And who is held up as virtuous?
The USA has only just turned an important page with regard to human rights and along with them the UK.

OK, call me dumb, but I don't get the leaving-it-in-gear thing. My take is that idling at 1000 rpm (or whatever) with throttle at minimum uses less gas than leaving the car in gear at 3000 rpm (or whatever) with throttle at minimum. Plus, in gear, with minimum throttle, the engine is slowing the car down and stealing your kinetic energy. That _seemed_ like an obvious rationale. I'm like, err, wrong?
Maybe your advice is the best in the world but, goddamnit, I'm _not_ gonna take any how-to-score-with-chicks advice from/. !!

Wow, that's one of the most cogent posts I have ever read on slashdot. Or maybe I just like the post because I agree with it. You seem to be replying to posts, so I will put a "you" in the question..... a question that is, of course, open to the floor.
Do you think there is any mileage in us altering/breaking/playing with our perception in order to better understand it?
ie. stopping physical machinary x, feels like y. Could that be a way for the turtle to better understand what an ocean is?
Was that which Leary and Huxley et al (and a large percentage of the general populace) trying to do a little more profound than a spacey-stupid-dropped-out-hippy thing?
"Lastly, I find this plea for help via the Internet rather odd. One might imagine that a well-educated person like mr. Volkerding should be able to find his way to proper medical care"
+
" typical symptoms suggests to me that mr Volkerding may not suffer from any physical abnormality at present"
= WTF?
Can you not hear yourself?? Text is a bad medium I know.... but still that comes across bad. You give an example of why someone might want to look to wider sources at the same time that you are ridiculing it.

Let's imagine an Uber for our jobs in a near future.
errr.... outsourcing, open source...
The 1990s........ that would be Windows 3, 3.1, 95 and 98.

It's human nature to look upon the misfortunes of others as something fortuitous for the viewer
That would be *your* human nature, not mine.

And that is insightful Slashdot?
