jeremy82 | 13 years ago | on: Women Iran To Be Completely Banned From Many University Courses

Living in an islamic regime as a woman may be sometimes difficult: always wearing headscarf, having not many rights in business and marriage, etc... But now the regime seems to begin to "kill the minds". Until now, almost every bad islamic regulation could have been reverted under a different government. But reverting the lack of education is impossible. They are now in the mode of killing the mind and freedom of 50% of their population. Stop this crazy religious shit.

Terrible graphics problems on my i945-Board (using Chrome on Win 7/64bit). I can see the fighter, but almost nothing else.

CUNY or CUNI means asshole in farsi.

I was in mail contact with him and he made clear that I should do "whatever I want" with the uncopyrighted material.

I can recommend the book. I've read it the day it came out. Of course, it's some kind of compilation of the stuff you could already read on Leo's homepage. But anyway: it can't be wrong if you read about the same thing twice.

I love Leos work. Along with Tim Ferris, Randy Gage and George Leonard (wrote the great book "Mastery") he has been one of my most important teachers as an adult.

jeremy82 | 15 years ago | on: Ask HN: Having emotional breakdown

When in school, I wasn't able to speak 2 complete sentences when explaining something, giving presentations was simply a pain. Today, as a lecturer for different business subjects, I am not only used to talk in front of many people, no, I am even applauded for my entertaining kind of talking. And I simply ENJOY it. I never use Powerpoint and most of the time I even don't have any notes with me. How I got there? I got aware of my problem. And then I took every possibility along the way to give presentations and to get better. This helped a lot!

Btw, the success with the girls was a nice side effect. While labeled as a geek when I was in school, I have had very nice and very attractive girlfriends since I started to work on my social skills.

So GO OUT and TRY! It is the same as always: you have to do the thing you want to be more successful in!

Thank you for your answer, I've never heard of it. I'll order it tomorrow. It seems that this could be a good start!

jeremy82 | 15 years ago | on: Ask HN: Do you encrypt your laptop's hard disk?

As a semi-professional nude photographer I have encrypted every hard disk I own, including my laptop's. It's part of my promise to the customers to keep their photos really safe. I am using Ubuntu and LuKs on all my machines because I find it very convenient to have a superb encryption mechanism built in.

As a side note, I do all my picture editing in Gimp. While this is not commom among professional photographers, it contributes in some ways to my landmark style.
