  1. Re:This sounds like a problem only for slackers. on (Over-)Measuring the Working Man · · Score: 1

    So, if I have nothing to hide I have nothing to fear? Besides, no one gives 110% every day. If they did, they'd be burned out in a year....

    Even giving 90-100% every day will also burn you out but i'd say in a only few months/weeks, you can't be productive always running at full capacity, we're human not computers, this is why we sleep, we need time to stop and take a break and even do something unrelated to work so that we can perform better when we are working (like when trying to solve a problem you're stuck on, it helps to go do something else for 15-20 minutes then come back to it.. seems to give a fresher perspective).

    Sadly....we never have and likely never WILL have any genius types running for president, as that they're too smart to get caught up and mess with all the BS that is politics....

    More likely that geniuses don't speak common enough or look best when on TV, and they certainly don't appeal to the common denominator that democratic politics demand.

    1. good for you for doing the right thing and dealing with it in a mature way, i understand how bad this sucks and you took the high road.

    But you like to get your moralistic whore-blaming thing in, so have a nice day.

    nice way to be blatantly hypocritical.

  14. Re:WoW is not a decade old game. on World of Warcraft's Next Expansion: Legion · · Score: 1

    i'd mod you insightful if i had points.. i think this sums up all of the comments so far that i've seen here... people bitch about it should be this or they should ahve done that, but at it's core is their inability to actually know what people want, the constant stream of love/hate from every change tells them nothing and they have no way to be truely objective about it since the only feedback that gets noticed is the ones that yell the loudest and they can never be satisfied.

  15. Re:PVP on World of Warcraft's Next Expansion: Legion · · Score: 1

    they took out twinks?

    IIRC they did at first but people bitched so they added a way to stop your exp cap manually so that pvp didn't give you xp.

    I think it might have been all in one update (adding xp for pvp players and the ability to turn it off).

  16. Re:Proposed solution is more sexist on Researchers: The Thermostat In Your Office May Be Sexist · · Score: 1

    i do too and use it daily, but when the office temp is 78+ all you feel is hot air blowing on you (in my case anyway).

    personal heater, mittens, stand up and move around a bit when you're too cold. as someone who is always hot, 75 will make me sweat... i can't take off any clothes, i can't have a personal AC, moving makes it worse.

    you have a situation here where one side of the issue has multiple responses to the issue and the other side has none.

    70-72 is too cold?

    the company that sells these say that the arrows are determined by testing the cables to determine which end to put the arrow on from the basis of best audio quality, this would denote that it is not from some special shielding or construction but pure bullshit.

  23. Re:Whenever something is being sold with a made-up on $340 Audiophile Ethernet Cable Tested · · Score: 1

    RAM has latencies that make overclocking possible by upping the speed of the ram past it's normal rating to match the OC of the cpu, so yah, gaming class RAM is legitimate if it has lower CAS latencies.

  24. Re:Error correction? on $340 Audiophile Ethernet Cable Tested · · Score: 1

    I have had the same rare chance of failure with Ethernet cables but weirdly enough i just happened to encounter such a failure last week, the cable looked fine, and it was transmitting but i was getting 40-50% packetloss, when i swapped out the cable the problem went away.. we had just gone through a cubicle shuffle and i believe the cable was handled roughly in the move and hurt the wires in some way.

    First time i have encountered an Ethernet cable "fail" without an obvious show of defect (broken plastic covering/wires pulled free of their crimping, etc).

  25. Re:Passed data with a ton of noise? on $340 Audiophile Ethernet Cable Tested · · Score: 1

    i've been listening to this ethernet cable for about an hour now and i don't hear any "noise". Should i be holding the cable directly against my ear or some distance away to allow the "noise" to come to full effect?

    so far all i've gotten is a tired arm and some sort of rash on my ear.
