    Dude I totally used to be like this and I totally respect people who choose this path, but let me let you in on a little secret: it doesn't make you better than everyone else in any way shape or form and your useless post in this thread implies that somehow, you think it does. Good for you, you don't use drugs. Stop spergin about it by freaking out if a RX is somehow going to distort your reality and ruin your purity and then bragging about your completely unremarkable choice on /. thanks :)

  6. Re:OK on Texting Toddlers, How Young is Too Young? · · Score: 1

    Cool. Toys imitating life are bad for children. Let's get rid of toy phones, toy cars, toy guns, toy swords, toy houses, to people wearing toy fashions and everything else. Toys are designed to imitate grownup life in an approachable and safe way. Children always want to do grownup things, it's how they learn and it's nothing new. Technology changes and thus the toys that imitate it change. This is absolutely nothing to be concerned about. On top of that, if one more person hears "Facebook" or "cell phone" and has to inject their own meaningless opinion into the conversation about how these things erode social skills and less people talk face to face or hang out, I'll flip. Anyone who says this has no grip on how these technologies are actually used and how they don't impede face to face interaction but make it more convenient.

    Umm good job you stupid fucking idiot.

    Hmm.. okay I think I understand now, but then how to you know what bits are correct? Isn't that what you are looking for?

  11. Re:Never had any luck with recovery on A Walk Through the Hard Drive Recovery Process · · Score: 1

    Also not to mention the whole filesystem thing, like how the data is stored and the pointers to the data and if it's fragmented, etc.. there are just so many reasons why guessing on the individual bit level makes no sense and isn't how the percentage of recovered data is measured.

  12. Re:Never had any luck with recovery on A Walk Through the Hard Drive Recovery Process · · Score: 1

    I think you're math is off... 1s and 0s aren't data in any way, shape, or form. There is no useful "data" at the user level stored in 1s and 0s. Data is chunks of 1s and 0s that make up stored files that are actually useful to the user, so having 50% of the file uncorrupted is not a possibility. Corruption is all or none, one bit is wrong and there is no data, the idea of partial corruption is illegitimate for all intents of purposes because any amount of corruption is the same, save for the fact "less" corruption may make recovery easier.

  17. Re:For the first time in a while... on Computer System Makes Best Sports Bets · · Score: 1

    Yeah but how are the ranks picked? I'm saying it came to the same conclusion which may not always be true. But like I said in an above post, maybe I'm wrong and the machine is more legit than that. I'm not claiming anything either way, I was simply bringing up the fact that the 4 #1 seeds were all final fours this year for the first time ever and how if the machine calculates rank, maybe its similar to how NCAA does?

  18. Re:For the first time in a while... on Computer System Makes Best Sports Bets · · Score: 1

    So in other words you're saying you think the computer just sorted by seed? That's what I did because I didn't follow the season. From my perspective picking upsets is dumb since I ONLY know the seed (I don't follow teams enough or sports enough to be able to predict upsets with any ability). My point simply was, IF the computer is going to consistently agree with the seeds for the Final Four, then this happens to be the one year where it worked. I have nothing to compare it to, and I am not saying this is the case. I was simply pointing out that the 4 number 1s have never been in the final four before. Maybe the computer figured out that those teams were, specifically this year, final four material and the algorithm is legitimate. Or maybe the machine would generally pick the 1 seeds because of its algorithm and got lucky this year since it's the first time for it to ever happen. I'm not claiming to know, I'm just bringing it up because I feel it's worth mentioning. Maybe I'm completely wrong, but I am not trying to prove anything, just start discussion on it's possibility.

  19. For the first time in a while... on Computer System Makes Best Sports Bets · · Score: 5, Insightful

    The final four were also all #1s in their league. Coincidence? This has never happened before I believe and if the computer calculates odds the way the teams are ranked, then this may not always be so reliable.

  22. Re:I thought it was due to the lack of women? on Does It Suck To Be An Engineering Student? · · Score: 1

    So...because he didn't decide to kill his sexual desires and/or sense of humor in a machine-like fashion in order to better himself as an "engineer" you think it makes sense that he flunked out? It really isn't fair to blame women for failure to succeed at all, in my opinion. I don't understand the whole logic behind disliking anything remotely social in an effort to cement the rest of your life before you are even 25. Obviously you should care about the future, that's a given, but in my opinion that entails more than just trying to get a 4.0 a job hookup. I want to meet girls and make friends so that when I do get my life together as a real adult, I'm not alone. Even if no one in college stays in your life (as a spouse or longtime friend) which is doubtful already, you still get the social experience which just makes it easier later on (when it only gets harder in general).

    Yeah that's what I'm upset about too. Tests. I'm a CS major and I know everything for the homeworks, class makes sense I feel really good like "wow I'm really learning this stuff, I've always wanted to know Assembler or how to do this in Java" etc. Then the tests screw me over and it's because I feel like I know it better than I do. I know it, but I don't have it down to the point where I can sit in a timed environment and safely answer questions about it with no outside help. Thus, tests are what screw me over even though I like to think I'm not stupid and I do know what I'm talking about. It really comes down to me needing to study more, plain and simple.
