"First of all, you cannot train folks to multitask because humans are incapable of doing it. "
The research says we're not very good at it, at least not good enough to justify doing it at work.
It doesn't say we are "incapable" of doing it.
I'll never understand how you people can take something so simply stated and obvious, and completely misrepresent it as you have here.
I have to conclude that you're either not bright enough to read for comprehension, or you enjoy actively distorting reality for the purpose of making a point.
Funny how you conveniently ignore the law, which is the only measure of adulthood that matters.
And as a professional cognitive scientist, please stop lying about what we say regarding adulthood and then linking to a WASHINGTON POST article as though it proves anything other than the fact that you have no idea what the fuck you're talking about.
"Computerworld magazine cited the view of the RealClimate blog that what was not contained in the e-mails was the most interesting element: "There is no evidence of any worldwide conspiracy, no mention of George Soros nefariously funding climate research, no grand plan to 'get rid of the MWP' [Medieval Warm Period], no admission that global warming is a hoax, no evidence of the falsifying of data, and no 'marching orders' from our socialist/communist/vegetarian overlords."[18] The science historian Spencer R. Weart, interviewed in the Washington Post, commented that the theft of the e-mails and the reaction to them was "a symptom of something entirely new in the history of science: Aside from crackpots who complain that a conspiracy is suppressing their personal discoveries, we've never before seen a set of people accuse an entire community of scientists of deliberate deception and other professional malfeasance. Even the tobacco companies never tried to slander legitimate cancer researchers."[41]
And the apparent lack of transparency regarding the code, I submit that the researchers under fire be asked to use the code in question to reproduce their results under observation, explaining how they did it.
The major problem with Symbian is that it's difficult to develop compared to the operating systems it competes with, or so 'm told by a developer friend.
So, what's being done about that? If the answer isn't"something significant" then I find it difficult to believe that essentially copying features that other OS's already have will be sufficient.
Have you ever been rejected for family medical coverage because your child had a urinary infection once, and a test to make sure it wasn't serious? I haven't.
Fixed that so you're not a liar anymore.
Why do you people think the public is so naive that any old lie like yours will convince us?
I mean, apart from the nuthuggers that modded your post up despite it being neither insightful not informative, even if it weren't also an obvious lie.
You're mistaken. You are in fact a raging dork, evidenced by the fact that you choose to bore the fuck out of other party guests with inane math-nerd-blabbering.
Seroiusly, you think people not wanting to discuss inane math-nerd-blather AT A PARTY is some measure of anything other than how incredibly boring the stuff you choose to talk about is?
The correct question is how to teach people it's value.
Don't go to parties and talk about "whether mathematics is invented or discovered" as a start.
Honestly, I don't get how you can genuinely think your point about boring the fuck out of people has anything to do with the state of science.
"Ars Technica has an interesting look at the recent book Unscientific America: How Scientific Illiteracy Threatens Our Future, a collaboration between Chris Mooney, writer and author of The Republican War on Science"
I stopped giving a fuck about this story right there.
Sorry, get someone credible and I might think your article isn't a steaming pile.
"Watch the videos on foxattacks.com where they show plenty of clips from FOX to demonstrate how belligerent, biased, and disgusting they are as a 'news resource'."
HEY PERSON WHO HAS SHITTY READING COMPREHENSION, PLEASE SHOW ANY POST BY ME THAT IN ANY WAY CLAIMS FOX IS NOT BIASED.
I went YOU because you though your pathetic ad hom crap was worth posting, not because I have any love for FOX. No surprise though, that you reply to my criticism of your original post full of fallacies with another post full of fallacies.
GET IT NOW?
Now you (hopefully) understand why your post was worthless.
Only ignorant fools actually watch the channel and think it carries weight anyway.
Only people with no rational argument rely on ad hominems like "ignorant fools" when they attack sources they don't like, because they can't form a real argument and aren't intelligent enough to debate the facts.
It must be very difficult for you to have something you want to say, but be too lacking in intellectual capability to do so without making yourself look like you're mentally retarded.
He is quoting a comedian for basis/guidance on serious issues. That cannot be good.
If you had any idea who Carlin was or what he did, you'd kill yourself now, because you just made yourself look like a colossal fucking idiot.
Hint: Swift's "A Modest Proposal" was comedy too, so the lessons learned "cannot be good" I guess...
