    You just have not found a way to get paid to do these things.
    It is called Welfare, and many people have found it to be most effective at allowing them to be lazing around, drinking and generally enjoying them self.

    The Joker said it best. If you are good at something, never do it for free.

  14. Re:Wow on Using Crowdsourcing To Identify Vancouver Rioters · · Score: 1

    Then why were there no riots for Game 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6?
    The giant TVs were there for every game. I know, I walked past one every game day on my way home from work.
    As a Vancouver resident I for one fully support putting the TVs up so the entire community could enjoy the games. I also commend the professionalism and restraint shown by the Vancouver Police.

  15. Re:Wow on Using Crowdsourcing To Identify Vancouver Rioters · · Score: 1

    I live in Vancouver.
    Don't try to lump us in with US cities. Vancouver is the best place in the world to live. I can safely walk down any street in the city at any time of the day or night.
    The riot, (I watched it on TV at it got closer and closer to my work.) was the work of a core group of 20 to 25 people who were there just to cause trouble. The rest of the people were just watching and taking pictures on their phones. I am sure many more people joined in, kicking a burning car, of grabbing something from a store once it was smashed open, but without that core group there would never have been any trouble to begin with.
    Something that has not been reported much is that the People of Vancouver came out in droves to volunteer to clean up the aftermath of the riot.

  18. Re:Not limited to IT on How To Succeed In IT Without Really Trying · · Score: 1

    The professions (law and medicine) protect themselves and make sure their education is valued by stopping others from entering their field or doing their tasks.

    So you are advocating an organization of IT professionals, to keep the idiots out. I find this approach appealing.

    Really?? I found it unusable. Too many websites that would just not render at all. Not to even mention that stupid graphic hardware accelerator. That feature either needs to detect your hardware, or not turn on my default.
