    Why is liking video games, specifically FPS and MMOs, a necessity to being a programmer?

  6. Re:Not going to work... on Australia Declares Homeopathy Nonsense, Urges Doctors to Inform Patients · · Score: 1

    The idea of treating the whole person instead of just the symptom is a growing concern in western medicine. This has always been the defining characteristic of homeopathy's holistic approach.

    Eat well. Exercise. Don't smoke or drink to excess. Get plenty of sleep. That's "western" medicine's mantra. And is pretty fucking holistic.

    You'd be surprised. There's a LOT of bad security out there. Something this bad really takes the cake though.

    Well, Scrapheap Challenge also stocked the junkyard with necessary bits for the theme. It's not like you'll find a working rocket engine in a car junkyard :)

    The main difference is the approach the producers take in the US vs. the UK shows. The US ones are all about highlighting him being confrontational.

    One of the best shows of his I've seen was the kid version of MasterChef. His personality really shone through, by being very supportive of the kids while also focusing his critique on their dishes, rather than them. Well worth a watch IMO.

    Have you ever considered that perhaps Autism is an evolution of humans, rather than a thing which will "fuck" us?

    LMAO, you don't know how evolution works, do you? What possible advantage could autism provide, when it renders most afflicted persons unsociable and awkward and therefore highly unlikely to pass on their genes?
