It was a glass factory, so why not ask permission to exist as a factory. Maybe there would be lesser requirements. Hackerspace is not really an office.

Then open source came along. Welcoming everybody to improve the code. But it seems like there some ego issues there too.
Re:Mars to Earth at an average of 29 kbits/s on Saturday August 11, 2012 @05:50AM (#4369818)
My suggestion is a satellite going around the Sun between Earth and Mars, so that there would be more visibility.
I once saw a girl who separated each kernel with her fingers and ate it. I have not seen anyone else do that. She was eating in spirals, but I thought this is something worth mentioning because I have not seen anyone else do that.

This kind of old news. This has been a problem for many years. But this year there has been no rain yet in Bangalore. I suppose the rains should have started in beginning of June. Many farmers who planted the seeds expecting rains, have lost crops. So, there could be use of excess stocks this year.
Re:The myth of the eight-hour sleep on Thursday February 23, 2012 @06:41AM (#3624574)
There is some problem with the title of the article. It could also mean that you dont need 8 hours of sleep. Other point is the need for sleep varies with age. Babies sleep for very long time like 14 hours; old people need only 5 to 6 hours of sleep. The 8 hour sleep is for youth between 25 and 40 i think. Otherwise, very original point, I have never thought sleeping in 4-hour chunks was natural.

Wear highly reflective object like a diamond on the face, preferably on the forehead. It will project light to the camera and create random pattern on the face. What do you think?
