We all get a little irrational when people discuss things we are passionate about and there tends to be collateral damage. My office has been practically electrified and on edge all day (co-workers) and I keep expecting fights to break out. It's rather funny, because since I am not all riled up, they think something is wrong with me, not them.
I worked at GEICO for several years in their claims dept, ity was pretty much as Easty described his environment, and we were a revolving door too. I figured out it had a lot more to do with being treated as a disposable peon, with rediculous demands put on your time and efforts and a lot of accompanying stress. than anything else. That job drove more people to drink or abuse drugs than any other job I have ever seen.
I can't tell if this is a joke or not, but people all over the world are laughing at the notion of Obama being a socialist. As in the 90s, at least we can rejoice over the lesser of two evils winning
Sigh, I checked, but Cthulhu was not on my ballot.
Actually, we may have just elected the 3rd incarnation of the antichrist. (first 2 being Napoleon and Hitler) That is of course if Maitreya is not the antichrist.
It all depends on if we are the new Babylon or if Iraq is the new incarnation of Babylon. According to most conjecture on the timeline of this subject, we should know by fall of next year if Obama is the latest incarnation of the antichrist. Lets see if he ends up with control of the world.
Or to put it in other words: unoptimized code would gain from i7 more than highly optimized code, since in former case CPU would have more opportunities to optimize memory accesses on its own and better fill up the data bus.
I see!! You mean Vista might actually run well on this processor??!!
Imagine if I put on my resume 'i got beat up lots as a kid' when applying for a programming job. They'd have no idea why I included it as it is NOT RELEVANT.
It could explain why YOU sound bitter and resentful. If the employer has any insight into your social ostracism and the way it affected your adult life, they would see that your continuation of a lack of social life leaves you TONS of extra time for projects! see, a positive outcome!! Say, you don't happen to have 8 years experience in JAVA and live in the DC area do you? I might have a job for someone with your um... lifestyle.
So, instead of using rational thought and evidence to decide what theory is correct, you're going to use your "gut" feeling to make the determination? Sounds a little like what the relgionists, that you're so quick to deride, like to do.
The 100 trillion life forms that reside in my gut have faith in my ability to provide for them, why should I not listen to their prayers?
Since we are discussing hypothetical time frames here, should we factor in the effect of gravity? From what I understand, the higher the gravity, the slower the passage of time (IANAAP). So it seems to me that closer to the galaxy cores, civilizations could take MUCH longer to develope in relation to us.
Um, no. He might go "Roman" on their asses, but it will probably be a new testament hand slap:
"oh, come on you big thillies, you knooow thatth bad!"
What ever happened to the pillar of salt justice or city leveling anger of the old testament god? Not being a follower, but having read the bible, I always wondered why, despite being referred to as male, "God" got emasculated in the new testament.
You are forgetting the benefits of instant login machines. Instant on and instant login saves 5-15 minutes per day of user time. GEICO used to insist that their employees were logged in and ready to take calls when their shifts started. This got them a class-action lawsuit over the non-paid work and overtime accrued by their phone reps. (are your company's practices as unfair?)
I have these in green and got a pink pair for my wife. I love them. Cost about $8 each. Exceptional bass. I listen to electonic and industrial music and have a hard time finding headphones that sound good with it (and no it is not a limitation inherant to the music itself.) These sound so good that I would gladly sport the hot-pink pair in public to not have to return to the crappy OEM headphones that come with most MP3 players.
I've had it. It gives me a hangover like crazy, even after only a small amount. It's something that straight up Jim Beam or Knob Creek never does to me.
I wonder if the port barrels are the reason. I can't drink port, or many red wines without the same effect.
Ivan, it might be the sulfites used to preserve the wine. Do you get migranes too? Ever had a "sulfa" drug, like bactrum? It might prove useful for you to look into sulfite allergies and talk to a doctor about it. These allergies run in my family. I am alergic to certain sulfites and sulfates, but the women in my family are also allergic to nitrites, nitrates, and phosphates.
I make my own wines and beers (especially MEADE) and I have to refrain from sulfiting them or no-one in my family can drink them without getting migranes.

You could have just done a write in.
The voting machine did not like the squigley lines.
Thank you for the apology!

Does 'missing_dc' refer to you having skipped a few sessions of electroconvulsive therapy?
Cute, but no, it is a reference to Washington DC.

It's called Neural Linguistic Programming.
Very effective in the right hands (I have gotten jobs through using it.)

More than 500 different species of bacteria exist in our bodies, making up more than 100 trillion cells.

Funny, my first thought was:
"Is this any relation to Reagan asking the UN if (interplanetary) aliens might already be among us?"
It might, if police forces start hiring based on testicle size.
It would take 20lb balls to deliberately mess with these guys.
Oh shit, really,,,, thats all it takes?
I bet with the lack of (real)sex, most slashdotters have balls that meet or exceed that benchmark!
If he wants some real piracy... ... print the book in China, then transport it by sea and lounge around in international waters.
But in his case he would be labeling the boxes (and the side of the ship):
"Rocket Launchers
and Tank Parts,
Please Steal"

well, it sure makes my brain bigger!
So they degaussed his head?
Crap, does that mean I am going to have to pay more for a degausser now?
* I await the inevitable, "we were first" replies from the old-worlders;)
Too bad you posted AC, I hear the "old-worlders" have pretty strict moral codes preventing them from responding to you.
But is it even fair to compare Youtube and Yahoo?
Well, they both start with "Y" and contain the same vowel sound...
If dildo's and vibrators aren't cheating neither is a bot.
Really?
Explain to your wife why you just purchased a "LiveDoll"!!
(and how it does things for you that she does not)
Only if they're Totally Skitz, Dude!
There are options for far less than $50 that have reasonable sound quality and good isolation.
For instance, if you peel the paper filter off, http://www.amazon.com/JVC-HAFX33A-Marshmallow-Stereo-Headphones/dp/B000IS1ZYY is quite good for under $10 shipped.
