As a male nurse I think the only time I was ever treated snobbily by older female nurses is when I was a new grad, but this isn't an issue particular to men. They have a saying. "Nurses eat their young". Older nurses are notorious for treating their new brethren pretty shabbily, but there is a reason for this. If a new nurse misses something on their shift or does something wrong it can potentially have disastrous consequences for the nurse about to take over for them. That being said. I love working in a field where us guys are in such an incredible minority. One of the reasons why is because women let their hair down when they are *mostly* amongst their own and I'm privy to 'women' conversations most geeks could only dream of! :D

This is why I have 3 accounts.

1).One that goes for the really important stuff. IE Financial related stuff and my family. No one else gets it.

2.) The one that I give to friends and sign up for things online that I really want, are legitimate online retailers I use a lot. Might be spammed, but probably not.

3.) Everything else, IE Anything sketchy, porn, places I may or may not visit again, etc.

Pretty much anything I'm not expecting from the 3rd one goes straight to the round file, and after a day of my filter learning to deal with the latest influx of crap from whatever trash I've signed up for recently I don't even have to mess with it anymore. The 2nd one rarely gets gets a handful of spam each week, and the first one gets 1 or 2 spam mails a month.

Oh right...because if the GOP had been in control and cut corporate taxes during that 8 year span, everything would have been just as hunky dory. Is that what you trying to say?

OR, make the representative size so large as to make it financially too costly to try to bribe them all. Limit terms, increase the size of senate 20 fold, increase the size of the house of representative 100 fold.

Have a nice day you AC puss.

I wont argue with you on that point aside to say that to some extent they have slightly different corporate masters. They need to make it so that financial support for a candidate is limited to a certain amount, and that only people can contribute. They also need to make it an act of treason to accept any type of kickback.

Except the last 20 years say otherwise....Ooops, damned those pesky facts and history, always getting in the way of GOP dreams.

The best way to do that has been outlawed as its called an assassination. Think how many people and how much money we could have saved if over this century alone if we could have just assassinated the prick at the top? That's one thing that I've never understood. That we make assassinating a leader unlawful because of some moralistic subterfuge, like somehow its more moral to go kill several thousand, or several million people who aren't really connected to the process because we don't have the balls to shoot one other guy in the head.

What good is building a purpose built weapon for something if we don't have the moral fiber to use the damned thing because we're stupidly conflicted about it.

Trust me, a confused older person can become just as preoccupied with something as an autistic child. I've watched Alzheimer patients adjust their bedding for literally *hours* at a time.

Confused older people with screw and fiddle with it until they break it or remove it by any means necessary.

My credentials? Nurse on a telemetry unit where 90% of my patients are over the age of 70. If they are confused, they'll pull IVs, Central Lines, Foley catheters that are fully inflated...yeah, brilliant idea Ohio, but it ain't gonna work. If someone will pull out a golf ball sized balloon through their penis, a little plastic and fabric bracelet aint gonna stop em.

Whatever, Sony is on the verge of making themselves completely irrelevant, had it not been for the blu-ray format, they already would be. Not sure how many PS3 fanboys they lost over the recent debacle, the CD rootkit, etc, etc. Go ahead and pull your movies from one venue of distribution Sony, more than likely, no one will miss them with all of the offerings. "Ohhhh I can't watch movie "X", well they do have movies "Y" and "z" and "W""

To determine that people tend to do things in order, and that achievements generally build on one another? What sense would it make to run around doing achievements at random? Apparently 20% people do, but....as for the rest of us, apparently we think methodically, this is news?

I *totally* second this, most of the puzzles aren't crazy hard, they have moderated forums for if she does get stuck, and the games are designed for young woman, IE no fly under the radar sexual references and such. My 8 year old plays these with her mom and they BOTH love them. (I've played through a few of them myself...)

Techies may one be a very small percentage of Sonys base customers, however, I've noticed as a group that when they talk loudly and badly enough about stuff, it eventually gets through to the masses, witness the falling market share of Internet Explorer if you doubt what Im saying. The masses tend to listen to techies....when they talk about tech, because the masses *don't* know any better.

Subject says it all. The fact that one of my friends managed to break his Sony TV today just mounting it to the wall is proof enough that their hardware is cheap shit, not withstanding my 2 PS 2s that died within 100 days of release and the fact that they didn't stand behind them. Ever since I've stopped being a Sony fanboi sucking on SCEAs tit, my (electronic) life has improved immeasurably, Fuck Sony, I hope the company as a whole will quickly die a horrible, shitty death and I will watch the satisfaction of watching their stock price sink lower and lower until it hits 0 as they continuously fuck over their consumer base until nothing is left .

Oh btw, did I mention?

Fuck Sony.
