an eye on it.
By moving the side mirrors farther out, you can line up all three of your mirrors so they have minimal overlap — and you can see everything behind you and beside you.

Women- Here’s How You Can Have Longer Orgasms
July 15th, 2007
From rosecry.com
Greedy girls pay attention: If you want a longer, deeper, more intense orgasm, you’ve (ahem) come to the right place. Considering the average female orgasm lasts between 15 and 30 seconds, it’s not surprising that many women feel a little, well, cheated when it comes to coming.
Now imagine an orgasm that lasts a full 30 minutes, This was the astonishing promise of two U.S. sexologists who pioneered what’s called the Extended Sexual Orgasm technique in the 80s. It was a pretty big claim – and it got a pretty big response at the time. But just like the G-spot, when people couldn’t figure out the whole orgasmic program in five minutes flat, it quickly and quietly disappeared into the “too complicated” basket… until now.
Sex therapists have recently resurrected Extended Sexual Orgasm (ESO) – and are seeing some spectacular results. What’s changed? The fact is, we’re far more sex-savvy now than ever before. So let’s get started.
