I know I want to upgrade my computer setup but I'm not sure which path to take: should I get a new monitor, a mechanical keyboard, or a DAC + headphones? I'm not good at decisions and I can't afford more than one at the moment.

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you’re referring to as Real, is in fact, Real/Ideology, or as I've recently taken to calling it, Reality plus Ideology. Reality is not an ontological doctrine unto itself, but rather another free component within the ontological fabric, knitted by the hegemonic systems of representation and reproduction, comprising a full ontological doctrine as defined by Plato.

Many people run a modified version of the Ideological system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of Ideology which is widely used today is often called “Real”, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically an Ideological system, developed by the ruling class. There really is a Real, and these people exist within it, but it is just a part of the system they experience.

Reality is the state of things as they actually exist. The truth is an essential part of an ontological doctrine, but useless by itself; it can only be experienced in the context of a complete Symbolic Interpretation. Reality is normally used in combination with false consciousness: the whole system is basically Real with Ideology added, or Real/Ideology. All the so-called “ideological conceptions' are really distributions of Real/Ideology

oh OK. Add some your own commenting code, and then give it a FOSS license.

The easiest way to add comments is to write a bit of CGI that adds the comment to the end of a file with a single O_APPEND write. Use JavaScript to massage the writes into pretty comments with gravatar icons or whatever. If you can't do that, the next-easiest thing is to lock the file, write to the end of it, then unlock the file. If you can't go that, then you may as well get MySQL and a PHP CMS to do everything for you.

Former BBC executive downloaded a haul of online porn - including 150 indecent images of children - so massive it crashed his work's entire internet connection

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3552085/Former-BBC-executive-downloaded-150-indecent-images-children-folders-named-teens-pizza-massive-haul-online-porn.html

• Mark Deitch, 57, of Willden, Bedfordshire, worked for BBC for 12 years

• He admitted downloading images but said they were part of wider haul

• Says he was unaware of folder called ‘pizza’ with indecent child images

• He worked for talent agency Benjamin Management at time of offences

Mark Deitch, 57, of Willden, Bedfordshire, would spend hours of time at work at a talent agency scouring anonymous online forum 4chan for things to download as he procrastinated - and it was enough to crash the internet connection.

He used a work computer to download the images before transferring them to an external hard drive.

His computer only came under scrutiny after technicians tried to fix it. Prosecutor Adrian Fleming said the original computer had been wiped so that it could be used by someone else.

This meant investigators could only examine the hard drive and that certain factors - such as a browser search history - were unavailable. They did find a folder called 'MDX' which Deitch admitted he may have created because it was his initials and an 'X' which could stand for X-rated content.

Mr Fleming said: ‘Within that we [found] a number of sub files including one entitled “pizza”.

‘This file “pizza”, in which approximately half of the images were found, waPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

I noticed that some websites I visit severely bog down my browsers, whether Internet Explorer or Firefox.

Some work fine, like Drudge for example. But all the little offshoots of Drudge function like shit, are boggy, laggy, freeze and pop constantly. For that reason, IE is literally unusable for me.

Mostly big sites fuck up like this, bum a rare few like Amazon.com don't.

or they're not big sites, little blogs like, for example, Razzball.com don't work for shit.

There's a lot of innernet out there. Routers, switches, entire ISPs need to be hammered, ad-hoc connections kind of count as innernet, so you'd better get to smashing not only everyone's network gear, but the individual client devices as well. Better fuck up the cables as well, just in case some fucks try to cobble something back together while you're busy fucking up other shit. I'm not entirely sure how you're going to take down satellites communicating with each other, but there's probably at least one solution that involves driving hammers into space and letting Kessler syndrome take care of the rest.

If you want to hammer the entire internet and stop procrastinating, you really should stop procrastinating and get to hammering.

I have another mindset that I turn on when I need to get things done.

Ironically this is the whimsical mindset that doesn't think but simply does.

It represents the unification of poetic knowledge with scientific knowledge.

I never have to force myself to do anything because the whimsical mind just doesn't care about anything, not happiness and not even death.

So I'm free to direct it as I see fit and there will be no mental friction because to the whimsical mind it is neither here nor there; doing it is the same as not doing it so why not do it.

That's if we are talking about expensive LEDs with good driver and proper heatsink. High-quality CFLs have better efficacy than OP's cheap chyna LEDs. Some CFLs have efficacy up to 70lm/w, which is much better than OP's shit.

>and don't last worth shit

Just like cheap LEDs. Good CFLs are even cheaper and will last longer. But high-quality LEDs with proper heatsink will last >>20,000h and will save you more energy.

>And LEDs are just starting to become cheap enough to make sense but I guarantee you they wont die out from sitting in my storage space like the shitty florescent ones

see above, cheap != good. If you're poorfag it's better to invest in high quality CFLs or in soldering station and details.
