    No wonder Christian churches try to keep people off from non Christians, you have serious issues

    Im not into the whole "dont mix with the world idea" but I deffinitively prefer being isolated withmy family than socializing with people like you

  6. Hard to believe on Pac-Man Is NP-Hard · · Score: 1

    It is hard to believe since I played continually over 2 hours without loosing all lives, I remember I found a single path tha would allow me to continue playing with phantoms running at really fast pace, the hard part was to be constant, but doable nevertheless

    At least in Mexico, only research or administrative jobs at universities get good wages, average profesors dont do a lot actually, still, huge amounts of money are expended every year, and there is the same big gap between middle class and high class that we see on general society

  9. Re:Okay this may get me modded down to infinity, b on Tackling Open Source's Gender Issues · · Score: 1

    While I agree that a lot of woman, and man (please don't forget that), are very materialistic, there are quite a few that are not, if you can't find them it's more of a personal problem, and if they don't want to start a relationship with you its a bigger personal problem, and if they meet you and leave you, probably a bigger one too :D

    I'm happily married for almost 8 years, with 2 little girls, we are not rich, but we have more than enough, and we value what we got right now, if we don't have as much in the future, it might be an inconvenience, but surely not the reason to break apart our family.

    So, pretty much, learn to seek on the right places.

    Someone told me that is unconfortable to work from home because kids keep talking to you, wife would fight for attention , etc.

    Bullshit, office people tend to try to attract attention too, and they are not my familiy, do i prefer not seeing a lot of people by staying with my family most of the time?

    I actually did the test, passed all my local config from apache to nginx, the config approach is quite different, it took me like 3 day of getting it 30-60 minutes to config ngix all the things that apache had working but the final config was about 20 lines long, oppossed to a much bigger apache config that has taken year to "master".

    Needlss to say, been happy using nginx for a couple of months now on local testing env., still neeed to port production sites :)

    So, now it is cheap to copy a music record, how come the prices are so high then ? This is just a matter of capitalism, if there is someone that can provide me the product cheaper, I will get it from them (think in China products) if record industry lower their prices profit will increase, people need to learn more calculus and try to depend less on draconian laws.

    You cannot expect a poor people think they are not worth hearing the song rich people can hear legally, so, lower the poor population and profits will increase too, but for them is cheaper buying congres men

    I have a Ph.D. But I started working a few years ago on an area that I never had any formal education (IT), and most likely do more money than what I would do with my diploma, so I would guess that traditional education is by no means something we should be caring too much, Im sure my case is not the most common, but surely here in .mx there are a lot of graduate people working on a completly different area.

    My 2 cents, Im not the AC you replied to
