Comment How come (Score 1, Insightful) 1011

these idiots talk about carbon and not carbon dioxide? Does carbon monoxide warm the planet too? Or can we ignore chemistry and this is only about carbon? Ban pencils! I told one friend who is freaked about global warming to give up his soda pop. He said no:)

As geeks can have anxiety about approaching women, a salsa or country dance class is ideal. It really helps if you see the same people week after week and practice social skills and greeting everyone. Generally you rotate and dance with everyone, and it is quite possible to meet people where you like each other on an energy level, without much need to talk at first, especially since the instructor will yell at you if you are talking too much. From here, you build confidence and nature works its magic.

Been there, doing it:)

Comment Is Indian English really English? (Score 1) 386

"Oh, my head is paining me." 'Pain' is not a transitive verb. Use 'hurt' instead.

"You will bring the project files?" American English makes it 'verb subject?':

"Are you going to bring the project files?"

You will also need to get used to the fact that Indians speak many different languages, many of which have large numbers of syllables, and they can speak them very quickly. They do the same with English. You will not be able to listen quickly enough. Then again some people I have met from Mumbai have a very good standard of International English.

Submission + - Students busted on piracy charges

taoman1 writes: The music industry is asking 50 Ohio University students to pay $3,000 each to avoid lawsuits accusing them of pirating songs off the Internet. The Recording Industry Association of America asked the university to pass along letters to the students with Internet addresses accused of being involved with the illegal sharing of copyrighted music. The university notified the students on Monday. "The downloading has occurred and we can't change that, but we can let them know what their options are," OU spokeswoman Sally Linder said Wednesday.
