This is the problem with success, it has many different meanings and some of then are evil. When using technology to kill people it should be carefully studied what is the meaning of success.
while I was driving my car this morning I felt like to howl as a wolf full of energy, and the second thought was selling the sound (about ten dollars) to a small group of people. But I think that sound is not enough to convey the experience of vigour, it should be mixed with some music or strange sound. My question is: have you ever bought some sound that is suppose to activate your mental state beyong music?
This post is a little reflection on this anecdote:
But each time we met she politely told me I was an idiot and my engineering department was even dumber. It took two meetings before we understood that our database schema didn’t include “householding” and without this feature was she could never buy our system. (Householding means recognizing that two or more people at the same physical address live together). That's all folks.
The cook-book is at an early stage, from the post:

This post is not about Yegge. It's a little comparison of Common Lisp and Scheme (Plt Racket). I think a post with such a bad title should not be read no matter its content but YMMV.
This is all it contains about Steve Yegge: The quote from Yegge goes something like "Most newcomers independently come to the same conclusion; Scheme is the better language, but Common Lisp is the right choice for production work." Bottom line, I remember disagreeing a long time ago, but I've uh... independently come to the same conclusion.
When expressing in English my intelligence must be the half that when expression in my native language. And my IQ must be on average. So I will not read a post intended for a CI above 140, I only answer to the comment of drblast guy. If a teacher ask a question with an obvious answer like what is 3 + 3, then I can tell that it depends of the radix use are using, or if you are using 3 as a polynomial in some finite character field, or if you are using some computer language in which the symbols plus is concatenation of strings and the given operation is an error. In any case perhaps any of those answer should bother the teacher, so finally I should say excuse me ...
E-mail and telephone both cover different situations. Telephone is more personal, contains information about emotions, feelings and context of the talk. If the information is about bidirectional feedback then telephone is much better than E-mail. Since they cover different situations you can't say what the title say.
With e-mail you can send spam to thousand of people, you can send e-mail to people that don't know you and that don't care about you. E-mail is like fruit in a tin, telephone is fresh fruit.
While specialists count sheep to get sleep generalist try to build a framework for selling those sheep, so they have a lot more work to do while sleeping.
In some situations is better (more safe) to be an introvert. In certain job contexts, with a lot of competition and gossip going around, is better to tell the other people the least amount of information about any weak point that you have. Well, they are friends or enemies?
I don't know if I am an introvert people, I think I should talk loudly and speak a lot in the right context, but I think there are my sharps in this swimming pool trying to get some bite.
I think I would enjoy a lot at a party with hundreds or thousand of introvert people, they are a lot more preferable to those that never listen, never stop talking, never thing before speaking and are motivated to propagate any new gossip aimed to laugh down someone.
Perhaps there are not introvert people, only people not in the right context and that are used to take it slowly when making new connections.
