Comment as usual your looking at this all wrong. (Score -1) 785

It's not a question of age, but experience, and the 2 are vastly different things.

paying a wet behind the ears kid more then an experienced developer is just wrong no matter what "hot" technology they claim to know, because it takes YEARS to work up what i would call an acceptable level of knowledge in any language to command a high rate of pay. If this kid if right out of college then he's probably not worth much. sorry gen Y, but you've got lots to learn.

I'm in my 30's and it's only been in the last few years that i've had the experience to command large salaries, that's just how the world is - it takes time to learn shit.

Adding an Olfactory Dimension To Games 108

cylonlover writes "California-based company Scent Sciences is looking to bring an olfactory dimension to computer games with its ScentScape personal digital scent delivery system. The ScentScape Gaming Suite system consists of a unit that plugs into a PC or gaming console via USB and generates smells using scent cartridges. As well as aiming for the development of ScentScape-capable games from games developers, the system also allows gamers to add scents to existing games and share these with other ScentScape system users."

Comment lunar mass (Score -1) 348

the issue i see with a large scale mining of the moon (and shooting it into space), is what will happen with us changing the mass of the moon? I get that it's huge and we would only take a few % off it, but let's never say never here and consider in 100 years if we removed 1% of the moons mass, would this affect processes on earth?

i don't know how it works in the USA, but here in australia that's not how it works with mining companies. here and in most other 1st world countries miners have to pay environmental bonds to cover the cost of clean up if they walk away. they only get part of that back if they perform full rehab works.

of course if your living in some bum fucked 3rd world country where your officals are corrupt, well your fucked and need to fix your country.

good, fuck mom and pop store owners who rape you in the ass with high prices. as long as anyone is free to open a competing store, it's fine.

all the snobby fucktards who think they are too good to shop at wal-mart can't be as clever as they think they are if they are paying more just to avoid a wal-mart.

if you own a business and your wealthy from it, you've already paid a shit load more in tax personally and in company tax then was needed to cover your share of social expenses like schools.

i personally pay enough income tax to cover 2 people's social security and medical annually, so anyone claiming i'm not pulling my weight can go fuck themselves.
