yoster··on Pizza Compass
After watching the guy in the video, I think I will pass on pizza today.... No thrills , but it would help if they would have had a sexy model instead :)
yoster··on Bill Gates on iPad - Users are frustrated. They can't type or create documents
I use Pages and Numbers for my iPad. When I want to do a presentation, I will use Keynote. I am not frustrated at all with my iOS devices. I can't say the same when I demoed a Windows 8 Laptop. I'm not a Windows basher as I use Windows 7 Ultimate on my laptops and look forward to Windows Blue. Bill should look into the frustrations of users of Microsoft before criticizing other devices.

Take a vacation?
yoster··on “SNL” Parodies Google Glass
Good ol SNL. They haven't been really funny lately, but every once in a while they will come out with something hilarious like this.
yoster··on My Dad The Engineer
Great inspirational story! My dad was a hard worker and could build anything. He died when I was pretty young and I had to find my own inspiration to succeed in life.
yoster··on I don’t understand American healthcare – doesn’t mean I shouldn’t provide it
The problem with the states on health insurance is that unless you are part of the 1%, you need it. Healthcare industries are huge corporations that are in it for the almighty dollar. If you go to the emergency room and do not have health insurance, you can bet you will have a bill that will run a couple grand minimum. I wish we were like other countries where we can have a national healthcare system. This is one of the most basic human needs that should be available to everyone. I am very thankful that my company offers an excellent healthcare plan, and I think everyone should have access to a healthcare plan.
yoster··on Ask HN: How many hours of sleep are you getting?
For the last couple of weeks, I have been getting about 4 hours of sleep a day. It is maddening, with me resorting to ZZZQuil. It does knock me out, but I wake up 4 hours later. I have been used to waking up in the afternoon for years, and getting 7-8 hours of sleep. I recently had a schedule change and I am slowly going insane...
yoster··on Experience: I was swallowed by a hippo
This guy is not right in the head. He even lead another expedition at the place of the attack two years later.
yoster··on Are you a psychopath?
Me too! Let's go chop up some people! Hehe J/K... or am I? DUN DUN DUN!
yoster··on Are you a psychopath?
I made the top 5% of respondents. I am a psychopath...
yoster··on 3 In 10 Americans Will Not Knowingly Buy Chinese-Owned Brands
I don't care what country owns the brand as long as it is dependable and well made. Chinese products have a big stigma of being cheaply made. There are also a lot of reports of products from China containing unhealthy levels of lead. It would be great if most of the products being sold are made in your home country, but until prices are matched, it would be a while until that happens.
yoster··on Year 2038 problem
Rerun of Y2K...
yoster··on Rap Genius’ Co-Founder Apologizes To Zuck
/facepalm
yoster··on Employee Turns Gaming Network Into Private Bitcoin Mine
$3700 with the matching donation would make it 50-60 cents with your estimate. With a group lawsuit, the payout would be much greater.
yoster··on Use a Software Bug to Win Video Poker? That’s a Federal Hacking Case
I guess it's OK to steal billions of dollars from tourists, but when the tables are turned, it becomes a crime.
yoster··on High school student faces adult felony charges for setting off chemical reaction
It also seems bullying has grown to astronomical proportions.
yoster··on High school student faces adult felony charges for setting off chemical reaction
Wonder if it has to do with her skin color. This was nowhere near a real bomb and it sounds like a stupid prank if anything. When I was younger, I had a cap gun that looked like a real gun. I was messing around with it while everyone was taking a test. I thought it would be funny and shot off a bunch of rounds. No one got scared, they just turned their heads to the back of the room and smiled when they saw who it was. The teacher rolled her eyes and said "office". I got suspended for it, and was told that I would have to have a parent-principle meeting to go back to school. I ended up "playing hooky" from school for a month because I didn't want to tell my parents. Nowadays if I did this, I would end up with a slew of felonies. Things have really changed from the 90's....
yoster··on The McDonald's Theory of Bad Ideas
You could also compare a McDonald's salad with a Subway sandwich.
yoster··on Employee Turns Gaming Network Into Private Bitcoin Mine
Instead of donating to charity, they should have given it to the gamers who had their computers illegally used. They do not realize the criminal and civil actions that can arise from this.
yoster··on The McDonald's Theory of Bad Ideas
You could eat there all the time if you wanted. They do sell salads....
yoster··on My first Mac App - a distraction-free note taking app
iCloud is a must for any note app. I definitely like putting something on my iPhone then checking my iPad/iMac later in the day to read/edit it later on a bigger screen. Congratulations on your app!
yoster··on The McDonald's Theory of Bad Ideas
Children do love their happy meals though. There wouldn't be a plethora of these fast food places all over the world if the vast majority of people didn't like McDonald's. It isn't healthy to eat at everyday, but every once in a while is fine.
yoster··on The McDonald's Theory of Bad Ideas
Nothing wrong with McDonald's in the states. The guy is probably some hippie who thinks he's too good for fast food. You know, the type who flairs his nostrils if he can't order his favorite bottle of wine at a restaurant.
yoster··on The McDonald's Theory of Bad Ideas
I happen to like McDonald's every once in a while.
yoster··on What a stupid idea
I know the feeling. For me it was in the stock market. I had a chance to invest a substantial amount in gold about 13 years ago with someone who wanted to dump his gold stocks at a discounted price. I scoffed at the idea and thought it was stupid. Well, we all know how that turned out....
yoster··on Simplify
After reading this topic "India is drowning in its own excreta" on this site, I don't think I would live in India anytime soon.
yoster··on German Ministry of Education Throws Away PCs For 190,000 € Due To Infection
Talk about some inefficient spending on Germany! Thousands of dollars wasted, and to think in the states we waste billions.
yoster··on Pentagon Paying China To Carry Data
The states won't let a Chinese phone carrier do business here because of the chance for espionage, but turn around and do this? What irony....
yoster··on Call Girl: What I Learned During My Year as a Customer Service Representative
Prostitution is actually legal in Nevada.
yoster··on Photographers' anger at law change over 'orphan works'
Pretty amazed that they would make it legal to steal... The law is too vague on how they would attempt to contact the owner and it does not state how much they have to pay to license it.
