  1. Re:Did they do any market research? on Japanese Baby Robot Teaches Parenting Skills · · Score: 1

    I think the real idea behind this is the Japanese government wants to encourage it's citizens to have more babies; in recent years Japan have been suffering from consistent yearly declining birth rates.

  2. Good Read on How the Internet Didn't Fail As Predicted · · Score: 1

    This is a good reflecting article; oh the things we say when we're ignorant and afraid of change.

    It's like when Sliced Bread came out; people were skeptical and afraid and wanted their hands hold with a soft spoken voice saying "it's ok change is good it will make your life better"

  3. Re:Virtualization- on US Government Begins Largest IT Consolidation in History · · Score: 1

    Virtualization of servers is the right approach to reducing hardware costs and power consumption. We have a facility that currently run on three virtualized server and just because the facility need to have high availability we have an additional blade server that can be fail over in case the primary crashed.

  4. So on Key Letter By Descartes Found After 170 Years · · Score: 3, Insightful

    How did Guglielmo Libri the Italian mathematician got away with stealing 30,000 books and manuscript from France and got away with it. How did the official at the French Public Library not notice that one of their employee had made off with 30,000 items that does not belong to him.

  5. Re:He got away with it. on Space Shuttle Spy Gets 15 Years · · Score: 1

    Yes if the father teaches his kids to be thieving POS who have no morals or any since of loyalty.

    The man betrayed a country that provided him the best opportunity he could ever have and protected his human rights; but instead he chooses to throw it all away for greed.

  7. Re:working Jaffa Serpent Head on Stargate Props Going Up For Auction · · Score: 1

    You're right SG merchandising for some reason was lacking to say the least compare other sci-fi series. The guns are cool items but my favorite was always the head dress especially the Anubis; i was surprise that they did not have the Anubis head dress up for sale.

    Wouldn't drinking milk resolved the Vitamin D deficiency. I do not know much about the Richet illness but what does sunlight have to do with Calcium.

  10. my short story on Does a Lame E-Mail Address Really Matter? · · Score: 1

    About three years ago while I was working for a small local consulting company; we have a client that we host emails for and they have an employee that absolutely love AOL and he refuses to use his company email account he prefer his personal AOL account. To me this doesn’t really show a whole lot of professionalism considering most every business now have their own email system in one form or another.
    Even now working for a different company I still see individual using AOL or Hotmail even though they work for very well know and established companies.

  11. Good on Managing Young Sys Admins At Oregon State Open Source Lab · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Great that the university is giving these newbies a chance to get their feet wet before they venture into the real world. This type of opportunity is what i fine lacking while I was going to school and I had to search this type of opportunity out for myself.

    One of the biggest problem I find when you first enter into the IT field as a student is that there is a lack of on the job hands on training. Students really need to be expose to hands on materials more to reinforce what they've learned in text books and labs.

  14. What a tool on Florida Congressman Wants Blogging Critic Fined, Jailed · · Score: 0

    Alan Grayson deserve to be bound gag and thrown in a river for this stupid a$$ stunt. Just another b1tcha$$ politician acting like a three years old trying throw someone in jail because he doesn't like a little criticism.

    Like the old saying goes "if you don't like the heat get the f*ck out of the kitchen"

  15. Re:Water can kill you on Legislator Wants Cancer Warnings For Cell Phones · · Score: 1

    you know the ironic thing is this have been documented and proven to be true.

  17. Re:I am seeing it. on Not Enough Women In Computing, Or Too Many Men? · · Score: 1

    it all depends on which area of IT you're in; there are sections of IT that are well paid but the unfortunate part is you still have to deal with the weird hours but IT is support so as support you are going to have to put up with those weekends on called.

  24. Re:Germans and Wolfenstein .... on Russia Recalls Modern Warfare 2 · · Score: 1

    But I would not call the "Memorial of the Murdered Jews" in Berlin any sort of openness embracing of Germany WW2 history either.

    Your comment is like a white person saying "I'm not racist i have black friends"; just because they built something to memorialize an atrocity that was mostly ignored by most of their population does not mean that they have finally embrace and acknowledge that part of their history.

    I have been told over the years by many instructors who have experience what King TJ instructor have experience while staying long term in Germany as well; Germans do not like to talk about "that" part of their history.
