  2. Re:By default, religion is bullshit on Ask Dr. Robert Bakker About Dinosaurs and Merging Science and Religion · · Score: 1

    Its ironic that the atheists( oddly anti-christian, rarely antisemitic, antimuslim ) are never heard to lambasting the Simulation Argument.

  3. Re:Science is the antithesis of religion... on Ask Dr. Robert Bakker About Dinosaurs and Merging Science and Religion · · Score: 1

    Right, its the basis for this line of reasoning that there is a divide between intellectualism( science ) and religion( faith ). It a false conundrum that sets the stage for a line of discourse that inevitably leads to arguments from the rational side such as "where are quarks in the Old Testament?" While denying the fact that commoners such as ourselves are able to read because of initiatives from the early church that fostered literacy to the riff-raff( so they could read the Bible ).

    The fact the salves were 3/5 of a person was an abolitionist move. It helped ensure that slaves could not be compelled to vote for their own slavery.

    Actually this is one of the better responses to the problem.

    If these qualified people are so hard to find then naturally there must be a tremendous salary to attract them, no?

  11. The top is in on China's Nuclear Rover Will Sample the Moon · · Score: 1

    This is the kind sausage measuring contest that societies do at their peak.

    Like the US, they will spend trill/bill/millions to take pictures of rocks in a vacuum then spend decades reminiscing about the good old days when they were launching rockets to the moon and beyond.

    My department was in need of a solid, heads-down developer and we had a lot of trouble finding qualified candidates. Dont buy into this H1B negative talk.

    If you are smart and can make things work the world needs you. Even if you are an American.

  16. My Story on Ask Slashdot: CS Degree While Working Full Time? · · Score: 1

    I have been working as a software developer/engineer/architect since 1997. I have about 90 credit hours behind me but never got around to finishing a degree before diving into this career, life distracted me and time got away.

    Some time ago, after years of being surrounded by educated people and downplaying my own shortcomings ( and feeling like a fraud ) I decided that I had enough, so I decided to pick the effort back up. It is quite tough to juggle a full time job and course work - but I enjoy learning.

    My advise: By all means proceed. The effort is such that you will quickly discover if this is want you want... or not.

  18. Re:100 more will die today on Adam Lanza Destroyed His Computer Before Rampage · · Score: 1

    So, what are you going to do?

    1) We should make killing children illegal. This will deter people who want to kill children from killing children.

    2) We should do with guns what we did with pot- make them illegal -so nobody, especially teenagers and young adults cant get a hold of any.

    Curious, are you an American, or another foreigner with an opinion?

  20. Re:And yet... on 27 Reported Killed In Connecticut Elementary School Shooting · · Score: 1

    We need to put our opinion of the Second Amendment aside for a moment and think of the children.

    What we really need is a law against killing children in school.

    If only the school were a "gun free zone".

    Naaa, this is just the beginning. They will fix the problem and other manufacturers will go "Oh look, Samsung has a secure web cam on their televisions. We cant allow there to be a web cam gap!"

    Mark my words - write this down - put it in a letter that you send to yourself - make it your voice mail greeting, tattoo this to your forehead- all so you will remember that it was ole' Roachie that told you this. Ready? Ok here it is:

    In the near future you will not be able to get a television that DOES NOT have a camera and/or microphone in it.
