>> Just as a for-instance, their medical articles are top-notch... my wife is a physician and will often read them.
hmmm. who's your wife again (so I dont go to her)? I prefer my doctors to get their medical articles from periodicals like JAMA.
It ain't personal, I'm sure she's a nice woman (why else would you have married her?!) but...
its sentences like that ^^^ that make me _extremely_ hesitant to go to a doctor these days.... that + a complete lack of ability (or interest) to take a good patient history. Much as I love being lumped in with results drawn on (heavily) Europaen populations, it ain't exactly appropriate to judge my treatment options without regards to my ethnicity (which is not Europaen).
the right to secret ballot, and no unlawful search and seizure is basic to a democracy. Whats the point in looking at anything else if they've violated that principle. Point of fact he voted for that invasion. I dont care what else his platform is.
What the fuck is wrong with you moderators? THIS IS ON-POINT. 0-Troll, what you need a bug up your ass before you formally capitulate to this crap? If you don't like the language, stay the FUCK HOME. and I'm 100% serious - I am *NEVER* voting democratic or republican again. Wake up and smell the put-on its not a two-party system anymore.
Don't confuse that with the entire party? What are you dumb, they passed it. your presidential nominee APPROVED IT. FUCK THE SPINELESS DEMOCRATIC PARTY. FUCK THE FASCIST REPUBLICANS. I'll vote for a damn log before anybody smacking of their ideologies gets my vote again. Fuck the rich, fuck the poor, non-existent welfare government and no military-industrial complex is the only thing that gets my vote henceforth.
Umm yeah. depends on what you mean by research (or rather which language). robotics, japanese. telecomm, chinese. psychology|chemistry|math, german. math, russian, french. it, hindi|chinese. ee hindi. etc. incidentally -- once you learn a language, you might be outdated but not obselete -- the same cannot be said of your technical courses.
One of my friends went to interview for a job, and the HR department went through this whole rigamorole asking him personality questions blah blah. I told'm the minute he told me the first question I would have told them to take the job and go fuck themselves. If it ain't related to my capacity to do the job, it ain't none of your business. i don't ask the CEO why he runs around wearing silk panties, so why the fuck should he be inquirin' if I'm after being friendly or not (and in case u haven't picked up on it, i go towards antagonistic when it comes with dealing with shitheads).
engineers do. and yes we can read Lawyer contracts - we're smart enough to know when a piece of jargon implies a context and smart enough to know where to look to find it. The same cannot be said in reverse (for most lawyers)
Speak for yourself; having a nattering wife break your concentration everytime u start messing with the space-time equations is *extremely* irritating. No I don't fucking care what your hair looks like, no I don't want a new effing couch - bugger off and take care of those brats u dropped etc.
actually you don't even need that, an imagemap with the title attribute set for the href's would probably do it.;)
the problem with flash is that flash developers feel the need to justify using flash (when html would do nicely) by doing stupid crap like this -- otherwise, why hire flash people? hence the problem with the technology as opposed to the developer.
Don't get me wrong, I like flash in certain applications - but about 70% of the flash content thats out there is not only sucky, but harmful.
4th of july motorcycle rally would seem apropos - lots of freedom-lovers of freedom, and certes - most clubs were started by veterans - just a thought. Thats kind of the point of the rally - to remind Capitol Hill that its *we* the people....
actually as I suffer from this; I agree wholeheartedly:) i'm six degrees away from normal - and usually right;) I also get "arrogant" quite a bit because of that. as long as they don't interfere I'm ok with a difference of opinion, and welcome a chance to see through somebody else's eyes/experiences.:)
biggest difference btw (imho) between genius and regular is that genius(es) see they can make a difference (alter their environment to suit their needs), most people think they can't (curve-fit to the environment, or their limited version of it); which (again imho) is worse 'cause that in and of itself precludes the ability to make a change.
as to putting smart kids with smart kids - sure the synergistic event might yield the cure for cancer - then again u might end up kneeling before your overlords;) I wouldn't presume to depend on human nature as a bar against the latter - and excluding any real value being placed on intelligence by society in general (at this late stage), methinks it would be the latter and not the former. Perhaps 'eccentricity' is just learning to navigate around/ignore the meat puppets*.
As to yesmen/slavish idiots, I for one dont currently need any cannon fodder (and value reasoned difference/motivations & creativity far more) so I avoid them like the plague. Personally I'm just looking for Galt's Gulch (or its equivalent) {read: to be left alone to pursue my own beatific vision/pursuits, preferably in the company of others who are in turn pursuing their own goals).
PS> reality checks are seldom "real"; personally I like to peruse fark.com for the outliers, and read as much about disasters/failures/bestpractices(& examples) and study problems from different viewpoints. It is rare for me to get an external reality check I have not already thought of, or considered (and either handled, or disregarded as sufficiently low in probability versus cost). When I do I invariably thank said person heartily:) I *love* learning something new or expert/non-obvious (relatively speaking).
* meat puppets may be too kind; in some cases its meat obstacles:P

I hate children, and will continue to hate children until you stop trying to get me to slaughter baby kittens.
Wait,
provision 1: Feed the hungry children. stop.I *could* propose a bill that says:
I said the same thing yesterday. I'm done with both of the parties. I'm voting either for an anarchist, or as close as I can get (libertarian).

Lord he's a scumbag - at this point, I'm saying screw you to both of the parties. They've lost my vote for the rest of my life.
steal from every organization that isn't black-listed.

Start a business - you know, like Americans used to do?
Sue the corporations on court for discrimination - can u say class-action?
