I had a nightmare that I was sitting in a coffee shop trying to be productive (I was reading about a python module called gmpy and looking up things about PIL), but kept having trouble doing it because there were too many people sitting around playing farmville and saturating the link.

Haha, just kidding, that totally happened on saturday.

"Being productive" is a matter of opinion and values. Who's to say they're not developing valuable life skills raising virtual cute animals?
