  1. So you are saying man need's to write a novel? on What Internet Searches Reveal About Human Desire · · Score: 2

    OK, let us be specific here in order to make everyone happy.

    So, woman needs multiple stimuli simultaneously in quick succession, and the most popular erotica for women is the romance novel?

    So if a man were to woo and seduce a woman, he's to write his perhaps 500-page novel, while at the same time hoping his erection does dissipate by the time his novel is done?

    Ladies, don't complain that you don't get laid enough.

  3. What You Need To Understand on Why Science Is a Lousy Career Choice · · Score: 1

    What President Obama and other cahoots of these so-called leaders do are merely drumming the rhetoric for their own survival.

    They have epitomized the meaning of success and in any society we can't have too many success of this kind -- where people do not do actual work (productive); they just talk their way through everything, never having to sweat through the real stuff.

    So what do they need to do to cement their position? Work the ground people, the people that make things work, the people that make society gels together, the people that help advance society, the very people who will toil sweat and tears so that the cream of society can maintain their lifestyles. As I speak now we are all being worked by those whose very word spoken by the minute has real financial value compared to yours, and we are the bearer of the debt.

    They need the numbers, the diploma holders, to tinker with machines and crunch out daily tasks so everything gets moving. President Obama is not saying it but he wants to build up a certain mass of low paid but skilled workers as a society enabler, which he hopes will work itself out of the toiling and troubles.

    Leaders everywhere are the same; they extend their stay, they extend their reach to you (poor skilled workers) and made promises that are delivered in trickles spread over decades which by that time you are a spent force, they would have achieved their goals of milking you dry of your productive short life here on earth. Then who's next? Your children, your children's children, or those who don't this escape this economic slavery and misery, perpetrated by leaders who merely speaks to enjoy the gains and benefits that come from you.

    Have you spent a moment in your day to think about hard cold facts?

  4. Is that efficiently managed? on Facebook's Server Room, Penthouse Cooling Caught On Video · · Score: 1

    I wonder if anyone does an organic computation of the efficiency rate for operating these server farms.

    I believe the operating costs (taking in risks factor as well) are too high for the actual benefits (for humankind) - much like nuclear plants. Why does mankind has to slave for machines that serves up imaginary values in their lives?

  5. Quality of Thoughts on Does It Suck To Be An Engineering Student? · · Score: 1

    The demoralizing factor to engineering schools is inherently built into the human psyche of greed (among those in the rein of power). You need to look into society's behavior and direction to get a grip of where this had all gone awry. The lack of quality of thoughts in not only the engineering schools but society itself - to be more exact lacking in mass (quality of thoughts) to have any impact in society, is the one impeding factor for not just engineering students, but human beings as well. Those with the desired quality will want to drive that to his advantage eventually - thus perpetuating the damaging greed psyche. Who said GREED is GOOD?

    We all need to know that the need to sacrifice, is paramount to uphold the very basic fundamental quality that is sorely lacking in the advancement of human society since I don't know when.
    Consciousness to Goodness and Sacrifice and Wisdom is what we need to have in our first step prior to acquiring knowledge. You cannot miss any of the essential steps while climbing up the ladder - even if you can.
    There is a need to comprehend the terms - GENIUS, PRODIGY - or any other mind-bending terms, that, those words are perpetuated by the misguided minds of organized society. No one is exempted to climb each of the steps.

This has enable swarm of little guys feeding off it, producing work nowhere near the sophistication, to subsist on it and some making fortunes off it.

    The sustenance provided by this sophistication is beyond our comprehension and it lasts lifetimes after lifetimes. The fact that we do not understand this state of affair, makes us novice capitalists truly in need of understanding rather than learning and mastering technology itself. This is the holy grail to our quest for an answer - not just the state of IT, but if you find it, the answer may have the same influence as the question that give rise to it.

  8. IT Panning Out on Dismantling the Myth of IT Being a Dead-End Career · · Score: 1

    For the fresh nerds out in the market, looking at IT strictly from the financial-return viewpoint, this can limit his vision of wanting to do stuffs that matters to him. What they can do is study lessons of the boomers like Jobs, Olsen, etc. and spend a little more time on the conservative side of things. It may not look attractive (now), but patience and diligence always have its own fruits of satisfaction - dealing with conservative ideas.

    It is good that now we are seeing IT panning out to a wider mainstream adoption and outsourcing and its effects. On this aspect, do not position yourself in direct competition with this inexpensive labour. Ride on this wave but keep spending your time studying this phenomenon. There ought to be a new angle to this and this is where the next wave will come from - of course you want to be the first to ride on it.

    You need to re-adjust your vision of having a career as a nerd. Don't get carried away by hackers-syndrome or big-money-league-game (Google). Success and fortune is merely a happenstance event under the shadow of a greater play of the spirit. This is not to be misunderstood. You may vet this statement by listening to the boomers - if you know how to.

    IT like any other careers, is here to stay - in fact it has more leverage potential than the others, as they are crunching stuffs under the IT umbrella.

