    You need a good sharp knife it sounds like. Gerber makes some cutlery that is pretty decent for the price but if you want to get something really nice you might need to look to Japan/S Korea/Germany.

    Marker Boards you mean, markers last a lot longer than chalk and the average applied mathematician can survive on marker board fumes, coffee/amphetamines and uncooked pop tarts or ramen longer than any freshman/grad student.

  5. Re:Your school is right on Which Language Approach For a Computer Science Degree? · · Score: 1

    Thats fine and dandy, but the world outside academia does not hire computer scientists they hire programmers and developers. Just like as a mechanical engineer there are a multitude of cad and multiphysics tools and I'm glad they drilled one into to me in my associates at a community college because while the breadth of the education I got at a liberal arts school was also important, even vital to my employability nothing is more valuable to me in my day to day activity than knowing the ins and outs of the CAD software the company where I work for uses almost innately so I can worry about the higher level engineering task at hand.

    There are two ways to master a skill or art in this world. One can be taught to labor to reproduce what is already known to work or one can go off on their own with their own philosophy, theory and methodology and attempt to find something else that works. Both followed dogmatically tend to work but they do not always produce the expected results as you can't teach creativity. Many people who graduate college in the United States become disillusioned with their abilities after they realized they have been coddled to expect their input to be valued as equal to everyone else's. This is not the case when you have no idea on how to do proper memory management in C because you were only taught every other language on the face on the earth.

  6. Omg, think of the pr0n on Korean DDoS Bots To Self-Destruct · · Score: 0

    If you overwrote a random 50k computers what would you lose besides the ubiquitous personal photos, porn (some of which might be included in the former) and some game saves? Anyone that is at all concerned for the posterity and the permanency of their ideas/data should of been doing backups as soon as they could afford them. There is really no excuse with ubiquitous free and cheap online backup options and SD cards, cheap desktop RAID and even printing if you can mange a paper file system off site. I have no sympathy anymore for people who lose years worth of data with a single point of failure; and, neither should you.

  7. Re:Mouse? on Best Mouse For Programming? · · Score: 1

    Since when does the average under 30 year old programmer use those? Most kids I go to school with use an IDE and some use plugins that emulate Vi or Emacs but rarely if ever do I see anyone plugging away in a shell anymore. I'm pretty happy with Eclipse myself but I am a mechanical/electrical engineer grad student and the only programs I write lately I find myself using the mouse a lot more than keyboard shortcuts and using the scroll button on the mouse instead of #G or the arrow keys. Honestly I understand where this guy is coming from, my mouse has side buttons that are setup to page down and page up for when reading PDF files and it works very well for quickly going through a long header file as well.

  8. Re:ViewSonic is Great for this. on Small, High-Resolution LCD Monitors? · · Score: 1

    Viewsonic are a crap shoot though, 2 of the past 3 LCD I have had have had cap failures, ballast overheating and uneven lighting. The other one I have hacked into a 22" art frame and it has been running 24/7 without fail for over a year. I did add active air cooling on it though.

    My main setup uses 3 of these and I have yet to find a better bang for the buck without sacrificing picture quality or refresh rate.

  14. Re:Its not rocket surgery... on Staying In Shape vs. a Busy IT Job Schedule? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    First off, you are not going to build muscle mass doing some random activity on the weekends unless it is stocking shelves with free weights. Remember, you will begin losing it moderately at first but as you age the loss of muscle mass will increase greatly. Secondly, sure you might get some light cardio doing something outside every weekend but that is not going to keep your heart and lungs working as efficiently as they could if you spent even one day a week running, swimming laps or biking to work. BTW, regular sex works if you can use your partner's weight as well as your own during coitus. It might help that my current significant other weighs about 110 lbs but you would be surprised what 30 minutes of vigorous sex can do for you physically and mentally with the right person. I have never been in better shape physically than when I was dating 4 women at once in my early 20's even if mentally I was a bit off. The reason many people who have sex a lot look 'sexy' is because they are having sex a lot.

    Some of the replies on this article have been dangerous in recommending what amounts to a training regime for a front line infantry grunt or a super spy ninja but your attitude is almost as dangerous. Aerobic Exercise and Anaerobic resistance/weight training during your 20's, 30's, 40's can stave off many chronic diseases later in life. My personal preference is sex with a degree of athleticism with an intimate other and it has kept me below a 34" waist at 6'2" into my 30's.
