Well, hence my point about the dogma, which it seems we are in agreement. However, technology as a tool is imperative for pushing our species to the next evolutionary level. However, I know in some of my upper level math courses, a calculator wasn't even needed. If I needed a calculator to do lines upon lines of redundant calculation, I would have died of boredom.
All that being said, I know about twelveteen ways to do long division. sic.
Technology (Internet, computers) have evened out the playing field, so modern girls don't have to suffer from the dogma and can use the tools at hand without artificial barriers.
Cry me a river. I know men in working conditions in rigs up north who have it way worse, and have to contend with -70 degree temperature. Cry cry whine whine, 2 minute showers? Some of those roughnecks don't shower for weeks.
Psh, they wouldn't last 10 seconds in the doghouse. I'm tired of babying our criminals. You do the crime, you do the time.
Of course, but they still meet the requirements stated in the article blurb. And in reference to my post, we're nowhere near being able to support any large number of electric car (robotic or otherwise). The bus (or public transportation) is the next logical step, I think we are all going to have to get used to if we all value our houses in the 'burbs.
I'd link to my own post, but that would just be sassy;)
Because robocars can refuel, park and deliver themselves, and not simply be chauffeurs
Yes, I believe another name is, the bus.
And relax people, I know buses aren't completely oil-independant, however, our infrastructure isn't even close to what is need to support a billion electric cars.
I'm just going to come out and say it, I need off this rock. Please, I'll do just about anything, polish spacecraft, serve coffee (I won't bore you with my educational credentials, they are probably so incredibly inferior).
I owe the "tax man" too much money, I can handle the "paradigm-shift". Please please please, I'm begging you.
People, this is such a non-issue. Are there really places out there that run prod-level systems without battery backup? I bet those sysadmins got their degree from a cereal box.
This suits me just fine. Every couple years or so, the industry gets fat with those who don't really deserve their position, due to a variety of factors (dumb, lucky, know the boss etc)
The first to go will be the fat on the bone, which, as the subject line suggests, suits me just fine.
How about how all ancient cultures successfully passed information without the need of the digital medium or mass-produced biohazard signs.
Word of mouth, passed from generation to generation. Presumably, some of the details might be lost (I doubt it however, we're getting smarter as a people, not dumber), but the main point will be (points with finger) "Over There, Bad".
How about putting those in positions who have earned them, regardless of age, sex or race, instead of mandating a certain ratio. If anything, the mandated ratio will foster more discrimination because of the perceived view that they "didn't earn it".
So I doubt my little comment will get noticed, but people, if you don't agree with how blizzard conducts their business, don't buy their product.
Cancel your wow subscriptions, and never buy another blizzard game ever again. Problem solved, let these companies EULA themselves out of existance, I won't lose a wink of sleep over it.
See, I just can't agree with you. Friend, I think your absentee father and oddball mother certainly disqualify your opinion here. I don't think you've seen a good model of how a successful child-rearing scenario can go. And furthermore, your insultive nature further re-inforcements your own, manic depressive tendencies that again, have no place in this discussion.
I feel I turned out a success, I have a degree (comp sci), a long term gf, I talk with my parents once a week at the latest, my sister, same deal. We're a healthy family, and we hang out with other healthy families. I donate my time every so often to foodbanks and toy drives for kids at christmas, I help clear my elderly neighbours snow off his driveway.
Even to this day, I respect women (partly because my older sister would beat me mercilessly, there is no such thing as the weaker sex) because I can "imagine" my dad standing behind me, hand cocked.
You'd be surprised what a little physical motivation can do to an individual. But I do appreciate your opinion.
Interesting read, and I appreciate the citation. Nowhere in the link, however, it didn't mention anything regarding "spanking" or "physical, re-inforcement" (a term I just made up, may or may not accurately describe my intended means of discipline. Let me start by saying, I love my father, and typically after a spanking or "physical reinforcement" (hyuk) there was no guilt, no shame, no "love withdrawl", no mind games or anything equally immature. And it didn't happen often, but I knew there was a boundary, and I knew what happened when I crossed it.
For example, if I ever, and I mean ever back-talked my mom (there was never any cursing in my household, out at the shop anything went, but never in the house) I knew I was going to get spanked. For me, there was a definite, if-this-then-that relationship.
Furthermore, when I say, "I don't care.". Well I really don't. I don't care about government intervention, I don't care what my friends think, co-workers, I just don't give a damn. For me, all that will matter will be my child. I sometimes think that people over-analyze, read too many books on child-rearing and it clouds natural instincts. For every book you can name that states, "one should not put their children into the corner" I can find on that states the opposite. How does one navigate through the horse manure of uneducated, childless, armchair handbooks?
If my child ever hosted a party that just about destroyed my house, words couldn't describe the beating said child would endure. Plus he or she (no child as of yet) would definitely have to live with the grandparents for awhile.
And don't get all PC on me, I just don't care. My father kept me in line with fear of his hand, and I will do the same with my child.
Drug classification, then its a slippery slope. so fallout3 has stimpaks and jet, how much different is that from magic mushrooms in mario and healthpacks in [insert random fps game]
Its a game, for the love of FSM. And I'm quite sure, bethesda will model the results of drug use accurately; you're stronger, smarter, faster, better looking, and all the chix dig you...
Id software mastered this. I'm not embarrassed to say I download games that interest me, then buy them if they are good.
As I am in the software industry, I know building software from the ground up can be a considerable challenge, especially since the underlying hardware changes so goddamn fast, however, it is possible for good dev houses to build and deliver stable products.
People, you cannot resolve a geographic address from an IP, and you cannot determine who owns an IP (in Canada) because the ISP will not provide this information. (Thank christ)
If you have full access to the machine, I would install a keylogger and get the bastards email password and you could probably deduce who owned it (first name, last name in settings in hotmail, gmail, WHATEVER). You could then cross-reference this in the phone book, or at this time, since you have done some legwork, get the police involved. I would not confront these individuals. And worse comes to worse, wipe the box, make it unusable.

I was about to say the same thing. The company that I am currently employed for has many similar perks. This is not news.
One way with a pencil..
One way with a pen..
One way with a crayon..

I can sum it all up in three words: Evolution is a lie
Dear sir, I thank you for this gem.
This suits me just fine. Every couple years or so, the industry gets fat with those who don't really deserve their position, due to a variety of factors (dumb, lucky, know the boss etc)

I'd have to agree, as Alberta seems to be merging into "Little USA" mentality as of late.
Time to drive from Dallas to Calgary - 2 days
Time to negotiate border crossing - 7 days
Its our national healthcare system.
How about putting those in positions who have earned them, regardless of age, sex or race, instead of mandating a certain ratio. If anything, the mandated ratio will foster more discrimination because of the perceived view that they "didn't earn it".

Did you honestly think writing your senator would have made a lick of difference? Seriously?
Empirical evidence suggests strongly that the american politicians do what they want, when they want.
Sorry kids, but you're going to have to march, or light something on fire to make a change now, and I'd hurry, before they make that illegal.
