And it isn't so much bashing, but more like making fun of.

I live in Chicago and had two friends go to DePaul. One was in an accelerated program that was a joke to say the most. It is all about MONEY.

Point well taken.

But I will play the numbers and bet that my house or my neighbors house will never start on fire.

I'm a poor Java guy that will write an Ant script to run a build that inside of it has a compile task (subset). We (past two companies I worked at) do not use compile and build interchangeably.

Anyway, from your original comment, my reply was a sad attempt at humor, not a personal attack on you personally. I think most /. comments are on the comments, not the person.

Actually, with police around, people here in Chicago are still getting killed. I'd much rather have an automatic to defend myself.
Fire....ummm, they will never get there in time to save my home or family. I have smoke detectors and fire insurance.
Court system. Coruption. I served as a juror for a drunk and driving case. The jury just wanted to go home, and not lose another day of pay. He clearly deserved a DUI, but we found him not guilty because the state attorney did a terrible job of finding him 'guilty without reasonable doubt'.
I'd much rather keep my tax dollars and fend for myself.

Oops, they really got you strung tight over there.
Are't you using an IDE like Eclipse? It compiles in real-time so to speak. Unless you meant to say build.

This is also where my tax dollars are going? I have yet to find something good out of paying taxes.

The point is eating less meat, not cutting meat out entirely.

Not that much...only a few zeros

I see both sides of the argument. I do not Twitter and only Facebook-ed in college. I am busy with two young children and a house that needs work, so I guess I do not have a choice. If I was single, I would probably still be on Facebook, but would NOT Twitter since my two best friends do not Twitter.

You're an idiot!

Everyone knows that Ohio is a political myth

Why not Mag Lev?

Actually yes. Sound will bounce around in the ear and less vibrations will continue to the other nine people, therefore 'taking away sound' (can a physicist chime in here please). If I am talking to you and someone puts a board in between us, my voice hitting your ears would sound quieter.

They did at UIUC in 2005.
