And the ones closest to 39 actually knew they were at the hospital... Meaning those furthest away from 39 didn't know where they were. Hmmm. That actually sounds about right.

We get exactly what we need right? You may not enjoy social networking sites but what if someone used slashdot in a crime? Or wikileaks? Seriously is that the presendent you want set?
We should replace it with nothing. Just eliminate it. It would simplify life at no cost.
While I agree it should be replaced it wouldn't be at no cost. 4 years ago I got tired of being late after the time switch so I bought a clock that got the time over the radio. Great right? Till two years ago when the idiots in Congress said lets change it by two weeks for no reason whatsoever. Then I had a clock that was wrong 4 times a year instead of two, because I forgot on the new date to change timezones and then it auto changed two weeks later. I had to buy a new clock after two years of that. I can't imagine how much software out there has all the daylight savings switches in the source. Even if it is just a patch someone has to update all the machines not connected to the rest of the world.
I can almost feel the heads of slashdotters exploding as they are simultaneously pulled by their intense love of OSS and their intense hatred of DRM. This is just someone's cruel plot to kill all the geeks isn't it?
Why not? I don't think a for-profit company is ever going to get far from compete mode. I wouldn't expect Apple or Palm or Redhat for that matter to play well with others if it wasn't an advantage either.
This coupled with his salary tends to make me think his job market is similar to the one when I first got out of school. Employers are looking for ways to make the employees feel their below average salaries are really average salaries. I applied several times for an entry level job that sat open on a particular company's website for a year and a half, I had been doing everything in the req except for ADA academically for years but not even a call. The "we would rather not hire anyone than fill an open job with someone without professional experience" attitude for an entry level job really gets me. My current employeer does it to. If they are completely incompetant fire them. It isn't like they are going to destroy the world if it is entry level and they screw up.
This should at least get you started.

KPH is a valid abreviation for kilometer per hour so the conversion rate is roughly speaking 1:1.
True and for many fields that is very important. However, we evolved to make faulty reasoning for a reason. We are capable of operating on faulty information with a reasonable chance of survival because there is a slimmer chance of survival waiting on full information before making the "right" decision. Empiricism and Rationalism asks that everyone gives up their naturally evolved sense of decision making and move towards a more rigorous, time-consuming, and evolutionarily unbeneficial method for better long-term survival. For modern society that is a great step, but it is also an unnatural step that many people can't or won't make.
I don't know about others but the kind of time I spend on social networking (compiling) is not well suited to being replaced with the kind of time I spend gaming (uninterupted). The gaming time lost now goes to spending time with children and a wife(yes, they do exist).
That is if you are an empiricist there is no other way to provide proof other than evidence. I never took a philosophy class so I'm not sure of the term but I think there are far more people who subscribe to proof through consensus which would be wikipedia's methodology. An abundance of rigor tends to make alot of people shut down or at least slow mental processing down to where they are non-functional(admittedly probably by choice). I don't know that converting everyone to empiricism is actually a rational goal.
Really? Is that possible? Any 2 second gap I leave between my car and the car in front of me is quickly filled by some idiot from the other lane hoping to gain 2 mph before riding the bumper of the person in front of me, at least during rush hour. As much as I'd love to follow safe driving practices, if everyone else doesn't they aren't safe at all.

That makes no sense. If you think winter is so depressing why cancel summer time?
In a job market with high-unemployment companies can get away with it.

Yes but it would be much much larger given the size of today's dollar...
Haha. The germans were better than the germans. I probably shouldn't have posed the question for me to keep going...
It is better in the same ways that the Taliban was better than the Russians. And the Russians were better than the Germans. Should I keep going?
Or you know familiar to anyone posting here.

Did anyone else find the title more interesting without reading the summary?
No LAN party option in D3? That was one of the best parts of D2. I don't want to leave it up to Blizzard's servers what patch I run.
What do you mean? My 11 month old would love it.
