    Right. Now tell us how long it's been since you watched a TV show. ("why do you think they call them programs?" etc. etc.) That's classic nerd pride, dude.

    Actually, gay rights rallies represent everything about America that the Terrorists hate. So camp around and make fun regarding 'those dumb Americans afraid of the terraists' at your peril.

    I really REALLY doubt that my nephews are ever gonna have the standard of living that my father has. Then again, he started working at IBM in 1956.... And they're now college graduates who can't find jobs.

    Why not all at once? In fact, why not start with the one who still has the power to do great damage, and then 'clean up' with those who have done said great damage in the past?

  6. Buying Into the Whole Scheme on The Neuroscientist Who Discovered He Was a Psychopath · · Score: 2

    Well, if you're going to buy into the whole scheme of quantitative analysis, that we are reducible to a set of statistics, it makes sense to surrender to the scheme.

    Particularly the part about his 'genetic history' contributing to his pathology is telling. Shake that rattle witch doctors. Use numbers the way a numerologist would.

  8. Re:Yes, no hmm on Should the US Copy Switzerland and Consider a 'Maximum Wage' Ratio? · · Score: 1

    I murmer to myself '$15 minimum wage' every time I stand in the line at McDonalds.

    Because if the minimum wage went up to $15 they could fire those incompetent fucks behind the counter and get somebody working there who could take an order. Hell, I'd probably take a part time position at McDonalds for $15. If it got those people the fuck out of the kitchen it would be worth it.

    We don't need to resort to jargon. Simply refer to it as what it is: Politicians taking stuff that isn't theirs to give to other people.

    Naw, he just read some paperback written back in the 80's that explained it all. You know, a paperback he bought at a thrift store.

    It sounds kinda, I don't know, "Scientific"...

    Sure, it sounds 'scientific.' But just Social Science, which is ideology cloaked in scientific jargon.

    Here's a textbook for you. So you don't have to start from scratch.

    Right. No extreme degree of anything exists. They are simply tendencies.

    Now, the long lines in more socialistic economies to buy anything at all not locally produced- they do exist. Try buying a large screen TV in Venezuela this coming January. You might be able to, if you're a member of the right Party. . .

    Groklaw was successful in the issue it was founded to pursue.

    Possibly she didn't want to become a 'March of Dimes' outfit. (The MoD was founded to defeat polio, when a polio cure happened, they became an issue-of-the-day operation. Organizers gotta organize, ya know.)

  15. Re:So.... on 2-D MMOG Glitch Released Completely Into the Public Domain · · Score: 1

    Glitch was so hands-on that it in effect was a managed, fully staffed 2-D animated chatroom. It wouldn't just be a matter of throwing up a server to recreate it.

    There was a reason it bled $500K a month to operate; part of that was hardware, but it was also a very hands-on site to run.

  16. Re:Another gizmo to be funded by taxpayers... on A Makerbot In Every Classroom · · Score: 1

    The money is going to new buildings and facilities. The local building contractors have a lot of clout with the school board, and they don't get to do nearly enough 'full price top-of-the-line' construction jobs for the private sector.

  17. Re:As a mechanical engineer... on A Makerbot In Every Classroom · · Score: 1

    There is now a sensor with a wireless link in each wheel hub in every new automobile. It measures tire air pressure and sends the status wirelessly to the car chassis computer. It spins round and round in the wheels. And it adds a significant amount to the cost of the car, and an even more significant amount to replacing the air stem in your car if it fails.

    Also, give me a fucking break.

  18. Re:Someone still has to design on A Makerbot In Every Classroom · · Score: 1

    The country is increasingly filled with parking lots laid out by people who 'know how to design.' That is: parking lots where it's a fricking nightmare to park your car because you have to navigate in and around all the islands and berms that probably looked so nice on the layout screen of the CAD program. The whole world is turning grotesquely baroque (please forgive the redundancy) because we have generations of empowered 'designers' who didn't have to do the low level work of implementing anything.

    You can't afford $99? For any decent programmer that's not even 3 hours of pay.

    That's $99 per year, to even be able to try coding for iOS. Plus, you need a recent/current Apple computer running the current MacOS to run the dev tools on.

    The Android tools are freely available and run on every commonly available desktop platform.
