Comment: Sure, with a behaviorist treatment ... (Score 1) 931

All behaviorist psychology is based on the idea that people is gullible and easy to manipulate. So, sure, if the treatment's success is directly correlated to how gullible the person is, then creationists will be cured in nanoseconds. Maybe Freudian/Lacanian psychoanalysis, or any other technique that respects the intelligence of the patient would have a better outcome with people that aren't absolute retards.

Jumping straight into C isn't such a good idea. Specially for an 8 year old kid. Pointers? When you have only been doing basic math for a couple of years?

Let them understand the logic, and then you can switch them to something more advanced. Just make sure they don't stay on a broken training-wheels language like basic past the age of 12.

I haven't taken a note in my entire life, and I consider highlighting books to be sacrilege.

Taking notes is overrated. If your brain can't process the information, taking notes won't mean anything in the long run. It's just a exam-passing technique, but it won't help you understand better and certainly will not help you hold on to more knowledge beyond the date of the exam you are studying for.

Read the damn book. Then read some more on the subject, and by all means skip pages and passages if you consider them non-important or redundant. In the real world you will not have time to read 1500 pages of product documentation to understand an API. Learning to skip the irrelevant content and find the relevant information quickly is a fundamental skill.

Yeah, and banning those drugs has been a great idea. Why don't you ban alcohol too? And ban smoking. Ban television shows and movies you consider dangerous, and censor video games. While you are at it, go ahead and ban all sex, anything outside of the missionary position for the sole purpose of procreation (while married, of course).

You should also put speed limiters on vehicles. Nothing can go faster than 100km/h. We should also start censoring the internet. There are so many dangerous things in here that ... what was the magic wording again? Ah, right, "things that might destroy families". And we all know how important families are for us god-fearing fundamentalist christians. So ban everything, because I have so little confidence in our social structure that I believe anything can tear it down.

Wayland/Weston Gets Forked As Northfield/Norwood 252

Posted by timothy
from the same-number-syllables dept.
An anonymous reader writes "Weeks after Canonical announced Mir, Wayland's display server protocol and Weston compositor have been forked. A contributor to Wayland found differing views with the project over desktop eye candy and other technical decisions to the X11 successor, which resulted in forming the Northfield and Norwood projects. The developer, Scott Moreau, has been outted from the project but has provided a lengthy explanation why the fork was needed to advance the Linux desktop."

Fucking stupid. We're in the 21th century, and you still haven't got over sex? It's a part of life, and it's fun to joke about it. Women dress in sexy attires. Men tell dirty jokes. We each have our own way of expressing ourselves. If you can't handle a few dick jokes, then GTFO.

You say you want the world of coding to welcome woman. We do. But you want US to change our ways. You need us to accommodate everything to the "fragile" females, who can't handle reality? Dirty jokes are rape. Flirting is rape. Looking at you is rape. Woman ARE NOT FRAGILE. They can handle dick jokes, they can talk about sex, and if somebody flirts with them on the job, they can either fuck him or tell him to go away. They don't need protection. It's not Woman in general who are fragile and need protection, it's YOU. It's not a female issue, it's a YOU issue. YOU are fragile, and you have problems with your own sex life, so you can't handle people behaving in a NATURAL way. Go see a psychologist, so that YOU can change to accommodate the world instead of expecting we all change the world to accommodate you.
