  3. Re:How many US Taxpayer dollars wasted on this? on Iron Man-like Exoskeleton Nears Production · · Score: 1

    I guess that depends on your definition of waste. By my definition $0 was wasted.

    I destroy the cabinets in the kitchen and we're up to $5000 for shitty cabinets I'll have to install myself. Tens of thousands is NOT unreasonable.

  5. Re:So goes a once-talented filmmaker on Lucas Loses Star Wars Stormtrooper Copyright Case · · Score: 1

    Picasso wasn't a financial failure. Many of the artist of that time were quite wealthy in fact. That poor starving genius artist thing is mostly a lie, based mostly on Van Gogh.

    Evidently you don't need a Gmail address. I was just sent an invite, and I'm in. It just pulled my address from my regular Google account.

  13. Just the boards, or components attached? on Ask Slashdot: How To Safely Saw Up Motherboards? · · Score: 1

    Are you talking about naked boards or actual motherboards with all the components? You're not specific, but your post makes it seem like you're really scared of the toxins, but a naked board is just fiberglass?
    As a fellow artist and geek, if you're thinking of sawing up boards with the all the components attached, I would say that's probably a bad idea.

  14. Re:May I be the first... on US Competitiveness Chief Immelt's GE Tax Bill: $0 · · Score: 1

    So, MSNBC like to deride FAT CATS, in spite of their GE ownership. That to me sounds like a news corp that isn't fully bought. You appear to be suggesting otherwise. ?

  15. Re:How about holding them to one qualifcations std on Obama Says Offshoring Fears Are Unwarranted · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Of course, that might mean that the qualifications get skewed to include language proficiencies and such things that US citizens obviously can't do.

    Horseshit. ENGLISH is the DEFAULT language of international business. Everything else is a regional pretender that is marginal at best.

  18. Re:dont be a douche on How To Behave At a Software Company? · · Score: 1

    As an artist, I've plenty of my own personal social issues. I'm horribly shy, it is actually painful at times to be in certain settings.It takes work to overcome Any issue of that nature. It isnt magic tho, its hard work. And I mean work. It doesnt just come, to anyone. All of us really work at our interpersonal relations. Make an effort to talk to strangers, put yourself out there. And try to be nice when people arent very logical. Thats about all it takes. Being nice to those you work around. They're not expecting you to do stand up, or regale everyone with hours of stories. Social skills at work are the easy ones! Schmoozing at parties is harder to do well until you've got the knack. And, see its this stuff: "Also note that careers that require a very high level of logical thinking tend to have more people with Aspergers than other careers (since, well, that's how our brains are wired, really)" Now that maybe true. It comes off as an excuse. I'm an artist, artists are straight up wired Wrong. But I dont use that defect as an excuse to behave like an asshat at work. Note: I'm not making any kind of judgement on you or your Aspergers or your social skills. I just feel like there are alot of people taking advantage of this real issue, as an excuse to be a dick.

    What if? It still isn't a BlackArt. I personally believe Aspergers is Way over diagnosed. Yes, thats just a belief, I've no evidence.

    Its the same as everywhere else in the world. Dont act like (or be) a douchebag. Socialization isn't some BlackArt.
