It's sad that you are so incapable of even dealing with moderate disagreement (drmiller and modman aside) that you have to delete comments, lock threads etc. Are you really that insecure about the position you're arguing? It's people like you that give liberals a bad name.
In addition to people asking you to do things that are against policy/law, my favorite are the ones who want you to do additional work for them on your free time... For free. After working about 7 or so years servicing computers and network issues at my High School and then later at my University, the number of times people would ask me to come to their homes to fix something has gone beyond count. And with few exceptions they thought I shoul
I completely agree. As a paladin just entering the mid-40s now I feel the pain brought on by this change. I'm already doing easily less than half the DPS of any of my group members. My heals are less effective than our priest and I have less mana so i burn through it faster. The only consolation is that I can take a beating and res everyone after a swarm of mobs kills everyone else. I'm there as an insurance policy now more than anything.
I've had the best success with Dell overall for english-speaking technicians who actually solved my problems in a timely fashion. Compaq and Gateway are historically the worst. In a strange twist of time and fate, I remember a time when HP tech support for home users was TOP NOTCH. Back in '96 when I had first gotten my PC something very odd happened to Win95 and it would no longer boot into the GUI. I could get into DOS fine, but since I h
It's a rare occassion that I have to call a help desk for my machine considering I used to do help desk stuff for a job, but there are times I either am too tired to bother, or it is truely a problem that baffles me. Whenever I call I have to work my way through the first line support person who is just there to make sure you tried restarting and that everything was actually plugged in to the power bar. If you ask to speak to a supervisor o
It's this whole drive to remove all differences between everyone and everything that is driving me nuts. Being different does not mean one is better than another. Physiologically men and women are different (beyond the obvious dangly bits)... men are predisposed to being better at opening pickle jars, lifting large boxes, and getting a round peg to fit in a square hole (hint, it involves a large hammer and possibly a saw to modify the hole). Women a
Cygnus, you've lost all semblance of coherence in your argument. You're acting like an angry confused kid who has been cornered in an argument. Your arguments have ranged all over the place and don't make any sense at all. I'm not sure what your point in any of this is anymore.
First off, yes, I know this article falls in the category of "noise" :) Now, this is a separate complaint from the issues we used to have with people flooding with advertising spam. This is an issue of there just being a ton of useless crap being posted. The main reason I like this site so much is because of the general high-quality of the articles and com
Schools are trying too hard to make everything "fair" and inoffensive to everyone. They don't want any child to feel better or worse than any other child. They also don't want anyone to show any real uniqueness because that might possibly make some other child envious of what they have. In todays schools all children must be bland copies of one another walking single-file following all the orders of the teacher who is too afraid to actually teach be
Welcome to Reading Comprehension 101
No no no, you got it alllll wrong MM... Here's how the liberal response would go: In order to make sure members of all SD communities (WC, JU, info etc...) are equally represented, each area must send an email. Failing to do that shows favoratism of one over the other, and in a world where we want pure 100% equality, such behaviors can not be allowed. However, if a change is needed, we think there should be a committee set up to investigate
Blaming the industry for your switch to consoles because you have a very outdated game isn't really fair. Games advance as technology advances, they try to use the latest equipment to deliver the best experience possible. When you do that you have to let the lower end go most of the time. It's not possible to code a game that scales equally well from 500MHz to 3.8GHz. In the case of WoW, it scales much better than most of the other games that have
Crap....who breached their confidentiality on that one?!?!? I found out through my network of mutant monkey spies that I've seeded throughout your company. Sure, they look like marketing and PR people, but really they're mindless drones who do my bidding. They even think they're normal human beings..
This sounds like an excellent tool! Though I will be waiting until it has at least OS X support to it since I have 1 Windows PC, 1 Powerbook and a Linux Server (though I can live without using the linux server with MP for a while... I already make a habit of when playing WoW to have the game and TeamSpeak running on my PC, and IM, Firefox (usually pointed to Thottbot.com) and email on my laptop and I'll bounce back and forth between them constantly.
Well then you're making a judgement call on what you value more. Being treated well vs the excitement of the chase. A lot of women make that decision without really realizing it and then don't understand how it all goes wrong in the end. Yes, the nice guys are too easy, there's less "training" or work to get them to treat you well. There's no work or challenge to them... but they'll treat you better on the whole throughout the relationship. <BR
rease Medical research. Maybe there'd be public back-lash against a certain project (cloning?) that would cause a minus to that field for a bit. Might be a bit too complex to implement at this stage, but it's an interesting idea.
t being so early in development, I can't wait to get my hands on the beta!
Objectives are just silly. They mean nothing and they're just a load of BS trying to catch the eye of some clueless HR rep who has no idea what the job they're reviewing for actually entails. I don't know a single person who actually puts any weight behing an Objective statement. The only thing is if you don't include it, sometimes you can be seen as not being serious about the job. Sure, it's a silly waste of space on the paper, but doing shows yo
Thanks for adding nothing of value to the conversation and just ranting on political issues that are irrelevant to the situation at hand. Oh, and in Econ 101, didn't you talk about Opportunity Costs? That's where personal values and such enter into decisions regarding money. Is it of greater value to you to make a ton of cash, or to spend some time defending your nation? Welcome to a fundamental intro to econ concept.
Since I work in the IT field, outsourcing is a topic near and dear to my heart as every day I face being cut because the company could decide that my job could easily be done by a team in India. I am personally against outsourcing, but I recognize that most outsourcing is not because of corporate greed... It's because we, as Americans, are cheap. That's right. Profits enter into it, sure, but what really drives it are the customers.

The thing that got me about the show was the *quality* of the performance was much higher than in many years past... it just packed all the punch of a soggy loaf of bread. If I want a nice, pleasant, calm show, I'll go buy a ticket to one, but this is the Superbowl! Everything about this event is supposed to be extreme and over the top. This is THE TV event of the year by far. I honestly think we're becoming too easily offended. The commercials we

My friend and I were joking about that We also commented that since they were likely unemployed, they'd be too lazy to actually leave. "Evacuate the state? Ah fuck it, I'll just have another beer"
