  11. Re:you should not have answered that question on Student Faces Expulsion for Facebook Study Group · · Score: 1

    1) Portuguese, currently living in Denmark. It might have been a typo (I'm not yet used to this new laptop keyboard so, sometimes I accidentally skip a few letters). But many times it's actually because of the dyslexia, it happens a lot me, both when reading or writing, skipping letters, syllables, words, and it has happened to complete sentences. It sucked when I had exams, because occasionally I would not see an entire question and would skip it altogether...

    2) it does take work, but sometimes it's just impossible. I still read it as if there was no mistake there. If I'm reading out loud for other people to hear, without attempting to understand, I read it perfectly. If I read to myself to try to understand it, I get lost. the worse part is when doing some coding, but with time I ended up evolving a very strict code formatting convention that has indeed helped a lot.

    3) don't know what to answer to this one :P

    1) I'm not a native English speaker
    2) I'm dyslexic. I can see the error now that you pointed it out, but I wouldn't notice it for myself ever
    3) This is /.! If the old saying is "in Rome, act like a Roman", than I have to do it CmdrTaco's style.

  15. Re:Average psychologist on Psychologist Beating Math Nerds in Race to Netflix Prize · · Score: 1

    If you notice, the one's that are ranting about him are people that happened to read the article and noticed that, in fact, that he is not just a simple psychologist as the article seems to want everyone to believe. He actually has experience and education on the subject, like operations research, and having worked for major IT companies, and not just a psychologist. It is cool that one single is climbing up, jumping in front of complete teams. But please, don't try to make him a god or more hero than he actually is. It just looks like a publicity stunt -> I'm not actually accusing it of be a publicity stunt, I'm just saying it looks like.

    Kudos to him for managing to get that far, but anti-kudos for those who exaggerated and painted a pink picture of the facts.

    you're modding me down, but if you notice, the equivalent of what Radiohead and Reznor are doing has been further away from happening than it is today. It was a joke, yes, but still, there are some points worth comparing.

  20. Re:Yeah but... on United Tech Bids $2.6B for Diebold · · Score: 1

    OTIS is already a lousy company (at least in Portugal, their maintenance services are the worst I have ever seen and their products get broken frequently). With Diebold, now, two bad companies would be under the same umbrella. I have heard of the other two companies, but I have no reference to their quality whatsoever. So, what will this turn out to be for United Tech?
