  1. Linked books on What Kind of Books do You Want? · · Score: 1

    Wher if you want to learn "a" you go through that, then it suggests "if you want to learn more "a" go here, or go here to 'B'. Maybe even break it down on a chapeter or concept level. Kind of a dead tree tree. ;)

  2. Teach yourself books- on What Kind of Books do You Want? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Sort of the opposite of the dummies. Something that assumes you already have an idea about the subject, but dont know excatly how to go about doing it. Something the reverse of the normal teaching method. FOr instance, im trying to learn pearl right now. The thing is all the books start out at the very basic, and go to the complicated. I would like somehting that takes a complex example and breaks it down in a logical manner. Yes, i can do this on my own, but itd be nice to have it set up that way in a book.

    ANd im quite happy with electonic verisons, as long as theyre vaguely palm friendly.

  3. Of course hes trimming it. on Big Changes In Proposed U.S. Space Budget · · Score: 1

    He dosent want any new fangled hydrogen fueled vehicles to cut into oil revenues. Now if the shuttle ran on crude oil......

  4. Define AI. on Arguing A.I. · · Score: 1

    Technically, my thermostat is AI within its boundaries. TEhy dont even have a real definition of human intellegence yet. It used tpo be tool user, but then someone noticed that chimps use tools, and we cant be calling those nasty little primates intellegent, now can we? So now its "uses tools to make tools". GImme a break. I do tech support, i know for a fact there are chimps out there smarter than some of my users. DOnt get me started on Dolphins and Grey parrots.

  7. Re:Why does Spam matter? on TrustE Launches Trusted Spammer Program · · Score: 1

    IT costs the sytems time and money to stor it all. Not to mention bandwidth and annoyance. I have a hotmail account that gets 50 spams a day. I ave up on using it because it was too big a hassle to sort through to pick out the stuff i wanted. So it costs hotmail .0002 cents a day to store my mail, now multiply that by 2 milion. Imagine you had to pay for it.

  11. To be honest on Beginning Astronomy? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    While i love astronomy as an interest, ive always found telescopes to be somewhat usless in terms of finding out whats out there. I mean, dont get me wrong, its great fun to take a look at planets and such through them, but ive always found reading about it more interesting, since theres only so much i can find out by looking up myself.

  12. Pork and spinach calzone? on Healthy Pork? Pinach? · · Score: 2, Funny

    This is one of those times where we have to ask "Is humanity really ready for a pork and spincah clazone?"

  13. IRS AUDIT on Document Retention - How Long is Too Long? · · Score: 1

    As far as I know, they can audit you back to 7 years, so you should keep documents back at least that far.

  17. Re:Is that even legal? on California City Issues Internet Cafe Moratorium · · Score: 1

    So, my city council can legislate that blacks cant drink out of a business water fountans, because they think thats best for the area? I understand your point, but I think that too often governments overstep their boundaries in terms of regulation.

  18. Re:Is that even legal? on California City Issues Internet Cafe Moratorium · · Score: 1

    Shouldnt the question be why the city council feels it should be allowed to pass legislation about Bars, Porn Shops Video Stores and whatnot?

  19. I am a direct witness to this!!! on 'Indiana Jones 4' Finally A Go · · Score: 1

    Our laundry drain pipe was clogged up by a pair of underwear. They floated out and made it all the way through the pumping system, whatever the hell it is, and partway down the draining hose.

  24. Re:They all have the same answer- on The 11 Greatest Unanswered Questions of Physics · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Excuse me, but why the FUCK was this modded down? Its vaguely on topic, and i thought it was amusing. If you dont want to mod it up, thats fine, but just because YOU have no sense of humor, theres no reason to assume everyone is as shallow as you are. Asshole. Yeah, why dont you mod this down too, at least this deserves it.
