  1. Re:This just proves on Women Dropping Out of IT · · Score: 1

    Using big words is not an act of intellect.

    At the risk of being pedantic, I think this could start a real paradigm shift.

    As an aside, somebody once told me the only people who use the word paradigm are dumb people trying to sound smart.

  4. Re:Too late probably, but... on Cloth Successfully Separates Oil From Gulf Water · · Score: 1

    That's an interesting thought.

    Maybe the oil companies should be required to have an emergency response team that's able to mobilize quickly and deal with spills they way governments have disaster recovery teams that get sent around the world to help when an earthquake or whatever happens.

    Hmmm, maybe they already do. I'm not really up on the operations of oil companies.

    We Americans frown on sophistication, and would like to encourage criminals to be simple.

  16. Re:Mr. Heilmann, you should talk to Mrs. Streisand on Politician Forces German Wikipedia Off the Net · · Score: 1

    In an attempt to keep things simple (based on your post you need it). I'll address one component of each 'ism to show you how they are diametrically opposite.

    Fascism:
    "Our Nation/nation is the greatest in the world. Let's make an empire." (See Italy, Germany, Japan circa 1925-45)

    Communism:
    "Workers of the world unite."


    See the difference?

    What you're infact referring to is totalitarianism. You see, the USSR was communist in name only. In reality it was totalitarian...which shares more with the type of fascism we saw in the early 20th century.

    I didn't realize calling Canada carried "international calling" surcharges.

    Do you live in Canada? No? Then why would "international calling" surcharges surprise you?

    After reading that sentence I quoted, I realized you are an idiot and you probably could have fixed the problem without having to make a single call to tech support.
