What's wrong with with discrimination based on eye color? Shouldn't anyone with blue eyes be killed at birth? That's not on the list you mentioned, so it's fair game, right?

And don't forget sports teams. Almost all football programs, for instance, actually cost the university more money than they bring in. This includes revenue from sports memorabilia. Source: friend worked in athletics at my uni and they were extremely proud when they started breaking even.

Take some time off. Decompress. Start up a conversation with a random pretty girl in Hyde Park. Look around and see the happy people and try to capture some of their energy. If you still feel horrible, please seek professional help. No job is worth that level of stress, and if it's hurting you then you just need to cut your losses and find something and someone that makes you happy.

Interesting! Did working for Isohunt help or hurt you in the post Isohunt job search? I would think that the technical skills learned from working at such a massively popular site would go a long way. But I wonder if employers would worry about affiliating themselves with an entity that's been deemed illegal. Thoughts?

Yeah I generally don't think it'd be a good idea to give kids access to parental bank accounts. Maybe I'm wrong, but it just seems like a poor decision.

So....what exactly is Isohunt.to? Isohunt.com was shut down and the footer of Isohunt.to says they are not affiliated with Isohunt inc. So...wouldn't it be safe to assume that Isohunt.to is just an MPAA/RIAA honeypot that's designed to snap up users of the original Isohunt who just don't notice the difference? I'd stay 50,000 miles away from them and any of their "products."

A friend of mine discovered his color blindness when he joined the military and took an eye exam. He said he never noticed things like stoplights red/green being very similar because he just thought that was how it is supposed to be.

Interesting! I would have thought the color "trueness" would have a lot more of an effect. But I guess the originator of the test took that into account.

I scored a 12 on an uncalibrated laptop display (late 2010 MacBook Air) so I don't think that's too poor for my age range (29). Still, I would have liked to see some median scores.

Also, by the end of the process I felt like I was going to be sick, not sure if it was the brightness (my eyes are extremely sensitive to light and I normally keep the brightness at 1 bar but I had it at full brightness for this).

Maximizing shareholder value is less important than offering good customer service. Corporate greed is so disgusting.

So is this basically a sort of more-visual copyscape/turn-it-in system where you can see which parts and how much of a document come from other sources? It's interesting from that perspective, but there's far too much visual noise for it to be the primary document structure of the internet. To simultaneously see every related document to what you're currently reading? Seems like there would be a high cognitive load there.
