Reddit, and some mailing lists (altough Reddit serves me only for the laughts - the mailing lists are far more useful)

Amazing how computer hardware has evolved troughout the years... and how evolution seems to have stalled a bit

Truly amazing. Congrats!
just_testing··on Nokia Cnxn 2011 livestreaming right now. They'll reveal N9, the new MeeGo phone.
I second you. I long for a cell phone having the same keyboard as my old-glorios Nokia 9300 (also known as "brick"). Forget about blackberries, that was the best cellphone to type __ever__

The images on the leaked photos are clearly photoshopped so the apps look like an iPhone.

Unfortunately, I will only take that announcement seriously when I see a review of a working N9. It all smells of unfinished beta going to production.

just_testing··on Ask HN: How do Tumblr & Posterous make money?
Those with ads (like 4shared and megaupload) get money from annoyingly trying to get you to subscribe to get pirated content.

Yes, megavideo, I am looking at your 72-minutes limit.

About those without ads, probably their business model is to trying to get you to subscribe, by being less annoying than those without ads.

just_testing··on Poll: Best Chair For Desktop Coding?
I sometimes use an exercise ball, but that's a dangerous thing to use for long periods of time. Your abs will get tired and you will start to stay in worse positions than if you were on a chair.

With time, you're able to stay larger amounts of time, but caution is advised!

just_testing··on Ask HN: Burned out. How can I make the most of a sabbatical leave?
Hmm.... been there before. What I did: started training martial arts. 6 hours of harsh training, every sunday. My body ached a lot during the week, but my mind started to feel a lot clearer. Exercise: lots of it. Will allow you to regain some of your strength. Not necessarily martial arts, looong bycicle rides can also do the trick.

There are also some changes to the diet that may help you (started with vitamins and eating some meat - helped to alleviate my symptons. May help with you, may not).

But that is just a first step. You must then strive to find the causes of your problem, only then it will disappear. Usually, heavy meditation does the trick. If you train martial arts, your teacher may know something about it. If you don't find anyone, there are lots of books on the subject.

Please note that whatever cure you're offered, you'd better not believe it at first. Test it, and if it works, stick with it.

I hope what I wrote helps you. Feel free to contact me.

just_testing··on Ask HN: ADrive offers 50GB of free storage. Why had I never heard of it?
Well, the lack of SSL doesn't help at all. I prefer to pay a bit more to SpiderOak and have encryption.

Of course, I could make a script to compress all my files with passwords, but the selling point of those services is being easy.
