Umm yea, getting up and not having to get dressed, not having to sit in rush hour, not having to stress about possibly getting fired, not having to care what you look like etc...
I think the best ever is the classic stay at home mom that doesn't get a thing done and expects the husband to help out with chores when he gets home.
If we provide for them, they need to put in a fulltime job of providing a better lifestyle for us.
Show me a half decent looking woman, reasonably smart, and willing to pull her true "equal share of the load" in a relationship and I'll think about getting married one day. Women want their cake and to eat it too, suck it up it's life.
1. Ditch the loser husband, if he can't provide for you then have him stay home and take care of the dogs and everything else. Nobody should be the breadwinner and take care of the house. Split up the roles, or find a real man.
2. This is Computers, it's a thinking career, you either need to learn how to adapt and grow or go apply at McDonalds as they do training there. IT is not a trained career, training is great but you should be able to use the docs and past experience to solve most of your issues.
And yes sometimes personal time is needed to solve problems, when you're an employee that happens. If you're a contractor (i suspect your not) then you bill for your training time and it's a non-issue.
The myth of a 40 hour work week died with the myth of 9 - 5 and paid lunches. The reality is almost all of us work 9 hour days minimum and companies will bleed you to death. Welcome to the modern world.... aren't you glad you got "equality" so you can work too??
hopefully anyone with half a clue building this system would make it so they can access the water like a camel suit and actually drink the water thus replacing the cantine they were already carrying.
Bah just wait till we invade Iran, thats going to be the real cluster fuck.
Afghanistan was our test scenario to invade Iraq
Iraq is our proving grounds of ideas for invading Iran
Hopefully we figure out from Iraq that it'd be much smarter to just Nuke the entire country of Iran then to actually invade it. Considering they have 7~8 million people in their "human wave" army, and 800k regular troops we're sure as f' not going in for a ground war.
If you're weak minded enough to fall into the lines of following religion, then it is a good thing because it gives you a structured environment because you're incapable of making decisions yourself.
This is what Islamic Radical pray on, people of not the brightest minds and are highly influentiable due to the violence they've already seen can be coaxed into becoming human bombs.
Like it or not but the vast majority of humans are essentially cattle, non self-deterministic people of the masses that require structure and being told without question what to believe. People can and are on a daily basis trained by those who are smarter / more corrupting then they are, look at Hitler in the past, he basically goose stepped the army till they couldn't think anymore and it was just "natural" to them. Even though it is a completely insane way of marching, it was effective in control.
People like to conform, while I agree with the poster in that people shouldn't be allowed to force their kids into this brainwashing, I also must disagree as I see some of the values the church teaches being benficial.
For back reference, I went through 12 years of my life in private Roman Catholic Schools. Am I religious? No. I was distant from my parents and only my mother was religious and I questioned every bit of it from day one. The generosity that our churches taught us as kids and some of the basic morals we're good to see re-inforced, look at the "10 commandments", they're all things that society as a whole does not agree with in general.
I spend most of my day playing solitaire... and mild pr0n usage... only the days when the hot secretary isn't there to bend over in front of me all the time... mmm yummy:)
The group team environments are horrible, nothing more I hate in this world then working in an open room with a group of people. I like my privacy and quiet. I'm 2x as productive in my private office with my headphones on then I am in an open room. Team working doesn't work. Peer review every once in a while is good. Collaborative code environments are great, automated build & testing systems are great. Sitting next to a f'in moron who's going to ask me questions every 3 seconds... not good. But thats why you become team lead, and fire the morons.
Work from home? Yeah I did that before... wake up... yawn.. look works here, going to sleep at night oh look works right here. It blurs the line between professional & personal lifestyles, which is not healthy at all. It saves on travel costs, but the productivity sucks and the professionalism goes way down hill. Move closer to work to save travel time & costs and still be productive.
I do no work from home anymore, I prefer to leave it at the office. My home computer is filled with recreational material not.NET & PHP everywhere.
Back to coding tools to help my minions work faster & smarter, I still need to strangle the idiot consultants that keep wanting to add 3rd party tools to my workflow. Why have developers on staff if you're going to outsource the world.
I know piracy is a big concern, but as a PC only gamer I really do hate missing out on a few great titles.
By a great margin do I prefer PC gaming mainly because of not having a pile of generations of hardware to replace constantly and the ability to download / update games with patches & fixes etc... and adding content
I don't care how great a console gets, I got over a grand into my computer why do i need another grand sitting under the tv??
Why do we still use solar panels?
on
NASA's New Shuttle
·
· Score: 2, Interesting
Can anyone explain why we are constantly still using friggin solar panels?
I understand they're renewable energy and I think they make great backup generators.
But umm how about a nuclear reactor instead please? Something to make some serious power.
Also if you're sending a lunar lander thats going to leave part of itself behind why not design it in a modular fashion to become part of the lunar base?
Nasa needs a better lego's set, if supplies can be autonomously launched to the moon why not send everything you could ever need there to try to build a base? "maybe one day make methane" on the moon... ok so send every possible way of making methane up there and have one of the astronaunts test the idea
Drop off a lunar rover etc..., how about dropping off something to grow plants in to make some food? Something to make oxygen? I mean really quick, cheap, dirty concept works great... who cares if we litter the moon with stuff? Nobody's been there in 30 years, if some stuff breaks on landing well we'll scavange from it, fire up the replacements scotty.
That is an interesting way to think about it that I hadn't thought of.
Google is very odd with their math on their search results. Adwords consistently annoys me as they refuse to allow advertising for some content. Like what we sell is perfectly legal detox products but we can't advertise with google for our site:
If thats the case why not put people in a disease free bubble (See movie bubble boy for reference), post facto of the aids killing till u rebuild the immune system?
but who gives a fuck about third world countries AIDS rates??
Let them fuck like rabbits and kill each other off.
Would be nice to cure America of all instances of it and most of Europe. Which makes me wonder why didn't we infect foreign countries with disease anymore? We did it to the indians...
And it didn't meet content guidelines for adwords, so not just saying no to adwords, they ripped us out of google completely including the google directory when all we wanted to do was advertise and we'd gotten half our hits from google for last several years.
Some pay back for trying to give them money on to advertise on how to pass a drug test.
We should be spending more time on having lives then working!
7:30am - 6:30pm is insane, assuming you go for the required 8 hours sleep per night lets do some math: 24 hours in a day -8 hours sleep -1 hour travel time for work -11 hour work day -------- 4 hours left for personal life / eat / clean
I'm sorry but I don't think only 16% of my life should be mine.
Slashdot Mirror
Congrats! You're supporting a society that has more people not working or giving a damned then those that do.
I salute u mr. average urbanite american!
Now if only the rest of this country worked hard, we could live on half the taxes we have now.
Raising kids is harder???
Umm yea, getting up and not having to get dressed, not having to sit in rush hour, not having to stress about possibly getting fired, not having to care what you look like etc...

