i often wonder and can't decide. possibly political science and international relations and/or economics. All as a second degree after my own, because I would choose physics again if it came to rewinding :). Linguistics and language processing might be another option. Oh I cant decide!

I'm DOIN' IT! Studying massage therapy now. :-D Would still like to learn more photography, as well.

Cognitive Neuroscience, maybe. I did think about it, but some interesting books, Kandel's _In Search of Memory_ and Marcus's _The Birth of the Mind_, convinced me that the road I took instead (Bioinformatics) is where it's at, at this point in time. I do hope to get back to Game Theory some day, and Artificial Intelligence was always appealing.

:)) I was getting very frustrated with FF's best of the day page, showing mostly meta-links about FF itself all the time. And then this. Once in a while, there is one single link that makes all these page loads worth it :)
- Yaniv Golan
LMAO for most of the 10 min. Will fwd to several IT peeps I know...and maybe a few peeps at Twitter. Wonder if they'll think it's funny.
- Cathryn Hrudicka
The realism of this thing is just awe-inspiring. That techie behave pretty much like any techie I've ever encountered who's been asked to do a stupid task. And the sales dude is lethally real too. This is Dilbert meets The Office on steroids. Thanks for the link.

Without Google Reader, I would be so much more productive. And also more boring and less knowledgeable since I'd read fewer feeds. Thanks for all the hard work and good luck for the future!
- Tony Ruscoe
Wow, thanks a lot for your great work on Reader. It's really changed a lot of peoples' lives (including mine).

Definitely thanks for your work. It changed my life so much that I decided to build one.

What are we counting as a computer? If you wanna get technical I'm sure I have dozens. If you mean boxes that can run a popular OS, then I have 5 that are all actively being used.

I guess two based on the traditional notion of a computer. Although I'd argue that there's at least 2 dozen devices in my home more powerful than my Quadra 640AV was 15 years ago.
- Mark Trapp
Tad a traditional laptop or desktop running any os flavor of choice.
- Mike Fruchter

That is just aweful. He was one of the best newsmen on television
- Chris Patterson
The one political talk show host I'd want to spend time with. Untimely in a lot of ways.
- Tom Landini
TR was one of the best, and authentic to the core--a real loss
- mark ivey
He'll be missed. I went to Boston College and he was on campus all the time due to his son attending. I hope the BC community pulls together for his family.
- Frankie Warren
I'm just wondering if "Liked" is a good word for stories like this, maybe "Noted" would be better?
- Chris Nuttall
For anyone that's interested in politics, this is a great loss. I'm so sad.
- Eric Thompson
Down in Buffalo too. I was having problems last night with Amazon too. Couldn't add anything to cart (got error messages) for a couple hours last night. Tough couple days!
- Jason Dettbarn
Wow, 2.5 million in theoretical sales gone already. That would wipe out so many companies. Won't even register on their books when it's all said and done.
- Jeremy Felt
Actually, even now (at 4:11 pm in the afternoon) the site seems to be back up but if you try to navigate the site via links to various titles, the infamous 1.1 Service Unavailable sign comes back.
- Jill O'Neill
I would give them a mirror, that orange paint seriously! How can they think that helps them when they are out hunting. It would be like Barney the dinosaur hiding in snow!
