  2. NICE POST! on IT and Divorce? · · Score: 1

    NICE POST!

    Obligatory "If I had mod points..."
    Two very good points.

    My old CS program made us take a few comunications classes so that we could be successful when dealing with people as well as computers. (it was more of a relationship course though... 8')

    Secondly Corelation is != to cause.

    person 1 plays ut

    person 2 plays quake

    Person 2 shot up a highschool

    Therefore that means that person who plays quake shoots highschools.

    I think not.

  3. Love, and marraige. on IT and Divorce? · · Score: 1

    Is there nothing you can do to salvage your marraige?

    Divorce is so common, in part because it is so easy, in part because people don't want to take responsibility for their actions, and also because marraige is work and our society has become a little bit lazy. Interestingly enough, Women file 2x as much as men do.
        That doesn't mean it's their fault though. That could be because men cause most of the problems I don't know the basis of this statistic.

    Still though, the reality is you can't blame it on anything other than you and her.

    I found when I went through mine, that it was an introspective experience. I was heartbroken, but I was also awakened. I saw that I was basically sabotaging my marraige because I wasn't happy with it. I escaped into WoW, I spent any moment I could with anyone other than my exwife (I didn't cheat on her though). My real problem was that I didn't want to confront her on what she did to piss me off. I just let it build. When she left it was a great eye opener, and I tried valiantly to get her to give me one more shot but she wouldn't have it.

    A few months later, After I was reborn in a psychological sort of way, I realized I never would have been happy with it anyway. Just as I realized that, she knocked on the door, but I wasn't there anymore. Since then, my wages have doubled, my vehicles are paid for, and I am debt free. I was fortunate in that I haven't had any children yet. I started to date again, and low and behold I found someone with visions that alligned with mine.

    Simply put, divorce isn't about what you do 9-5, it's about what you do when you are off. Ask yourself "did you put her at the top of your list?" (most religions order it 1. God, 2. spouse, etc...)
    Were you doing a fair share of the work? Marraige is work, no matter what the fairytale says.
    (this is where I was very unhappy)

    I wish you the best of luck, I know it was the hardest thing that I have ever gone through.
    Spend time with family as often as you can, and just try and be a better person in general.

    My GF is a paralegal, and your comment forgets one thing that is now very common place.

    Legislative INTENT
    w/ regards to


    While it's been a while since I last read the Constitution, their meaning of free speech was with regards to criticism of the government; that's to say, you're Constitutionally guaranteed to be able to speak of your hatred of the country's leaders without fear of legal action being taken against you.

    Well, it's been about five minutes since I last read it, and you are wrong.There are no caveats, limitations, etc. It says congress shall make no law. That's it. Nothing else. No "except whens", no "other thans", no "only in the case ofs", etc. No law. Until or unless this is changed, using the only procedures allowed to change it, that's the only legitimate position for the government. No law.


    Granted this was long after the constitution, but the intent of the laws are as important as the laws themselves. The laws are not designed to protect exploiters, but to protect the inocent.

    Libel: The true limitations on speech regarding libel & slander are legit as far as I am concerned.
                  A false and malicious publication printed for the purpose of defaming a living person.
                  Print slanderous statements against; "The newspaper was accused of libeling him."

    As a prior victim of blatent libel, I stand firm on this belief. Say whatever you want as an opinion sure, but the second you state fiction as fact, start to look over your shoulder more often.

    Uh yeah, you are totally right.

    The world has moved forward. Information is coming to us in a new way. We need to embrace it or risk becoming inferior to those that do. When we are "Jacked In" ^TM to a network that uses our mind instead of a monitor / keyboard we will have the same arguement. The only diferance is that the InterWeb has been around for a very long time, and is now considered like a utility bill. It's something you don't want to live without, but could.

    Imagine living without electricity. Back in my day if you wanted water, you had to grab a pail, and fetch it your self from the river 2 miles across the valley making it up hill BOTH ways!

    While there may be a few small comunities in developed nations who still do this, and while no doubt we could live like that... Who would want to?

    Seriously... Don't take "The Net" for granted, it's no casual thing.

    You have good friends. While even if you won, it wouldn't have been worth the costs. Time is money, and even if you work for Burger King your free time is worth a lot. The banks lawyers can and would do anything to make sure that if your wasting their time, they are going to waste you financially.

    You probably wouldn't have won though, because their was a federal law passed (patriot act?) requiring banks to have verified the identification for every account created. (I don't know if it was retro active or not..)
    So as to be able to track "terrorist transactions."

    What you should have done instead was originally claimed you're old address as current, and then filed a mail forward, or simply gone to DOL and had your ID updated.

    I am sorry the system works that way. It really doesn't give you enough time, and it's easy to get distracted when you have so much going on, like moving, starting a new job, setting up your home network so you can play wow before you get your laundry machines working etc....

    If you have access to it, its pirateable, reverse engineerable, and entirely copyable.