2 problems

dual use items like this would make great sense

this is another dupe story that was talked about a few weeks ago...
apparently the editors are stoned on friday nights again
Almost all HDTV bigscreen's have DVI...
:P
Hell I've got one and my last console was a friggin dreamcast...
Now I just need a long dvi cable to run all the way from the computer
Religion is a necessary evil.
Religion is societal control.
If you're weak minded enough to fall into the lines of following religion, then it is a good thing because it gives you a structured environment because you're incapable of making decisions yourself.

As a programmer I take offense to this...
:)

They do make money off of you, in what they charge the merchants silly.
Nothing is for free in life, I own my own business trust me I know who lines the pockets of the cc companies and it's not the end user.
Tell me you're joking
... yawn .. look works here, going to sleep at night oh look works right here. It blurs the line between professional & personal lifestyles, which is not healthy at all.

Why do such great sexy games not come out on PC?
I know piracy is a big concern, but as a PC only gamer I really do hate missing out on a few great titles.

And we know you don't have a mega-lift air balloon just 99 red loof balloons
That is an interesting way to think about it that I hadn't thought of.

http://www.drugpasstest.com/
bad side effect...
page 1 & 2 search results will firmly become engrained there by this method as everyone clicks on the top few results normally
Thanks for the compliment :)
How do u think I afforded college?
I heard your sex change operation is almost paid off, congrats ya butt pirate
Quit fucking 3rd world prostitutes...
You can pry my gun from my cold dead hands...
I welcome the fight
Yeah but it feels soo much better without...
;)
but you probably don't know that yet
If thats the case why not put people in a disease free bubble (See movie bubble boy for reference), post facto of the aids killing till u rebuild the immune system?
Not to sound like an ass...
but who gives a fuck about third world countries AIDS rates??
Let them fuck like rabbits and kill each other off.
Would be nice to cure America of all instances of it and most of Europe. Which makes me wonder why didn't we infect foreign countries with disease anymore? We did it to the indians...
Lets be honest, how do we find 99.9% of our products?
We search for what we want or we stumble upon it in a store.
Rarely does a TV commercial catch me or a google adwords ad.
Oh and google adwords is evil! We signed up to advertise our site
http://www.pass--drug--test.com/
And it didn't meet content guidelines for adwords, so not just saying no to adwords, they ripped us out of google completely including the google directory when all we wanted to do was advertise and we'd gotten half our hits from google for last several years.
