Comment What is the point of your education? (Score 1) 583

If you're pursuing a degree in computer SCIENCE, of course advanced math will be involved. Do you really think your favorite C++ development tools just appeared without any math? Do you think Linus gave us the OS Of The Gods without math? If all you want to do is hack databases or keep the network running, why are you getting a CS degree? I can get a Gen-loser to do that job at half your overpriced College Graduate salary and all the Doritos the kid can consume and he won't bother me about "family leave" or 401Ks. He'll do a better job of it than a huge percentage of you graduates as well (ya, I know you don't want clients to see him - that's why I keep him in the dungeon with the fridge and all the porn he can stream).

"government funds to support the change are 'woefully inadequate' " Give me a freakin' bvreak! Of course. Government funds are ALWAYS inadequate. And since when is it the taxpayer's responsibility to pay for people's TV tuners. And, look at the price! If you can't afford the box, how is it you can afford TV! You should be getting off your ass and get a job. I can't believe what a nation of whiners this country has become. Suck it up and buy the box, a new TV, or read a freakin' book and get your damn hands out of my wallet!!!

Comment Typical human response (Score 1) 480

This is the same type of human response which says, "We've observed slightly higher levels of CO2 lately, we've observed slightly higher temperatures lately, humans burn things which create CO2 ... Humans must be destroying the planet!!" The failure of schools to teach critical thinking is what will destroy the planet.

Comment Duh, and duh-er. (Score 2, Insightful) 398

You don't show up for the job interview stoned and wearing a tie dye either. And, "We consider Facebook and MySpace their personal space,' the dean of undergraduate admissions said. 'It would feel somewhat like an invasion of privacy." is just so incredibly stupid. It is a PUBLIC site you morons. If you don't want to be known as a loadie, don't post it. Kids today, (as I sound just like my dad).
