  1. Re:Options? on A Day In the Life of a "Booth Babe" · · Score: 1

    I find myself fixed with a malaise that I cannot shake from time to time. It manifests as a lack of confidence and general negative thoughts, and "shaking it" is ....well, very difficult--I'm a fairly healthy and positive person 99% of the time. I have found that it usually doesn't survive a harsh workout at the gym, and many have such moods set in because of caffeine/alcohol withdraw or a lack of vitamins. You do not necessarily need professional help unless you can't shake it for weeks, and even then, a lot of those people just need a bit of lithium.

  4. Re:Science VS religion. on Taking Issue With Claims That American Science Education is 'Dismal' · · Score: 1

    You see, scientists should be willing to entertain any idea and be willing to at least conduct thought experiments with these ideas. I have seen forums where "scientists" descend into ad hominem attacks that grow to proportions that make a slashdot flamewar look like pillow talk just because someone was willing to entertain a crazy idea. Modern established academic science for the most part reminds me of a cult ruled by priests who are the default authorities on a given subject. It is no wonder the public don't know what science is. The definition of the word has been destroyed.

    Opera is a great browser. I somehow picked up some malware under XP through javascript recently on Opera. Surprised, as this should not have been able to happen. I use Opera as my my safe browser for privacy with Javascript disabled now. I can't stand working on a machine without at least three browsers.

    No, everything is done through search. Domain names are not as important as they used to be. It is about status and credibility anymore. Consumers are not going to navigate to the .tickets tld to find tickets for christ's sake, they are going to pop open google and fucking type "tickets."

  8. Re:Nonsense! on Students Looking For Easy A Target Online Courses, Where Cheating Is Easier · · Score: 1

    True. I'm reading "The Power Broker" right now and the author meticulously details Robert Moses' education: Yale, some other University, and then the oh so majestic Oxford where the elite are trained to run governments. When Moses was "done" with his elaborate education spanning many years, on top of his voracious reading habits (he kinda chose books over bootie), he was utterly unprepared for the job for which he trained at the most prestigious schools in America and England. He got fucking owned by cigar smoking, simple minded, barely highschool-educated New York politicians (Irish politics of very early 1900s). It wasn't until he got a lucky break (due to his schooling!), and on-the-job training from a master politician (who also happened to be a woman) that he barely salvaged his career.

    Ah ha funny story. In my engineering classes cheating has become so rampant that everyone has lost all inhibition. The two behind me area always chatting...."no dude that is 100nF, what do you got for..." Some others have copied the book pages and they just open them up (we're allowed to use our WRITTEN notes). Total chaos. The instructor, who has a hearing aid, doesn't seem to hear or at all detect the unhidden attempts at collaboration. I don't know if it does much good though. During one test someone stopped by my desk/table (at the front of the fucking room) and started giving me advice on one of the test questions. I picked up a notebook, swung my arm in a great arc and smashed the shit out of him with it while muttering "get lost." I don't think any of this can really be happening in an online class. Oh yeah, and the guy with the friendly advice; he got a 67% and I got a 93%.

    the men have to take the emotional risk to make their desires known.

    The problem here is raising men who are afraid to be rejected by women or girls. When you are confident and cavalier about rejection you have a lot better time with the ladies.

  19. Re:That'll go well. on Obama To Agencies: Optimize Web Content For Mobile · · Score: 0

    Dumbest comment ever.....not worthy of slashdot. Erase. the boo-hooing over poor Obama having to deal with big-bad Bush's ineptitude is supremely fucking worn out. In my book he is the CEO. If he doesn't get the turn around going and fix the fucking problems then it is adios perdador. Funny how we allow ourselves to be distracted by the meaningless details like gender, race, and party. Would you defend a CEO of a company you owned stock in by saying, "well...he inherited the problems of the last loser CEO we hired, so lets give him a few more years to see how it pans out." Truth is, Obama hasn't said one fucking word to us, the people, since he entered office. Monumental disappointment.

    I hate it when people tell me what a politician "wants to" do. You don't know what he really wants. All you can comment on is the action and behavior, don't spout-on about his intentions.
