Same here. Basically everything on that list except programming. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy programming. It used to be a primary hobby. But I have many interests outside of programming. I do enough of it for work so gotta leave room for them.
I do try to learn new programming things though. Just no coding pet projects and such, not anymore.

There's too much ego in this profession. I don't do much programming at home for last little while or boast about programming as leisure. I think I get enough programming during the day.

use it for downloading music and video.... unless you count downloading shuttle launches and X-Prize videos.
Outside of that, the rest of the list is all a true. I do the R&D work that work won't pay for at home, and occassionally come up with a gem that I pass back to work, or others.

My computers are my lifeline. I absolutely need a computer that is connected to the internet or else I may become lost and confused and die. I use my computer for everything...communication, job hunting, maps, information, banking, bill paying ... the list goes on and on. I couldn't imagine a life without a computer.

Its not so much as moonlighting, but most devs like to build their own projects for fun and for free.
I work on the Linux Kernel and Produce SOA application for free.

Except for the 'I don't' option, obviously.

Same here. I was actually clicking them and after the first five or so i checked them all and almost clicked submit. Then saw the "I don't" option.;P
|
|
|
|
|
Haha i did the exact same thing !
|
|
|
|
|
My mouse kept selecting all the options other than 'I don't'. When it encountered 'Others', since most of the optiosn were covered in the list, it was encountering an infinite recursion and System.StackOverFlowException .

|
|
Same here - a bit silly for guys like us.
Well, I didn't click "Other" because I don't know what you guys think "the other thing" is

Now that I've already voted and can't go back and change my vote (nudge), it occurs to me that I should have selected "Participating in online communities." Not only that, but that one should really be at 100%, because anyone who bothered to vote in the poll is doing exactly that.

It's got to be one of the top uses for a computer, and easily the best tool for researching investments. Certainly there are expensive services that will be happy to give you juicy stock picks for a hefty fee, but the information you need is available without cost from a variety of sources if you're willing to do the homework.
Another top use for me is banking and bill payment. It's convenient and, though there are some risks, relatively safe. At least, it's a lot safer than handing your credit card to a youngster in a restaurant to pay your dinner tab. Even mailed checks are no longer safe, now that crooks have learned how to bleach ink off of a written instrument and redirect the funds.

Agreed 100%! Btw, you may be interested in this[^] (completely free) thingy.

I like playing with stocks, but it's not something I do consistently. I have always done well, 94% returned one recent year and never a loss yet, but when you have only a couple hundred$ to play with it doesn't have much impact. Having been stuck in subsistence wage jobs for a dozen years or so my forays in the market have been brief and rare. I'm hoping to change that this year after some long neglected expenses are finally out of the picture.
I see you got my text - much nicer!
