Really? I use most of those, but none of them very often. The heart of the Facebook experience--especially in the newest iteration--is the status news feed, with the profile Wall probably in 2nd place. And it feels like some of their apps, like Groups and Notes, are intentionally being pushed into the background. I have no trouble at all believing that newer users are staying exclusively inside the news feed, and maybe leaving messages on the wall or sending private messages.

There are some interesting connections between creativity and schizophrenia.

Furthermore, there are various drugs that induce schizophrenic-like mental states.

It's been shown drugs can make you smarter, faster, stronger, why would creativity be any different.
Depends on the valuation.
I don't know how to actively increase creativity, but I do know how to actively decrease my fear of failure.

It seems like the less I fear failing, the more my creativity emerges.

"Observe everything. Communicate well. Draw, draw, draw." Frank Thomas (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frank_Thomas_(animator))
That's ridiculous... who would bother to think up an anagram just for a pointless joke?
Hmm, I think creativity comes from being bold, and not being afraid to experiment and putting something out there that is uniquely your own. I takes being comfortable with oneself and what you have to say. And being able to handle ridicule/disappointment if it flops, and being able to keep experimenting.
How to use Google Alerts to find out if your site gets hacked
I would love to see how this changes the usage of twitter.
Maybe for the better.
I worked as a reviewer, games and movies, for a few years and my personal opinion is that the quality of good games has remained the same, the problem is that there are so many games being released that for the average person it is very difficult to tell what is good and bad.

I got out of reviewing when I felt there was too much pressure to rate certain companies high. I got to play some genuinely great games, but some were flat out awful to the point that it was painful to play. When I felt like I couldn't tell people not to buy certain games (hello EA) and when it got to the point that review material was being embargoed to give certain companies the advantage (I presume for giving high reviews) I couldn't take it anymore.

I believe it may take major layoffs and some companies going bust before we see some improvement. I doubt it would get as bad as the '83 crash, but then perhaps it should. This does seem to cycle in that so many games come out and then companies start trying to sell the chaff as grain and people stop buying.

Like you said, this happens in the movie industry. No movie has hit quite as high as Titanic, however the fan following for Star Trek could help it along, not to mention that I know a lot of people (including my wife) want to go see this despite my doubting they'd ever want to go see it. My wife can be particularly annoying to convince to watch a DVD or TV series, so the fact that she actually told me she wants to go see it (seconds after the trailer finishing in the cinema) gives me the impression it could do huge. My wife is literally a fan waiting to happen, so if Abrams can pull it off I might have a free ride for the rest of the franchise's life. Then there's just Stargate left to get her fully converted on and I'll have the three Stars (Wars, Trek and -gate).

I would find it quite ironic if the release of Star Trek saved the economy by getting sales well beyond the $2 billion mark.

Feed your muse by consuming creative things, and then repetition.
Have a lot of peace, smile - be happy then pump in a lot of passion, get excited and just think how to make things better.
Solving algorithm puzzles helps a lot for general creativity. I think the most important thing to understand and embrace when being creative is: a lot of people will not understand/like/approve of your creative efforts. Do NOT let this get you down or discourage you. Enjoy being creative simply because it's fun. Don't think about the opinions of other people!

They are nearly always irrelevant, have a very high proportion of spam/scam associated sellers and don't have enough information or value for me to click them.
I'm with the camp that it's hard to teach. I'm talking about "creative" in the romantic sense of the word: the kind that is stereotypically exhibited by mad scientists, hermit authors, and bipolar playwrights. The kind of "useful abnormality" that does not occur to the common mind.

In these cases, I would argue the creativity stems from a different brain structure, and I would not be wrong in saying so. To this extent, it cannot be taught. But in the same vein, everybody is creative in their own ways. But it needs to be coaxed. The coaxing is the job of the perceptive teacher, and I think the early years of life are critical for healthy development in this area.

How do you learn to be creative? I would sum it up as "de-inhibit your brain." If you grew up in an oppressive environment where you could be punished for any arbitrarily bad expression, it is imaginable that you would be conditioned to avoid thinking in certain non-standard ways.
You would need a slightly larger set of words, but nonetheless an interesting solution.
Interesting result about goto
Creativity is the process of getting your brain not to shut down ideas that it comes up with before you can really give them a chance.

One way to do this is to focus on asking questions:

- What if this is the wrong approach?
- How can this be made more general?
- Should it be more general?
- Should I be doing the opposite?
- What other uses might this have?
- What problem is this a better solution to?
- What are the pieces of this idea?
- What can I make with each piece?
- (Repeat first steps)
- How can I implement this idea?
- On a budget?
- With an unlimited budget?
- "Green"
- For Red staters
- For blue staters
- For the third world?
- For free?
- Why not do this before now?
- Why not do this after now?

