    Actually, I have another reference to make...

    So, does this mean that the octirion bells in Unseen University clock tower emit Hawking Radiation?

    Good point!

    I already reduced my working hours as much as possible (I leave work at 3pm on Fridays)

    The way I saw the movie it was about:

    A man in the middle of his mid-life crisis, quits his hated job and gets a job in McDonalds ...he also gets a boner about his teenage daughter's friend, but lets be honest, this is Mena Suvari (at her prime!) we are talking about!

    His wife, in the middle of her mid-life crisis, gets into an affair with a coworker

    His daughter, in the middle of her teenage crisis, hates them both

    I really don't see Lester (the protagonist) as a role model; I for one, don't plan to quit my job. However, I can empathize with his feelings and the situation he's in.

    That still doesn't justify the comments you see in YouTube and 4chan

    But if you really are /that/ stressed about your job, even a job at McDonalds might be better even if that means you can't afford that 50 inch plasma.

    I would be glad to take a job at McDonalds or Starbucks if it only meant that I would not be able to afford a flat-screen TV... I'd be like Kevin Spacey in American Beauty... hanging out with the kids all day, flipping burgers or making frappuchinos in a no-pressure job.

    However, I choose put up with my current job because I have a wife and two kids that deserve more from me.

    In our last vacation, my four-year old spent at least 30 minutes staring up to the night sky with his mouth open...

  13. Re:What's all this license crap anyway? on Google Chrome's Inclusion of FFMpeg Vs. the LGPL · · Score: 1

    You are showing your own bias with that comment (you just stopped short of calling him a social parasite).

    An attorney that specializes in licenses, copyright and patents is (IMHO) the most qualified person to analyze the GPL in behalf of its employers. Whenever or not the lawyer himself believes that the GPL is a good or a bad license, or that copyright is good or bad is irrelevant.

    Here in Mexico City, driving a Hummer is considered an admission of being a drug-dealer or a politician (or both, if you know what I mean...)

    Unless the other Supreme Court candidate is called R. Daneel, I don't think he can be completely impartial and disconnect himself from his own experiences

    [1] As a member of La Raza (The Race) and a good ivy league educated feminist she of course asserted that a latina is inherently superior to a white male.

    You assume she's a member of "La Raza" (a supremacist group) just because she's latina?

    So you also assume that all white males are members of the KKK?
