too lazy to find links. but a handful of undersea cables were 'mistakenly' cut by various excuses. I'm sure many people knew it was b.s. and that the gov was splicing them.
90's child : 35 now : one foot in one out of the internet age.
If this was 20 years ago I'd give this guys story a lot of credit. I'm curious how a 18 year old now views it. It seems to me that the new generation has plenty of
socially awkward programmers and a good number of confident people programming.
As someone that spent all his high school time getting laid, I don't think you'll find anyone that is a great programmer and popular as both take a lions share of time to develop. And learning to be cool at 22 isn't the same as 16. But, same goes for coding.
We are geeks. There's something wrong in our minds that makes us happy spending time typing on a keyboard rather than chasing women.
What a ridiculous negative stereotype. Just because you spent your teens and early 20's behind a keyboard doesn't mean that the rest of us were socially awkward introverted weirdos.
I found plenty of time for girls. I suspect many other "geeks" did as well. It was not an either-or scenario.
What you really want to say is "I had a crummy adolescence, but it's only because I was super-smart!" Which is... very sad.
Stop spreading that ridiculous myth! Back to your parents basement with you!
Might be a bit strong, but I agree this should be about efficiency and ergonomics, maybe some other stuff. It's good that they got rid of old foam style seating. But i bet they had no thought to our long term / short term health.
Social change . social engineering. People could only work a few hours a day or week. enough to keep them honest. That work hard for something and earned it feeling is more of a emotional response and does not have to be an effect of selling more of yourself for less than everyone else is.
I've always felt this leads to a negative place much like when people don't have to earn anything and take it for granted
modern rebellion is only done in 2 ways.
1. stop spending
2. stop working.
guns would be ineffective
and
'protests' as they are known today are just silly.
so logically what is the point at which a critical mass of people will stop spending or working?
Hey I get it, you need a hug.
There isn't one of us that isn't a nsa poster that doesn't get down on the issue. You wouldn't have bothered to respond if you didn't care. This stuff has been getting me down long before NSA . Have a cup of coffee, read a short about fighting the good fight and we'll see you tomorrow. I don't know if we'll succeed but we'll try hard.
Once Hollywood starts basing things off of this, won't it just cause the equation to become invalid? What they will discover is that these types of predictions only hold accuracy as long as you don't know they are being used.
Just an opinion, but don't we use Shakespeare and it's ilk to increase reasoning skills? Much Ado About Nothing is no funnier than any given sitcom out there. Isn't it the language gymnastics that give it's benefit? Seems like chewing it for them just works around testing.
Wouldn't it be neat if there was a plateau for story telling where at some point people don't want it to be more real or more intense or more trumped up. That people like their symbolism and story telling like their food, place in front of them not fast balled at their mouth. (rambling should have anon'd it)
If we assume this is coming then its just a matter of waiting until us 30 somethings die. Then google will still be around and everyone will accept the new way of life.
Think September 2001. I never would have thought people, even the proles, would have wanted the patriot act and other such nonsense but now the 3rd graders are adults and its for our own good.
Although we could factor in the linked causes of co2 from the breathing to the extra wear and need for more sneakers, I'd just want a world where people biked instead of all drove cars. That being said
the health benefits of everyone biking over driving cars would have a cascading positive effect on health care resource consumption and therefore co2 it can be assumed.
'Correcting the fault of drunk driving' is the specific of the ambiguous 'a real man'.
Societal prosecution for an transgression after you compensated the damaged car owner is for people** who can't correct behavior.
**note the douche bag that this story is about.
A few of us still believe in the old prophecy. Some day there will be The One, and he will find a way to take grinding out of video games. And the old times will come back. and we will have games like zelda (nes) and metroid again.
I've found the pattern in pi that can predict the stock market. It is only good until my coffee wears off though.// Yeah but seriously who sees this as being beneficial to the system?
The future is now. Soon every American
home will integrate their television,
phone, and computer. You'll be able to
visit the Louvre on one channel, and
watch female mud wrestling on
another. You can do your shopping at
home, or play Mortal Kombat with a friend
in Vietnam. There's no end to the
possibilities.

So the tar sands are not the job makers they were saying they'd be?

Seems the title misses the mark.
Are they trying to keep everyone 23 years old so they don't cycle through workers in San Fran?

Or they could just move and leave it to the city See also : coal corps, oil corps, every other corp.

Breach of trust. yes. But I'd take this aftermath any day over how other companies would react.
No one thinks our government will produce anything but a set of reforms that benefit institutions of power.

This is how I see it. Age 34

I mean besides convince people to stop hindering research with them.
