None of what you've said has anything to do with what he was saying, though.
I replied to you, not GNUALMAFUERTE. Unless you failed to log in as another name or post anonymously and are trying to discredit me. Either way, you fail. I win. My testicles hang lower than yours do.
Most of modern science is the result of hundreds of years of research by people who were religious to some extent.
Yes, because people had less of an understanding back in the day of how stuff actually works. Being religious was also compulsory in those days. Bach, one of my favorite composers, glorified god in his music while he was fooling around with maidens in wine cellars and beating up his musicians in street fights.
Anyway, back to your point. Religion is stifling "modern science" rather than advancing it forward. We all know what happened to Persia after Islam, and about Europe in the dark ages, etc. I think it's safe to say that the world as a whole would be much more advanced if magical thinking was abolished somewhere in its history.
My ex's father runs a multimillion business of manually collecting the feces of livestock and refining it into fertilizer. It works beautifully - raw materials are readily avalable for low or no cost, and much of the business is in the local agriculture community.
The bible, Talmud, and Quran are vile, savage, worthless, self-contradictory rags best suited for use as toilet paper or as lining for a hamster cage.
And the people who believe what's in 'em should be rounded up and euthanized. It never ceases to amaze me how the followers are arrogant enough to believe that they are better than the other animals, even as all of thier laws revolve around breeding.
You're gonna grow up to be one of those skanks who reaches up her skirt to slather deodorant between your legs before you rub it on your underarms and hit the clubs, to be laid later by a dirty Mexican or perhaps a Guatamalan.
That is what we computer science geeks call the "bottom-up" approach.
Haw. If you're gonna rob a bank or burglarize a home, why not do it in style?
Envision a crook trying to scream at the clerk to empty out the register while pausing to say, "Hold up, I gotta take this call..." Or instructing his getaway driver, "Turn left here....um, right here...oh, Mike just broke up with Jen...turn left here, exit 95..."
what are you smoking? there's a damn good reason you don't have people with a bachelor's degree doing surgery! (nurses make $25-$30/hour) there are so many things that can go wrong, so many complications, so many drug interactions and allergies...
Uh, what are you smoking? Do you actually know people who work in the healthcare industry? Because from what my friends tell me, it's the nurses and techs that catch the careless mistakes made by the doctors!
Don't attribute to malice what can be explained by incompetence. When Iraq's borders were being drawn, its oil reserves were not a concern (1920s-1930s). They were pretty much unknown, compared to what we know today.
It's high time we redraw them to ensure continued instability.
All we had to to is take out Saddam...let them redraw the lines themselves. They're too busy durka-durka-ing and blowing shit up to notice the profiteering we're doing there.
Multitasking is not an inherent feature of tablets. More than any other PC form factor, tablets seem to be designed for single tasks.
It should be. That line you spouted above is just rationalizing Apple's fucking-up of a potentially good idea. Instead of revolutionizing and making accesable more compact computing, they just churned out a glorified locked-down iPhone without the actual phone part. Playing with them has been a colossal disappointment.
Instead of porting ios to the ipad, they could have ported the functionality of OSX to the iPad and designed in that extra millimeter of thickness to accomodate the extra power.
500 American dollars for the base model? No way, it's worth $200 tops.
Surveillance is fine if theres World War 3 or a Cold War
These unprecendented levels of surveillance are never acceptable. Yeah, we win a war on terror by being afraid of everything? We won the Cold War by declaring the War on Drugs(tm) while engaging in the Iran-Contra affair?
All words which come from the American mainstream media or its congress should be cause for mass-lynchings on Capitol Hill.
Listen up, congressmen. There are going to be a lot of pissed-off vets coming back from those wars. And they, along with the rest of the American populace, will fuck you up.
I keep a couple of fuckbuddies. Homely girls, but nice and willing to make me food and give me sex anytime I want. I treat them with absolute respectful honesty and do their dishes if they let me stay the night.
Other bitches treat me with respect because they know that I'm not going to pander to them or jump through hoops to get at that 'nanny. Why should I dance like a monkey for their amusement? The question is, what will those bitches do to amuse me?
Who wants to hear about reality TV or their puerile Brazilian fetish? I want nerdy, dorky, and insane. Like the chick, with the autographed photo of herself with Wil Wheaton, who blew my dick in one of the third-floor study booths in Cal State Northridge's Oviatt Library(which, interestingly enough, was featured in the recent Star Trek remake) and tried to solicit a midget for a threesome with us.
Ladies of Slashdot: if you're not willing to blow in a public library or paint with your menstrual blood, you are boooooring. You can change that, though, by crowbaring your asses off of the bon-bons and Real Housewives and really living a little. And no, a pair of "ironic" glasses and a t-shirt from Hot Topic dosen't automagically make you interesting. Why do the majority of you lack a sense of adventure?
I agree with you, but it makes sense that the later-generation consoles would be more easily blamed as more and more parents became afraid to let their kids play outside unsupervised and decided it was okay to pass increasing amounts of parenting onto the systems. As somebody below you pointed out, the XBoxes should also share the blame.
Why pay for porn and/or store it locally when the internet and its streaming-flash sites like Redtube, Pornotube, and even the vile borderline-legal Motherless are readily available*?
in a rather cruel twist i'm finding that to progress my own career, i now have to go back to school and get the same piece of worthless paper that all those clueless graduates had,
I'm doing the same thing. Jump through hoops, Fido, jump! Hey, look at the bright side (if you're an American). We'll be the only ones with degrees and jobs!
Get it? Because there are no jobs for new grads, and experience trumps a piece of paper certifying 4 years of partying and frat-boy douchebaggery.
Slashdot Mirror
All the comments as of this time have ignored the obvious: Facebook, iPhones and whatnot.
Technology satisfies emotional needs as well as physical ones. Humans require both.

Compartmentalize, crooks. Compartmentalize.

Google's particle lightshow caused noticable lag on my laptop. That's needless and unacceptable. We know what bloat did to Firefox.
And it's actually pretty cool too
No, it's not. I just want to search for something, not drop acid and watch the electric light orchestra.

All I need is a roof, a vehicle, a food supply, and the opportunity to surf every weekend.
Happiness is far more inexpensive than $75K.
Because I sued 'em for copyright infringement.
THC, the Tinfoil Hat Crew, is the name of my music project painstakingly developed in 2005 with copious amounts of gin and chronic masturbation.
p.s. freelance trolls are alive and well.
New engines are required for 3D rasters. No way in hell half-ass grafts gon' do the trick.

Yep. That's why I recommend 10.04 to my friends and run 9.10 myself.
Guinea pigs, you see. HeheheehHAHAHAHAHAH!

(Oh, shit, did I just reply to a foe?)
But once you do remove them, they leave pristine spots underneath that make the rest of your old laptop look dingy by comparison.
The simplistic color scheme, while convenient, suggests preschool.
We're manly men(who blow aliens to bits and save the universe), not thumbsucking infantiles pulling on our See-N-Says.
HA! At least it wasn't the infamous baby fuck.
It's Awwwwwright! Jumpin' jack flash, it's a gas gas gas!
