I would rather have a shut in engineer who does the math right vs an engineer with a hangover from last night going ehh ill just sign off on it.
Yeah fuck those people who do things sometimes that arent 100% related to their jobs and may be self-indulgent. Why can't I sometimes be selfindulgent?? Oh yeah, because I'm a productive member of society. Unlike those morons lol look at them go out and socialize and have fun sometimes while "holding" a job haha they cant be capable at anything if they are going to bars when they aren't working.
A few serious points, MIT has high rates of suicide and I also hear about high rates of alcoholism (drinking alone in a room is much WORSE than going to a party and drinking). Also, your idea that every engineer who made anything ever did, will do and is doing nothing except engineering. No social life, no spouse, no kids, no friends no relaxing, just constant physics and math problems for you. I really dont understand your post at all, a hungover engineer signing off on a dangerous design.. sounds more like a character flaw unrelated to how they choose to spend their free time (and unrelated to their choice to have free time).
yeah but dude, aspbergers! its okay to not get outside and learn communication skills if you have aspbergers!
I knew a kid who really had aspbergers. It was a fuck of a lot more than being antisocial and into computers. Have you ever bitten someone and screamed and cried in front of the entire school because you were touched wrong? But were generally able to communicate your point in a way that, while monotone, was actually understandable and smart, proving that you werent too deep in the autism spectrum of inability to communicate?
This trend of self diagnosing aspergers and diagnosing others with aspbergers from your armchair needs to end. get the fuck outside and stop excusing your lack of social skills with a disease that you probably dont have
Since the Mac was introduced Apple has been a control freak company (except maybe the period when Jobs was booted out for a while).
If by 'control freak company' you mean 'extremely successful company', than by all means yes. I'm not really sure what point you are trying to get across here otherwise, but Apple is a successful company and you have a longwinded post explaining why they shouldn't technically be and insulting the very foundation that has taken them this far (Jobs).
You act as though Apple's marketing campaign is some kind of personal affront to your well being and that their success is unfounded and based in lies. What you don't understand is that the market is based in marketing, and Apple has found an image that works for them. Furthermore, this image has only benefited the company. Finally, having a marketing campaign and image is not cheating when it comes to commercial success.
Since you are on Slashdot, you can feel safe knowing that no one is going to call you out because the cynical groupthink of self-proclaimed nerds will always find some way to rationalize, whether it be describing a successful company as a failure or talking about how stupid it is the media focuses on white girls getting kidnapped (the vapid cunts deserved it right?)
Yeah doctors dont need wellendowed women offering their "product" because they can have their pick of the patients when it comes to copping a feel.. geez and you think they are immorally taking sides based on women??
i need to get a life? bro it sounds like you and your friends need to get some lives i mean fuck facebook isnt supposed to be life its supposed to supplement life to make it easier like knowing when to meet up with people and whats going on but i guess that concept is too foreign to/.ers who just cant get their heads out of their asses that a real world exists off of the computer and people who partake in it like using technology to assist them
seriously/. is full of luddites and everyone who says "im cool with email:smug:" is just like people saying "im cool with real mail:smug:" when email first hit the mainstream scene.. get over yourselves and understand that some people have lives and friends that are off of the internet and that until you experience that, your stupid perception of social networking (just like social anything) is fundamentally flawed and worthless.
No but you see the US sucks and stuff because of colonialism and the middle east and africa and every country in the world right now that's still recovering from occupation and furthermore,
Actually this has been joked about before around where I interned, because my boss developed an iPhone application called SitOrSquat and I actually implemented Google's API in it (he had made his own mapping system using MS tiles before 3.0 came out with Google support built in) and I also developed the signifigantly lagging behind Android version.
I'm not trying to whore but not only does the app exist but the exact same Costanza joke has been made before around the office.
Lol yeah totally dude because just like the Banks, the Jews were actually extremely responsible for the depression.. oh wait no sorry in America we get upset about the people who actually do hurt us, not scapegoat everything onto someone else
How was London a strategic target again? Because bombing homes and buildings within close proximity to homes would kill British civilians and cause many others to lose morale? I'm sorry but this strange contrarian stance in favor of Germany doesn't actually make sense because the axis was leveling civilian cities as well (London? Paris? Everywhere they invaded?)
No I wouldn't care if houseguests played my video games without permission. But the cops were acting like overentitled houseguests by taking advantage of their situation. Badly worded on my part.
I'm not quite sure its the idea they were doing something when they were working but they were abusing their search and seizure warrant to do so. See as how S&S is handled by the Bill of Rights and all, it's a bit bigger than browsing/. at work.
Going on slashdot at work isn't the same as getting a temporary, barely legal, hard to obtain right to enter a premise in a way that would generally be deemed illegal and then abusing this temporary power and right to do things outside the scope of your job with other people's property that you have no right or reason to be playing with. If a cop takes a cigarette break or something it would be like going on slashdot at work.
Haha you are all idiots, seriously next time the cops raid your place and start using your things like over-entitled house guests, you share that sentiment. When cops get permission to perform a search of a property, they are already at a point where not only are they being held to a very high legal standard to make sure they absolutely don't ruin evidence or violate rights in the process but they SHOULD be on edge the entire time not knowing who are what is going to be there. Playing the Wii is unprofessional and illegal. They were letting their guard down which is dangerous to them and making a mockery of one of their most hard to obtain rights; the right to search and seizure which only can be obtained with a lot of work or explicit permission. If you are in someone's home, right on the cusp of legality as it is, and start using their items, you are doing something wrong. On the hopefully rare occurrence a police officer has to be in someone's home on a search warrant, their mind should be focused on looking for evidence and not acting like they were invited there to party it up.
I think that for text books and other non-enjoyment reading stuff these things have potential. I'd love to have my text books and references guides packed onto a futuristic ebook. Hell the whole hitchhikers guide thing is just too cool, I'd love some sort of futuristic encyclopedia I can throw in my bag and get whatever I need from.
See, in glorious Nippon the land of anime and manga and technological development, no one can do any wrong. Japan is like the US but smarter, cleaner, better, cooler and has animation that knocks the socks off of American animation. Ignore the recycled footage loops and the abstract backgrounds in fighting sequences, it really is so much better! Also they have such a better sense of design than us. And pocky! And Naruto! And really cute NON-AMERICAN (BAH AMERICA LOL) plush toys and children's characters ^-^
So I guess what I'm saying is, who cares if their country raped thousands and treated their surrounding countries like shit finally ending in World War II? Who cares lol ^o^ They have such awesome cute edgy things and the otaku in all of us can agree that Japan should be 100% forgiven as long as Asian American grocery stores keep selling all those candies I really like so that me and my obese catear wearing friends can forever be satiated with sugar, 3 or 4 choice japanese phrases and smugness about our ability to dress up like idiots in public ^_^ ALL HAIL GLORIOUS NIPPON ^_^_^_^^_^_^_^
I mentioned Mao in front of this already maladjusted Korean girl I knew and she shouted "CHAIRMAN MAO" doing the little ^_^ with the peace sign fingers that dumbass people think is cute when azns do it but is actually the most fucking annoying thing on the planet probably to see in real life.

What if the news outlet doesn't do anything with the story for a few weeks though? I think it sounds cool and I doubt that would happen, but still.

Obviously, you haven't been reading about the dangers of cellphone radiation when in proximity to the male genitalia and reproductive organs
I bet she still didn't sleep with you though, but that was still a very friendly, chivalrous thing to do you little white knight you

Defense brings this up in court, jurors like you and me don't like the way the officer's behavior sits and boom they don't trust their testimony.