You get the idea. Just let your questioner run wild and enjoy the process. I recommend asking about 1000 questions and figuring out what makes you most excited or what you think packs the most punch.

I think creativity is more of the absence of a trait (excessive internal "downmodding" of thoughts) vs the presence of a trait.

Oh, and this may be a bit cliche, but sleep on it. Doze off thinking about it and then maybe in the shower the next day you'll get some ideas.

Also brainstorming with a friend can be a fun way to flush out cool ideas.
This doesn't seem to evidence that bilingualism is a critical factor in faster/earlier development of executive functions. Language just happens to be a very suitable vehicle for it -- because babies desperately try to synthesize the information around them, they have no choice but to attune to the sounds and try to make sense of them.

It is possible that language is the most suitable vehicle, but it remains a vehicle and not the principle component. You could possibly get the same outcome, if for every interaction with the baby, the father and the mother have habitually different behaviors. Dad always uses his left hand, mom always uses right. Dad always wears blue, mom always wears red. This is has similar executive control / perspective taking demands. Language is just a more flexible and ubiquitous version of this kind of categorical differentiation.
A seatbelt is a simple, preditable mechanism that functions without impeding the driving experience. Anti-virus software which is a complicated, unpredictable mechanism that significantly impedes the computing experience.

I find a more viable approach is to be careful with the OS install (not install untrusted stuff) and also to make it expendable. Data lives on a single-purpose unix host and is regularly backed up so I can do a predictable, quick, low-effort reinstall and be back to operation in a couple of hours.

An outcome I've wanted but not done - computer lives behind a router which is set up to make active monitoring and managing of traffic easy. Product idea - consumer-ready but geek-friendly router with powerful but easy-to-use tools that doesn't suck. Interface should be live so that you can see the traffic coming and going, and there should be controls to allow you to open up and close access to different sites. Stand-along system with a profile a bit like a sunray, plug for commodity keyboard and monitor.

In my own opinion, yes. If I were the owner of the site, I would use a Link Ad just below the The Online Slang Dictionary with the same background color and white text color.

And I would add another Link Ad below Welcome to The Online Slang Dictionary this time with a white background.

Then I would remove the big vertical ad and place it in a box similar to the "Subscribe to updates" and "Bookmark or share" boxes and label it with maybe "Other Resources" -- after all Google text ads are relevant :P

Just my own 2 cents... :)

Damn. This also means back end for iphone apps running on google appengine will have a much much harder time...

Sure you could have a cron job that triggers a request handler on the appengine to open and close connections to apple periodically. But this cron job would have to be not too close to each other, so as to not be treated as DOS requests.. aaaaaaaaaah... damn it when will we see real background processing on app engine (or on the iphone, if at all)...
It complies to neither an iterative NOR a recursive version. It compiles to LAZY version. This code doesn't loop at all. It forces the argument just deep enough to go three nodes into the list spine. Then, picks the branch based on the number items in the list, forces the first element of the list, and sets up a thunk for appending everything on later.

This was a little bit of a simplification of things; I don't need to go into great detail to make my point.
On what evidence are you basing this?

I know many people that like Hulu's interface better, but that isn't why they watch it over YouTube. They watch Hulu because it has shows they want to see. And when they want to upload or share that funny video of their kids, they use YouTube.
Having worked as a reviewer for 3 years, my personal opinion is that it definitely didn't help that no truly good games came out this March.

The only actual new game (not a sequel) that appeared to be good to me was H.A.W.X.. However, from the demo I couldn't say higher than an 8/10.

Resident Evil has always done reasonably well, however I've never liked the series. Empire: Total War interests me, but I gave up on trying to follow PC games after the whole DX10 only games and now they're bringing out D3D11! That leaves GTA: Chinatown; I'd be interested in Pokemon Platinum, but these ones always feel like such a cheat.

This leaves the only games I'd have bought as H.A.W.X. (not at $70 for a game I don't trust to be amazing) and a DS game.

It doesn't help that prices of some of the big games haven't dropped in over 6 months from their original release price. Hopefully the recession and now this huge drop in games sales might get them to drop the prices of games to get their sales up. What seriously pissed me off was when the recession started, Fallout 3 went up in price.

Anyone at all can and does fork, which, yeah, is great and all, but until they fiddle some more with the UI or something, makes it really difficult for other people to figure out who the heck the core team is.

It's not like it wasn't possible to fork stuff in the past, it just required a little bit more effort... enough so that you didn't just get random copies of stuff all over the place.

