Comment Re:Aren't these people supposed to be scientists?? (Score 1) 148

First: Scientific Law vs. Theory. Perhaps you should learn the difference.

Second: Are you seriously trying to make an argument based off of what wikipedia says? Let's try to deal with the facts, okay?

Third, I'm open to all possibilities (can you say the same?) and science has proven abiogenic beginnings do not occur. As I stated before if you want to spend YOUR money try to prove otherwise, please feel free to do so. Just stop spending MY money on a flawed theory that has already been proven impossible both scientifically and mathematically.

Seriously...

Apparently they can't be bothered to pick up a textbook and learn that Redi and Pasteur proved it doesn't work like that a couple hundred years ago.
It's call the law of biogenesis.
Stop spending tax dollars trying to prove your Theory when there is already a scientific law disproving it.
If you want to spend your own money on it fine, just stop spending mine on your junk 'science.'

Because for a system administrator, paranoia is a basic job requirement. Consequently, when it comes to data security, there's no such thing as too much overkill. Even when you have subjected the drive to a thermite reaction, let it cool, and ground the whole resulting mess down to the consistency of talcum powder, you still have to scatter the ashes over at least a thousand square miles of ocean, just to be sure. Ideally, you'd scatter half the ashes over the central Pacific, some of them over the north Atlantic, and the rest over the southern ocean.

It's always refreshing to know that I'm not the only one like this......

Comment This is not "developer's block" (Score 1) 601

Developers block, like writers block means you are out of ideas. You clearly stated you have plenty of ideas.
Your problem is motivation. If you've really been working on that project for six months, maybe it's time for a vacation.
If the vacation doesn't fix your motivation problem, then you may want to truly evaluate if you are suited to sole programmer work,
or if you are even suited to programming professionally.

Cuz, you know...it's not like a terrorist or some wanted felon would think to try and sneak on a plane by taking a drug that masked his fingerprints.
...and I'm sure no one would be at all outraged if he managed to get into the cockpit and fly the plane into crash it into something.
I'm sure you'd give the guy taking the fingerprints a pass on his failure to follow the protocol.

Somehow I think your stereotype of "FATBALL LIVES AT HOME WITH MOMMY LOL" falls flat.

Agreed.
None of the WoW players people I personally know
(meaning I regularly see them with my own eyes out in the real world)
fit into that lardball living with mommy sterotype.
I'm sure there are plenty of them out there though.

Personally, I don't care for raids and I only tolerate battlegrounds for better gear and to satisfy the occasional desire for PvP.
I enjoy questing alone or in small groups. Doing the same quests again as a different class and race puts enough difference in to keep it from becoming mundane for me. When I'm tired of that, I can always suck it up and roll an Alliance character and play the other side.
