Judaism has never been as apocalyptic or afterlife-focused as other religions, actually, because the Torah doesn't speak of Moschiach or the afterlife one bit. Also, the rabbinic sages argued like heck over what precisely those two things entailed: a perfect example of "two Jews, three opinions".
As a matter of practice, anyone suggesting using java to implement something should just have their tounge cut out and stapled to their foreheads. Before they're fired.
The people who come up with the Computer Science AP exam should therefore have their tongues cut out and stapled to their foreheads before being fired.
The idea is, having confidence in oneself implies keeping that feeling inside and letting it out only subconsciously or psychically, while the more negative alternatives imply letting it out more directly through your mouth and/or mannerisms and persona.
Pretty much true. Still, what's the point of flirting with any woman (or man, if that's your cup of tea) if you don't actually give a shit about them? Neither I, nor anyone else most likely, want a sycophant for an S.O.
I'm currently a hacker, lacking the formal training of a computer scientist. Even now I work on college applications to the Unseen University for that small detail.
And my problem with the IT industry not being receptive to innovation is that I'm not in it for money. I love hacking and CS-type-stuff, and I don't like this idea that I can obtain a university education for something I love, be good at it, and still be poor.
There's that stuff, and then there's the fact that nobody wants innovation in CS anymore.
Got a better language? Who'll use it if it isn't a variation on something they already know? Got a better form of networking? Who wants to rebuild their entire network stack? Got a better operating system? Who wants to port, and possibly rewrite, their applications?
In short, innovation in real computer science is hard, because nobody wants to rebuild entire systems from first principles just to use some marvelous new innovation.
Would you mind giving the AP Development Committee a call for me? I'd love to take my AP Computer Science AB exam in something other than Java Code Monkeying.
We already let people deduct charitable donations from their taxable income, why not charitable labor hours? Open-source is but one form of volunteer work, the others should get credit. People's labor is worth something, especially for a worthy cause.
What educated public? The current American educational system was designed from the beginning to dumb people down into good little factory workers and political sheep.

It means you're eating macaroni and cheese for dinner and can only turn the heat on every other month.

You mean like NeWS?
Our new Messianic overlord. With Duke Nukem Forever out, he surely can't be far behind!

Yeah, some people have this weird idea that one should have sex within a deep and meaningful relationship.
But hey, we're not breeding as fast, so we lose!

And yes, that's exactly how you should be thinking of any woman stupid enough to not see you as God's gift to them.
Don't we call that arrogance? At the very least, conceit?
Because we all know what happens to economies that don't actually make anything, right? They collapse, don't they?

Well for one thing, a lot more government regulations on who can sell what and work for whom and how.
And with "globalization", where exactly can I go to get out of the sweat shop?
This is the great lie of capitalism - that we participate of our own free will.
Wrong. The book itself will be left completely intact, but nobody will read it.
This tax-credit doesn't go far enough.

No, not really. The world food markets are designed to make a profit by feeding people. You get what you pay for in food quality.
You are, of course, right, but SSSSHHH! Don't let the libertarians hear you or they'll tear you to bits like zombies!

You know, we really should have Slashdot moderations in Yiddish... That'd give people something to blame Jews for.
Of course the ruling elite gets riled up! Seeing anything remotely related to sex reminds them of what they're missing!
It isn't cognitive dissonance or doublethink to them, it's simply a different definition of "free".
Republican/Economist definition of "free"
1.Available at no cost, ie: "gratis"
2.For profit or making much profit, ie: "libre".
Apparently I'll be drinking wine out of some people's entire universe tonight! Yum, Universe!
