sonnekki··on Poll: Do you know C?
I come from a similar background and chose the third from the top. I can read it, but writing would require more education, also known as, documentation.
sonnekki··on Tron Legacy: how the special effects were done
When I saw that image, the first thing that came to mind was pgrep from the procps package. Using pkill would have crunched it all down to one line. Too bad they didn't use that.

However, I must admit it did look pretty cool as-is.

> ... having the self control to work rather than browsing.

Yes. I use Google Chrome and I use the StayFocusd App thingy as a bit of a crutch ( https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/laankejkbhbdhmipfm... ).

It keeps a timer of flagged sites you browse (HN) and when your time is up, you can't browse ANY flagged sites.

For me, it makes taking 5 to 10 minute breaks fun and valuable. Trying to spread an hour of browsing time across 8-10 hours is a great challenge.

> Who is it good for?

Someone who desires to keep track of a user's key strokes, for example a corporation. This is coming from someone who consents to monitoring every day.

While I agree it is not good for the singular, non-ignorant person, I'm sure there's a massive market for "Corporate Consumers" who'd like to save a buck instead of spending effort configuring a system.

About having the capability of auditing, I suppose it saves production costs to have one laptop with a switch, as opposed to two laptops with slight hardware or software differences.

This is one of those pieces of advice that hits my face so hard with its simplicity and non-obviousness, it makes me want to cry. This is made my Friday, thank you.
