    If you're asking all those questions, you should not be in that committee.

    Typical dumb-assed non-answer that both misses the point and is clearly ignorant of what a condo committee is.

    First: A condo committee is made up of condo RESIDENTS who are tasked with managing various aspects of the management of the facility. It's silly to expect that every condo has a network engineer in residence or on the staff. If a network engineer is required, they will *HIRE* one.

    Second: Why do people like you even bother with such remark? It adds nothing to the conversation, and pretty much makes you look like an argent asshat.

    Yes, it's a "cute" game, and I might play it *a few times*, but not too much more than that. It's a game that will get added to the MILLIONS of other games that people might pay .99 cents for and play a few times - before losing interest and finding some other little time consumer. Games like yours are like Solitaire and Minesweeper and such...

    Quality game design is extremely complex and takes a lot of "man-hours" to arrive at something playable. Those with the skills to do it generally want to be paid...

    Well, yeah, but Wikipedia is not Encyclopedia Britannica. These pictures are of people doing things that people do. The question might be "how 'gratuitous' is the image?"

  8. Re:What porn on What Should We Do About Wikipedia's Porn Problem? · · Score: 1

    It probably depends on how one is defining "porn".

    For example, if you look up ejaculation, you will see sever enormous well formed penises. One series is a set of stills that show the progression of a giant cock spewing copious quantities of cum, the other is a video of some guy shooting giant gobs of jizz like a fire hose.

    Some might say it's an educational depiction of exceptioally well hung guys doing something natural, some might call it "porn"...

  9. Really? on In America, 46% of People Hold a Creationist View of Human Origins · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Thereâ(TM)s a big difference between what people tell pollsters because they think thatâ(TM)s what they *should* say, verses what they actually do or believe. For example most people say they go to church on a regular basis, yet other polls say church attendance is down, and the truth is that most people sleep in on Sunday. Most Americans say they are Christians because they think itâ(TM)s the âoerightâ thing to say, but most probably canâ(TM)t accurately quote a single significant paragraph of the Bible, new or old, nor articulate any significant bible theory. The truth is that most people are basically agnostic.

    On another note, Slashdot editors, please stop using the word "stealing" for immaterial right infringements.

    TFA says that he burned it to a CD, so if the CD came from stock purchased by his employer than it is technically correct to say he stole the code.

  11. Re:I disagree with that. on IT Positions Some of the Toughest Jobs To Fill In US · · Score: 1

    I think it is easier for the hiring managers to evaluate "interpersonal skills" than it is for them to evaluate "technical skills". And since it is easier for them, they value those skills more.

    I think a good question might be "Why are non-technical "hiring managers" hiring for technical positions?

    3.The cryptoanarchist goes to Sweden; while in Sweden, he has sex with women who have connections to the CIA.

    There is absolutely no proof of this wild allegation.

    Most likely, it is simply a case of two jilted women who are pissed off that Assange slept with both of them in the style of a rock star.

    This bullshit about "CIA connections" with the ladies is paranoia and really unrelated to reality. It's tinfoil hat bullshit.

    Folks, women get pissed of about shit like this *ALL THE TIME*, the difference in this case is the *target* is famous.

    It's kind of like when I walked into a biker bar and said loudly "Well fuck me raw!", and seconds later some neanderthal in a leather jacket bent me over a pool table and gave me a serious ass pounding like I had never had before.

    Something like that.

  17. Christian Nation? on Another Afghan School Poisoned — 160 Girls Hospitalized · · Score: 3, Insightful

    And this is exactly where the US could be heading if the current 50% of the population gets any stronger. Rick Santorum was as scary to the US as Hitler was to Germany. If we let nutcases like that become president, which a large number of people supported, this will be common in the US as well.

    Most Americans do not really believe in religion, and only identify with Christianity because they think they should, and the certainly are not Muslims.

    The truth is that while many people are vaguely âoespiritualâ, most people no longer attend church regularly if at all, and only a small percentage of so-called âoeChristiansâ in this country can tell you anything at all about the Bible, old or new.

    There are people who bleat about this being a âoeChristian Nationâ, but statistically, factually, it isnâ(TM)t so. I donâ(TM)t think it can even be proven that we are a âoecertainly not a Muslim nationâ, either.

    We are mostly agnostic.

    What I don't understand is why a massive and technically complex piece of malware necessarily has to be written by a "nation-state"? There are no really smart hackers around that might want to do something like this for the challenge?

    There is no âoeshortageâ of women in IT since in fact there is no quota nor any particular class of IT job that specifically requires women, and so likewise IT is not âoehurtingâ for women.
