  3. Re:suduko v crossword puzzle on Evidence for Unconscious Math, Language Processing Abilities · · Score: 2

    Sudoku is absolutely math. Unless your definition of math is "addition, subtraction, multiplication, division." But that's not the whole of math, it's just arithmetic.

    "researchers found that subjects became consciously aware of a sentence sooner if it was jarring and nonsensical (like, for example, the sentence 'I ironed coffee')."

    That's a perfectly cromulent sentence.

    If we just do a straight trade of TX and PR, we won't even have to redesign the nation's flag. Good luck defending your southern border, TX.

  8. Re:How the left won on The Data Crunchers Who Helped Win The Election · · Score: 1

    Well, the numbers are there to look at. A sliver of the popular vote (won by ~250K iirc) but a landslide of the Electoral College (303 to 205 or thereabouts, with FL still missing when I saw the numbers) vote. Which is why both candidates spent so much time in only 10 states.

    Come on, Wingtards, figure it out. Is Obama Satan? Is he Marx? Hitler? He's not all of them. Get a god damn consensus.

    Back on topic, I don't know what the criteria were for this database. I've never been registered Democrat. I've never donated, time or money. I've never even participated in an exit poll. But fuck me, I was getting 4 robocalls a day from them, a full snail mail box, shit taped to my door...I never even got to tell anyone in person why Obama could fuck off this cycle, but at least I got to jerk off to Eva Longoria's recorded voice. Thanks, Eva.

    It turns out there were 10-15 other candidates on the ballot depending on where you lived. Maybe you just weren't paying attention.

    They're going to make their customers better? How does that work? And more importantly, why do Slashdot's editors still suck so hard?

  12. Re:Bollocks on Ralph Nader Moderates One Last 3rd-Party Debate for 2012 · · Score: 1

    But that wasn't my point. What you're doing is making excuses. If you really, truly believed in taking personal responsibility you'd be living in a flophouse or under a bridge instead of letting someone else pay your bills for you.

    I'm not being flippant. Sometimes it's OK to accept help when you need it. Just don't be a hypocrite in the process.

    None of those things makes him a hero, but all of them make his government look like weak lapdogs eager to grab their ankles for US interests.

    "Frankly, after visiting ISideWith.com, I was blown away at how congruent my views are with the Green candidate, Jill Stein."

    Every single person I've seen comment on that site has had the same results, leading me to question its neutrality. I voted for Stein anyway, not because I'm closely aligned with the Green platform, but because fuck Obomney.

    I don't understand the people who bitch about training their replacements when a company ships jobs away. I get that you were desperate for the money and were forced into this economic rape. I don't get why you didn't train your replacement very, very poorly. That's what I would do.

    I had a set of their drafting pens in the 90s (when they were around $15 each). Regardless of how carefully I washed and dried them after every use, on high quality paper and using only the Koh-I-Noor ink, all but the very largest sizes had severe clogging problems. I could never get more than around 5-10 minutes of consistent writing from the smaller sizes between washes. Maybe they've improved since then, but I gave up on them long ago.
