  1. Re:I suspect... on Uprated "10-ton" Ariane 5 Fails · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    Any theories on which aliens did this? Was it the ones who destroyed CONTOUR, or perhaps it was the Zhti Ti Kofft.

    Perhaps the European Space Agency should forget rockets, and use an X-4000 Launch Aparatus. Those don't explode.

  4. Gifted children get bored, and tune out. on Dealing with ADHD and Other Problems in Young Children? · · Score: 4, Insightful
    Maybe she doeesn't have ADHD at all. ADHD is a popular buzzword, and any kid differet from the others will be called that, and pilled up with ritilin. I would bet my last dollar that your daughter's school is only guessing.

    Maybe she tunes out because she is bored. I did. It is also possible that she has mild epilepsy, and is having petit mal seizures. This was also the case when I was a child. It started out in kindergarten. I thought I would learn to read and write, but it was just games for babies. I was dissilusioned. The teacher thought I was retarded because I refused to join in on the baby games, but when they had my mother sit in on a day of class, I was "suddenly a lively young boy." When mom asked why I didn't like school, I told her, "It's dumb!" In first and second grade, I was constantly accused of daydreaming. When I hadn't done my homework, and told the teach I hadn't heard her assigning it, I was telling the truth. I was put in the idiot classes, but once I was sent for an IQ test, I scored genius level, in the 130s. Now they were stumped, they can deal with average kids, and sub-average kids, but not gifted children.

    After several years, and half a dozen doctors, I was eventually diagnosed with epilepsy. When "daydreaming," I was often having a petit mal seizure, and completely unaware of what was going on around me. Boredom with dumbed down schools was cured by sending me to an accelerated prep school, and the petit mals with Dilantin and Mysolene, as I was allergic to the drug of choice, tegretol. None of these is a stimulant like Ritilan. Petit Mal seizures usualy stop as soon as brain growth stops. Once you reach adulthood, it is gone. Mine went away just as expected. If I were a child again today, They probably would have said I have ADHD, and gave me ritilin, which would have harmed me, not helped. I used to work with a man who had been pilled up with that crap since childhood, and was still on it, and could tell dozens of horror stories about working with him. If you would like me to tell you more, email me.

  9. Re:You wanna start a Union? on Hi-tech Work Places no Better than Factories? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Forming a union would be the best thing hight tech workers could do for ourselves. The fight needs to be us(the workers) VS.them(the bosses)not us VS. us The union bashers here think they are part of the same elite that their bosses are part of. They will learn when they are earning the same as the teenagers saying, "fries with that." Wake up! Boom and Muffy don't want you at their country club! Tech workers are working longer and harder for less, and the bosses are rolling around in the wealth that we create for them. We cannot change that divided. We must be united. That is called a union.

    No matter what we think it says, it does not matter, because the courts interpret what it means, and we are not the courts. If you want to really boil it down, Thomas Hobbes said that you have the rights the state chooses to extend you. No more. If armed men decide to deprive you of life liberty or property without due process of law, they will. A piece of parchement that says they aren't allowed to do that won't protect you. Perhaps Mao said it best when he said power flows from the barrel of a gun.
