We have to understand that we are free to choose. Does our will depend only on reviews? Do we have to buy everything an infomercial announces? NO!! This means that we have to be better agents of ourselves. I guess the time has come to review the reviewers. Now every time I read an article on CNet or ZDNet, or the Internet, I will have to look at their facts. Find out if their opinion is valid. I can choose to accept or reject their review. Who says that we can't send an email to the author and tell him that he is being biased. Instead of throwing blows in the air, let us choose for ourselves what we accept as truth. humbly,
I always use that line on first dates, if they laugh they are mine. If they don't they are not worth the effort. Chicks need to like the Simpsons if they wan't to hang out with me.
Right on!!! You are right, we need to get over ourselves. But when I think of my own life I have gotten use to being treated as the smart guy in class. When people have a question they come to me, it just happens. But all of this does not mean that I can solve the world's problems. I can't even solve some of my problems. This school year I have gotten in contanct with a lot of bright minds, many of them are CS oriented. I'm incharge of a freshman floor in the residence Halls. They are really smart, but I would be scared if the country was run by them. The thing is that they simply don't care about the problems of the world. They give a flip about hunger, or violence in third world countries. They only care of being the first to get 1 Ghz processors. They care about getting email, having friends online and playing StarCraft. Why would I vote for someone that only has friends online, who's idea of a good time is finding free software on the net. I'm not saying that all cs people are social regects or evil. For example, me, I consider my self a good man. I'm religious, I try to do good in this world but it takes more than that lead a country. It takes charater to be a leader and many cs people lack charater. Being smart doesn't always mean being wise. I love my career, but we are not any better that anyone else. I hope I made sense in that I totally agree with the comment posted. Changos