I wonder if you get a projects bugs if you fork it?

I believe creativity is a result of a genetic predisposition that manifests itself in the presence of extensive experience/knowledge.

So yes, it helps to check out cool ideas (e.g., on TED, TechCrunch, etc.) and to think critically about those ideas.

A creative idea is often the result of a novel pairing of two things. So the more things you know about, the better your chances are that you will stumble upon a compelling pairing.

"creativity" is all about process. come up with methods for putting ideas / objects / anything together and when you have a whole series, pick the ones that are most intriguing and run with them.

it's a tough sell to imply that any product, any idea, or any thing is creative in the sense that it appeared out of some sort of magical, big-bang of inspiration. your brain works by building connections, so anything you build is going to be an expression of everything you know; it's just a matter of not being afraid to experiment, and of iterating as fast as possible to find combinations of ideas virulent enough to claw their way above the slew and become something special.

and the energy you spend searching, identifying and implementing those combinations of ideas is directly related to the likelihood of their success... however you choose to define it.

don't be afraid to fail. by failing you're educating yourself about what doesn't work, which, in turn, makes it easier to identify what will.

also, when you're trying to be creative, the easiest way to fail is to not do anything at all. it's too easy to cogitate endlessly about what good solutions COULD be, rather than taking real steps to implement and identify what good solutions ARE.

i'd go with nike... "just do it." ...or maybe, "obey your thirst."

Okay, but in doing so, it's not pushing an extra stack frame with each step, but rather just jmping its way along, correct? That's what most people think of as being iterative (or tail-recursive), rather than simply recursive, behaviour, and it can apply equally to a lazy algorithm.
Possibly, but Internet TV now is all on-demand and there aren't any 24/7 streaming CNN or ESPN channels people are use to.

Give it five to six years and Internet TV maybe giving cable TV a run for it's money. If it does then the capped bandwidth plan Time Warner has been pushing might become how we pay for our broadband(possibly).

I read 1:6 (O-3:O-6) is supposedly balanced, no ill effect or positive effects. 1:4 is considered good, but aiming for a 1:1 is definitely a good target.

The thing I find most disturbing is that omega-6 can replace monounsaturated fats in your skin and could significantly increase your risk of cancer. I'm unsure of how exactly, but the polyunsaturated fats increase the free radical production, where as monounsaturated and saturated fats can prevent it. Not to mention polyunsaturated fats might inhibit vitamin D production.

Another thing to consider, omega-6 can inhibit your immune system, which further increases your risk of cancer. It just kicks you when you're down, not only can O-6 cause cancer, but it can stop your body fighting it too.
Find inspiration in everything

I think that begs the question. How does one find 'inspiration' in something?
Wow. Street justice does not fool around.
I see where you are coming from now, and I appreciate that you took the time to explain so thoroughly. I guess I was not aware that it was discretionary to the jailers; with that in mind I can see how it could be used as a weapon, a torment, not necessarily associated with the original sentence commensurate to some crime. Where there is no accountability, there is often abuse, and my earlier comment that criminals 'should' (sorry...) consider it as a potential consequence was predicated on measured and accounted application. I wasn't trying to be cruel.

Sorry, but I've fixed a few computers that didn't have antivirus, spyware blocker or firewall. Besides BSoD's and key processes being hijacked, I can definitely say it does help keep the performance up.

It may slow down your PC initially, but it keeps the performance for life. You might have great performance after a fresh install, however it doesn't last for long.

Personally, I'd rather have a working PC than have to deal with a BSoD. I doubt I'd get many virus' and such as I don't download those kinds of files. However if you have a teenager in your family either whip them every time they try to touch a computer, but the way that's less likely to end in your incarceration is installing virus software.

The choice is prevent or protect, and I'm guessing many people here could prevent through their browsing behavior, I doubt the same could be said for any 12-16 year olds.
I think you're making an interesting point. I wonder how many individuals that have achieved a high level of success in their careers (CEOs of Fortune 1000 companies, entrepreneurs of fast growth companies, etc.) have balanced that career success with a high level of achievement in their personal life (family and friendships). Can you manage to devote enough energy/time to work and life to achieve a high level of success in both? Is anyone aware of any role models?
I wouldn't rule it out happening. However, I think the bigger risk (not necessarily more likely to happen, but the gain would be much bigger) would be someone getting a piece of malware built into the actual distro.
On linux, you also have the trouble of many different distributions and a very small user base. The time it would take to develop it wouldn't be worth the small user base it would attract. Any Linux malware would be targeting a tiny fraction of a fraction of a market.
