I totally agree with this- I think Innarwebs is not the place for this theory to be tested. Believe it or not, I've had a similar idea for some time now, but I am not in academia, so it'd be tough for me to work it out. I think they could some up with something if they moved the idea elsewhere in computing.
Spoken well, and I am really surprised to see something like this on/. I agree totally, except the DMT part. I've smoked it a bunch of times, real deal, pure white (not orange). It's more like traveling to alternate dimensions, forgetting you exist, and just seeing really, *really* crazy stuff. I can't see how it would lead to the realizations of self/universe that LSD can potentially lead to. In part because you have no time to reflect on what's happening on DMT. If you're smoking it right and it's good, by the time you exhale, the room already looks funny, the smoke is already transforming into clowns/dinosaurs/geometric shapes, and by 10-30 seconds later all of a sudden you're in ancient babylonia, in the future , wondering what the gigantic cat god in front of you is trying to say with her mind.
A friend of mine also had a very bad experience on it because of someone saying the wrong thing when she started to enter her trip. She had a panic attack, and felt uncomfortable in the room where it happened from that day forth.
With LSD it's like it comes on, your mind races a lot, and you have time to take it all in (or try to).
How is he a complete whackjob for claiming that hallucinogens (I believe it was LSD in his case) led him to the discovery? Alien abduction stories are wackjob material, but if you've ever experienced a hallucinogen, you'd know why this isn't too implausible.
There is nothing to dislike about Red Hat. These FOSSies are just bitter that a company learned how to turn OSS into a profitable business. The only reason half these fools are sweating Shuttleworth is because he hasn't made it big with Ubuntu yet, so his distro is still 'cool.' I hate that steaming pile of crap, but then again I have been using Unix since I was 13.
Little do most people know, Red Hat has the key Fedora developers on Payroll, and tons of kernel hackers. Just one kernel hacker at Red Hat is likely to have hundreds of commits to kernel code. If you don't like their distro because they are not old school Unix, I can see that. But saying they suck yadda yadda with no substance, or complaining about a problem that is in older versions, is asinine. These days, I wouldn't even bother touching anything but RHEL (if on x86).
I'll probably get marked Troll for this, cause I am not hot in the pants for Marky Mark, and actually sticking up for a good company with a great product, but whatever.
Just the other day I saw the one about Red Hat users owing him money, and it really pissed me off. Now it seems like he's advocating this piss-poor development idea that bloat is OK. "Systems are getting faster and faster, you don't need to write non-shitty code" is basically what he's saying. This type of mentality really pisses me off.
No kidding, this type of shit should be on its own infrastructure. The whole thing should be mapped so that there is no point at which things can be routed to a public network.

I think you're trolling, or you live in the woods in Alaska. No way that someone with years of experience couldn't land a job in the computer field. If I can get job offer after job offer by just sitting on my ass after I post my resume on two sites, then you need to work on your resume skills, or your social skills. One of them is srsly out of tune.
LMFAO, you bleeding heart piece of shit- someone who goes out and robs someone at gunpoint is not "down on their luck." They are a 'scumbag.' You think we should start expecting people who are "down on their luck" or "need a few hundred bucks" will be robbing people at gunpoint? They will get a place to sleep, and a place to eat, also a place to fashion a shank and maybe hide a few things in their ass. If you're not trolling, you truly are the dumbest bleeding heart I have ever seen on/.
You can then proceed to the next interview. If every single job you apply for ends at HR, then you really need to take a look at yourself and ask why everybody thinks you suck.

lol... Good one, I just felt like people shouldn't count that towards their impression of him. So I pointed it out...

If I only could +1 for the choice of music...
Ahh those are in the desktop section. I was looking at the workstations.
Just found the cheapest Xeon on there, 1400 bucks, and they're not quad cores from the looks of it.
Do you mean core 2 duo? The cheapest Precisions come with Duos, can't even find a workstation with Xeons after a quick glance.
It's called "Marketing," and every business does it.

RHEL now uses yum FYI.
You can't buy Fedora, you'd buy RHEL. Red Hat has tons of stuff to sell.

Well, sounds like you took a look at yourself, and did what a smart person would do: adapt to the situation.
You can then proceed to the next interview. If every single job you apply for ends at HR, then you really need to take a look at yourself and ask why everybody thinks you suck.
