    In other news, students can't think. Oh my oh my, why would that be? Even though we have games that are about spatial reasoning and physics and therefore "all about science"???

    The pie, you fucking ate it -- that's all the physics there is. This is like Microsoft generously giving away their stuff to schools. Fuck that, kick them in the nuts.

  4. Re:Food Pairing not really a problem... on Debate Simmers Over Science of Food Pairing · · Score: 1

    The way I see it, of you're hungry, you need something, nutrients, calories, whatever. So eat that, and slow enough because blood sugar takes a while to rise... but if you drink while doing that, you think you're done eating, when you're actually not, if you know what I mean?

    Dunno, I should have worded it differently, it's not an authoritative medical thing. But when I was little, when I eat over at the neighbours, they didn't drank at all while eating, and the lady was actually offended by the idea (because for me it was normal to drink while eating). I always thought that silly, but later on I kinda started to enjoy, say, eating spicy food *without* washing it down all the time, it was like a whole new world for me ^^

    I know. But that's kinda the reason I don't like doing it... but then again overeating isn't my problem, I eat when I'm hungry and stop when I'm not, so if I drink while eating, I kinda eat too little. I also don't crave that "full" feeling at all.. "not empty" is fine IMHO... and being slightly full can make your tummy sing! But FULL to me sounds like like "bleugh, I need to lie down".

    Same. I'm now eating an apple with potato chips as a tribute or something :) And it tastes much better than I expected, too.

    Oh. I'm the exact opposite.

    Not drinking (anything, I don't mean alcohol) while eating is the smart thing to do though... be glad it's not a habit you have to drop :) Maybe just slip a bottle under the table while nobody is looking, then notice it after the meal is over? ^^

    That would be cool if you could eat a good food with a bad food and the good food would cover for the bad food when it got to your stomach. Like you could eat a carrot with an onion ring and they would travel down to your stomach, then they would get there, and the carrot would say, "It's cool, he's with me."

  22. Re:if they care about it so much on Microsoft Wins Congressional Backing For Do-Not-Track Default In IE10 · · Score: 1

    "a better chance than zero" doesn't mean much.

    Make it illegal to track people against their consent, put the onus of proving that consent on those doing the tracking, and then do stings and actually put people behind bars. That would still not "solve the problem", but it would be more than a joke.

    But oh wait, that's not possible, it would involve too many 3 letter agencies. So instead, have some stuff that doesn't matter at all, and argue about it. Go to court over it, fight the good fight, la-di-blah.

    It's fine: http://diasporaproject.org/

    There's also Friendica, which is cross-network (you can even add diaspora users to it) and contrary to diaspora will run on quite a few shared hosts: http://friendica.com/ Though public pods aren't easy to come by... care to run one? :D It may not be the fastest or the prettiest, but that's why I post the link on slashdot, and not on grandma's wall ^^ I also LOVE the tagline. "The internet is our social network." That's the spirit, and something to build on.

    Also, this is a few days old and nothing is on it yet, but I'll certainly watch it: http://socialswarm.net/ We don't need more networks, we need protocols and microformats! Most of this stuff goes completely over my head, but I hope in a few years there will be tutorials for noobs, so that even I can make my own CMS interact with social networks... IMHO, apathy and resignation just isn't on. We all have text editors, so there are no excuses. Run a little node, federate some love, get down tonight.

    Blame? really? Last time I checked, people have a free choice as to what field they want to work/study in. If women choose not to do CS then its entirely their choice. No one is to blame.

    Spoken like the ignorant white middle class male you most likely are. Last time you checked? That would be never, you're not paying any fucking attention.

    I don't see any corresponding massive outcry about how to get more men in those fields.

    Because those are for the most part low-status, low-paying servant style jobs. You actually post that and think you're pointing out something clever? HOLY FUCKING SHIT. You just killed your own argument; unless of course you meant to say women generally enjoy being slaves.

    Why the fuck am I even talking to you. Bah. *shudders*
