I bought some as an experiment and as I watch it the value is now down to 9% of what it was when I bought it!
I shall continue to watch it until I become either a millionaire or rounding errors reduce it's value to zero.
- I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.

The article has links to some programmer's music web sites also.
article said: ...researchers found that a moderate amount of ambient noise is best for creative performance. A high level of noise hurts performance and “impairs creativity”. If your office is quiet enough to hear a pin drop, it might not be the best environment for creativity.

Lately it's been TED talks and Podcasts, which is a departure from the normal hard rock or metal.

I like podcasts too.
If I listen to music, it is usually something 'middle of the road'. If I get into it too much, I get distracted.

Wow, the ability to concentrate on two things at once is amazing.
I can't even listen to music with lyrics and code.

Oh I wish.
I catch bits of them, and they give me something to chew on while working, which is great when doing XAML work or the like.
I end up listening to the same ones more than once when working or real stuff, though, and often will go back to music.

That can't be right.
We've already established that performance is improved by a loop of Boney M and Tony Orlando.

Last week, The Guardian reported that Google may shut down Google News in Europe if the “link tax” is implemented in a way that the company has to pay news publishers. I didn't think they needed an excuse to kill a service?

This will make a huge difference to my lifestyle.
How will I be able to live without news that's filtred through a Californian mega corp?

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?

Quote: Julia Reda, an MEP, however, believes that this “link tax” will not be as extreme as the link tax implemented in Spain, where Google was required to pay publishers even if they didn’t want to be paid. “What we think is more likely is that publishers will have the choice to ask for Google to pay or not,” she told WIRED.
So, like in Germany, there will be 2 categories of news sites. Those that don't ask to be paid, and those that are invisible to the wider web because they're not indexed in any major search engine? What a waste of time. Any publisher that wants to commit traffic suicide today can do so by just setting a robots.txt file to have search spiders completely ignore them.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?
