Alone. Everyone knows that quality developers work best alone, in a quiet or otherwise musically suitable environment. It is convenient to have other developers close if you need some actual conversation or questioning, but sitting at a round table sounds like bad news to me.
The funny thing is, in terms of function, nose picking is not only acceptable but mandatory. Society just prefers that we not allow anyone to see us perform this action. Possibly even funnier, society prefers us to expel the items in our nose all over the damn place, rather than carefully removing the unwanted material. Kinda gross, I know, but still odd to me.
You don't have to be raised in a ghetto to be affected by the oppression that all minorities feel. There's plenty of well educated minorities who grew up middle class who deal with bigotry and oppression every day. Just because Obama does not fit *your* stereotypical ideal of an oppressed black man does not mean he abandons the right to speak out as a person who is affected adversely as a minority.
Secondly, I do not agree with all that Obama does, but I do generally support Democratic candidates. Why is that my intellectual and emotional support for the 1st black president has to be pigeonholed as some type of religious messiah seeking? Is my general support of Obama as a leading American figure different than the views held by many conservatives of Ronald Reagan? Liberals may disagree with the love conservatives have for Reagan, but we do not simply dismiss it as the seeking and following of a messiah. And on top of all that, liberals are the intellectuals, conservatives the emotionals. So who the hell are you to scream messiah?
Fucking same thing for me haha. I thought they were going to show evidence that the food one drops on the floor is in fact *not* safe within 5 minutes, only within 2.
This is the type of shit that pisses me off. Very, very few of us "blacks" are 100% African anymore. Being black in America is not a position to which one ascends, it is a position to which we have been assigned due to not being white. If you removed all the blacks who have any Anglo heritage from the US you would be left with immigrants fresh from some African country. I can't even find the words to express how sad ignorant statements like these make me.
It is amazing how accurately you just described many of my days coding, writing, emailing, etc... I feel exactly the same way, after a while of switching tasks in some sort of round robin fashion I am left not wanting to do any of them at all.
Just a note that certain sites like wowmine.com and ign are reputable, at least in my experience of purchasing 3k gold over 3 different occasions. Got my gold quick, with no account loss or anything,
For the last fucking time, most poor urban people didn't leave becasue they FUCKING couldn't. Welfare checks werent coming out for another 3 days when the storm hit and they dont have cars. Jackass
I am so sick of this idea that the people who suffered through the hurricane in NO were somehow ignorant and should have left whent hey had the chance. Dont you realize, THEY HAD NO FUCKING VEHICLES with which to leave. I'm sure there are a number of residents who were in fact stubborn and just decided not to leave. However, the majorioty of people who didn't leave are residents who *lived* in an urban society where public transportation is the norm. As such, many of them had no means by which to effectively leave the area. Furthermore, many of those people were on welfare and as we all know, those checks come on the 1st of the month. Since the hurricane hit just prior to the 1st, even if they had wanted to leave NO on some other form of transportation, they didnt have the money to do so. You igonorant assholes, very few people willingly put their lives at risk. Stop this "they should have left when they had the chance" crap, its BS and u know it. I'm sure my rant is full of mistakes, consider those the guage by which you measure by anger.
As far as I'm concerned, WoW has taken away my urge to play most other games. I still play GTA if I wanna shoot some people, but generally all I play is WoW. Many of my friends are the same way. I'm sure eventually WoW will lose some of its appeal, but until then, you can find me in Azeroth.
"You don't have liberty without security, so what's the point of talking about preserving all your civil liberties when you're not free anyway? In reality compromises must be made to maximise freedom."
Bullshit. One does have liberty w/o security. Where did u pull that shit from, your bag o democratic bullshit? Liberty doesnt have a thing to do with safety or security, it just implies that you are freee to do as you wish in _most_ circumstances. Just cause a terrorist may blow something up when I'm riding on a train, doesn't mean I've lost my liberty. If there's a 100% chance I'm gonna die taking this airplane ride due to terrorism, I still have liberty to either take the trip or not.
Bottom line, liberty in no way presupposed security.
"Ìt's good to see businesses actually try and use the advantages..."
shoule be "It's good to see businesses try TO use the advantages..."
One can not try, which precludes either successs or failure, and then "use", which implies success, at the same time. When did this mind bending use of the language become acceptable? Professional journalists use it these days too. Man, this shit sux

I agree. As Dijkstra said, "Computer science is no more about computers than astronomy is about telescopes."

Definitely in Argentina.

Funniest thing on Slashdot in a while. I'm still laughing uncontrollably, and your post is cool too.
On a side note, I wish more people were as smart as you in realizing that one's gut is not a credible source. Well said sir.

One can only imagine the psychological effects of a black background for hours a day over many years.

I know that Comcast does not, universally, block port 80. Just a side note.
Ah, Bubbles, the smartest of the bunch.
Bump Key? That would be the key on a keychain that one uses to take a bump. Remember to dust it off.

But who cares if the guild system rules so long as your guild runs MC every week. Am I right, or am i right?
Irregardless....tisk tisk. Not a damn word.
Mod this guy up, this is progress, i like it.