God you're a fucking moron, first you hypocritically attack someone for not backing their posts with acts while int he VERY SAME post you TOTALLY FAIL TO BACK YOUR ASSERTIONS WITH FACTS, then you make a fool of yourself by posting your ignorance of social commentary in comedy.
Really, stop posting, you're not informed, honest, or smart enough.
"This doesn't include the $1200/month in health insurance costs I pay on single workers, or up to $2500-$3000/month I pay for married workers with a family. Throw in our 401k fees (all that the business shoulders) as well as the 401k match, and it gets pretty close to the number I specd pretty fast. Try to not come off as such a tool next time."
Yeah, either you're a really dumb business owner or you're lying.
"Yes. But there is no "common location and format" laws. All of this data is already available on each state's government's website (or at least should be), but is scattered all over, in completely different formats even within a given state."
You keep makiing these moronic assumptions then arguing as though they are gospel.
NO DICKHEAD, I DO NOT THINK MOST OF THE MONEY WAS USED FOR DATA COLLECTION A COLLATION, PROVIDE A SOURCE THAT PROVES YOUR IDIOTIC CONTENTION OR ADMIT YOU'RE MAKING SHIT UP.
I'm glad it went where it did, it pissed you off, so there's the "pisses off whiny crybaby douches" part, then of course there's the fact that it became clear not everyone is like you in being a total loser who is so bereft of anything resembling a life that meaningless RIAA proceedings constitute something to care about.
"the notion that submarine warfare is still so relevant that lesser training in sonar intelligence could cost millions of Americans life, reminds me of that Maginot strategy."
Then you're a fucking idiot.
Sub warfare is not only relevant, it's one of the most important parts of our armed forces.
Your statement makes it clear you have no idea what the fuck you're talking about.
When you ask "how can following an immoral law NOT be evil" as you did, the implication you are making is that if it is IMMORAL, it is EVIL.
However, that is moronic. As I stated, they are nit the same and do not describe the same things. In fact, you admit I am right with this quote
"Of course "moral" and "evil" aren't the same."
So then, you are claiming two unrelated descriptorsd are in fact joined at the hip, which is of course, stupid and wrong.
It is perfectly possible for something to be "immoral" without being "evil" as THEY DESCRIBE TWO ENTIRELY DIFFERENT THINGS.
I did laugh at the fact that you restated exactly what I said, yet seem to be too stupid to realize it.
Are you sure you're capable of reading well enouh to get the point, as you totally missed it previously. On purpose, I suspect, or maybe your reading comprehensino is that shitty.
"As overused as "nuance" is thanks to this election season, perhaps you could cultivate enough nuance yourself to understand that what is "evil" or "moral" is subjective"
I know retard, I made that point. You seem to be very stupid, as you totally missed that one too.
"and not really something that one could say is "stupid and wrong" as you so correctlydid?"
No, imbecile, your assertion that a law is evil if immoral is stupid and wrong.
And you are REALLY REALLY bad at reading for comprehension.
Of course, you're also a whiny fuck who will most likely try to avoid admitting that your reading comprehension is shitty, even thugh you basically restated my post and aren't smart enough to realize it.
In fact, you'll probably try to pretend it's my fault you can't read worth a fuck, and make idiotic posts as a result.
It's also no surprise that whiny, stupidity oriented people complain about rich people then write long winded diatribes in a vain attempt to portray their personal jealousy of the rich as something else.

"Nope, I've seen it. "
No, you haven't.
"Happened to my cousin on an assault case."
No, it didn't.
"He pushed a drunken bitch off of him at the bar, she fell and hurt her ass while some ambulance chaser was watching."
That was your lying cousin's story, which he would have happily, enthusiastically told in court to a jury if he was innocent.
He wasn't, so stop your pathetic attempts to pretend otherwise.
"It probably sounds like some wacky conspiracy theory"
That's because it is.
Someone with better reading comprehension than you.
Give credit where it's due, please

Have you considered suicide? You should.
The problem is the bread has been poisoned for years and everyone involved already knows it.
So you're not informing anyone, you're just wasting time and energy on your pet subject.
Yes, you really are.

Because "moral" and "evil" don't describe the same things and aren't interchangeable concepts.
But don't let nuance prevent you from saying something stupid and wrong, like you did there.
It's also no surprise that whiny, stupidity oriented people complain about rich people then write long winded diatribes in a vain attempt to portray their personal jealousy of the rich as something else.
Like you did in your post.
Which has fuck all to do with his comment and this story, but please, keep spraying the screen with you mental diarrhea.
