I purchased a kinesis freestyle 2. Besides the lack of a numeric keypad(you can buy an accessory easily) it is the best keyboard I have had. Very functional with the adjustable split down the middle.


Wouldn't "intent to profit from the goodwill of a trademark belonging to someone else." apply in this case considering you are holding onto a bunch of domain names that you are not using? It is implied that someone is going to use that URL as a trademark of sorts, since it will usually describe their project/business.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anticybersquatting_Consumer_Pro... says "The law was designed to thwart “cybersquatters” who register Internet domain names containing trademarks with no intention of creating a legitimate web site, but instead plan to sell the domain name to the trademark owner or a third party.[3]"

Isn't that you?


From a quick scan through Jacques' list of domains, I didn't see anything that looked like an existing trademark.

There's nothing wrong with owning something and not immediately developing it. It happens with physical assets all the time. Someone owns an empty plot of land and then one day someone else builds a shopping mall next to it. Now it's very valuable. Maybe you'll build a gas station or a restaurant on it now. Or it sits there just being an empty plot of land beside other empty plots of land. You never know.


Which trademark do you mean?


It's not which; It is when. That is why you hold them, no?


How so?


Have you ever known someone who uses marijuana medicinally?


No. What precisely is your point? That there are legitimate uses for weed? Ok, agreed.

There are legitimate uses for alcohol too. Great disinfectant. Great at cleaning mechanical parts.

Doesn't mean drinking half a bottle of vodka a day will make you a great business leader. Smoking weed won't make you into one either.


Comparing getting high in your free time to drinking half a bottle is so disingenuous, it's actually embarrassing to watch you do this.

That, and you know what, going around calling everyone "kids" because you can't formulate an argument makes you look bad, not the "kids" you're looking down on.

You're so clearly unwilling to even listen on this issue, it was apparent from the get-go.

I'd hate to ever get caught eating a piece of chocolate in front of you. You'd probably slap it out of my hands, call me a fatty and tell me there are healthier ways to make myself happy.


Maybe if you weren't so high when you wrote that reply, it would have actually made sense.

I never called anyone kids?

If you were sitting in front of me, eating a piece of chocolate, telling me how eating that chocolate is going to make you a better business leader ... well, I'd be making fun of you just as much as I'm doing now =)


>Maybe if you weren't so high when you wrote that reply, it would have actually made sense.

Are you kidding me? How petty, childish, immature and snarky can you be about this? What an obvious defense mechanism. (The irony being I'm in the middle of a two month break from using anything as I'm traveling).

I didn't claim it would make me a better business leader. I claimed it wouldn't make me a worse one and you've done nothing to show otherwise but offer a single stupid anecdote to dismiss everyone else.

And yes, you've three times now implied (or explicitly said) that anyone who even smokes pot occasionally needs to grow up. (Imagine the absurdity if I said that about having a beer. And you're already jumping to a million conclusions in your head that you know nothing about). You're a smug person latching to stereotypes. A tough anti-drug guy (proudly) making fun of people for what they do in their spare time. Just like I said: preconceived notions and judgmental condescension. Thanks for confirming all of my suspicions from my very first post in this thread.

All gay people I know have lisps, so they all do; don't you know?


You think he is bad here? Just read his comments. They speak plenty about his character.


LMAO! You created another throwaway account to post this? How insecure are you?!?


This isn't a throwaway...


Why should I use vi? Why wouldn't this decision be similar to what paradigm I choose?


It was a joke. Emacs vs. Vi, FP vs OOP, etc. All members of the set of useless debate topics.


Not everyone uses cannabis to get their "buzz on".


I'll third this.

Best part about pomodoro? How easy it is to begin using it!! You don't need a lengthy book or a long lesson. It is just as simple as using the damn timer.

I don't know why I became lazy and stopped using it. When I tried it for a week I was definitely at a higher bound of productivity for my school work. Totally helped me to gain more time to focus on my own projects. Time to start up again.


Anything you can do to reduce friction could help. I'm going to try this app out today: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=pebble.pomodor....


Sounds scary. You know what sounds beautiful though? The idea of you working your ass off and completing it. That part is on you though :)


I think it's sad that there are so many daily cannabis smokers out there, but it's still not acceptable to openly identify yourself as one because of possible professional/other repercussions.

Also you post looks like link bait with that vape plug.


I came to share the same thought. We need to preserve freedom for the future and set the damn standard for the rest of the world. I don't want my children or theirs to think surveillance like this is acceptable. It's absolutely not.
