  1. I'm Reminded of the Dodge Sheriff on Arizona H-1B Workers Advised to Carry Papers At All Times · · Score: 1

    Boy, you in a heap of trouble.

    I'm also reminded of the students that went to Alabama, and Mississippi.

  2. Re:Was Jesus riding Nessie? on Fundamentalist Schools Using "Nessie" To Disprove Evolution · · Score: 4, Funny

    Cats have multiplication figured out. And when it comes to eating Primates, Cats have subtraction figured out also. Halfway there?

  3. Re:schematic on A Universal Turing Machine In 100 Punchcards · · Score: 1

    I saw the youtube site. My first thought was what software was used to make the "mechanical" visual. Possibly Blender3D?

  4. Bravo! Good Job! on A Universal Turing Machine In 100 Punchcards · · Score: 1

    I would be very interested in how you made what you made.

    One cannot stop people from hoarding. Those that can hoard, will still hoard, but for those of us low life dirt bags, we still have to pay rent, food, and utilities. We have to spend our honest money. That's what will pump the economy. That's the second main roll of government in my crusty Republican mind. Not this "do nothing" congress we have now. Good folks are being punished for something they didn't do. And that's not fair.

    Are Tea Party Members having a bad day today?

  7. m$ Access?!?!?! on Bev Harris of Black Box Voting Releases Accenture's Voting Software · · Score: 1

    I don't think I've ever had to work with a crappier data base/table program. It makes reading and writing to a random access text file rational. Who ever said yes to m$ Access should be looking at hard jail time.

    To much money is being Horded. By increasing the money supply, there will be more to go around. That means "filling the pot holes", and "painting structures"; and NOT pandering to a different set of well off businesses.

  9. Re:Lie on your resume on Why Bad Jobs (or No Jobs) Happen To Good Workers · · Score: 4, Interesting

    When someones job is reduced down to Yellow Highlighting buzz words on a resume before handing it to someone that understands those buzz words; one has to wonder, "just how many years of college do personnel staff need for their occupation?"

    When is it cost effective to maintain a group of people that can parrot corporate direction, and culture? The web can hold that data better and more accurately.

    My observations indicate the Tea Party to be mentally incapable realizing the dynamics of American community. By applying mathematics formulated by John Nash to Tea Party actions, one clearly sees their caustic future. The Tea Party are like the North American Ghost Dancers, only more in tragic.

  11. Maybe One Should Look Inward, First on Why Bad Jobs (or No Jobs) Happen To Good Workers · · Score: 1

    Companies typically blame schools, for not providing the right training; the government, for not letting in enough skilled immigrants; and workers themselves

    I remember a time when companies invested in their staff, at all levels of employment, and decendents were incouraged to join. With the advent of the Internet, Kitchen Table Geneics, Watson, Siri, and 3D Printing; I truly question the need for the American government to maintain Entitlements for the obsolete concept of "Corporations."

    Is this Camera the reason for the hold up on the iPhone 5?

    I was thinking of certain public figures taking campaign donations in public. "Film at 11."

    I'm just curious, but did Google detect any web sites that stroll through any city collecting information off wireless routers?

  18. Re:Short, Fiction, with simple words on Ask Slashdot: Best Science-Fiction/Fantasy For Kids? · · Score: 1

    I wonder if the parent considered the 1938 radio broadcast of "War of the Worlds," or FOX News?

  19. About 310 million Americans after 9/11, did, well, nothing but mind their own business. Who ever the pin head in charge was, burned a hole lot of tax payer dollars on something the FBI has a charter and protocol to do the same thing with.

    So,what could possible go wrong at the NSA? And whose personal wet dream was this?

  21. Re:And $100.00 wasted.... on The $100 Masters Degree From Udacity · · Score: 1

    I'm thinking this logic works pretty fair, in India.

    But long term success requires more than an absoute minimum. Short term success cannot handle the unexpected. For example, I use to think that Yale produced quality graduates; I'm now seeing that Harvard is producing successful graduates, and that is quality I prefer to learn from.

  22. Re:And $100.00 wasted.... on The $100 Masters Degree From Udacity · · Score: 1

    I don't know what are the rules are for accreditation, but it's what code monkeys don't have. And the day will come when the pay master is looking for someone who can really grow with the company; that's when taking all those other lower division classes pays off.

  23. 2 Areas of Concern on The $100 Masters Degree From Udacity · · Score: 1

    Diploma Mills are way more expensive. I hope an acceptable accreditation,(like I won't get laughed at to loudly when I put it on my job application), will come with the $100 and completing the curriculum.

    Statistics is my personal Achilles Heal. The Stat class(s) should cover the stats required for the A.I. classes. The ability to drill down an avenue of questions would be a god send. With 160K+ students, there's no way a professor can answer all those questions. But if one could drill down to a sub lecture on a particular subject for a more in depth understanding or refresh of knowledge forgotten; beautiful.

    If m$ wants the truth, then they'll have to ask someone that has nothing to lose by telling the truth.

    Personally, I'm very concerned about the Chocolates that are also awarded. The only reason I got involved with my dissertation, "Gaming the Euro to a Zero Sum Value" was because of the Chocolates that came with the award. Now, I just don't know.
