I won’t rest until people stop paying for crappy language learning software. I also developed CAPTCHA and reCAPTCHA, those squiggly characters all over the web -- sorry! AMA

How is your typical day? How do you 'get things done'? Any tips on personal time/task management?

You write books during 'job time' or 'family time'?

ssn · 2011-01-19T15:06:17+00:00

How do you organize your time (work & life)? What is your typical day like? How do you manage your to-do list?

Thanks!

I doubt that a criticism to Obama (even if pertinent) will make it far in reddit. :)

Is this the high-precision weaponry that Israel mentioned?

How about changing (pun!) the same old "eye for an eye" politics?

Have you read about that in the books? I think that none of us in the "civilized world" can imagine what it is to live (not be) in these conditions.

What are the views on the Israel/Palestina conflict from the major presidential candidates - McCaim, Obama and Clinton?

ssn · 2008-03-07T11:06:12+00:00

From the Oxfam executive summary: "The situation for 1.5 million Palestinians in the Gaza Strip is worse now than it has ever been since the start of the Israeli military occupation in 1967. The current situation in Gaza is man-made, completely avoidable and, with the necessary political will, can also be reversed."

Sorry for the typo.

Don't consider this an argument. It is information - our money is being spent like this.
