  1. Re:A physicist's view on homeopathy on Bad Science Awards · · Score: 1

    All I know it's just works for me. I dont care if homeo is just a placebo or a form of psychotherapy. In fact I dont think I should now the exact mecghanism of how it works before using it. I dont think that the majority of people using allopatic (traditional) mdecine have the slightest clue of the biohemical mechanism behind it. I know that in the US its considered a quack science (though it used to be very poular before the witch hunts organized by the tradional doctors) but here in Europe 40-50% of doctors prescribe homeo medecine. As I said the only proof I need is that I'v been usimng it for nearly 15 years and it woked every time.

    Remember, RMS was against introducing passwords into the MIT AI lab, and when they eventually did it he sabotaged the system buy coercing users to choose a blank password. He even brags about it in the Revolution OS documentary.

    On the other hand one can safely identify a server running Debian by the stench of the 2.2 kernel

  18. Re:Where are Those Jobs? on The Full Outsourcing Discussion · · Score: 1

    This has nothing to do with hating jews. Even Israeli government agrees that critisizing the state of Israel != antisimetism. The statement is simply a protest against the new World order where a single superpower and its cronies can don anything to any country in the world whenever tyhey feel like it. BTWm its pretty obviois that a pro-US dictatorship is more attrative to US that an anti-us democracy.

    Choose proprietory software. Choose Windows. Choose a job. Choose a career. Choose a family. Choose a fucking big television. Choose washing machines, cars, compact disc players and electrical tin openers. Choose good health, low cholesterol, and dental insurance. Choose fixed interest mortgage repayments. Choose a starter home. Choose your friends. Choose leisurewear and matching fabrics. Choose DIY and wondering who the fuck you are on a Sunday morning. Choose sitting on that couch watching mind-numbing, spirit crushing game shows, stuffing junk food into your mouth. Choose rotting away at the end of it all, pishing your last in a miserable home, nothing more than an embarrassment to the selfish, fucked up brats you spawned to replace yourself. Choose a future. Choose life... But why would I want to do a thing like that? I chose not to choose life. I chose somethin' else. And the reasons? There are no reasons.
