I've seen a thread on reddit, featuring an image of a half-naked girl covered in nitrous bulbs — completely wasted. From reading the comments, it seems nitrous is/was really popular with high school kids. The way the kid in the picture looked, though, I wouldn't recommend that.

I doubt it'd be fun to do without friends. And to be honest, I've got other means of finding enjoyment with friends, but to each their own, I suppose.

    feature requests are good signs! once you've crossed the threshold to feature requests from bug reports you know you're doing well! :D

As an aspiring developer, I'll certainly keep this in mind!

I still leave comments on things that are a week old or whatnot — if I have something of value to say, I suppose it won't matter how old the post is. If someone would happen to stumble upon a post, my comment would still be there. You never know, right?

What use would you get out of tags that way, save for statistical information?

I was under the impression that tags are another way to get to content, akin to subscribing to people.

There was a similar event last year in the Netherlands, called Project X Haren (Google Translate link).

A girl left an invitation open on Facebook. 250.000 people invited each other, and 30.000 people said they'd come. Eventually the visitors, mostly soccer hooligans, destroyed everything in the small town's center, and special forces had to control the visitors. If you'd look at the imagery on the news and on the web — it looked awful, almost, but not quite like a war.

I seriously can't comprehend people like that.

Like the others, congratulations! I'm still working on my Bachelor's, a couple years to go still – nearly halfway. I truly hope I won't regret my choice of study, which is Computer Sciences... Ah well. I won't know until I'm done :-)

I hope you'll get good use out of your degree!