  9. Technology is Heading to Its Own Death as of Today on Bill Gates Is Coming To A College Near You · · Score: 2, Insightful

    The advancement of technology will lead to its own death. Man's capacity to master the complexities is not limited but he is stretched too thin that it consumes a large part of his productive life. Furthermore the fruits of its rewards does not serve man's needs -- his happiness. Therefore he will abandon his pursuit for technology, or it does not strike his interests to pursue a goal that does not serve his peace and the peace of mankind, mainly for these:

    1) it is increasingly being used to harm mankind
    2) it encroaches into his privacy, leaving him caged like a paranoid animal
    3) even when used in peacetime, the war waged on the business circles is likened to war -- the hostility have devastating effect on the frail morale of an average human
    4) touting its capability, hostile competition only promotes creativity of a kind that pushes man over the edge -- where the surviving few have little chance to live and tell
    5) overt technology saps the human soul, making him spiritually dead

    Geeks out there, SPEAK UP!

  11. Good Mainframe Programmers... on What is Mainframe Culture? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    ...are aware of the intrinsic I/O between CPU, HD and peripherals. It is well published in the manuals anyway. PC programmers (generally) have no idea how data and at what rate are moved between peripherals. Thus they have little control over the inner workings of the language the program in. They are forced to work in sculpted interfaces provided by the Windows world.

The averages consumers who toiled for livings and who spend his hard earned cash on his leisure seldom change his toys for something which promises to be better but we know better - they never end there, which make the state 'better' an undesirable place to be in. If the old VHS works as good as when it was made, the supply affords the consumers, who needs a change for the better DVDs?

  16. The Essence of Job's Speech is HERE on Steve Jobs In Praise of Dropping Out · · Score: 1

    Apparently you have not read well into Steve's speech. The essence of it? Timing and Positioning. The keynote of his speech could be to look for this situation in our lives. You will excel in anything once you get into the zone of realization. The results are what we see on the surface. If Steve really believed in what he is speaking in (literally) then he is one lucky guy with a good 'karma'. Otherwise he would have a good laugh at his awe-struck audience, but which I believed he won't do that. Most likely he's just as amazed we you are at his own success that he felt compelled to share it with you. His task is to speak forth his experience. Your task is to decipher the essence of it. The prize doesn't come free. So wherever you are, even if you have not heard of Job's speech, you do not missed out anything of real significance. Just the lessons in your life is enough to guide you. Our race to hit it right is only overshadowed by our own mortality. But it is mere shadow.

  18. Internet : the Level Playing Ground? on Google Begins Removing AFP From Google News · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Apparently not as the AFP sees it. Having the ability to scour the playing ground at speed and unmatched power, it's inevitable the Google will dominate the Net. When that happens, it runs into opportunities untold, and the lesser players who might be a leader in its own right (e.g. AFP) sees that as a right to protect its ground in the open arena.

    Ultimately Search Engines' business is to provide information for consumers, and providing that information can come in a variety of manners the consumers are comfortable with e.g., Google News. Having the ability to scour and reporting the most arresting of subjects is seen as a threat to others focussing on narrower subjects.

    Instead of copyrighting its subject matters, entities like AFP could and SHOULD leverage on the Internet's openness and exposure to enhance its core subject matter, integrity, and prospect as an attractive business liaisons with consumers.

    Likewise, for the big players, they need to take similar notes. If you accepted that this is level playing ground, and small players emerging with much more speed and flexibility that you may have, then having the same integrity and rules applied, you should not switch stands and whine about small players stealing from your treasure chests when all is done and considered fair game based on consumers dogged ingenuity.

    Think, make not laws that goverened only your own interests.

    I worked for a Japanese MNC, and email messages just do not measure up to a reader who is used to book prose.

If they tried to be polite through more persuasive requests, they won't get it as we can't tell what was the intention until repeated confirmations.

    With local correspondence (and that's university grads with masters degree), it's not so much as hillarity but shame - and it left one with a bad taste in the mouth. These are the one who will eventually lead the organization. Bad news.

  25. Getting into The Zone on Finding the Programming Zone? · · Score: 1

    Getting into the zone: two methods:
    1. The Zen method.
    Getting into the calm state of mind frees you from daily naggings of life that will give you the energy to pursue your goals. This is generally
    the preferred method as it has no misgivings or anything like that to nag upon you later on. You work will be good but never great. You live in short perpetual bliss and you fall into mundane Zen fatigue - no less.

    2. The 'death' method.
    It's a matter of life or death and you are down and almost almost out but you give that final push for the surface. And you get down to it and your mind is filled with violent intense energy of mostly fighting-quality type and you don't know whether what you're doing is detrimental or rewarding.
    Your energy takes control of you but you are interacting with it unconsciously - unconscious because the energy is beyond average human
    comprehension. And your vision is formed and all directions are made clear to you - it's only time that you are racing against with - nothing else distracts you for you have gotten into the zone with that final goal clearly visualized. When you get out later and looks back at the result - you
    may not quite recognize who is behind the work of art.

    To get into this 'death' method is another question.
    Your philosophy on life is severely challenged and you have to abandon all your long-held believes to go on a journey of self-rediscovery. Your abandonment will be that of an apostatic scale.
    Who will be blessed to go on this journey? Do not say "don't curse" for you will - your soul is pouring out.
