  1. Re:I can sleep on Do Recreational Drugs Help Programmers? · · Score: 1

    So, you are so intelligent that cannot live with your own thoughs?

    I dont think Im brilliant, but have a decent job, and great family, and I would never smoke pot because I have seen what it does to people since I was a kid, I have know all kind of junkies and most of them started with pot and if they keep just on pot they would still do a lot of stupid things, and guess what? The few ones did rehave changed their way of life for better, the rest I knew from infance plus the cleaned ones are all dead, and I am 38, a few of them should be around still.

    Contruction workers do that often, I cannot think it is the best idea, but the job sucks and should be recompensed better that doing enough money for pot to pass the day

    Man, that is a good example of how bad is the while recreational drugs idea

    Look how you feel as soon as your brain even imagines drug control over you

    Drugs are bad, period, you dont need them for any recreational use, and please talk to any recovered weed addict, it is a hell to get out of that thing, as it is alcohol and most other non medical drugs.

    You need recreation? Why not try crack or thinner? They will fry your brain faster right?, notice the part of "faster", do you really need to fry your brain slowly?

    Honest question, how do you get multiple apps doing sound without pulseaudio?

    Im pretty hardcore linux user, and I dont know a better option then pulse audio, and it does not crashes on me, it is a little PITA on first install, but after that it works great for me, maybe I am lucky? ( currently using it on a dell laptop, asus lapto, and amd desktop)

    I dont know what you are smoking, but I have lived in a very competitive environment most of my adult life and I have seen very few taking anything for the sake of productivity, people is healtier than you think, at least here in Mexico.

    You cant blame for the illegality of it when most artist are not even given the choice at all. Monopolies and oligopolies are forcing people to live their ways, and other people is abusing the fact by breaking laws, stupid laws most of the time.

    Forbiding personal beliefs is not freedom at all

  18. Just remember that pimps do not have an unfair advantage of being "the law". We see that a lot around .mx, officers kidnapping and stuff as the system protects them. And dont even think that it cant happen in first world, plenty of abuse cases have been publiciced in the last couple of decades, and a lot more must had happened without going mainstream

  19. So, instead of pimps exploiting prostitutes, government will.... Good idea!

    The world has never had so little proportion of religious people... Do you think it is getting better aside from technollogy? Even more, do you think it will be better in let's say 100 years? a thousand?

  21. Re:Church and Einstein on Einstein Letter Critical of Religion To Be Auctioned On EBay · · Score: 2

    I mostly agree with you, until the point of not thinking by themselves. I am religious, and I do learn science and have a very letftiah libertarian way of thinking, so I dont see how can someone say that I dont think by myself, still I might be blind.

    There are some people working an agenda thru religion, but most are really not, they are learning just as any scientist, every day trying to discover a little new thing about what God left us. And you can be surprised by the good things you get to learn when you actually take the time to reading the bible, of course, if you want to deform ideas it is just as easy as with science or political laws.

    Most of those shorcuts exist on awesome, and a few of them are set to the exact same keys combination. I think xfce is great, but I have a close friend who migrated from it to awesome and says he is very happy with the change.

    Awsome takes a couple of days to get used to, but after that it's pretty much just as any other wm/dm

    I know awesome is not for everybody, but getting forced to do a common task in 3-5 seconds instead of fraction of a second is wrong, I have seen the strugle of a few long time gnome users just to find the previous windows they've used.

    I will definitively loose a couple of hours configuring a lua script just to save 4 seconds on a task I perform hundreds of times every day, the windows OS style of working with maximized windows is not productive at all, and awesome allows me to arrange the windows in a virtual desktop so that I can see them all in just 1 or 2 seconds, I dont have to waste a lot of time resizing just to be able to see a cuple of coding terminals and the browser executing the webapp, for instance.
