I just wanted to point out I've noticed myself, from those I've meet, that Jesuits tend to be cut from a more sensible and empathetic cloth than most others.
Their actions differ but their outlook on the world is similar. They cannot stand different beliefs. They need the world around them to be fitted to their idea of what it should be regardless of the facts.
It isn't just teaching pseudo-science, it is also control of sexuality, court rooms, government, etc.
Too bad there are so many unlike him. It always is easier to judge others and hide in a group of like minded folks than it is to have quiet personal faith and make your life an example. I guess most people's beliefs are fundamentally weak and require that everyone around them think and act the same way for them to keep their faith.
Religious fundamentalism is the kiss of death for a creative society. These right-wing extremists would have fit right into Pol Pot's vision of an agrarian society devoid of intellectuals and teachers.
If they are going to dictate what is taught in schools then I expect the government then should have the right to regulate churches. They should then enforce equal access laws forcing churches to accommodate Jews, Muslims, etc.
How come no one said much about the extreme violence in the game but as soon as it shows someone having pleasure people freak out. Why is sex always considered worse than violence? Frigg'n hypocrits.
I liked being able to do some work from home at a previous job. When I had to choose between sitting around work late or coming in very early to see if a job run without errors before the rest of the developers came in vs being able to check for 5 minutes before going to bed I was glad I could do it from home.
Plus, if I was just sick enough to not want to go to work but not sick enough to stop me from actually working I could sit comfortably at home in slippers and work from there.
You are absolutely right. I have a background in physics and have done some grad level CS work and my conclusion is the same. The vast majority of physicists get hired by the gov, a few get picked up by small companies (i.e. optical devices). CS people seem to be mainly in academia and a few working for MS.
I wonder if you'd end up having to license your downloaded customized keyboard layout. Then if you don't make your license payment your keyboard goes blank. Hope you remembered that key layout!
The Slashdot crowd finally went through with their threats and went after outsourcing. Only problem is that they got the wrong cable.
Joking aside, what would it mean if most connectivity to a large company's outsourced IT force was suddenly cut off? Does it look like such a great idea after all?
Does the US military, with a budget well over $500 billion dollars, really think it needs this? If we can't win wars with all the satellites, carriers, tanks, bombers, etc we have now then I think we should ask for our money back.
Seems like this country is becoming a military worshipping nation like the worst dictatorships.

Yes, Bill Gates is running around in a bizarre spandex outfit but unfortunately he isn't using it to combat spammers.
Very long radio wavelengths are used because shorter ones are absoarbed by water.

Ah, Christian Fundamentalists, America's Taliban.

"and receive media tailored to who you are, where you are and what you are looking at"
Let me take a guess, this media would consist of shitloads of ads?
"You are near another Starbucks! You are near a Dunkin Doughnuts!"

Let me take a guess, they'll build DMCA enforcement into it sooner or later.
If someone used that to monitor professionals I guarantee that any office space problems they might have would be solved very quickly.
I suspect they would only use this to make life miserable for hourly "low skilled" workers like data entry folks.

Are you sure he isn't actually having a daily petit mal seizure? I feel like I'm having them during long, boring meetings.
I'm worse than you. I've wasted time reading your comment about wasting time.

True, but money bought me some great trips and some really fun times with my wife. Money may not buy happiness but it sure helps.
Seriously, how many people work 70-80 hr weeks on the average? I say you are exaggerating just a wee bit.
So what you are saying is that I should go into a field that isn't in current demand? That's it! I'm off to study stone tool manufacturing.

I think this explains a lot about Dick Cheney.
I'm not sure you can use highly experimental procedures on even the mortally wounded without some kind of 3rd party consent.
Time to move the outsourcing to the next frontier. Say, Somalia?
Bad Slashdot! Bad! Now sit in the corner.
Bow Wow Wow dedicated a song to it, "C-30, C-60, C-90 Go" (the numbers refer to tape lengths).
