  1. Indeed. on Why JavaScript Is the New Perl · · Score: 1

    I second and approve this WTF statement and I read the TFA.

    I would say PYTHON and PHP 5 have a better chance at replacing PERL and emb_perl capabilities then javascript every will.

  2. I would love too see that but... on NASA Faces Rough Road In 2013 · · Score: 0

    There is a whole solar system right here that we have not even scratched the surface on. Im down for a permanent lunar base, its the best test testing bed we have for learning to live off the land off world. First thing needs to be general manufacturing capabilities with some science (miners, production engineers as well as science). Re-supply needs to seen as a nicety not as a necessity to be able to move on beyond the current pump and dump, one hit wonder (or failure) we currently use.

  4. What Plan?? on NASA Faces Rough Road In 2013 · · Score: 0

    As far as I can tell the "plan" has been too almost completely kill NASA and/or cut funding and just let the next administration deal with it. HSP and Science programs alike.

    Dont get me wrong, NASA is just about as bad as any .gov agency when it comes to money management, fixed cost spending and subed work to oblivion
    NASA subed too->
    Lockheed subed too->
    Brand x Management->Too x number of small, no name companies, started by former NASA execs and senator sons/former astronauts.

    The only real benefit has been the inclusion of new blood commercial entities (most people I dont think understand that COTS is really competition for soyuz, always has, always will.). The only reason they get the fan fare is because...this TAXI service is the only thing NASA has to show for itself after 10+ yrs (Through faults of there own and the govs, I dont plant blame squarely on NASA, there is more then just a linear story to explain the state of things today ).

    Disclaimer:
    1. Im not bashing spacex, orbital, blue and there acomplishments.
    2. Former CSOC contractor, I have insight into the land of crazy known as JSC.

  5. And if interested in meds I take enbrel entracept on Specific Gut Bacteria May Account For Much Obesity · · Score: 0

    50 mg, once a week. 4 shots in a box: $1400! If I had no insurance I would be completely cluster fucked. Enbrel is a COX2 inhibitor, it blocks a specific gene in the immune system that is linked to intestinal and arthritic conditions (chrons, RA, AS, and a few others). HLA118 If I remember correctly. I seriously think its directly related to my gut issues, what I cant determine is if its controllable via diet, or if its more like ulcers or a mcirobial "bloom" of some sort.

  7. As someone whe has had AS since 16... on Specific Gut Bacteria May Account For Much Obesity · · Score: 0

    I think there is alot of merrit to this. Some claim AS is largely due to a "leaky" gut, and can say ive always had lower intestine "issues". Especially when I was 16 and first started getting pains in my hips and neck. Alot of the times when I get an outbreak of aches an pains is usually when my lower intestine issues flare up as well. Then rapid weight loss afterwards. Ive lost 10 in one month before (and I eat well, steaks, potatoes, vegies, with an occasional whataburger or bk whopper). I've tried different diets, but none really seemed to point to anything I could determine from a diet perspective (wheat, cave man, veganisim), but im pretty sure its due to the micro fauna in my gut its always a warning before a flare up.

  9. I had no idea, I just read ridding rockets too. on Sally Ride Takes Her Final Flight · · Score: 0

    According to mike mullane the author and fellow astronaut, a lot of the guys (he admits most of them where planet ad primates like himself) thought she wore her feminisim like a chip on her shoulder. I guess being in the closet kind of explains that. Mike also goes on to say how shocked all of them where that she dated and married steve hawley in the first place. Since he was the biggest womenizer out of the whole group. He attested that to steves charm, but still it was shocking non the less. I got the feeling from his perspective he really didnt like her at all, and thought that judith resnik should have been the one to claim the first "title" since she actually stuck with the program (until she died on challenger). Anyway RIP, Ms.Ride. You accomplished far more then I ever did.

  12. Over price point but... Turtle Beach PX5. A++ Cans on Ask Slashdot: Best Headphones, Earbuds, Earphones? · · Score: 0

    Love these headphones, wirless, bluetooth, great sound depth, comfortable, batteries last about 8 hours. These headphones replaced my pc speakers, my tv speakers and my phone buds all in one nice package. I think they where about $200 bucks but well worth it. Great support from turtle beach as well. You can buy all head phone components...like, er, If your dog eats the microphone sock. Ordered replacement for 2 bucks, recieved in 2 days. Never going to another brand till I have a reason. I think the sound is comperarable to my friends bows, but his are much better for noise cancelling.

    They couldnt defy him before they developed no tech. I think the idea was letos prescience let him crush any opposition that didnt fall in line with the golden path. Ehh, they werent terrible. They where different then his fathers style, I actually liked the legends of dune books if you dig background info. I think his sons books where less dialog/internal monologe heavy and instead where more action oriented. The titans in particular agamemnon seemed like a complete bunch of morons. Im not sure if that was his intent, but they where the only problem I had with the legends books.

    Although I have met more male psychologiest then females though. Child care is a good one. Do you think a 24 year old dude would get the creepy face if he applied for work at a childrens daycare? Im willing to bet he would unless it was to be a grounds kepper or something. To take it to the extreme, there was a guy that sued hooters for not hiring him as a waiter based on his sex. Here. http://www.caller.com/news/2009/jan/13/local-man-sues-hooters-claims-gender-bias-seeks/ From the article: "Just as Southwest Airlines attempted nearly three decades ago with stewardesses, the waiter's position addressed herein is being limited to females by an employer..." the suit states If this happened to a women at any type of business there would be hell to pay for the company. Just sayin.

  19. Re:Has anyone asked them why they're not intereste on The Shortage of Women In IT · · Score: 0

    Im not sure about all of IT, but I have asked two women that where software devs at one point in time at my recent company. Neither one said they liked it at all, and both went in to more management roles (one was a qa lead and the other was my pm). Honestly I got the feeling that it was the constant need to problem solve was their biggest gripe. It is kind of strange now that I think about it, most women I have worked with where in more management type roles. Accountants/Financial officers, Project Managers, Assistants, QA, Customer Agents and Sales. Jobs with more strictly defined rules I guess....I dunno.
