I listen to Pandora because I HATE hearing the same songs or genres over and over again. I want to have a huge pool of a variety of music that I like that just keeps changing. I hate hearing the same thing over and over and over again. I love that with Pandora I can just keep feeding it music that I enjoy and it will help me to explore all sorts of new varieties of music I never would have imagined. Classical, rock, rap, eletronic, etc. etc. etc.
Ditto. Only I grew up watching cartoons on Cartoon Network all day in the 90s (I'm 18 now). I do NOT have a short attention span, in fact I've stopped watching TV now that I've gotten older because they won't stay on one subject long enough for me.
What I find silly is that I can walk into a store and purchase a R rated movie at 13 without ID, yet I can't purchase a M rated video game at 18 without ID on me.
Not to mention that he isn't claiming to be Einstein:
A year later, I met Crick again. The war was over and he was much more cheerful. He said he was thinking of giving up physics and making a completely fresh start as a biologist. He said the most exciting science for the next twenty years would be in biology and not in physics. I was then twenty-two years old and very sure of myself. I said, "No, you're wrong. In the long run biology will be more exciting, but not yet. The next twenty years will still belong to physics. If you switch to biology now, you will be too old to do the exciting stuff when biology finally takes off". Fortunately, he didn't listen to me. He went to Cambridge and began thinking about DNA. It took him only seven years to prove me wrong. The moral of this story is clear. Even a smart twenty-two-year-old is not a reliable guide to the future of science. And the twenty-two-year-old has become even less reliable now that he is eighty-two.
It's funny that this topic popped up on Slashdot. I read this other article today. I love the insight and debate that I'm exposed to when the subject of global warming comes up, so I figured I would share a related article.
Thank you for expressing your dissent, please continue to express your dissent, it will help me (homosexual), and in my humble opinion make you more like Christ than the hypocrites.
I have a few questions regarding the Bible and homosexuality, (I'm a former Christian, and I find what you said there conflicting with my understanding of the Bible) doesn't the Bible condemn lusting after another mans wife, sex outside of marriage, sex with animals, etc. etc. Based on my understanding of the Bible I don't see the Bible condemning someone for being a homosexual. Isn't the Bible more worried about action instead of attraction?
Wouldn't it be worse for a heterosexual to have a lot of sex outside of marriage growing up, than for a homosexual to abstain from sexual relations?
When I was a devout Christian growing up, about the time that I was really getting into Bible study, I was eventually introduced to the phrase What Would Jesus Do. I purchased a necklace with a little WWJD pendant, and I had a bracelet that said WWJD. Over the course of a few years I got into the habit of consulting WWJD throughout my day to figure out my action on certain daily issues... over time I grew increasingly disgusted with the Church, so called followers of Christ on television, my family, and my Christian friends. They taught me that I am supposed to follow in the footsteps of Christ, explained why it was so important, yet they put absolutely no effort into it themselves. You know what the god of the Bible thinks of hypocrites?
Anyway, I was in a mentality myself where I felt it would be better of me to just shut up, and believe on my own, and leave the "Christian" community alone. Now I regret doing that, I should have expressed my feelings to my family, my friends, my peers. I doubt the Christ of the Bible would just sit back and shut up about it, he would be telling them to change their behavior!
Well now I'm an atheist, and I think hypocrisy had something to do with it, it kept me out of the Church, away from hypoc-I mean Christians.
P.S. To any Christian out there reading this, please don't get defensive, I don't hate Christianity. In fact I still find it very interesting, and enjoy talking to Christians about it, and what specifically they believe.
I don't quite understand, is the problem that people are too lazy to read/pay attention to what is going on? Maybe that is why I hardly ever have any problems.
I'm a 17 year old kid, I listen to classical music. I'm actually right with all of you guys complaining about the crappy music being pumped out. It all sounds the same, it all sounds bad, the lyrics lack meaning, there is no variety. I do not go to the stores and buy music, but at the same time I don't pirate music. I get better quality music by downloading works freely available under Creative Commons than any of the stuff they want me to buy. There is a wonderful selection of Electronic music freely available at this website, I listen to this most of the time: http://www.8bitpeoples.com/index.html and this: http://www.jamendo.com/en/
I have noticed that in the US there isn't very much media coverage of Open Source Software. I for one would really appreciate it if they would start talking about it, it would make television much more interesting not having to only hear about MS software on TV.
There used to be a channel called TechTV that would occasional talk about Linux, and they would get help calls asking about getting into Linux, unfortunately they were bought out by G4. Grrrrrr...

I read an interesting review of what looks to be a great book on this very subject. I recommend reading it:

You just gave me even more justification for planning on never ever having kids.

Damn. You caught me.

At least give us some advice then instead of just correcting our ignorance. By the way I love the signature.
