  1. well then on Mushroom Cloud Reported Over North Korea · · Score: 1

    im too tired to read everything, but dose this mean there will be a sequil to my faviorite movei of all time? "dr. stranglove 2: how i lerned i was fucked, and lived in a damn mine shaft?" hey, i'll go see it.

  2. Re:It is a learned behavior on Do You Thrive or Crack Under Pressure? · · Score: 1

    i know more people who are self taught, then learned it when they were young, to say you get it from your adolesence is like saying "all thouse messed up nam vets were run ragged before they were set off to war" ( wich only applies in good kubric films). i guess its just who i hang around with, but i see people change these habbits NOW , becuase they DECIEDED to Thrive and not wither. Yes , i am still in highschool, but at the point were the only real learnning is self taught.

  3. It's personal, its about perspective. on Do You Thrive or Crack Under Pressure? · · Score: 1, Interesting

    everyone has there own little quirks about how they work, thats why its so important too at least find wich catagory you fit into, too many morons out there are so uneffiecient becuase they can't even figure there own work habbits out.

    When i was younger, stress used to destroy me, a few times i just had breakdowns. kind of annoying.
    but recently, ive done a complete turn around, and work incredibly well under pressure. i guess im turnning into my father.

    I find i get the best work done when i'm stuck in the do or die position, not a lack of time, but that i know that i have to stick to my shcedual just to keep up. If i trip, i'll fall behind, and then theres nothing to keep me going.

    as a really overwieght friend of mine once said "the way i do the 1km run in gym? i prentend someone is chasing me in a mack truck! squeel piggy! " (yeah i dind't get the last bit ither...).

    my best memories ever (im not kidding), it a total rush i got by completeing a history project (worth 60% of my mark), in basicly one night, with the rest of my team. it was wonderful! typing non stop into the wee hours of the night, with a big smile on my face.

    the downsied, is now, with trival beggining of term work, its so hard to be motivated to get it done. i can waste alot of time with simple things that i don't want to do.
    i still do them though, otherwise i'll fall behind, but its unerving, when i already don't have enough time.

    The things we do, becuase were lucky enough to have perspective... jeez.

  4. Re:Entitlement minded parents are to blame as well on The Underground History of American Education · · Score: 0

    People like this, are reasons why i don't have faith in society. I live in a pretty rich neibourhood, but i lerned somthing very important recently : you want somthing, you have to figure out how to get it, and then take it. and if it dosen't seem worth it, you don't want it bad enough.

    i really question how these people live with-themeselves, unless your on alot of drugs, any one that can think for themselves will eventualy relize that you have to walk that path, so why not go uphill?

    i guess these people don't know any better, or never got a chance too.

    some times i hate people so much.

  5. Re:This idea has been around for a bit. on The Underground History of American Education · · Score: 0

    I thought that up once, i told it to my uncle, about how school, ( it was grade nine at the time), is not ment to learn, its ment to be a BS test, to see if you will bend over and take it. if you will, they'll give you what you want. right away, my uncle cursed at me, theatened to hit me, and smarten up. i started doing my work, i've been doing better. i still think im right.

  7. Re:Umm, Paradox? on Simulating the Whole Universe · · Score: 1, Interesting

    this is one of the fundemental problems with science today, the open system observation paradoxes.

    you cannot observe every single part of an open system, it is beyond you.

    You can see, cophrehend any closed system, if you have enough time.

    this is why physics can be so interesting, and frustrating, your dealing with half-assed solutions all the time, becuase there is no way, ever, you can create a fool-proof answer system. its always your beset guess, becuase you can't do trial and error for ever.

  8. it would be cool on Municipal Online Services Wishlist? · · Score: 0

    if they gave us full databases of public terminals, were they are, what there conected to. Oh, and also same with public hot spots.

    make a web map of them all, not a real map, a map of how they all connect.

  9. I rember when on A Sound of Thunder · · Score: 1

    ... i first hered this story. I rember the day, i remer the room i was in, i rember it all.

    it was 7 years ago, 6th grade, my english teacher took us all the way to the science labs just to read us the short story :P.

    he wrote the two diffrent sighns on the black board, with the second one covered up.

    i forgot the vary ending, the sound of thunder.

  11. Not in Work Force Yet on The Downside of 'Hypertasking' · · Score: 1

    I haven't been part of the main workforce yet, due to the fact im still in highschool. The problems we face with having alot of tech are similar, but for me, its a huge blessing.

    Personaly, im the kind of guy, who gets off on full focused crunch. Not that I don't plan ahdad (usualy), but i get the most done at 4 am. What happens when your working on a group project? somthing worth 15+% of your term mark?

    being able to deligate to my group members every 20 mins, and bounce off any thing new ive created, really helps, especialy when i can see the gain right away.

    For me, i wouldn't be able to get this stuff done, without these tools. I'd be sitting in my basment, at 3 am, wondering whats getting done, and what to do. Plus my spelling is horrible, and to have 3 freinds to check my work, is really helpful. (this is highschool, some peopls just don't sleep).

    To be fair, ive lerned i have to turn of my music when i really need to get some work done. the funny/hard part, is figuring out how difficult the work is, this is highschool, rember.

  14. This is what you do: on How Do I Disable My Gadgets' LEDs? · · Score: 1

    If you feel to much like a well-fare college student (you ARE GOING TO COLLEGE RIGHT?) , and you feel retarted using the black electrical tape ( i know i would), then just get ye'old screwdriver out.

    (btw, wouldn't the electrical tape be a fire hazard, or is that the whole point of it being electrical tape?)

    Get your screwdriver out, and open up assoretd devices. Now just unhook the led's, you can even just cut them off. See if it runs, if not, you can always just tie the new loose ends. i know i got my clock radio to work without any screen, or buzzer.
