I want to know if this stuff is tax deductible? If so, how can I prove it? Working as a consultant I wouldn't mind at all donating a tax deductible portion of my services back to the vendor of the software I use.
It was a joke. I'm often here on Fridays too. It's based on the idea that some sites are a bit more stable with their audience, sites like slashdot that cater to particular users, form a viewer ship that is more committed to their social network. In some ways it makes us kooks, in other ways it makes us professionals, but we all have one thing in common, this website and the content that brings us in. I guess the article didn't discuss sites like slashdot compared to sites like myspace. I haven't read it. I was just trying to be funny. Anyways, compatibility is a strange thing and doesn't always mean what people think it does. A woman that is not an intellectual is a far sight better than some others out there.
Yes, the failure cascade hit slash years ago, fortunately by catering to losers, the site simply found a market so desperate that they would not leave, even on a friday night (not lug night though, that's for my real friends).
I think he's referring to a Scientific and technological utopia, which does not list peace as a prerequisite for a "space age". It simply assumes that technology will replace resources traditionally scarce, forming a Utopian society (such as star trek). The thing here is it has never really worked, is the US a Utopian society, hell no, not by our standards.
you're insane. maybe when citing a notion thousands of years old you should ask yourself why it is we don't practice human sacrifice, and burn scientists at the stake.
If this is a rational world, why would rational women read cosmo? Why would rational men read maxim, look at playboy, or watch the man show?
Anyways, time for an assumption, given your wife has a PHD I would postulate that you too, have at least reached some manner of success in your career, education, or business. If not, you're probably good in bed and she's quite a bit older. Presuming gigolo gold diggers post on myspace not slashdot, I guess you both have achieved a nominal degree of success in at least one area of your lives. I assert this leaves the both of you with a predisposition for at least marginal success, if not happiness in love. You are not Mr. and Mrs. Joe & Jane A. Verage and Love is never necessarily rational.
Women often claim that "men are dumb" or things like "all the good ones are taken" or whatever. At what point do these idioms of dating angst become misogynistic? Is it really when we're talking about a movie where two nerds have trouble with the opposite sex and decide to build their own girl?
I've always thought that too, here Microsoft's response to an Open Source advantage (developer feedback and involvement) seems to have led them to tell their developer community that the bottom line is more important than the community's view of a good tool. Meanwhile OSS should pick up some slack, while M$ sits around waiting for developer feedback to become profitable.
to quote the article:
"Yeah, and so I don't know where Dean is in terms of if he's willing to commit what's in IE8 and what's not in IE8. In terms of standards support, he'll see that it's a glass half-full. It adds a bunch of new stuff we didn't have before, it doesn't add everything that everybody wants us to do," said Gates.
Here he effectively says "we'll make sure to add features, maybe not the ones you want, but we'll add features. when we start on IE9 we'll pretend to care about your opinion again"
This is simply hubris, Microsoft is completely blind to the large piles of software building up, that is actually a bit better than what they offer. On top of that, they copy the OSS model, invite the developer community in only to ignore them because they will ask for what they want and "Microsoft knows better". Hey Bill, they're called "Standards" because the community has decided to standardize on them, or was that request for feedback all bullshit?
Personally, I prefer moderations like this, as opposed to 100% troll, or even 100% insightful. Hell the other day I was modded troll into oblivion because I disagreed with the "group think of the moment". I don't care, even weirder it's really hard for me to understand why only a few people saw what I saw, that doesn't lead me to think anything was unfair, I just kept on pressing my views, and they weren't popular (shit I might even be wrong, but at least people know I'll pursue something till I understand it). Anyways, moderation, karma, popular opinions, it's all politics, a politician that never loses an argument (or in our case is always moderated insightful), is simply a dictator. If anyone has a real problem with moderators, they should meta-moderate, problem with the firehose, go vote, welcome to open source news.
What the hell is a no truck road? I live in Oregon and I swear I have never in my life seen a no truck road. I think in a situation like this it's time to build another road.
So, I'm bitching about something that's in the works then, sorry. It's more complex than I imagined, looks like there's a lot to balance out before you get the full affect of a newer education style. I guess I can see that in my own kids, we always made sure they could have help learning, they're smart little buggers, but they're kinda spoiled with attention too. Anyways, thanks for the answers, I obsess over psych problems I don't understand, it completely blocks me from learning how to ask questions proper. (actually I tend to obsess over problems I don't understand in general, it just causes problems for me in some areas) If I remember correctly, the vocabulary idea was that each word basically represents an intellectual concept(?), so a higher quantitative vocabulary represented a higher ability to process concepts. I guess that's what the tests work on, developing a definition for that vocabulary. See I get so worked up over this stuff, I should have known better.
If studying learning skills don't change your IQ score, how can anyone say it's beneficial to study them? Basically, how can they say studying metacognition is good, if it doesn't affect the main method for testing metacognition? Seems to me either learning to learn doesn't work, or your IQ score is less static than it is made out to be.
A sixty point jump would be truly remarkable, profound even, but I think ten points is worth going after. I guess my big issue is the way intelligence tests are used mostly to indicate a problem, rather than being used to teach learning skills. I also read once that the best indication of intelligence was vocabulary (maybe you have some input here), which makes a lot of sense to me and can definitely be improved. Do know why learning skills aren't emphasized with kids of normal or better intelligence? I don't mean to be a bother, but that question drives me nuts.
Geegads, you realize how hard it is to have smart kids? You know I used to wonder how a kid could wind up swallowing a magnet, till my son (the budding physicist at five) showed me the magic trick of "sticking" pieces of metal to his cheek. That last section you've got there made me smile, smarter kids do some crazy sh*t. Funny thing is I'm a little scared, of how far this could go, ya, see he's convinced that if he learns enough science he can grow up to be like Spiderman or figure out the "Powers" of any given X-Man (they all go to college ya know), if he's ready to eat magnets at five, what will he be into a few years from now? - lasers, tractor beams?
another funny thing about this is the IQ test, highly regarded among psychologists, it works under the premise that there isn't much you can do to change your IQ. This study seems to conflict with that idea. (I actually got pretty agitated with psych teacher over this, if I know 90% of average knowledge for my age, why can't I spend the next few years LEARNING MORE and get to an average 100 level IQ?)

you didn't read a single link in the parents post, did you?

first we need time traveling dinosaur hunting people to go back in time and deliver the virus, hey wait a minute...
I for one would like welcome our new time traveling, zombie, dinosaur hunting overlords. (don't eat me)

Ok, so you're right, but you didn't have to call me a freak.
Found it it's like a failed decision support system that still works because there is no viable solution.
Looks like the author is Cory Doctorow

I always thought a few bad meta moderations made it more difficult for you to receive moderator points in the future. Same thing isn't it?
I guess the difference is all the craziest roads I've ever been on have specifically been logging roads, where trucks drive all the time.
here's his moderation:
Personally, I prefer moderations like this, as opposed to 100% troll, or even 100% insightful. Hell the other day I was modded troll into oblivion because I disagreed with the "group think of the moment". I don't care, even weirder it's really hard for me to understand why only a few people saw what I saw, that doesn't lead me to think anything was unfair, I just kept on pressing my views, and they weren't popular (shit I might even be wrong, but at least people know I'll pursue something till I understand it).

RMS seems to do a good job of it, so yeah "everything must change to suit me"
